hi this is dski welcome to the paraa in
five where in five minutes we try to
give you a little insight into the paraa
that you can then use uh on chabas uh
any day of the week or any week of the
year these are Universal messages that
we're giving
across uh I was at a dinner for a
school in uh England and I was sitting
with Dian Aaron Troy I remember it was
par
truma and I asked him the following
question I said it says on top of the
Aron that we put two
Kim cherubs in English to cre him and uh
and I said uh Rashi says that they have
the faces of little children it's a
gamar k the faces of little children
children so the two Kim on the Aron are
supposed to
represent these uh little
cherubic faces of
children but in pares barus it says that
when he chased him out of Gan aen he put
the Kim to block the way back in and
Rashi says
m angs of
Destruction so I could make an argument
that children are angels of
Destruction I could make an argument
that children are
cherubic yeah I could even make an
argument that it applies to both but
you'd think there would be one
definition so I asked this question to
Dian arant try and without hesitation he
said it's
obvious if you put them inside of the
kesak kosim then they're
cherubic and if you kick them out of Gan
aen then they become
Mal it's a very important thing with
children
yeah um I remember when I taught in Derk
RAB
Lazarus like gark was the uh was the
rash Shiva and occasionally we had to
have a staff meeting to discuss whether
or not to
ask a a a boy to leave or not he
mentioned at one of these meetings he
says you know I'm fasting
today because the is that when
you you have to fast if you're judging a
capital crime and when you throw someone
out of Yeshiva you're putting them to
death very serious thing that people
uh deal with in casual ways to take uh
one of the crew him and throw them out
of the kak kosim by the Aron hakodesh
where they're going to go outside of Gan
aen do you stop to think of the
consequences that are going to take
place because of
that so okay let's be fair not every
Yeshiva can deal with every kid
and you don't do a kid a favor by
keeping him someplace he doesn't belong
you do better by finding him a a a KRA
kosan where he's going to go but to just
uh tell take someone and throw them out
on the
street talking to a mashki once and and
uh he says I have to ask this boy to
leave because X Y and Z I said good
you've identified the problem how are we
going to solve it he says no no no if
you want you can speak to the rash I
said that's not the rash's job that's
your job you're the mash you know like
the
of you know your job is to understand
the of every person the only tool in
Your Arsenal is I'm going to throw you
out I told him in in English we have an
expression if the only tool you have is
a hammer then every problem is a nail
Rak got very angry when he found out
that someone had thrown someone out of
Yeshiva because he says this is
mish this is murder to take the cre off
of the Aron where they have that kadosa
and put them outside of
ganaden that's mamish an act where you
turn him into
a we have to be very care careful to
appreciate that every child is a c is a
is a cherub to be honored
respected yeah and and cared for and uh
and to understand that if you kick them
out of the Bas medish the
consequences of being outside of ganaden
is to become an angel of
Destruction
Chavis
