okay good evening everyone we have a very we have a historic share tonight welcome everybody tonight's sh we're continuing the are generously sponsored by Dr Z whose yard side was tonight Che is dedicated by my dear friend R ABI rabi tman in honor of his father's yard site which is this evening tonight be family tonight sh is also dedicated anonymously by my friend in is okay we have very good news first of all if you don't have your ha yet it's available right here in English uh it it came out last year but even if you got it last year you probably lost it already so it's available again over here and uh if you want to get a safer on and P it's also available it was republished today in AR Israel it's on the plane so uh some more copies are on its way okay we have a very important share tonight usually we speak about in we speak about the par we speak about up I think this is the first time I'm giving a Shear on the topic of a solar eclipse or any type of eclipse in general we know that upcoming April 8th Ares Nissan on Monday there's going to be a solar eclipse starting in Mexico making its way North through the United States and into Canada so there's going to be totality Over Texas Arkansas Kentucky Indiana Pennsylvania Vermont Maine and in New York you could go to Syracuse you could go to Buffalo where else could you go you could go to Rochester Lake Placid people Lake Placid okay there you go Lake Placid and in Canada there you could see the entire Eclipse but even in New York City you're going to be able to see a good chunk of the eclipse it's going to get somewhat dark for about 2 hours and the question is what does this mean for us what does it mean for the world does it have any meaning is it just a regular natural phenomenon is it like a sunny day a cloudy day a rainy day we don't usually make much of rainy days or cloudy days even though the truth is if we would study the gamarra all of these natural phenomenon have meaning the gamar says that on a rainy day business always prospers so if you wanted to invest money the gamar says invest on a rainy day now I never did an actual study on of the stock market how it does on rainy days versus sunny days you know someone out there maybe make a study study the the uh correlation between precipitation humidity and the stock market but the gumar says when it rains B business prospers period the says even money mean not just your farm will prosper the money in your pocket will prosper but the thing is that these phenomenon here in New York it rains almost every day like nine out of 10 days it rains right so we don't really make much of it but when we have a solar eclipse which is somewhat of a rare or unique phenomenon so uh the question is doesn't mean anything is it ominous is it something we should be concerned about something we should think about so let's begin with the gar in an amazing says we have to learn when the sun is struck is stricken now what exactly does that mean says it's a bad Omen for the entire world what is this analogous to it's like a king of Flesh and Blood he makes a party for his subjects and he uh lights it up he puts a lantern out he got angry at them and he says to his attendant take the lantern away and put them in darkness basically the world's a party it's a big party God gives us food unlimited food three meals a day water the whole day you could drink water it's a big party you could breathe all day long there's no all you could all you could breathe you know some people they go to restant all you could eat God put us in a restaurant all you could breathe there's no cap on oxygen and it's free and he lights it up for us he he makes spectacular lighting but if he turns off the light it means that he's he's angry at us now I would infer from this gamar that if the analogy is a king who makes a party for his servants that maybe it's only a bad Omen for his servants but what if you're not a servant of the king what if you're you're the king's child then maybe it's not a bad Omen in fact comes rer and rer said eclipse is only a bad sign for the Jews the opposite of what you would have thought not Jews the enemies okay you didn't get me though because when the says it's a euphemism euphemism is you say a blind person he has a lot of light it's it's a curse to the Jewish people but because we don't want to say it we say to the enemy of the Jewish people but it means to the Jewish people so mayor says that uh when the when the when the sun eclipses it is a bad sign for the enemy of the Jewish people mean for the Jewish people why because we're used to punishment the Jewish people are more accustom to punishment than the rest of the world and thear says what is it analogous to it's analogous to the rebi back in the day now days rabim can't even look at the Tam but back in the days the rabim not only could look at the Tam they could whack the tell them okay and the revi would come in with his paddle when the revi comes in with his paddle who gets nervous the you know the teacher's pet it's the kid who gets hit every day he's the one who starts getting nervous so too who is more accustomed to punishment the Jewish people because go because God loves us and he wants our perfection so he holds us more accountable we're the ones who have to take the omen of eclipse and therefore the gar says according to a solar eclipse is a bad sign for the Jewish people fine the continues when the sun eclipses it's a bad sign for the Gentiles because the Gentiles follow the solar calendar the Moon eclipses it's a bad sign for the Jews because the Jews go by the moon and the Gentiles go by the sun I would have thought if it's if it's a solar eclipse it should be a bad sign for the Christians if it's a lunar eclipse it should bad be a bad sign for the Muslims cuz actually we don't only go by the the moon it's not even uh we mainly go by the moon we just have to adjust it with the Sun but anyway the gumar feels that primarily the Jewish people go by the moon and therefore a lunar eclipse is a bad sign for the Jewish people the solar eclipse is a bad sign for the uh Gentiles then the gumar says yeah so the T in the beginning he said yeah so the gamar is making somewhat self-contradictory statements the gamar starts off by saying that the solar eclipse is a bad sign for the whole world mayor says it's only a bad sign for the Jewish people now the gar brings an opinion it's only a bad sign for the Gentiles right so the gar has made many different statements they don't seem to be consistent with each other then the gar says if the if the eclipse if the sun eclipses in the east in other words in New York the eclipse is going to be what like between 2 and 4 something like that so if the sun eclipse is in the east it's a bad sign for those who live in the east of the world if it eclipses in the west if the eclipse is when the sun is at at full height it's a bad sign for the whole world now anybody know what's the Sun going to look like on Monday during the eclipse is it going to be bloody is it going to be gray so pun of if it looks bloody war will come to the world if it's gray hunger will come to the world if it's bloody and gray then war and famine will come to the world the gamar says if it eclipses close to Sunset that means the punishment will be delayed if it if it eclipses near Sunrise then the punishment will come hastily some say just the opposite because if it's going to Eclipse near sunet that means the sun is about to set if it's it's going to Eclipse by Sunrise there's more time okay says the gamar and whenever Hashem punishes one of the nations of the world he punishes their along with it but says the when the Jewish people do the will of God then we have nothing to worry about we have nothing to be afraid of this is only a problem the eclipse only has an ominous meaning if we're not fulfilling because thek says says don't learn the ways of the Gentiles do not be afraid of the signs of the heavens the way the Gentiles are afraid so the gar seems to say that if we're doing what we're supposed to do we have nothing to worry about we're observing the T we're keeping the Mitzvah we come to ding on time we leave our phone at home we don't talk by daving we make sure to learn consistently we don't speak we guard our eyes we do everything we need to do then we could ignore any signals now here's the big Whopper here's the bombshell there four sins that cause a solar eclipse and again solar eclipse means bad news Bloodshed famine it's a Simon ra maybe to the whole world or only to the Jewish people here are the four sins if the head of the Jewish Court passes away and he's not eulogized properly you have a great God Isel he passes away and he's not given the proper K this is a major major offense this could cause a solar eclipse number two you have a young girl she's wed someone abuses her someone coerces her she cries out and nobody comes to her aid number three and or two brothers who are murdered together very unusual set of sins that cause solar eclipse a chief of the bezin that wasn't eulogized properly a woman who is violated mishab zakar and two brothers who are murdered simultaneously comes rashi rashi who makes tens of thousands of comments on CH Rashi who always knows the answer to everything says Rashi no idea why beats me no idea yeah now Rashi doesn't say he said I didn't even hear anything about it that's unusual rash I didn't hear a reason for this for the four the four for any of these four things so Rashi does not offer us any insight Rashi could have you know said well because you know I was thinking all of these four things are sort of a very callous and unnatural type of sin where here you have the the leader of the generation passes away and nobody could eulogize him properly you know I understand you don't like your Rabbi when he's alive but he's dead you know people don't like living rabbis you know people but when they're dead everybody loves the rabbi so he's the the rabbi died so even now you have nothing good to say about him it's like unnatural you don't like him because you went you went for Shalom bayas and he sided with your wife or you had a cord case with somebody and he saw with the other guy or you know he once told you off okay but he's not alive anymore everybody loves dead rabbis n very unnatural or here you have a girl she she just got married to somebody and she's immediately abused and nobody could stand up for her or Mish Zar or it's one thing murder but for two brothers to be murdered simultaneously that's such a callous cruel thing but Rashi doesn't even attempt to give any explanation Rashi doesn't say because of these unnatural sins an unnatural thing happened that the sun was eclipsed R she says I don't know comes the mar and the mar says well maybe you could give a little bit of a reason we know was compared to the Sun and Yu was compared to the moon so we see that great are compared to the Sun so if you don't appreciate the tah leaders who are compared to the Sun Hashem will minimize the light of the Sun now let's talk about what is a solar eclipse the by the way if you want to come visit the Rama on the Rama's yard site which is you could join us to CR coming up very soon on the 33rd day of the we're going to be visiting the besides writing glasses on he wrote a about science and the B mikdash it's called and the ra says you know when we talk about a solar eclipse we we have to understand For a Moment by a solar eclipse what the gar calls it like nothing's happening to the sun something's happening to the sun is the sun minimized is the sun shining less the sun is doing what it does every single day the problem is that the moon got in the way so it's not like the sun was struck you see the the Rama says the moon when the moon is eclipsed something happens to the Moon the Moon usually reflects the light of the Sun so if the Earth gets in the way then the Moon is minimized because nothing shining on it Mas as opposed to the sun the sun is doing what it always does it's just that you can't see it so when you put on blindfold somebody turned out the lights the lights are still on you save your electricity bill is still going to be the same you're still going to get ripped off hundreds of dollars a month in the winter you didn't turn on the air conditioner how much that everything is Led it's still yeah but you know you're at their Mercy you have no idea why they're charging you this money but you think the flashing clock on your microwave is is $200 a month what are you supposed to do you're going to take them to court you're going to prove that the five clocks in your house don't cost $200 a month but but the electricity is still on just because you're not looking at it Sama points out that when you talk about the solar eclipse it's different than a lunar eclipse but here's the million dollar question the million-dollar question is and this question is articulated by many iov etlinger rasi the maral rakov risher the gamar is saying because of four sins it causes the the sun to Eclipse I don't understand this Eclipse was predicted 200 years ago in fact there's a chart that predicts every single Eclipse that ever was from the day God created the world until the end of time it's a natural phenomenon based on the movement of the Sun and based on the movement of all the the Earth and the moon there are eclipses every so often in fact you know the story goes I think I once told this over that this is printed in the introduction of a saer called sa of where Christopher Columbus when he discovered the new world he was captured by canals and they threatened they were going to eat him and they put him in a pot and they threw in some carrots and some celery and some matab balls no not mat balls and they were going to cook him and Christopher Columbus had with him the maritime charts of rabi abam zakut that predicted all of the eclipses and Christopher Columbus said if you don't remove me I will blot out the light of the Moon because there were supposed to be a very uh a a a lunar eclipse uh soon and sure enough you know he went did some Hocus Pocus and uh the Moon the Moon disappeared and the uh Native American Indians or whatever you're allowed to call them these days um they you know they were and they rescued him and they considered him a deity and they gave him you know a lot of corn I don't know what they gave him and uh this is printed in the so eclipses are predictable you say oh when the Sun rises that means when the Sun rises it doesn't mean anything it's it's programmed God programmed the world that the sun rises and sun sets he programmed the world that there solar eclipses they lunar eclipses how could you say oh because somebody well wait a you're telling me a rabbi passed away and if the person gives a good hpid there won't be an eclipse and because he didn't give a good hpid there was an eclipse there's going to be Eclipse whether he gave a good hpit or a bad hpit there's going to be Eclipse whether somebody helped the girl somebody didn't help a girl whether there is mish or there's not how could you blame How Could You hinge how could you say that the eclipse comes from these four sins these are natural predictable phenomenon that God programmed into the world and they're like clockwork I can tell you right now when the next eclipse is you're telling me I know it's going um it's going to be in Cleveland Ohio there's going to be uh to um totality right so you're saying but if there in Cleveland Ohio if they would make sure to give a good hpid then it's going to go straight from you know from Mexico to Rochester and and the state of Ohio is going to miss miss the eclipse yeah let's try that out you could look up right now I left it at home the path of totality they predict you know there people any motel in the path of totality you could have some Far der a place in uh in Kentucky you know they haven't nobody has gone to that Motel 6 and since they opened it up they left the light on for the guy the first day it's still on that light they that light is still on and they're you know they're paying $200 a month for that one light that they left on and now all of a sudden it was kada for them to build that Motel 6 50 years ago because from Williamsburg are going to Kentucky to see the the uh the solar eclipse but that's only if they don't give a good hpit if they were going to give a good hasid then now they're going to go there and uh they're going to miss the whole thing they're going to look up in the sky and they're just going to see a regular says he says that many people think that what we call an eclipse is what the gar is referring to when it says and because they interpret the gamar very literally so the says the youth mock the they say how could it be how could thear say that an eclipse is dependent on sin it's a natural predictable phenomenon by the way also says that those who are those who mock the words of kazal they they're they this is like Prime real estate for anybody who has problems with gamar this is where they're going you know for all the gamarra critics out there they've been waiting for this gamar their whole life because the gamar seems to be saying that an eclipse is some kind of Supernatural phenomenon when we know this is a physical uh predictable phenomenon this is a question that all the ask if you look in the uh look at number eight he says many many struggle to understand the meaning of this gar also the he says the eclipses are perforce they're programmed into the world they're predictable they're not going to change whether our behavior is good or bad so let's begin with the first approach approach number one says if you think when the talks about it's talking about the solar eclick and the path of totality n the gamar is not talking about solar eclipses the gamar is not talking about um the path of totality the of the what does mean the sun is struck you know what this is referring to says he says sunspots you know what sunspots are blotches on the Sun what is it it's a phenomenon you could look at the sun with a telescope you have to probably use a special lens and every so often the same way if you look at the sun there they're explosions they're constant explosions yeah hydrogen explosions there are sunspots and when there's a sunspot on that area the light of the sun is minimized does it make any difference to us in this world no we are so our our level of existence is so reduced that we cannot tell the difference between the minimal lessening of sunshine that is caused by a sunspot whether there is a spot or there's not a spot but in the ancient times where they were they were very connected to all physical phenomenon and they were very perceptive of physical phenomenon and they're very sensitive to physical phenomenon they could detect a difference in their life and in their quality of life when there's a sunspot or not you know how it is some days you feel good sometimes you don't feel great somebody once asked me why do we always say in why do we heal us as if we're always sick 365 days of a year we're sick why don't we ask Hashem Hashem give us good health because a Jew you know there's a headache a toothache some there's always something right you could always say we live on a reduced level of existence back in the day they were more perceptive to even minimal changes in physical phenomenon and the the eclipse that the gamar is talking about is sunspots what is the meaning of a solar eclipse as absolutely not doesn't mean anything it's like sunrise and sunset it's predictable if you could check it up if you could Google exactly when it will be where and how long and we could tell when it will be on Monday and the next time there'll be an eclipse and the next time then it does not have any ramification in uh in because this is not a supernatural phenomenon it is a physical phenomenon when the gar talks about it's talking about sunspots by the way in a rare occasion rakov also says that the gamar cannot be taken literally it's not referring to what we know as as an eclipse but rather it would seem that the gar is talking about some other kind of phenomenon where the sun itself is minimized by some kind of uh occurrence so this is the first opinion that what's happening on Monday has no bearing on our lives what what is its meaning absolutely nothing it's a gimmick to get people to go to a motel six in pcket Kentucky and to pay what's normally $43 a night $430 a night for a room that its light has been on since it was built okay so it means nothing according to raban comes the kades and the kades says you know this is not the first time we had such a question this is a question in God said I'm never going to bring a mble what's the sign I'm never going to bring a mble a rainbow a rainbow is a sign that God is angry at the world and really he was going to destroy the world and he's not because of the rainbow mask come on a rainbow is a sign that God really wants to destroy the world scientists could predict that if you have enough precipitation in the air and The Sun Shines and there's a certain Cloud you're going to see a rainbow it's a physical phenomenon it's predictable I could also make a rainbow you know when I was a kid you take a hose you shot you squirt it up in the air like in the angle of the Sun and you see a rainbow you make a br on that yeah come everyone come to my backyard soon as May comes I'm going to going to show everyone there's the rainbows in my backyard every single day you're saying that a rainbow is a sign that Hashem really wanted to destroy the world the rainbow is not a sonm wanted to destroy the world a rainbow is a physical phenomenon comes the shades and he says no you're making a big mistake the question is an erroneous question you ready for this the gamar tells us about a guy who was on your roof and you forgot to make it depends where you come from if you you know it depends where you learn you forgot to make a ma or a m whatever you want you forgot to make a fence so if you forget to make a fence so G says the Fallen one will fall off so gar asks why are we calling him a fallen one should say somebody might fall off SAR says no he was supposed to fall off when God created the world he ordained PL is going to fall off the roof so then why am I responsible for not making offense this guy was going to fall off anyway so why am I responsible what is it he was supposed to fall off but God was looking for a good Agent to bring about his will you pal are a good negligent agent you're a guilty person why am I a guilty why is he a guilty person cuz he was irresponsible by not making offense so God was a good Shad he Shaden the guy who was supposed to with a guy who is an eligible candidate to be a murderer so even though in other words any murderer someone who's a murderer why why why can't he say this is what the Germans said the Nazis claim this in the akman trial that why are they responsible but God decreed that the Jews should suffer they they right it's similar to the the rid the rivid says you know why were why were the MIM punished but Hashem decreed um that that they're going to afflict us for 400 years the answer is sayses God knew this person would fall but he AR and he knew this from the beginning of time but he arranged that Ploy who's guilty for not making a roof he should be the instrument to bring about the demise of this guy who fell off the roof it's the same thing with solar eclipse you know why there's a solar eclipse because we don't respect G because our society not the Gentile Society the Jewish Society is immoral because of mish so what do you mean but it was predicted we knew there was going to be an eclipse that's right God who created the world he knew there was going to be an eclipse at these times because he knew these times are times where the Jewish people are sinful yeah but we could predict that's great you know why you could predict cuz God could predict and he's the one who created the world and he set up these phenomenon that they occur like clockwork you know why he set it up for these times cuz he knew that these times there would be terrible sinful behavior of the Jewish people saying wait a second that means god knew we would sin at these times so doesn't it mean that we have to be we don't have a choice we have to be sinful says a that's the question is as old as the hills that's the question of how do we have free choice if God has forn knowledge so we human being doesn't have the capacity to understand how is it that God knows what we're going to do despite the fact that we have free choice whether to do it or not but once you could get around understanding that we're not able to understand how it's possible that God knows what we're going to do even though we have the choice whether to do it or not we can understand that yes a rainbow means God's angry with the world but what do he means a physical phenomenon yeah God created the physical phenomenon that it should be just at the times that were sinful and he would have destroyed the world that's the answer of the schah in that case Monday is a frightening day it's a scary day the gamar says that a solar eclipse is a criticism of the Jewish people could be of the whole world and it could be just us but what do you mean we predicted it we knew this was happening for 200 years yeah that's because God who created the world foresaw that there going to be times in history when we're not doing what we need to do we don't treat our leaders properly it's an immoral climate and it's a a murderous climate that's how the schah understands then the schl says something let's see if I could say the words you'll think about it tonight by the way if you ever have a hard time falling asleep one appr proven technique is you think about the shear and many people have told me that um you know somebody just said you know Reb GL scene I know a very old lady she's in her 90s and she listens to yir probably she has a hard time falling asleep at night and uh this really uh is a very effective way but but you'll think about this you'll tell me if you understand it the says that these physical phenomenon they impact the every day ordinary running of the physical world they make an imprint they have an impact they make AEM in our finances in our health in our well-being but that's only because we live in a world of sin but if we would be acting the way we should act then these phenomenon would have no impact on us at all now does that answer why they have an impact on us if they're if it's predict able beforehand and it's a physical phenomenon let me share with you one more approach and then I'm going to share with you the amazing approach of the maral of Prague and maybe on chabas you could come to shalas at 5:30 Peninsula and we're going to learn the amazing approach of theer the and the say as follows they say of course uh an eclipse is a physical phenomenon it's predictable it's scientifically uh able to be determined from beforehand when the eclipse will occur however when it occurs it's a bad sign it's a bad masle just like you know there's an idea if somebody's born under Ma madm so says either he'll be a murderer so he better either become a or because you're going to be influenced by the maszle that you're born under so the the yakob says that even though it's predictable when the eclipse will be at the time of the eclipse it prends and reflects upon the sins of the Jewish people you're right it's predictable but at that time it's a of okay you ready for this fasten your seat belts you ready Rafi you sure maybe you'll say this over one day at it's it it would be very good B um yeah all these sins could be you know people need to hear about especially at the Shas The says there are four sins that bring about a solar eclipse if a God is dies and he's not eulogized properly if a woman gets married and she's violated and nobody saves her Mish or if two brothers are murdered like the most random four sins you could come up with if I if I asked you come up with the fourmost unconnected random AO and put them together in one pot this would be a good job says the maral of Prague there is no question that the gamarra is not taken literally and when the gamar talks about the eclipse of the sun the sun represents those who give off light to this world who gives off light to this world why would be eclipsed that their light is no longer shining that people don't learn Tyra why is there a dimunition of Tyra in the world why are people not attached to the Tyra the way they should be now here's a very important idea says maral of Prague in order for Tyra to be learned it's not okay it's not going to be enough if you're interested in learning interest is not going to cause an expansion of Tyra yeah I like learning it's very it's very interesting very interesting interesting interesting a lot of things are interesting there are many industries that H they their their goal is to surpass whatever your minor interests are so that you could be hooked on more interesting things instead of the things that you claim are interesting to you it's not enough to be interested in Tyra you need to love the Tyra if you don't love Tyra the Tyra will not be absorbed and be disseminated and be present in our life in the life of our community in order to learn you need for the T if you don't love the T then you don't even get to first base raise your hand if you love The Tyra it's unanimous it's unanimous otherwise you wouldn't come here you need to love the TOA how do you have to love the T you have to love the T in three ways with all your heart what's your heart remember we said heart is not your heart how you supposed to love with your heart your heart is your mind heart whenever the T says La it's your mind means you have to love t with your intelligence your soul is your actions your cash nothing shows appreciation like cash if you if you want to be connected to toyra yeah I do the da you do the D you do the da okay that's great you do it you have to love the da otherwise you didn't start you have to love the toyra you have to love it with all your soul I'm sorry with all your heart that's your mind with your body and your money the gamar says it says you should love Hashem How could a person love the the is fire if you marry your daughter to a you do business for a you give the from your assets it's like you're connected to Hashem says maral of Prague if you marry your daughter to the we know a person's heart his mind is connected to his children person's thoughts are always about their children so if you give your child over to a so you're giving over your mind to the Tyra if you help a do business so you're working for him you're working to support then your actions are given over to the Tyra when you support with your money your money is giving over to the Tyra you have to love the T in these three ways you ready for this tomam passed away look we understand why you didn't like the rabbi when he was alive we already went through this you didn't like him when he was alive because he told you what to do he once said he once gave you a look and you didn't like it he once did not R Miller would say that um somebody once accused him of not sufficiently widening their smile his smile to to a congregant I understand when the rabbi's alive you don't like but he's dead the poor guy's dead already so give him a eulogy give him a hit don't you see the Tyra is lessened in the world because of his loss why aren't you eulogizing the tamly it's because you don't appreciate the intellectual value of the toyra you don't it doesn't hurt you that there's a dimunition of T in the world if you don't eulogize properly it means that you don't love the Tyra with your mind you know you know why there's a lack of toy in this world because we don't love the to with our mind evident from the fact that a great Rabbi could die and we don't eulogize him properly next a young girl got married and she was violated and she screamed out and nobody came to her Aid says maral you know who that young girl is the Jewish people every Jew is wed to someone who's that the T every Jew is engaged to the T but some Jews they can consummate the deal because they can't afford it some people could afford it some people could afford to learn and some people can't afford it they should get a job they should be gainfully employed you know why are they warming the bench well I should go to where I should support them they should supports it's a capitalist country Al if there are Jews who can't afford to dedicate themselves to learning the way they would like they were married to the toyra but they can't consummate the deal because people are saying you know why should the states support them maybe they should also defend and I'm not getting into that right now but if a Jew would like to learn Tyra who's responsible to support them if you have money in your wallet you are you are if you could afford it no I only give Saka to to poor to social causes I only give toah United hatah Lifeline I only give SED to social causes but you want to learn t no problem be get a job and then when you get home from work you could learn in your free time what do you want from my life I I I I went to school and I have a job and I I worked for it so why do I have to give you money Nar the does not only belong to those who could afford it it belongs to every Jew and if Jews are not able to learn the way they would like to that means we don't love Tyra in what way with our money we don't learn Tyro we don't love Tyro with our money why AR we supporting them cuz it's my money and if they want to learn let them figure out how to be gainfully employed says Mar that's what the gar means you know why there's a solar eclipse you know why there's a lack of Tyra in this world because we don't love the in order for there to be Tyra you need to love the Tyra you have to love it with your mind and if we don't eulogize properly that means we don't have the proper value for and if we don't support we don't have the proper value of what money could do in terms of supporting Tyra you ready for this you know why else there's a lack of uh Tyra in the world because of mish so how we how we going to figure this one out thek says [Laughter] in see life with the woman that you love who's the woman that you love says the Tyra the Tyra is the woman so who's the man the man is your job so the maral says a healthy balanced relationship is to balance your livelihood and the time you dedicate to Li your livelihood is your man and your your relationship with a Tyra is your woman but what if a guy says you know look I work 9 to5 but you know I need to work more I have a nice house but I want to have a nicer car and another car and I want to have an apartment in Florida and one in yam and and a bungalow and I want to go on fancy vacation so I need to work from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. every night and I don't have time to learn pal so your life is about you and your man about you and your job your woman you threw out of the picture you have a very unhealthy relationship over here you know what we call this if you're too involved in your career and your livelihood that's Mish Z I'm just a reporter by the way if I came to you and I came up with thisat I don't know if you're going to this is Mya Prague Mish you got to give equal time to the man and the woman I know by the way Friday night you come home and you sing this uh OD to your wife this beautiful song it has nothing to do with her it's not a song of to your wife I mean you could think it is and she could think it is is about the T it's about your relationship with the T why am I singing it Friday night cuz six days a week you're working and shabas is time for Li okay not not everything that we say here needs to be repeated as a at the shabas table but the truth is the truth there many nice things we say you'll be able to say over at the table says maral of Prague the zahar is your livelihood Thea is the toyra make sure they're wed and they're both given proper attention otherwise Mish then you don't honor the to says the mar with your nephesh with your body you're too physically immersed in your livelihood you're too physically immersed in your career we need to love the reason why the light of T shines in this world and in your life is if you have to love her you have to love her in that sense she's like a wife marriage works you have to love your wife the toyra is Meaningful if you love her you have to love her with your mind you have you have to love her with your actions you have to love her with your money if you don't there will be less Tyra in the world how do we know how much you love the toyra listen carefully how you talk about raban you want to know how much you love Tyra do you praise them or do you criticize them that's one way to know if you love them with your mind do you love them do you love Tyra with your body what's the I your work your livelihood or Lia do you love the T with your money do you support people to be able to learn and then finally we have one more thing because the gamar says what's the fourth sin that causes a solar eclipse if two brothers are murdered in one day what are we going to do with that says maral of Prague if two brothers are murdered in one day the two brothers are the Lis when God gave us a Lis it was his handiwork and his writing if we were able to receive his writing on on his handiwork then the toyra he gave us will be inscribed on our heart but because the two L were broken because the two bras were broken so now God had a supplanted with Mosa's handiwork so now it's not God's writing on God's handiwork it's God's writing on moa's handiwork so now we no longer have this gift from above of the right in of God on God's tablets it's the writing of God on Mosa's tablets so the two brothers were broken says the maral in order for toyra to be meaningful in this world you need to have people who are ma the and when those twoos were broken that was symbolic of a lack of acceptance of the Tyra and therefore in our times as well in order for the Torah to be meaningful in our lives we have to be willing and loving recipients of it says maral the first three sins are specific specific to a determination of our love for the three various levels of loving the toyra with our mind with our nephesh and with our money the fourth sin that the gamar mentions is a reference to the general attitude of our willingness to accept the T according to the moral does Monday's solar eclipse mean anything simply he's saying that it's just a remes that a solar eclipse refers to if you notice that there's a dimunition of Tyra in the world do you know why it's a lack of love for the Tyra but you can't help but think that the solar eclipse is a mush that if you see that the light of the sun is blotted out that reflects that the light of the great Sun the light of the toyra has been minimized in our in our lives and we have to search what is it why is it minimizing why why is my connection to toyra not as deep as it could be and the answer the gar tells us is we have to examine do we love the Torah with all of our mind do we love do we support Li are we too immersed in our jobs and are we really willing to accept it so according to the maral Monday afternoon according to relax you know you could take it easy Monday afternoon doesn't have too much meaning according to the you have to take it very seriously God knew 57 84 years ago that Monday afternoon would be a time when we've sunk to a really low level and according to the maral specifically it seems to be indicating that we have to examine why there has been a minimization of toyra in our lives and the answer is we need to love more we need to love to more and our jobs left and we need to go out of our way and strain ourselves and exhibit some sacrifice when it comes to supporting Tyra and overall we have to be willing recipients of that and in that Merit will be that the great light of the Sun the tah will shine bright and brighter and we we should all be thank you very much and uh thank you
