Parshas Vayishlach: The Incident That Shook the World

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com everyone the klea um today we're going to talk a little bit about one of the all-time greatest iett Janis and ibett lived from 1690 to 1764 and uh if one would look at a list of all the that IIT wrote in his lifetime you come out with probably more than 50 different that wrote so one would imagine then that a man who wrote so many You' uh you'd imagine somebody who uh was confined to his he sat in a room in a dark room with piles of books over his head he was some kind of secluded recluse but rishes was the exact opposite he was one of the most colorful personalities and history I mean he had so many different variety variety of acquaintances from priests to missionaries to um to uh the reform to and he debated with Christians and with reform and with Moses Menon and with sedans and he was really one of the most colorful uh personalities of all time but also one of the greatest marit TOA even by the account of his detractors he had probably more than 24,000 students in his lifetime he had more than 24,000 and if you were a r in the times of and IIT chances are he was your rebi chances are he was your R around the corner from from you yeah well no that that goes without saying yeah so um he wrote many many far he was a rashash he was the r of Prague he was a master Daran and he's also what we call a master porer p o r g e r what's a porer it's an English word that is completely Antiquated and I don't think anybody knows what it means por means a man someone who takes out the GHA yeah he knew how to take out the Gan now they you go to they're not taking out the they're removing the whole hind quarters because exactly the that's y from the G and anything near there so you don't get confused it's a lost art but was an expert in removing the precise I think they do that in Israel perhaps I think they do but um we don't just take out the G we take out the that that the G is rning from okay now the whole prohibition of G is a very mysterious a very mystical because the T never says don't eat it the Tyra in what we call narrative form T tells you a story that the Mal was wrestling with and the dislocates the hip socket of and then the says right therefore we don't do it right that may just mean like a a custom something we refrain from but no we know our tradition is it's aive it's aive in the that you were not allow to do it but yet the Torah doesn't write it like that it's written in narrative it's written in a story form okay the whole of is very mystical and that is because writes we know how many lav are there in the 365 LA and we have 365 days a year and the is of corresponds to which day of the year and that's why brings us down in the says that when Mia comes that we no longer have it will be permitted to eat the get and that is why the earlier the early seans were mid to eat yeah the Early seans B went out of their way to eat the sciatic nerve because they held that mashiah had come and therefore they held and they so you have to understand the background of what we're going to talk about the whole is of GHA is very mysterious very mystical and we're going to learn about an that happened in history that shook the entire world literally shook the world okay okay you ready this is ready in my times there was a certain por he was he was an expert by the way himself was a very big expert in as himself writes that you know one of the who lived in the times of the his name was printed in 1750 you have in your sheets nfas I forgot to write what year it was could put in 1750 he published a safer of taking the and who does he go to to get to get an approbation other than and says you know why they're coming to me for look at number they came to me to get because I'm an expert in this field I'm a big expert I'm proficient I know the exact names of what the various parts are ver right so is saying that I'm the expert on the field I looked at what spoke to him face to face I went to the butcher with him and I saw that you know he knows what he's talking about there are no mistakes so is rash Das and expert man so you ready back to number one so this PO comes to he says not only is he he's an expert the only thing is he's he's a little crumb you know why he comes into the town he says I want everyone to know that every single from in this town is eating tus because you think you know what to get is you're all wrong you got the wrong GID it's a different GID this PO came in he said you your parents your grandparents they're all they're all yeah worse right they're all so how come he said that he knows everything now this is this is what this Mana is telling in Prague and he comes to the city of Prague and this Mana who was well known he was a big and he was an expert and he's saying you're all wrong you're all eating B not only did he go to Prague he went throughout Germany he created tremendous commotion tremendous stir until he comes to prag he came to me and he came before all the of the city of Frank I investigated and this man doesn't know what he's talking about because the don't care [Music] about the first thing I realized is that this nerve this nerve that he had the nerve to claim is not the right he said excuse me he said this nerve is a i recognize that this nerve is a nerve that only exists in male animals and does not exist in female animals okay so again he is identifying this wants to identify that the correct only exists in male animals and not on female animals says but I showed him the one I show this man that the exists in both male animals and female animals you hear this this guy claimed he got the right good showed him the that the is a g is a nerve that app that exists in male and female animals and this GID that he's talking m is only in males says did I get him I silenced all of his ESS I silenced all of his accusations and he went away you know he went away Allen all downtrodden he was slugged up I slugged him up and that quieted the whole rash May him do not rely on a por girl unless he's proficient and he's guard feel fearing that I myself learned the ofing I didn't trust anybody the day that I learned the I ain't eating from you know the of prag no way I would only eat the food not not from my wife's kitchen I didn't even trust her I had to take out the veins myself I would only eat my own handiwork it's a good thing we got rid of this por you know he was going to create this big stir but I shugged him up how did iug him up he wanted to say that the is a that only is but the SM says that it's both and what is controversy it's a matter butchering yeah it's just uh matter yeah but what if the butcher serves you pig butcher you know what what if the what if the butcher instead of serving you roast beef serves you ham it's just butchering yeah but he's butchering your Nish right wait wait that's if you don't take out the correct GID then you're you're violating a love just Train The Butchers to take out the correct kid but that that's the question at hand the question at hand is what is the correct good for centuries the Jews were taking out one vein and this porer came to the city and said you're taking at the wrong vein you should be taking at a different vein and you're all eating tarus all right so forget this but uh but everybody but anybody in business should be able to yeah but that was the question the question is we need to be able we need to identify we need to it's a very big deal we need to identify what the correct vein is if we don't have if we don't have the right vein people are going to be eating tarus you know people are going to be eating taras so this is how R and iish has slugged up the porer the problem is that this por por is a man a deer yeah it's an Antiquated word p o r g e r a por t o r g e r a triber let's say we'll say triber what do you say slug up of created more controversy than the man himself you know why cuz you could open up the smag and the smag does not say one word that the G is in the male and not female anim doesn't doesn't say anything like that so that's Ence right sat number two even if he did say that which he doesn't you know what he would probably mean what he would mean is you know who's now men and women he doesn't mean the exists only in male animals not Fe by every single the a man can't eat a woman can e men can eat women can eat it means is found in men and in women but we haveit we have like Cheerios embedded inside of us doesn't mean that the exists by male animals and female animals means that men and women are not allowed to eat to get so this yeah but he says by every not every how you said this to very interesting very it's very interesting there is a there's a saer called look at number four which was published in 1809 and it's a biography ofin was known affectionately known as and he's the younger brother of and this is a biography written by writes a biography about the younger brother of but it's more of an autobiography about himself and he said says an idea that the reform movement jumped on and embraced this paragraph like this was their this was their calling and he said like this even though he was a tremendous he writes look are human they're human they could make mistakes he writes okay how do we know look at he says quoted a SM that doesn't exist and even if it did exist that's not what it means so what do we see from here that we have to be to them we have to cling to them we have to ask them their advice we need to get their D but it doesn't mean they're infallible doesn't mean they can't make a mistake so what we learned from here is if those of us who are not good is certainly we always have to be worried maybe we're making a mistake and therefore we always have to ask the advice of other people this is what the to writes and you'll say glad what do you bringing this into the it's likeus it's printed in on your regular page in brings down this and that's what he writes are not infallible he quotes word for word what we're about to read where we say that this said where he say that what this where he said the pointed to that was he that that's what R is is writing that I recognize that this vein that this man identified is a vein that only exists in male animals and not in female animals and I disproved him by but he didn't say that this vak no the vak just said this is the vein it's called the you know the left anterior vein and says the left interior vein is a vein that only exists in male animals and not female animals and the fact that this he was shutting it mean that he didn't understand at all you mean if should slugged him up from something that doesn't exist that CH the guy was a complete yeah because he should fight him tell this this said yeah they later on they this as their calling car you see even gum say G can make but I see what you me hey you'll see you'll read the piece you read the piece look with your own eyes Okay and then you'll see that you know this is something that's brought down on the page brings it down look at number [Music] four let us turn our hearts let's try to investigate this SM is quoting writes about the laws of says I look there find the man doesn't say a word about male and female animals we have this many times in a lot of let's see let's let's see let's see so he said maybe it's not the SM maybe where re meant was the smack you know there little we went to investigate and to search because we said maybe there was you know a printing error and instead of SM smack was even there we didn't find any pieace no not one word about male and female animals mentioned in the smack either so therefore you know what he said he said let's look through all the what what the T said what the what is the the Torah so what's the we don't know nothing by the way the Torah doesn't say anything about is like it doesn't say anything about who's not how to do it why you're not how to do it when you're not how to do it what animals be men doesn't say anything it's all so we have to look in it's it's he says like this I searched and I searched and I searched as they came so they went I didn't find anything nobody nobody the truth let the truth stand by itself you know what must have meant he must have look at number six you know what this right even in you can't eat it even when there's no you can't eat need it male and female you know what was what means is this exists in male animals and female animals who say that that's what must have when he says it what what mean must mean ACC must have thought what the meant was male animals have it female animals have it but says what a terrible mistake made why this is a very grave mistake what the means is that men and women can't eat the had a different thought than what the that's not what everybody knows that anybody who ever opened up the knows that by every single he writes right the writes you know don't e means that men and women are TR it means men and women can't eat TR so the doesn't mean this GID is in male and female animals what the means is men and women can't eat the animal he says what do we do with this now that he's proven that at least he thinks made a mistake so how do we deal with that how how does we we'll see don't worry how do we deal with that says the point is not no I don't have to listen to G the point is you have to listen to G why because if even they could make a mistake then you can make a mistake and he can also make a mistake well we'll have to see right by the way he he was a Goda he doesn't come to the we'll have to see we'll have to started on that I have to see if these Giants were caught on the fish hooks of mistake so what could we little goldfish say therefore a person should embrace the statement of right you should accept the truth from whoever said it right should lead us in the true path now I have to tell you give you a disclaimer I would never bring such a or even say over privately it's not for the fact that it's published on every single anybody any whoever opens up the learns one of the brings this downward for word he qu it he quotes a word for word I'll show you look at number five look at number five right was I believe his last name was uh eat but um I don't have more details than that he's one of the he writes on the sixth line over was years ago before no no after no it's after look he writes look if the T wrote the biography of the younger brother of so so he saying was in the mid 1800s what no it's published 199 a whole laundry list of mistakes that were made and he counts this and he's showing everyone can make a mistake right since was wrong and he just pushes away where Reen said it comes out to the if you want to eat an animal you need to take out what they thought the G was for hundreds of years and what the said the because says is wrong so the says you got to take out both got to take out both okay so now what we would like to do is we have to stick up for the cover didn't tell was 174 and then 50 years later when people are looking into the matter learning the Cy those in his days they they didn't look at it if he writes it says in the smug it sounds like they took his word for it you start looking up the smug okay go get the smug so how many people are going to get up and get it maybe one person and that person who gets again he's going to be looking I can't find it and even the one in the middle that mistake what a person like like cannot make a mistake okay what do you mean take AC not AC okay so let's see what do you mean take out both you only one is correct only but we're not so is not willing to to completely say was wrong in terms of the location of the G he just saying that the schug up of the man is not correct so therefore we have to be for both opinions we have to be for the the we have to be for the we have to take out both of them okay there's no good according to the man yeah but R says there is a good there is a but in a male animal you'd have to take out both okay so who comes to the supporter of none other than theer and theer very courageously tries to defend his colleague rishit and he gives a PP to defend R and this chuva was written in 1830 so again this is uh 66 years after has passed away okay so he gets like this I got your volume I'm going to answer both of your questions number one right he brings down the whole story about how this poor girl made a whole earthquake and then few lines down says many people wonder how such a terrible mistake could emerge from this going I now by the way as in esteem that that the greatest compliment the ever gave was to calls he says he's a Nai but he does say yeah he's but besides saying that he says anyway says how could aot like make a mistake why says look we can't we can't you know hide our head in the sand this doesn't mean what says in them right now it's very interesting is sort of taking for granted that the smug says it and he's saying what the smug means is that men and women are allow to eat the get the only thing is smack doesn't say it could have said much better there is no such smack there is no such SM but people are we're going to see people are what are you telling me that the smack doesn't say what said this SM doesn't say anything so we'll see from we'll see maybe says what we'll appes we'll see the and together with all made this error was right on how is right on so listen to this purple you ready what the means is men can't eat the women can't eat the me ask you a question the says that eat the so how does the SM know that women are to eat the why don't we so what kind of is that we never yes sometimes they do for example what do we why do we have a right says whenever you have have a logic to differentiate between men and women then [Music] you I have a very compelling logic to but the always talk about right but this is only particular it always means men and women but if you have a compelling say why it should only be the men and not the women then you have a right to say men and not women like says let me tell you what my compelling logic to say that should only be for men and not women you know what the compelling logic is because the giha is only in male animals and not female animals isn't that a logic to say if the ganha is only in men male animals and not female animals isn't that a compelling logic to say that the prohibition of getting is only to men and not to women no says yes if if the is a is a nerve that only exists in male animals and not female animals isn't that a compelling logic to Daran that only men are now to eat and not female so if the SM says women are not allowed to eat G it must mean that g is in female animals wow wow that's logic that's what meant understand didn't misread the SM the SM [Music] says it doesn't mean it exists in female animals it means women can't eat it but if women can't eat it then the nerve has to exist in female animals why again why another is saying like this that if the tah says Ben you have a right to say benos if you have a reason to differentiate between Ben and benos says I have a reason to differentiate between B and BOS why cuz maybe since the G only exists in male animals and not female animals maybe only men are all to eat it and females are allowed to eat it it must be if females are not allowed to eat G it must be it's because the G exists in female animals in is very in other words when this the is not saying the SM says that it exists in female animals what what was deriving from the SM was that a females can't eat it it must mean the nerve exist in female animals what is Al yeah because it it happened because what you why because it's something which St to both of them that's right that's exactly correct well okay the p is because the Mal dislocated hiet of yob so therefore B is can't eat it so you want to say if you want to take this to the end degree then you would say y was a male right so therefore you only do it for male just like the you know okay so what are you going to do with that I hear that I hear that what are you going to do with that so now what because it applies to females yeah that's what you say because it applies to female so the shows that that that the fact that that it was yo yeah result also because shows that you have you have to take a little bit further yeah you're extending what he's saying but look look what he says let's read this inside and by the way this is a major pill you know IIT only wres he showed him the smog the smog doesn't say anything about whether the female has the get but if the SM says women can't eat it now you have to make a whole P you have to say a whole bris with to explain what he means this if females not eat it it must mean that females have it because otherwise we would dar that's not says but this is attempt to defend what he calls how let's read inside surrend so we have to see but is this what he showed him this is defense yeah said this people by himself no so saying this is what this whole P look what he writes one look what he writes 1 2 34 the F Fifth Line in the second paragraph of number seven excuse me let's start from the to since we hold everywhere it's right we have are women allowed to do on an animal no or they not allowed to but everybody agrees they don't have to so why don't we say the same thing for only men are women are allowed to right no we only but then he says it's not true sometimes we [Music] like you know when we when we have so look in the last paragraph that sorry you're gonna say not exist by female animals then you would have a logic so how could the right ah so it must be that the fact that the smack says women are not eat it must be that this is a g that exists by women and that's how the slugged up the POR comes along in the which was published 1852 and he says somebody asked me what is my opinion about what theer says understand something did the SM save or it didn't save well the the says if the SM says is not saying he saw the SM he just saying said he saw the SM but that's not what the SM means no we could Dre that that's what the SM means so muger writes number eight two lines from the about him that the was himlet you know what himlet means he came up with like a he excused he he wiggled out this D says muger that there is no way in a million years that is what meant to say that said one line to the and what he meant was a a says look in the next page the Top Line he's writing to his questioner that which you didn't like what said you're right you're not you can't explain an like such a a longwinded not speak you know if one thing you want to say that's what you know um that's what the R means but to say that's me doesn't make sense but says have a bigger I don't understand the whole rash I know is talking about the SM doesn't say it but maybe the SM had it in other words well what's the problem you have a question this SM doesn't say that that female animals have the good obviously addition of the SM it said that this is a g that applies in male and not female I what's the whole earthquake what's the whole rash you have a question oh that's not what the smug means yeah that's not what your SM means but if showed him a SM and the guy walked away you know for the last 10 years he's been you know staring around the The Butchers and then R shows him the smag and he walks away and he gives up obviously that's what the smug said where is the SM where is the book oh I don't know here SM had it he says like this is [Music] what the place is saying very good oh he says like this now let's read this he says I'll prove to you I'm in the first paragraph like seven lines down that says he doesn't mean men and women are now because if the SM men and women are now he wouldn't write he said how said in in all the other whenever you want to say men and women you say you is is is going on you know the the Z and the that's what how you talk about also what we're not we're talking about the you're right yeah but the that's yeah but um how he say is saying if that but look at how he talks he say he talks to animals that they are Jews yeah but um is saying that's not that's not what the SM means that's not what means the fact that he uses it means male animals and females like what when you took about the obligations of of women it's is or not and and also the lotion of n n is something that's applicable because if you want to say men and women are not allowed to do something you would say not means it exists and whenever sh writes it's going on on K it's going on the the beema the only thing is way that's no not Lear like that saying mean men and and women are now to eat it but if women are now to eat it it must be because it exists in using that let's go through this we have very little time let's go through this but says the only thing is I check the SM I check the smack that's not what it says and also and also that's not how how the SM writes he doesn't usually write like that so el el it must have been a printing error and instead of the SM or the smack it must have said the the only thing is that everybody knows whenever he says means men and women are now e and therefore we're back to the he leaves that there's no way there's no way first of all that means what says and he says the whole logic of the he disagrees with because if the is correct that even by you then you know we should say women should be allowed to be after all what does it say by shabas it says and have a very compelling to say that's you know what this far is why are women why do women have but it's Grandma because since they they're now a desecrate says say pink say it's just the opposite say just like their from they should be from why that's a that's a no the only thing we know for sure no that's very compelling very compelling because how do we know because how do we know or lav no but not this La this La should be different this La should be different why should this La be different because it says b the lav of they the other things that we say there yeah you know what the logic is here so I'll tell you very strong Logic the logic is very strong they're put it's a he the same way you want to use a heish and say they're they should be I say just the opposite they're they should be so therefore we have a logic to say women are so why don't we that is because we never never said this it's not true he never said no that's the only SM is the one that talks about G what about other show him don't talk about it the the nobody talks about let's finish up let's finish up here yeah you heard him didn't he write it or what this is his handwriting over here yeah I love says look he says so says he doesn't believe a Samer could say such a thing but he defends from another proof how because he says like this I don't have it 100% but you ready what he says there's a there's a mish in that says like this you're allow to send an animal you're allow to send an animal through a GU I but maybe he won't take out the good no you'll be able to recognize if he took out the good or not cuz the says you could recognize if the G is there or if it's not there and if it's not there in other words if it's there you'll know it's there and if it's not there you know it's taken out you don't have to worry it's recognizable he says according [Music] to that the doesn't exist inik according to the man that it doesn't exist in n so what's the talking about but maybe he'll maybe he'll bring a female animal and my fale doesn't exist so you won't know so you'll never how could you say mik but a female animal doesn't have a and don't tell me you could recognize between the the piece of so people are be be either yes or so it must mean you'll never confuse the why because they both have the okay you'll think about that R But ultimately he does not agree with with this CH printed from he says he can't understand this he gave a good the only thing is that's said pointed from the SM not from this he gave a good RI for the of but not to defend what told them can you say again in other words you want to read it yeah how we say that understand here look in the bottom paragraph in how we going to answer the prevalent custom that we only take out the good that has been taken out for centuries and we don't give any Credence to this Drew forth this nugget this diamond against his adversary from the fact that this adversary said that the G does not apply by female animals what's the proof that it does apply if you look in you could send the thigh to a but maybe he's going to be aw we're not afraid he's going to bring this to a Jew the Jew is going to see it right away a boy knows how to take the No No in other words you can give meat to a guy without taking out the G and you don't have to worry he's going to serve it to a Jew for supper why because if a Jew sees it on his dinner plate he'll just take out the G would you recognize a g if it was on your PL me that's a personal question EXC what we don't we don't we don't uh I told you we don't um we don't go anywhere near the nowadays just take the whole the whole says it will be recognizable that the g wasn't taken out you don't have to worry so question what do you mean it's recognizable how be what if you have a a female animal it's not going to be recognizable that it's there cuz it's not there so if it's not going to be there question is if you're going to see a piece something on your on your plate and there's not going to be a g there so what are you going to do but who said that what mean said the the said thata doesn't have a okay let let's finish up over yeah in 1930 there was a rabbi in ch in Los Angeles by the name of and he was aarm collector son of aarm collector he collected and M and he lived in Los Angeles and he collected early editions and first editions of s and he happened to have the handwritten he happened to have excuse me the first edition of the C okay published in the 1700s and Not only was it the first edition of the C placy it was the first edition of the C placey that was owned by none other than rishit and rishit after he bought his own safer wrote footnotes on the saer and when he got to the line that I showed the Mana the smile crossed out the word and he wrote which stands for which is something that was printed in the Torah and if you look in the tour it says so if you look in R's addition of the himself crosses after word which was a printting mistake and he WR and therefore was absolutely correct he showed the POR that the that the exists in male and female he never wrote the so the whole and all the dozens of that defend are not necessary because it was all a printing mistake so why could they find it because they didn't didn't they had better things to do with their time than to collect so he they write look over here one two says he checked all the places yeah he did he did check all the places and where does this Rabbi he checked the first edition of the crazyy and and and there's only one copy of that sa and what does it say we're not even finished yet look on the eth line in number 10 the you know the brings down there was a journal called no they didn't have they didn't have the early edition of the crazy Place corrected by himself look was published Ines gim this was published in 1763 they was the handwritten amend of crosses out the word he crosses out you look over [Music] there the problem no one ever checked the SM because in the SM it doesn't say anything at all about applying by males and females says I don't buy this I don't buy this right that's what R showed the s hanik s hanik is a very obscure saer it's not a saer that you know we always like that's how we slugged here you have a guy he's creating a tremendous imagine somebody comes in and says I want everyone to know that um that all the meat that we're eating is tra and nobody knows how to answer none know how to answer so what do I do I take out you know one of these set that they give out in the shes yeah and I show yeah but it says over here in some guy's translation of the art scroll that you know you're wrong so guy the guy's going to go away because he showed from you know the weekly Torah whatever on some kind of handout that you read by the laning this guy who's been working his whole life to create a rash you're going to slug him up so says that's that's not what uh that's not what RIS used but that's what ranis wrote Because you anyone here could see the handwritten edition of ran is crazy place he wrote says let me tell you in Angeles he doesn't know how to read handwriting he thought that the S hey it's but it's really s gim and really it stands for this is a much better change than what is
