Parshas Vayeishev: The Historic Challenge the Rashbam Dealt with His Grandfather, Rashi

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay welcome everyone thank you everyone for coming tonight uh tonight we have a very interesting topic um even though it's only a few days before Kaneka and everyone's expecting to hear sh Kana but like we said last week we were very unpredictable here so today we're going to do the paraa and uh to my mind one of the most exciting topics that I came up with uh in a very long time um and it's just an analysis of the simple meaning of some of theim but it really brings us into some very fundamental areas okay so we begin in the beginning of the par the says these are the of yov we're not going to translate what the word too means was 17 years old and he's a shepherd and he's a together with and brings okay so the again begins these are Theo of now we're accustomed to thinking that the world word too means what children right so we always think means children and therefore rash is bothered by a question what do you mean was not the only child of yob yob had 12 children 12 Etc why only mention so about this question and therefore Rashi says the word has another meaning says rash these are of the events of say in other words rash learns the word means the development the history of you want to know the history of it starts with right the first the first point of reference when you talk about the history of Yu is was 17 years old and because of that and ended up in so Rashi is Translating that the word too means history development says Rashi do you know why I'm translating the word too as history even though the literal meaning of the word means children says rash you know why this is the simple interpretation of the for everything to fit into the context in other words what does to mean over here it means history why am I translating it history because in the context of theim it means history then Rashi brings a says means children ah had more than one child no his main child his main progeny was y right like says Rashi the whole reason why y married Ra was for y looked like yov whatever happened to Y happened to Y so it is correct if you want to translate too as children can we lower the heat in here if you want to translate the word too as children yaku only had one primary child who is the primary child who is he Y what about Ru what about shim what about Ley what about the others the answer is they were not the main children the main child of Y was okay we now encounter one of the most interesting comments any of the rim ever make and this is a comment of rashbam the rashbam was the grandson of rashi rashi had only daughters rash she had a daughter and this daughter was to have from her most of the she had R and she had his brother the rasham rash Ben mayor the son of the son of Mayor and the rashbam has a little bit of a different approach toes than Rashi does and the rashbam at this juncture in time feels that he needs to preface his remarks with a general understanding of his approach to interpreting the soash begins like this take a look at the words of rash says rash comprehend understand anyone who loves now the is telling us that his approach toes does not necessarily appeal to every single mind in other words you have some people you tell them a good ver it excites them some people like a gatria some people like AES says rash my commentary is not going to appeal to someone who just likes a good V my commentary Onish will appeal to someone who has someone who has brains someone who has intellect because says rasham my Approach is the most logical approach to and that's why he says whoever is a will love my Approach says you know why there is a rule the rule is like this we know have many meanings right brings down every has 600,000 interpretations but it all starts with one specific interpretation of the p and that interpretation is there is a simple interpretation there is a Elementary interpretation on the most basic level there's an inter interpretation of the which is called there's something called now not everybody always loves to hear people like to hear says this is not a g it's what I'm telling you ISAT by the way we do tell us where is there such a comment so the the shabas says an amazing says like this is talking about the opinion of RAB elazar rabar says that on chabas you could walk outside with your sword what do you mean the sword you're not how to carry on chabas right we're not talking about I haven't looked in over here yet cugar Hills there's a good AR let's say in Flatbush right there's no AR in Flatbush but says you can't carry imp so if you walk in your sword you would think it's an no you're allowed to wear a sword on chabas why why you allow to wear a sword on chabas because rezar holds a sword sword is not carrying it's an ornament like the P says G your loins with a sword it is your glory it's your majesty a sword is a sign of uh it's a sign of power it's a sign of Honor it's not necessarily A Mas it's not carrying something it's a sign of dignity let's say in in England right the soldiers they carry swords if there's a terrorist they're not they're not pulling out their sword and fencing with the uh suspected terrorists right they have hopefully better ways of taking care but a sword is a sign of Glory so the gamarra asks you're going to learn from there you could carry a sword on chabus what do you mean that's talking about Tyra when it says G yourself with a sword what it means is somebody who knows Tyra that TOA knowledge is a sign of Glory but it's not actually it doesn't actually mean that a sword is a sign of glory and the says yes it does it means both a every has a literal interpretation so if it says gir yourself with a sword it's a glory for you even though it refers to T it also refers to your sword says the gamar an amazing thing says said it's number four on your sheet and some say he said some say and some say he said and some say said to we learned in the Yesa our whole life says the says I'm 18 years old I learned I know I know say there's R I know Kim I know tus I know I'm 18 years I know the whole the whole but there's one thing I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know have a literal translation and now that I learned now not only do I know I also know that have a literal interpretation okay so says rasham every PK has an elementary interpretation however very important even though the is not in other words if if we were to ask what is the main T what is what is T is is Right Rashi by the way says in you want to know I say I learned I learned Tyra what do you learn the Tyra is gar the kenberg Raba used to say he once spoke for the women of kma so he told them you should know when your husband comes home okay he's going to learn make sure the thing he's learning is this big what does that mean make sure he's learning gamar in other a lot ofum out there and they're all galic they're all important they're all nice the main learning is make sure he's opening up a gamar say you know you know make sure it's this big I don't know if he meant lauk the art which is a little smaller you can use the Arts girl but you mean make sure you're learning but says the is not the is so there are two there's something called and then there's I don't mean you know when a rabbi gets up shabas morning and he says a I'm not talking about that I'm talking about so there's and there's the Tyra is is also a of says the and rash the ri the r you know what they learn they focus on JIS you know why they're so righteous they're so saintly they follow and they emphasize the but but they came at an expense there's a downside you know what the downside is that if you just learn based on the G then you only get used to learning but says rash all of these people all of these they never accustomed themselves to learn simple in the they could say what and they could say what and they could say what ra but they can't understand the simple meaning of the says rash there's a reason why they they don't focus on this the reason is because the gamar says that learning T is not as great as learning gamar so you can't fold these for focusing on the and not focusing on the but the bottom line is not too many people out there who could read a PK and tell you what it means simply see say what do you mean Rashi could do that right can Rashi do that says rashbam you wouldn't believe it this is one of the most amazing things Anyan ever wrote about on the 10th Line says rasham you ready for this who's Rashi my mother's father May the light of the Exile he explained the my grandfather tried to explain the simple meaning of the he tried may I also the rash mayor his son-in-law right mayor was a son-in-law of Rashi I the rash says I the son of R I fought with my z i argued with my Z I said Z you didn't do a good job yeah I don't like your job nice try the rashbam went to Rashi and he said you call this this is not is not sorry doesn't cut it it doesn't make the cut says rasham I argued with him not only did I argue with him I argued to his face I didn't just speak I didn't just say you know I don't like the job my grandfather did I went to Rashi and I said Z I don't think you did a good job I don't think you hit it on the on the head says rasham and admitted to me that if he would have had more time he would have wrote a different can you imagine such a thing some people refer to Rashi as rash right Rashi the most classic commentary on in fact there are those who say that there's a some say that if you don't do which is you could do rash you could do Rashi says rash I went to Rashi and I said to Rashi no no you didn't do a good job the job you should have done was what I did on and says rasham you know what Rashi did Rashi was to me Rashi agreed to me if I would have had more time I would have wrote another p and therefore says rasham let me tell you how how I explain the PK says rasham let me explain something to you you know how all the explain the they say means the history of yob the development of yob the the future of of jakob's career says rasham you know what I have to say about such a he it's nonsense nonsense whoat is he calling nonsense he's calling rashi's nonsense he's calling rash he says rash let me tell you what it means let me tell you what means means not children to means grandchildren the word too means grandchildren says you look in the beginning it says the end of it already says that the children of were why is the repeating you know what the answer is says rashbam we know who his children are but who are his grandchildren who are his Descendants the answer is you know what the Torah is saying you want to know who his descends you know who his grandchildren are well first of all he had three children and then they got married the problem was there were there was a very bad generation the people sined so they had to go onto a tava on the Tava they were so they came out of the TAA and they lived a family life and they had children that's the answer the entire is an answer to the first the first is these are the grandchildren of and how do we get grandchildren you read and says the rash the same thing with as at the end of last week's par it says and it doesn't just say his children it says his grandchildren says you want to know what it means these are the not history of yov not child of yov grandchildren of yov say grandchildren of yov where do we say anything about grandchildren the answer is you know how Yakov has grandchildren there was a man by the name of y y 17 years old they don't like him so they sell him he goes down to go down to he gets married in who does he have yehud because he agreed to it he's demoted so he finds a lady he marries her and he has and Sh he has and yob has grandchildren there and the other brothers they get married back at home and when they all go down to says the rash my is not my grandfather's my grandfather's Pat is like a bad attempt atat and I told him I wasn't embar I told him and he agreed he said you're right I should have wrode another chat now if you want to know anything about any reine the most authoritative place to look is a we know traveled he from he traveled throughout Europe he went to many of the libraries he memorized all the that he wrote that that he saw there he memorized all the bibl bibliographic information about all theim and in his entry on the rasham the uh the right something very interesting says the number five rashash rash is the grandson the son of the daughter of Rashi he's the student of rash he's the brother of okay then the continues in the next paragraph rash's commentary is not remes is not J is not it's and he even told rashi rashi I don't like your PS you should have wrote more simple says and Rashi was and Rashi said I would have liked to I didn't have enough time and then the then the tells us a story about the rash now you need to know the is not a story book so if the is telling us an anecdote that means it's found in an early the story is like this the rashbam had a certain practice and the prti practice was he never raised up his eyes he always walked with his eyes down on the floor even though many perhaps many sikim did that this is one thing we know about the rash he never raised his eyes saves you a lot of trouble people think you know you're missing out you're not missing out on anything he he had a very happy life the only problem is one time he wanted to go on top of a wagon and he was going together with his brother RAB Rab's name was yak and ra says rasham do you know what you're about to do you see this wagon there's a horse and a mule pulling the wagon you can't ride on such a wagon really and he didn't ride on the wagon R said this is the only thing we know about the rasham the only thing we know about the rashbam is he didn't look anywhere and one time he almost rode on a on a wagon with a horse and a mule I'm thinking to myself does this mean something that this is the only thing we know about the rasham it's not this is not you know the art SC biography about the this is the only piece of information by the way this story appears in the it's a story from Arisha it's like the only thing we know about the rasham is he never raised his eyes just suggestion maybe this was somehow symbolic of his whole approach to learning in other words I know I know big rashash shivas and they don't learn SP far that I I learn they just learn gash that's it it's like they don't venture out some people some people say how could that be no they're so great they're so great all they need is gar rash and and rash I like you know 100 different noash maybe a little raan rash a little the rashbam was able to get everything out of just what's in front of him everything he had his whole kick came right from his dollas he didn't he didn't venture out in any way okay that just but here's my problem the rashbam went to his grandfather and supposedly he said Z this ISAT you call thisat this is notat I don't understand that what do you think Rashi was doing when Rashi wrote his commentary on thees what do you think Rashi is trying to do rash is trying to tell meash trying to tell me rash's job is he's a par he's telling me I mean if you want to know what is rashi's manra what is rashi's goal in explaining the Rashi it's a famous you should have this memorized rash says Rashi I'm not here to tell you Med I'm not here to tell you you want says want go to the Shelf look in the my only job is to tell you that's all I do so here his grandson said Rashi you're telling us this is your only job bad job I mean that's what Rashi does that's his if Rashi was a Bashan I can understand that the rasham would come to Rashi and say Rashi you really should have said here but Rashi never claimed to be a Bashan in fact Rashi is known as the quintessential man who explains so what's the Raj's problem with Rashi do you know how many times Rashi makes reference to the fact that his whole commentary on is take a look at this week's para on the words uh well we'll talk about this soon y meets up the man and Y says where did they go oh he says I heard them saying literally it means we're going to so Rashi says it means is not a place it means they were looking for pretexts like a pretext to kill to kill you but says rash but you want to know simple is a place because you can't remove the PK from its literal interpretation look at says yeah this month's for you not not this bud's for you this month's for you right what do you mean this month a month is not a thing you could point to what do you mean this month s Rashi says you have to say a Hashem the moon you see how the Moon looks now this is how the Moon looks but Rashi then says that's a but you can't remove the P from his literal interpretation and therefore what what the means literally is they were holding in which month in the month of niss says so every time Rashi feels that there's a literal interpretation he doesn't even allow himself only to say he says so what's the rash's problem with Rashi what is the rash want from Rashi that's rash's job rash's job is right brings in plenty of time he brings in other things and then he says okay but that means Rashi feels that his barometer of what's acceptable in his commentary is what fits the guidelines of sh right right so what does rashbam want from him what does he want what does he want Rashi to do that's rashi's entire purpose okay by the way let's move for a second I want you to go take a look at number nine and on Rashi very important to know okay so Rashi was rash stand for was his father fine who areash says and this is critical we have rashan the Rashi we have on CHAS was not the only commentary he wrote on CHAS really how many commentaries Rashi write on CHAS Rashi wrote three commentaries on the commentary that we have is number three the Madura of Rashi that we have is Madura fi the Third Edition of Rashi that's why and this answer is something I was always bothered by if you look in the Fourth Park in kadan most of the T half of T is T saying perish said and that takes up like half of Tois which works out well you get to cover the BL faster right he quotes over Rashi and then he asks on Rashi and half the time the Rashi that he quotes it's not in Rashi how is such a thing possible the answer is saying that Rashi wrote three three editions of Rashi on CH had the first and second edition sometimes when when says perish he's not quoting the rash we have he's quoting mad mad okay but the does not tell us anything about how many commentaries onot says Rashi wrote three additions on how many additions did he write on so here's a very interesting thing in on the words um right you know in right right how do we end right so wants to know what do these words mean listen to Rashi says Rashi what does the word mean we have no word in the whole tanak that reflects and beers testimony on what this word h means I don't know says rash my best guess is says rash it's a of Separation that Hashem separated us to be his nation and we separated Hashem that he should be our God Rashi says I have no evidence from any word in this is my conjecture and then Rashi says I found a witness what's the witness like in the by the way when do we say that every Wednesday so right Wednesday is the day before we have the she right so every every Wednesday when you say the to have in mind today is the day that there's a she and uh even if you have other things you may better make sure you make it otherwise I might not talk to you again okay so that's what you say on fine I have one question for you Rashi says he begins by saying there is no word in t that be any evidence what this word means and then Rashi ends off I found a witness rash himself he starts off by saying there's no testimony and then he says I found the testimony make up your mind what does this mean says the T rash these two comments come from two editions of Rashi rashi's first P was madash in Mad Rashi could not find in tanak any witness what the word what the word means in Rashi second mad he realized there is a word in toim that be his testimony on the word h and okay so we're learning that Rashi wrote many many additions in gamar he wrote three in he wrote two and Rashi said supposedly to the rash that if he would have had time he would have done what the rasham wanted to him to have done and right a more com of course it is where in there's something called Tyra Five Books of Moses then you have how many books you have eight books yeshu eight and then you have what's you have five millas and then you have and then you have at least I got it otherwise be big trouble I can't even get that off over here yeah so is one of the of yeah okay so so is in T it's in okay let's turn for a few moments to the uh rash's understanding of I think everybody here if I would have lined you up and asked you what happened how was y sold I mean everybody knows they didn't like him so they decided they're going to kill him and then at the last moment they saw a bunch of Yim and they said let's sell him to the isim and they pulled him out of the pit and they sold him to the isim and because of that ET Etc let's just read the take a look at number 13 so the brothers say let's go sell them to the Arabs let's not throw our hand against him he's our brother right if I ask right now who do they want to sell him to the next on him pass by like what does it have to do with anything yeah and what's uh what what what the sty what's Apple at right now who cares that M pass by they pulled him out of the bar who pulled y out of the bar who pulled y out of the bar me read the P what no there's something in English go a noun and a pronoun so at the beginning of the PK it says MIM passed by and they pulled him out who pulled him out MIM MIM pulled him out of the bar I never heard that and they sold him to the I thought is bought him before what happened here so izra says like this izra says they're all the same what's the difference between and and they all wear Dusty things on their head it's all the same so the me they said let's sell him to the were passing by meaning the were passing by and the brothers pulled him out of the pit and they sold to it's all the same nationality that is how the learns and he says the proof is in it talks about M being says rash that's not what happened what happened was y was sold many times what happened they said let's sell him to so where did the come in were passing by that's just so you should know that they were passing by but they didn't do anything yet so just it's like a nonsecular it's like a random idea what do they do nothing yet nothing at all and then it says and they pulled him out of the pit says Rashi who pulled him out of the pit number 15 the brothers pulled him out of the pit and they sold him to theim and according to Rashi theim sold him to the MIM so it's a little bit if we can say a little bit of a convoluted way of reading the P if we could say such a thing again just pick on on the nuances it begins by saying randomly the Torah says like some idea that has nothing to do with anything midan were passing by but not that they were sold to the mum at first and they pulled him out of the pit is who the brothers and they sold him to isim says Rashi and later on the the M were the ones who bought him from the is that's why the Torah adds like parenthetically M were passing by says the rashbam all these perim are ridiculous that's how you read a p m are passing by why is Hashem why is mhu writing M passing by if they didn't buy him now imagine I'm talking to you and I randomly start telling you things have nothing to do with the shear and it's weird if you're if you're if you're talking about a subject you don't just throw in unnecessary details why is the T saying and pass by say rasham you ready for look at number 12 you know what happened by the brothers decided they were going to eat they threw him in the pit but who would eat a meal with their brother sitting there right in the pit next to you so of course they went far away from the the pit and what happened they were waiting to sell him to isim says the T in the meantime passed by and guess who pulled y out of the pit the and they took and the brothers came back and they said where in the world is and sayara by the way the brothers never knew what ever happened to you I said the m and out of the pit sold them to the and the brothers never knew what happened to him and the brothers never sold him they didn't they didn't what about it says that in the T what about what they told me in first grade read didn't know thean the brothers never sold y the Arabs sold him those Arabs they sold I says rash they never knew he just meant that because of you I was sold down [Music] to why is rasham explaining it this way you know why cuz telling you you know MRA means read the and don't tell me things you know from the gar or from har or from other sources just read the words of the P it also means something so if you read the words of the PK the P says let's sell him to by the way there's a a very comprehensive work on the rashbam and he says the rashbam said thisat for four reasons number one take a look at pass by if it meant the brothers pulled y out of the pit it should say he points out why is the Torah telling me m pass by it's a random idea has nothing to do with the story line the answer is it has everything to do with the story line the brothers thought they were going to sell him to Y and they never did they sold him to midan another R it said ruen returned and he sees the pit is empty so rash Ru returned returned from where according to Rashi the brothers were eating salami sandwich is right next to the pit they're eating lunch right next to what do you mean ruin returned so Rashi has to say you know what it means Ru returned Ru wasn't there when y was sold Ru was doing what says Rashi it was his day to serve his father or Rashi says he was busy doing Chua he was clapping Al because he was the bed of his father says rasham what it was ruin was was serving his father we in the does it say ruin was busy serving his father we in the Kish does it say ruin was doing cha says rash when you explain you could only use the information that's given to you don't explain it based onaz don't explain it based on yeah does that mean kazal are wrong no we'll have to see but if you want to be like a pan if you want to be a and you want to explain theim the way you do it is you just need to explain the simple Pim without any other information another thing that fits very well into is tells they say who are you says I was kidnapped kidnapped y was never kidnapped was sold to M the brothers took him and they sold him to but according to he was never sold he was sitting in a pit and he was kidnapped by the M that's what says that's the simple meaning of the P let's come back and try to explain what in the world is the rash Bam's problem with Rashi the rashbam has a problem with Rashi he says I told Rashi you didn't do a good job you need to explain so just want to bring to your attention three rash bams very quickly where the rashbam adds in one word the rashbam in par on the I say this three times a day right that's my any other we have a few right says rashi rashi says who is this going on that we say d judges his people Rashi says it's going on shine shine okay says rasham whoever said says that this is going on look at these words number 18 does not know the depths of but he adds one word he doesn't know not he says you think in his when he says he's talking that one guy from the whole who gets his eyes pierced out the that's the only person he's talking about says if you say such a you look in the on the words number 19 the last line I I'll bring you yeah everyone here wears I hope so it says you wear put th on your hand nobody puts th on their hand so what does it mean says rasham you know what it means put th on your hand it should be such a remembrance like somebody who wanted to remember something he would write it on his hand that's what fing should be to you it should be so so create such a cognizant awareness ofm it should be as if it's written on your hand says rasham this is the depth of the in other words rash is creating a new category of explanation you know what the explanation is there's but is not good enough you need the depths of the you need in fact there um so where did rash get this from this concept we know what do mean it's actually they the medish says like this there's a there's a medish called was written about compiled about A Thousand Years Ago by and he also uses this language in two places he has this idea the depths of there's and then there's I want to I want to show you a very interesting rash you know how Rashi says in again in you ironically or maybe even sarcastically and I saw this in print the rash says in his introduction the main is is but if you want you know where you find he doesn't say look in the look in the you want look inash so again we have to just iron out what's the difference between Rashi and rashash claims this is the biggest Whopper of them all the what is K says whoever says it means that when the Jewish people have have when there's then we'll destroy says I don't agree with that again then then we could destroy says such a comment is he dismisses it interesting he dismisses it that's how the interprets the that we have a Mitzvah of establishing a we have a Mitzvah of destroying you can only destroy if you have a if you have a like thek says so the that the says a is the gamar so what the rash is saying to the gamar ain't near a CL gar you're wrong how could the rash say to the gar ain't near a CL the said earlier that anyone who says the what does he say remember number 18 he doesn't know how to read a oh really you know who learns a that way number is saying what didn't know so what's talking about every rejects is a or a tarum this is the best one where's the you know T is is a a let's say you're about and you don't pause after a you got to stop the now nobody does that otherwise we' be here all day but is a trop that is a m if you don't pause after you didn't you didn't do the job there's a Comm after the word says rash anyone who says the means the following is like a lion from the ripping apart of my son you extricated yourself because you said let's not kill him whoever says that says he doesn't know how to read words he can Lan he anyone who who reads the that means you Rose above D killing you're you don't know how a lane you don't know what a is really rash you know who reads the that way Tas now Tas you know where tus comes from was that's why it has an adus over rash he was given so when Hashem gave the Torah to MOS he told that when you get to the explain it in the way that thinks only will explain it that's say Anyone who reads the like so what's talk how could he just dismiss dismiss dismiss the answer is very simple there are many levels of understanding there's there's RZ there's there's says the is means the G why is that the that's why you have to know how to live your life that's he says it many times fine and when the gamar says something when R says something it's Dr it's it's the main T but it's notat is not the main but if you're a reine you can't use the the methodology of has been closed with if you're if you're aash you can't say the that the gar says anybody can say there sh there 600,000 but the J of the gar is sealed is closed so who in the times of the contemporaries of the rash what are they trying to do they're trying to shine a light on the p and sayat now how many explanations areat there's only one there many interpretations and they're all legitimate and you get for learning all of them but it's not there's only one that's why you could have a ran the ran can ask an Rashi 10 questions and say rashi's wrong rashi's wrong rashi's calling the medish the answer is ramban doesn't mean rashi's wrong he just means rashi's notat the rasham feels that the barometer of what is is something that does not cause any difficulty in the reading of the text I but maybe we have a tradition from har that's that that's not what it means you're right it might not what it means on the level of it might not even be the reading of the but there is something called that means every PK has a certain basic reading that the rashbam feels is different sometimes in rashi rashi will sometimes be inclined to say an explanation which borderlines jush and Rashi feels that's good enough forat Raj Says Z I don't think that's good enough forat I think is even simpler I think is y's Brothers never sold him yeah but the brings down brings down they did sell him okay maybe they sold him but in terms of learning in the simple meaning of the apost simple reading of the is the brothers into it it's not means just use your and your SE will be governed by the context of theim the context of other the the grammar now you're going to start saying well okay so I'll give you I'll give you another example I'll give you a few examples and then we'll close she went to seek out says Rash where did she go number 31 shame she went to Sham Yesa says what sham Yesa we in the does it say that shame had Yesa that's not it's not on the map it's not on the map yeah but it but that's what the gamorra says yeah the gamorra got it from her and Hashem told us but it's not in the P you know what in the PK is he went to a navi which Navi we have no idea in other words there's only one comment which is called says you know what is we can't identify Where She Went as a b sh we we will identify it as some nvi that we don't know who he is that's you want to know B matter of Shame you want to know we don't know exactly where I'll give you another example this week's para he found the man says rash Gabriel why cuz elsewhere it says is Gabriel rash says what you making a yeah you ever have you ever have a between you could but who would win situation soak has a piece on this and how each one is true on different levels of reality I I'll I'll elaborate after year okay so in other words for example I could say something to you and there's something that I'm saying and there's something I'm thinking and there's something I'm insinuating and there's something that I wish I would have said and each one is reflecting another aspect of reality they're all true what do means there is a literal interpret in other words when you learn you should learn you should learn in steps that means the first thing you need to do is the says she went to seek so that means would say the first interpretation you should say is she went to AI we don't know who she was we don't know who it was that's now you want to say is however the it or another example just very briefly sees two men fighting Rashi identifies these two men throughout as right because you make a heish later on but that's not is two guys who are they is we don't really care who they are so ra rashbam said to rashi rashi I feel that since what your manra you should not have been so inclined to allow jush to creep into your commentary so what did Rashi hold I very much feel that it would be a misrepresentation to leave you off thinking yeah Rashi told rasham you're right I made a mistake I really should have wrote what you wrote and my whole Rashi it's really you know a subpar job I don't think he could say such a thing I don't think it's true I think Rashi argued on the rash I'm going to tell you over there's a tube in the RAS say it very quickly the RAS has a on okay he wants to know why is it why is you have to search for it you don't have to search for you have to burn it you don't have to burn it's you have to be it you have to uh you can't see it on P you can't find it there's so many of that don't apply by any other in the so says maybe this maybe that maybe that and he finally says you know I don't know it must be is a to thear is the worst thing in the world that's why you have to utterly obliterate says you know you see from the the is a a he's not a so he's asking why is and he can't come up with any reason other than to say is a what do you mean he's not not the he's a what's he bringing in says the sometimes when there's no the remes is promoted toat the remes becomes theat the J becomes if that's the best you got then the best explanation is upgraded to I believe Rashi would say to rasham that some of your comments which you feel may fit the text and the grammar and the Tam mikra it's better to say something which borders the jush and upgrade it toat in other words actually feel that's the best we got and therefore it is J but sometimes the jush would be the that's what I think okay says in the mid there are many levels of Torah the Torah is like a body with a cloak the body of Torah are the the soul of T are the secrets are the that's the of t t is compared to water is compared to wine that the the main body of to the is like water the secrets of T is compared to Y right Y and have the same G says the like this you know some people say I only do I leave the to Big I don't do I only doat says yeah you're such a bigat guy if you're so into we're going to rearrange the words sh you're a you're just a fool you're so in you can't you can't expand your horizons at all to see some other things to see D to see REM to see you're sh you're just a fool if you're soone what about somebody tipes right thank you tip yeah tip even better you're right says what about somebody says I don't believe inide I don't believe inside I'm I'm remes I'm then says you're a parad a farad if you take out the says you can't be such a stickler only for you got to expand your horizons so the is focusing on the latter half of the word Paradise right if you're just into you're a tipes if you're if you're not into s you're a farad today let's go the other way a little bit what about somebody says I'm not into I'm just into the other stuff see you could play the same trick you take out the pay you're get daras you're you're you're trampling on that somebody he just does rim he just does soise he's uh he's topheavy he's not stable you need stability it has to be you need you need R an orchard an orchard needs all parts so you have to make sure you don't take out any of the oyers they're all important and the liod is everybody in liod you always have to expand your horizons don't just be a stickler for what you do now there are many ways to expand your horizons you could EXP your right you could dabble in the remes and the D and so forth you could Venture further but what we learned from the rashbam is it doesn't always have to be further it could be what's right in front of your eyes Rashi the words of Rashi thead itself there's there's yeah I know Rashi already you know how many there are on rash there there at least two dozen pushim just on Rashi why did Rashi say what does Rashi mean why what why I knew that on my own the already says just there's a concept from the that we see there you know you could expand your horizons with what you know already you know you know I know that you how to read the you see reads the p in a way we never would have according to the meaning of the brothers never sold him so let's end off with something very interesting but on the other extreme Rashi not only even though he says we have a tradition that Rashi fasted 613 before he wrote his par why so R said rash I could have done the same thing rash never I can never come close to brings down and the every word of Rashi is s cabala every single word of Rashi is cabala in fact he brings down the brings down from a great M that he went to the Kev of Rashi and he fasted and he made Sig until Rashi was Malala to him a number 44 Rashi on this week's par rash is very interesting rash says what in the world is Rashi talking about says this Rashi is and if you want to know what they are you could go to rashi's k you could fast you could afflict yourself maybe he'll tell you also he told that's the only that's the only answer but one last thing after Rashi passed way Rashi came back to the rashbam said rashbam I taught you everything except for one thing there's one shame of Hashem I didn't teach you you're so I didn't teach it to you do me a favor I'm going to tell you now go clean yourself off wash yourself off I'm going to tell you the shame and says rasham learned from Rashi he couldn't see Rashi but he felt Rashi that's what says look at the great kadash while he was alive he didn't want to teach the rash this shame you know why he wasn't sure if he had but once he got up to Shay he asked permission and then he was able to come downstairs to this world and teach rashbam the one thing he didn't learn so would Rashi agree to the rashbam that yeah you're right I would have wrote other commentaries sure if Rashi would have lived a million years he would have wrote a million commentaries but he never would have wrote a different commentary in place of Rashi what Rashi wrote as Rashi is what Rashi feels is this is rash's concept of the rash has his concept of we should be to learn you've just
