Rabbi Mintz Live - 3/12/13 - "Even At The Gates of Hell They Will Not Repent", part-III

welcome everybody getting closer to pesach today was the first day of the wonderful happy holy day of the month of nissan the uh month of miracles nissan open miracles connecting adore last month to the first month adore the month of hidden miracles with a month of open miracles so we're really into miracles for these two months getting ready for the great holiday pesach probably some people tonight are getting ready cleaning taking care they couldn't make it so let's start with some of the laws of pesach the night before pesach we have to search for comets in the house that means first out of passive is monday night sunday night unless we go out of town if we're staying home sunday night before pesach we do the search for comets throughout the house because we have to get rid of all of our comets not a lot of owned comets never mind eat it we can't own it we can't derive any pleasure from it comets is totally taboo during pesach can't even have it around can even own it if we own hummus as we sell it to the non-jew because we can't even own some pressure so the night before after cleaning up the house and seeing that there's nothing around muhammad we have to make a special check and right away at the beginning of the night we search take a candle of course you could take a flashlight today also because it's traditional to use a candle and it's supposed to be a single wick on that candle abdullah by shabbos knight we make a very very h on the candle that's a multiple wicks we use because one with a nice big flame to make it rakha on but the night of pesach when we search for the muhammads we use a single candle because if it's going to be too big we'll be afraid to get close to any of the furniture or the walls or anything we're afraid to make a fire and we want to make sure to search all the nooks and crannies and cracks to see if any combats or any crumbs are around so we don't want too big of a candle be afraid to get too close and we go around the house searching with this candle the tradition is to take a feather too because the feather represents like a brush to be able to brush into the spoon that we have also wooden spoon is also traditional and the reason for that is that the next day we burn the muhammads in case we can't find any comments to burn we burn the stick at least to remember that there's a mitzvah to burn comets we should forget about the burning of the comets so these are the three traditional things they a a light a candle a feather and a wooden spoon i'm sure i'll remember it from your father and grandfather going around the house the night before searching for the comets because all the children everybody gathers around and they all take part and help going from room to room going searching on the floors on the tables under the chairs all around the house to see is there any comments that we overlooked before peso we've got to get it together and put it in one place also we have to remember sometimes we have young children around and they can take comments who knows where and we have to check all those who knows where if we have the uh suspicion that maybe the kids put comets in places that we don't want to be on pesa because you never know i know one family and one of my neighbors had young children and a whole year they loved cheerios so what they did is they put the cheetos into the air conditioner it was pushed in it and that was a hot place that they put on the air conditioner all the cheers came well over on peso give us real comets sure the real comets so you really never know but uh you try your best anyway to see all the places that you shouldn't be on the hummus of course my wife tells me she's a little girl she used to take it her mother gave her sandwiches to take to school she didn't like to eat at all so she stuff it in her mother's shoes and the wedding shoes then they came with pesach and she took out their shoes to put on them she couldn't put her footage she pulled a green piece of comments i mean from moldy comets from before so you never know what kids do you know what they're up to so we have to try to think what are the possibilities to check all around before we start checking we make a special bracha that we make before any mitzvah that we do before we sit in the sukkah we say raqqa before we eat mata make the broccoli before we put on filling make a broccoli before checking and performing the mitzvah of searching muhammad we make it and we search until we finish searching the old rooms of the house then we say the words of kolkamira saying that any comets which i happen not to find should be null and void nothing to do with me i totally relinquish my biles my possession over any comments that i have anybody who wants it can take it it's not mine anymore because we're not allowed to own comments so therefore we say the night before pesach there any comments that i have that i did not see it someone said i see i'm still eating from until tomorrow any comments that i did not see i didn't notice while researching should be null and void it's like dust of the earth i don't want it anymore it's nothing to do with me anymore anybody wants to come and take it it's theirs the comments that we find and put away overnight should be in the place where children shouldn't get a hold of it and start spreading around the house again they have to tie it up and put it in a place that nobody can get to and the next day we fulfill the mitzvah of burning muhammads beer comets that if you notice and you live in a jewish neighborhood you'll see the next day this will be monday a lot of little fires outside people burning their comets and that's what mitzvah to do at the last goodbye to the muhammad we eat our last meal in the morning maybe next week all the exact times when we have to stop eating vomits and with the next hour we burn the hummus that we found the night before and that's the end of hamilton after pesa so we have the mitzvah of searching the night before in the midst of burning the day after the morning after and then again we say the same words except this time we say all comets that we might have not noticed should be null and void it's not mine anymore it's considered like it's out of my possession and i don't want it because comets is a special law you're not a lot of hummus other things we're not allowed to eat you're allowed to own somebody owns a uh he owns a piece of meat that's not kosher you lot own meat that's not kosher no not eat it you should allow to own it comets you can't even own you can't have any pleasure from you can own it it's out of our lives if somebody is going out of town for pesach and they'll not be home at the night before pesach that we're talking about now then they're able to make this particular search the night before they leave town to leaving town let's say the thursday before passage during the day so wednesday night they have to search they're leaving thursday first friday so they have to search the thursday night the night before we go out of town we have to make the search we don't make a bracket only the night of pesach before passive itself with the broadcast but the searching we must fulfill that mitzvah because even though we're not there in the house but we're not going to own any comments it might be a thousand miles away so still we can't own it it can't be in our possession so we have to search for it and get rid of it if after all that the person found the comments of isa like you said all of a sudden you put another air conditioner and blows out materials whatever might have happened what do you do well you get rid of it as soon as possible you can burn it flush down the toilet you've got to get rid of it and not keep it around if it's a yum tip itself then it's a problem because the object comes says confidence is something not allowed to even move on anyone to touch we have to put on top of it a vessel make sure that it's out of our sight we don't want to make sure not not to come to eat it so we put on top of it a a glass or a a some type of vessel to uh show that this is off limits and as soon as we make them dollar after pressure then we gotta get rid of it okay now we're coming back to our topic that we've discussed the last few weeks of wicked people even when they are the gates of hell they don't do chuva sometimes that's the name of it part three and we talked about different ways and means for a person to be motivated to do juva we spoke about two of them so far one is a person suffering pain which is a messenger of god to a person to wake up and to truthful change our ways something must be wrong god's giving me pain it must be something i have to think about have to rectify in my life as the person starts gets gets older time's going on versus also supposed to think about what can i do to make sure when i meet my creator that will be a pleasurable experience and we're holding by number three but i just wanted to say over a story or two to bring out the point what we're talking about these two things we we discussed there's a uh story with the rabbi called the balloon he's a very outstanding person he went through the holocaust but he made it to this world to this country i should say and he was uh getting on in years and he had one of his followers who came to him was also getting on in years and he kept coming to him and complaining to him he's getting old he can't see as good as he used to see come back again next week he can't choose because he's able to chew and come back again they can't walk to where i used to walk is this pain is that pain i was complaining so rabbit told me that i'm also getting old but i'll tell you the way i look at story of a person who was living in a house for many years and he paid rent monthly after many years this person was getting older and he wasn't able to work anymore and he couldn't pay his rent and he was staying in the house and the landlord calls him up towards the rent is i can't pay the rent time back i'm not i'm not capable of making a living anymore i can't pay rent he says okay you can't pay you can't pay with somebody years you paid your rent i don't care just stay in the house so next week he calls up the landlord and says you know that light in the kitchen is flickering it's not a very good light you know it's so good it's not so comfortable like it used to be they calls them next week again you know that window is so drafty i get cold i stand next to it you know i wish you could do something about it because up the next week again complaining about the floor in the bedroom it's a little worn out and doesn't look so nice anymore so lando said to him like this he says listen you're living in the house you're living for nothing i'm not charging you you have little problems with it and you really are not happy you're welcome to move out you know i don't have to say this the things you're complaining about okay and it runs complaints but you're not paying any rent and living for nothing i think she'll be pretty happy and not complain too much because you have to realize that you're living on free time you want me to come and put money into it yet you're living for nothing so he can overlook the flicking of the light he can overlook draft from the window so ever tell him like this same thing he said i'm almost in my 90s and you're almost in your 90s you're complaining you can't see as good you can't true is good i also feel that way so how does god look at it god says listen you people become who we are most people don't live to the 80s and 90s you're living their free time you want to complain you can't see as good you can choose good so you'd rather i should take the life away from you okay if you're complaining something that's no good you don't like it it's okay god said why complain to living on god's giving us extra time to live everything's not exactly the way it should be it's not as convenient but be happy you're alive don't complain so much you played so much god says complain you don't want to live so long okay so this i thought about when we were discussing the old age we were talked about brings a person to dukchuva that we have to be happy the longer we live i know some people will say i said how are you doing oh i'm getting old boy not everybody can say that i said to the guy not everybody can say i'm getting old that's a wonderful thing because some people say in such a way they're complaining i'm getting old most people love to say they're getting old now everybody can say it some people don't get old so it's a it's a gift from god to get old and something we should appreciate now that was the story about the old age i was thinking about this thing over then i had the other story about the suffering pain i don't know if i said the story over i said over different occasions i'm not sure if i said over here but with the story about the person who's who was uh not getting heat from this i was landlord i said that story recently there's a interesting story that sign brings out that a person who had this landlord was going on vacation and he gave over the house to somebody else to take care of the house there's a winter time and the person taking over the house was very neglectful and he didn't take care of the heat it came october was a cold month and uh he's he met his friend after six months the linwood went away for six months after six months the first living in the house met his friend and was crying so what are you crying about he said the story what happened to him the lord led one away and october was a freezing cold month it wouldn't give us any heat almost november was freezing cold december january and we're begging him and he didn't give us finally february march finally he gave us he told them to freeze it so landlord came back after six months and had to go he says terrible if you're a man you put in charge for four months we were freezing cold so i said really i feel terrible you know what i'm going to do every month i'm giving you two thousand dollars cash i feel so bad so october november december january here's eight thousand dollars cash to make up for that but you had to suffer so why are you crying about then he said he gave his heat the other two months that's why i'm crying i'm kind because he gave his heat the other two months i wish he wouldn't give me eight other months either i would get another four thousand dollars right that's what i'm trying i'm trying because he gave a seat the other two months so we see that sometimes people can suffer and they're happy about suffering because of what they will be able to gain if it would have been called another two months that would have been the four thousand dollars richer we don't appreciate when god gives us pain and suffering we have to have the right idea of what it's all about because in the future in the world to come we'll be able to appreciate that what god gives us even though it's hard to go through suffering but in the long run we'll look back and say wow it was really worth it i wish he had more pain look how much pleasure that god's giving us for the pain that we suffered in this world so i thought these two stories appropriately for the first two motivating factors for a person to do chufa now we come to number one on the glossary sheet yishma in musa great book shari chuva the number three motivating factor for a person to wake a person up to do chufa to become a better person we want to see how this is going to apply to loving right we started loved one who was chasing jack of avinu and vino was giving him a whole speech of how he was so mean to him and how he mistreated him for 20 years is loving going to change or not that's what drove us to brought us to look at all these different angles of how a person to do juve and when a person hears the rebuke number one on the sheet of the wise men when we go and hear a speech a talk a torah talk from a person who's teaching us and he's trying to guide us and explain to us show us how we're supposed to live how he's supposed to be a good jew and those laws between man and god and man and man and we're supposed to take it to heart and say he's talking to me many people when they hear these things he's not talking to me he's talking to him i'm perfect i'm great i'm spotless i don't have any spots of mine to shimmer i'm pure i'm clean people don't want to admit that they have faults that they have to make themselves better people like to feel themselves righteous great people but that's not the way of a great person a great person always wants to better himself maybe i could be a little better maybe i could think better talk better do better maybe i could be more of a torah a god-fearing person what does that person have to say maybe i could learn from him king david says because i his county from everybody i pick up something for me to think about and to better myself even people that are not as great as i am king david one of the greatest men in the world at his time in for all time would he listen to everybody even to children to his enemies anybody who said something criticism he would think to himself maybe something to it maybe i can learn from that that can make us even better than i am that is how we're supposed to look at listen to a speech from somebody who's teaching us of torah thought the torah of ways and the rebellion says over here listen to this a person who listens to a speech to a talk of somebody who's giving them musa giving them the way of life thorough life and he accepts upon himself to live according to where he'll be taught according to the torah guidelines i'll quite quote the words this man in one second yatsam have failed arguable has gone out from darkness into a great light because when he decides that he will accept and fulfill the words of god what god wants us to do he's ready to accept it and fulfill fulfilled what nobody hears it's considered that he already did it god says you took upon yourself to do it then i consider it like you did it already in one second by accepting upon oneself to do what you're supposed to do god considers that like you did it already it's a wonderful thing god doesn't that's it great kindness by accepting upon ourselves from now on whenever i hear what's what's torah thought this torah action target words am i supposed to speak think do and i take upon myself to listen then he immediately is considered a person who actually does and fulfills everything that he would target in the future because if that's what he takes upon himself that's what's important to god of course you have to do it afterwards follow up on it but just a mere fact that he's ready to fulfill what he learns what he hears and then it's going to say like he did it already rebecca eckhardt again i'll quote him again one second he's gone out from darkness into a great light until now he was dark he didn't know what's right he doesn't know what what the right thing what the torah wants and what does god want from me but now i have people teaching me and they tell me what the right thing is and i'm ready to accept what they're saying because i know that they are torah informed people so then i to accept upon myself it's as if he did it already and that's what i have on the nepa the ish ah this person has turned around to be a new person he's no person because till now he was going in his own ways he did what he thought is right and now decided to do what the taurus says is right but god says is right so then he's a different person he already is subjecting his own ideas and his own thoughts to a higher power realizing that man is not the highest idea does not have the highest ideas and the highest thoughts that are possible in the world man is very limited in his depth and breadth of what's right what's wrong many people consider things that are right which societies think that are very wrong some people think that it's old sick people we should get rid of them we don't need them anymore abortion has become so popular which 60 years ago was murder today it's wonderful thank you doctor thank you doctor for being a murderer i think we appreciate it very much things that are so opposite to torah thought that they're not considered according to torah whatsoever in society they start being accepted well let's start marijuana let's say it's okay why not they were one of the things that were taboo for so many years but now people come yeah it's a good thing why not so we are very subjugated to society and society is not necessarily having the right kind of hashikofas like an outlook of life certainly not the tougher outlook of life so when a person takes upon himself that i want to do according to what the torah says is right so then he has gone from a darkness which the world today lives in a big darkness because everybody wants to keep up with everybody's doing they want to have the possessions everybody possesses they want to have the dreams everybody dreams about and that to them becomes what's right what's considered uh uh special and they are born with these thoughts and die with these thoughts and they never see the light never see the true light they just go along with society and whatever society they might live in and we know many societies does sound very very awkward certain things that we hear about other other countries what they do and different things things eskimos do call it crazy things i'm going to go into everything right now but to them it's considered 100 it's okay no problem and to us it's down upon how could you do things like that so this is something that every generation comes up with different ideas but the real true fundamental ideas are in the torah they never change god doesn't change the terror doesn't change many things in our change in our times like i mentioned earlier before some things that were considered totally impossible unacceptable now they become acceptable because people change same-sex marriage is the thing which is one of the most disgusting things in the world anti-torah our great politicians are pushing for it and they are trying to consider that it's a wonderful thing we have to be tolerant things that are so anti-torah all these different things so this is person people are living in the dark and in the torah thought to pull us up and show us what the truth is what right and wrong is so a person who takes upon himself he is a different person from now on not what i think is right society is right or what maybe even his parents might be right no what is right according to the terror thoughts and we have a number four another quote from these wonderful cypher shabbat shiva the sinners a person who dislikes rebuke a person does not like to hear that he does something wrong a person does not like to hear that maybe he could do something better he could better himself become a better person people don't want to make people some people don't want to hear that they want to hear you're good you're wonderful how many rabbis lost their job because they give too much whistle to the congregants they tell the congregants you have to be better about this you'll be better about that and people say we don't want a rabbi who's going to tell us we're doing wrong we want someone to give us a pat on the back once years ago i met a man who was a conservative synagogue and he told me god get rid of our rabbi he's no good i said what's wrong with him he said why drive up to schuler and shabbos i want to say good job this to me and smile i don't want to look the other direction i want to get a pen and pad on the back i don't keep shabbos i want the rabbi to give me a pat on the back not that he should look in the other direction and and not as if he doesn't notice me people who do the wrong thing they don't want to feel guilty well they feel good about themselves and that's something that most of us in one way or another we don't like to hear our faults we like to hear everything we're doing good great people on the contrary say tell me i'm doing good what's that going to help me i'm doing good i want to hear what i'm doing not good so then i'll be able to make myself a greater person because you're telling me you're good you're good they're good so what am i going to gain i'm not going to gain anything by that i'm not going to get great if i give you compliments all the time of course people like compliments too because sometimes it gives a little bit of a shot in the arm but great people want to better themselves all the time and they want to hear something give me something that'll be able to be different than before something that i didn't realize before something greater was so this is the number three motivation is talking about how we can better ourselves god sends us messengers the message of god the people who hear torah talks from speeches from we hear what they have to say and take it to heart and take upon ourselves to be what we what we're hearing to do we're told then we have another motivation how a person can learn and live this life and grow and become a greater person the number five but hey sasha yeager besides hashem it's all been quoted from this wonderful cipher character when a person studies god's torah whatever book we open up the five books of moses or the books of the prophets or the scriptures wherever we open up we always can see and learn things how to govern our lives and how to live and how to make ourselves better because that's the purpose of the torah why did god give the turret to the jewish people they should live by it they should grow by it they should become greater people by it so that's something that is so important we are urged to study torah every day as much as possible as we can that's the considered the greatest mitzvah in the tournament we have 613 minutes what's the greatest mitzvah in the torah stunning tone itself that's great smiths how do i can i get puma that's the greatest thing we can do why because terror is god's thought it's god's torah his his ideas so to speak even though we don't get the real depth of the ideas of the torah because we don't have the real depth of god but on our level the time is written on our level and in every level possible but on the surface a simple level we can learn so much from tutorial how to live how to think and how to talk that is certainly one of the most important ways to be first and motivated to be good people be good jewish people between men and men and man to god i think every week i'm going to finish off what we started and we still have to get sort of carried away and talk and we i don't know if you have any any questions maybe i could if there wasn't so many questions we can always continue afterwards to finish all the different things we want to talk about tonight but maybe we can stop for a little bit now any questions or comments anybody like to say we actually had it do you have a question we actually got a few questions in front from the uh from the online one question is uh it's a general question about why does hashem want men and women to be separated it's a uh he wants to know i guess the um besides the obvious reasons why do we have again i'm just guessing at what he means but uh you know if well we spoke about a few weeks ago i made this question of uh when i was separate and the school talked about that the top one so we this was asked a few weeks ago and not to uh expound on it too much but schule was supposed to connect to god and be more kind of spiritual kind of people and uh we're praying to him so uh men and women sitting together very distracting as we know men are attracted to women when attracted to men and therefore it's very difficult to concentrate and make our thoughts pure and holy and connect to god so therefore that's we separate the men and women of the shul in order for us to have time for everybody to connect to god without any distractions so this means that in a setting which is not in a shul then it's okay let's say at a wedding we don't uh we don't mix either well other times we separate men and women also because men and women have a tendency to get very friendly with each other and there's certain guidelines that we're allowed to make contact men and women together and comes to a semicolon where people are dancing and drinking and merrymaking it's a time that people might be a little atlax in their relationship with men and women together so therefore it's a time to separate the syndra also to see to it that the people don't go over the line of having the improper contact between men and women so therefore we make separation and also religious gatherings rabbi uh in the paper there's a story about a american citizen who is a son-in-law or grandson of a terrorist who was recently killed and as a lawyer he has a jewish lawyer uh and he he asked the uh the the lawyer to excuse any jew that would be in the truck and the jury and his lawyer is jewish so his joy the the his lawyer that he has has to do his job granted but he is asking the courts to disallow any jew to be on the jury uh can you can you say something about that is he is he is he doing wrong by saying we don't want any jews well i wouldn't say that he's doing wrong he's afraid that jews are biased against terrorists so he doesn't want the jews to be on the jury uh i don't think he's doing it as far as anti-jewish is concerned but he's afraid that jews are not too uh in love with terrorists so therefore he doesn't want them to attempt to decide his fate because he feels they're biased against them so and that in itself i wouldn't say that it means that he's uh anti-jewish he probably is terrorist he must be in the jewish but i would say that's the reason for it he has a jewish lawyer because he knows that a jewish lawyer the best kind of lawyers and he must have talked to him and made sure that he's not biased especially the lawyer wants to get fame a lot of money these guys have lived unlimited amount of money to pay their lawyers because they're backed by all kinds of oil lords who have a lot of money so the jewish lawyer is going to do the best for him and the same thing the one who killed americana had a jewish lawyer and got him off the hook those are the best lawyers they know how to handle i don't see how they have the conscience to do it whatever they're doing but he knows who's going to be good for him you know the jewish lawyers have ways of winning cases so therefore uh you cannot discriminate against the juror because of its nationality or color or creed okay but i'm saying i understand what he's thinking i'm not going to understand that he that he doesn't want jewish people to feel divised against him but his duty is to god not to a pers do you know what i mean there's sort of a conflict well he's not uh obligated to think that every jew is so pure and holy they'll be totally objective and not have anything against a terrorist i wouldn't want to be against a terrorist because i'll be objective so i think you're terrorists i'll think once we've got to get rid of them no matter what so i mean i i might try to be uh objective but people are people you know so it's very difficult a lot of times judges resign from certain cases because they feel they're they're prejudiced they feel they can't be objective they feel the bias a lot of jurors also excuse themselves if the jury would say this the judge will not will allow it the jury will say i can't be on the jury against a terrorist i feel i'm biased the judge will right away permit him to leave the person on trial is a different story of him to say he can't but the juror himself the person to say like i said many lawyers will uh uh will will step out of the case maybe judges will step out of the case of manager and step out of the case because they feel that they're biased they feel they cannot be objective so there's nothing wrong with that people have to realize the weaknesses of men we're not we're not pure intellectuals we have we have feelings that that that tend to taint our our thoughts and our decisions so i can understand what he's saying not that i sympathize with him but i can just say what he's saying i have a question about pesach yes there's certain foods the ashkenazim cannot eat is faraday can eat yes and i know it's been a game but what is exactly the the different foods and i born in poland but i know my ancestor came from spain so i don't know i'm ashkenazi or marsvardi so what's what say that again i said i born in poland yes my normal future generation from my family came from spain so what i do i have and i have a straining style you do according to what your father did your father was ashkenazi you're an ashkenazi if your father was his father he says that my foster up there what do you do he dressed happened oh yeah right right right right yeah yeah yeah well that's good for uh for for a play for x but it's for actual life you go according to your uh your parents or the way they uh the way their tradition but certain foods that are permitted really but just the different customs according to the country they came from why they eat certain foods and do certain things according but according to the laws themselves we all have the same law ashkenazi inspired it's all going to the talmud according to the gomorrah different customs that came afterwards that depends on different places where people come from but the laws themselves they're all the same right that's from beans from if it's well you ask a nazi no you can't no no no because it sounds like comet converse is from chickpeas no chickpeas is a kidney such beans and peas are not eaten by ashkenazim the reason being because that they grow together on the field with the grains the five grains of hummus so the easter farmers would collect the beans a lot of times the pieces of stocks or or the the grain would get mixed in with the beans and peas and they could make them together and that becomes comments so therefore since it was hard to separate the two things so they make beans or are forbidden to eat not to come to these comets so that was accepted by ashkenazi but i did not accept that so writes the same thing right yes so you see some of the stores today they'll say have a special section fired them only not for ashkenazi because those are beans and peas and they have a special hampshire first person but oshkoshmen are not supposed to eat that somebody told me he was in israel and they had thick matzos they were making and they used to make thick matzos but thick mats are hard to keep not to be comets we make them very thin but there are some i think tomorrow some of them that eat sick matas so one of my relatives went over hey that looks delicious i want to buy one attachment that's not your custom you can't we're not going to sell it to you so we have to go according to our uh i'm saying because different problems come up and uh people decide that the law is the law but we want to keep away from making their making and coming to go against the law so sometimes people if you have a green light and you can go across the street but you see it start blinking already you could really run across the street if you want to but i don't want to take a chance i'll wait for some changes next time it comes to me people in daily life we have things that you can do but we don't do it because we want to be more careful not to take a chance it comes to laws that are the same thing the certain laws are laws but we so we were afraid that maybe we won't uh perform them correctly so we don't want to take a chance uh rabbi i have a question regarding the laws of pesach i believe that many people especially jewish people who may own a restaurant or grocery store sell their chamets with an arrangement though that after pesach is over the hallmates will be returned to them uh now now that that's correct right well it's not the requirement for them with the arrangement that in case the non-jew wants to buy they have to pay for it you know is it you don't say you have to send it back to me you don't just sell it back if you want to buy it you'll have to pay and the restaurant costs about a hundred thousand dollars or the commerce investment costs about made ten thousand dollars if he decides he wants to buy it you can't stop them from buying it but most of the time they don't want to feel like buying it because they have no purpose for it but it's a it's a sale which is a hundred percent uh authentic and if the non-jew decides to buy the commerce after passage he has a hundred percent right to buy and we can't stop because my question um my question after that was going to be if uh for people who wish to sell their clamates however with the hope or with that they would then be able to repurchase the chlamyds if they would really be giving up ownership because the talmud teaches that in order transfer of ownership to occur a person would need to abandon the hope of reobtaining the item so if a person is going to sell the humates with the hope of then re-obtaining the chlamyds would they really be um would they really then be confiscating their ownership of that of that clamate would that really be yes they are since they make a binding contract when the rabbi sells the comments for everybody he is the messenger he's the agent for all the jews who signed up i have people gave me the over here i have documents people say tell me i want to sell my comments i'm going to give this over to my rabbi friend who er pessah on monday will call in this non-jew and he's going to make a contract with him all these papers and all the people who signed up want to sell the comments and you're the one who's going to buy it he says yes i'm going to buy it and then make a real sale different ways of actions of selling binding according to jewish law and non-jewish law and it's a bona fide sale of the comments of all these people to the non-jewish person and after pesach the rabbit calls in the non-jew and says to him would you want to keep it and pay for it or do you want to sell it back to me to everybody so the answer always is i want to sell it back because i don't have enough money to pay for all this comments that everybody gave me and i have no use for it i don't i don't want it and i'm i'm ready and he buys it back again with bonafide actions which sells the comments back to the original owners so it's not just a uh metaphor or just a uh signed of something it's a real bona fide sale of comments to him and back from him okay thank you i was once standing there when the rabbi was buying it back from the non-jew said rabbi what would happen to white back coming to tonight it would be killed in the car accident what would you do it would be a big problem his relatives would take over all the comments that they would inherit from the from the non-jew of the big problem but he said this it's a good question it wouldn't be simple you know he owns it he's a real owner of it if he wants to during passage come into the person's house and take it he can't stop him he wants to take it it's his 100. number one you said during the thing you said that the commits is you go out and you burn it and then you say that you sell it and then i got a thing in the mail from ura now how does all of this work uh you burn it you burn some of it a small amount you sell if you have a some people don't sell their comments about something they don't want to sell it they don't know what they want you know but if you sell your comrades but some of it you leave over to burn you don't sell everything yeah now you actually take like hey let's assume this from now so what do you put in a bag and then you go to actually sell it or it's just the formality like uh urugu send you a contract and you don't take the actual comments like this and put it in a bag or something and send it with a contractor put it in your house behind a locked door or a closed door with a special sign on it and it says this is put away i can't come why don't you just throw it in the garbage and forget about it well because it's valuable this is valuable that's not but a whole box of cheerios is very valuable i i i i i don't you know the guy owns a pretzel factory it's very valuable because it costs a hundred thousand dollars worth of pretzels that's valuable yeah but don't they clean it throw into the garbage they clean out they clean everything out i remember going to matza factory many many years ago when i was a kid and they said like for i think for they take all the vats everything everything is just cleared out and then they make the whole place uh plummets free and then they make the matzos and then you know i don't know you know i'm sorry i'm asking you what many people have a lot of comments they have flour and they have crackers they have cereals so in other words it's okay to save all that stuff you don't have to throw it in the garbage no no you can sell it you sell it you sell it you sell to the non-jew oh you could sell it or throw it or throw it in a garbage either way yeah i know and then and then you and it but now what about this like contract you got from uber how does that work that's selling the comments that you have so what do you do you just sign you sign the bottom of it or something and then you mail it back to ura that's right and ur takes it and gives it to this rabbi i'm talking about who sells it to the non-jew but you don't you don't send right giving him making your agent you're making uro your agent to sell your comments but you don't actually give hoorah and either you don't give them a like a symbolic bag of comments no no no no you just send we don't collect comments no no so in other words you just send your name you just send back the contract that's it that's it now do you supposed to pay money for this so how does it work you don't have to pay money for it no you don't pay no money no you just send back the contract and that's it right so there's no there's no uh that's the proper way there's no you don't really make a donation or you don't have nothing to do with it no you just send back the contract right and then that that's it that's it now another thing which i find on the supermarkets that there's a supermarket and i've just seen it and first time i've seen it was last year and then i've just seen it again this year when you go to supermarket you pick up like the circulars like what's on sale right and next to the circulars on sale is a sheet of paper like this and on a sheet of paper it says the name of the the name of the supermarket on the top and it says all these following items are kosher for passover and they list all the name brands i'd say eight ounce container of this by xyz company uh is kosher passover it'll say uh this example may say ketchup by this company and this ounces is kosher passover uh this mustard uh there's these frankfurters these uh i get the idea okay about yeah but it's it's like it's like about hundreds of items and they're all listed on a sheet of paper what is your point so what's wrong what's the problem now here's the thing when you go shopping around the supermarket these items if they're not labeled oup but they're on this one sheet of paper up by no no no you have to i'm on the container exactly so that this is actually useless is what they're doing at the time well it's telling you what to look for oh okay but that yeah but the way it looked to see it it seemed that if it was on that list you don't have to worry about the oup it there are certain lists that say you don't have to worry about a different type of list it depends certain things don't need all you repeat okay okay okay okay but more in general even if it's on the list in the general supermarket i want to give you an idea of what they're selling in their store which is kosher passover so go and take a look and pick it up this way you know what to look for thank you that that was available i did oh you peed me passover and if if it's specified on they have a circular specified this does not need otp if you if you have in the circular saying that this does not need an oup on it so then you don't need all you'll be on it certain things have nothing to do with comets there's a whole year they're okay certain things uh water okay bottled water you don't need oap on it but some have it but you don't need it yes yeah just you know no no waters doesn't have no exposure yeah i have people okay people want to make sure for some no no some people want to make sure they don't know today you don't know what how they process things all different ways so people don't want to take a chance only what says o.u.p or whatever oh you the other other thing okay people that's not different we have another question that came in by email from uh somebody talia ohayon she wants to know what is the ultimate meaning of deino how is it enough you know when we say hashem thank you that's enough it would be enough this enough that how could that be enough if it didn't get us to well the question is based on the uh part of the haggadah that goes through all the miracles that god to the jewish people going out of egypt till they arrived 40 years later in the holy land and all the miracles that took place and we said if god would have done that miracle would be enough for us god but this miracle would be enough for us they're asking me enough why is it enough uh we want all the miracles to happen enough means as far as god's concerned what we are worthy of it's ayanu whatever god did for us every miracle split the red sea that was enough that means that we were that's as much as we were worthy of of that miracle we're not worthy of anything more anything he did for us was extra everything was extra as far as we're concerned it's uh it's looking at ourselves what we're worthy of it's uh this is certainly wasn't enough to to give us we're not worthy of more than that that's the dayenu that's that's as as much as god gave us that's how much we're worthy of more than that not worthy of what also that also would be enough those were also not worthy more than that that's when we're not worthy of having all these miracles one each one in itself was enough for us to to realize god's goodness to us what we're worthy of it was enough for us to give us that particular thing any other comments of words well we can maybe even go a little further on our finish tonight of course we have number six we're talking about those things that motivate motivated us to do chufa assassin the ten days of penitence between rashid shannon kippur which we discuss at length when that time comes so just going to skip over that very quickly and number six which is number seven on our glossary sheet called ace a person should be always ready to meet our creator this is a motivation for us to do tuva to be good people we never know when our time comes when we're going to meet our creator some people live long some people don't live so long and we don't want to be caught off guard and we have the statements in number eight probably the rabbi eliezer said to his students repent one day before you die so they said to him how are we supposed to know what day that is what do you mean one day before we die when's the day before we die he says yeah that's my point he said in other words repent every day because you don't know the person never knows what when his last day in the world is so therefore we should always think to ourselves we better be okay today because maybe this is our last day in the world maybe by this evening we'll be meeting our creator and we want number nine we want to return our soul to god as a pure one we say every day under prayers god gave us unto soul which is pure when we give it back to him when we leave the world we want to give it back to him as a being pure we got it pure we want it to stay pure we want even to grow even greater so we have to think to ourselves we never know when we're going to meet our creator when god's going to say to him let's take a look at in the summer is it the same way i gave it to you or did you destroy it or did you blemish it you want to have a sham which is pure which is holy so putting it together yaakov avino met lavan and he unloaded to him his frustrations of 20 years which of these six things did lovin face when the oculus spoke to him i would say number three which is over here number one he wasn't in pain he wasn't old but he was hearing the words of avinu telling him he acted improperly he was a very very vicious the way he treated yaakov avinu and he told him strongly and he could have gone out from the darkness to a great light in one second if love and would have taken seriously yacovino told him stop being such a swindler stop being such a thief repent be a mensch live a normal life a good life like a man supposed to live if he would have accepted that at that moment he would have been a different person but he did not all they made between themselves a monument that they stood up saying that promise you will not go past this monument to do any bad to me i won't go anything bad to you they made this trinity between them yahshua love on them come and number 11. yahshua love on them kind of this is a sad word for loving love and return to his place imagine that that's her saying he lived with the occupant for 20 years he could have been elevated he could have been a great person learning from yakim one of the greatest people who ever lived yaakov jacob whoever had the great merit to live with such a saudi for 20 years and what had happened at the end he finally got this rebuke from yaakov if he could have become a different person no by yoshof love on them kindly love and went back to his place leave me alone i'm happy where i am i'm going to stay a swindler a thief and no good nick and didn't make any question to make any kind of impression upon him he went back to be the same disgusting person that he was until then nothing helped but the number 12 yakov went he didn't return yaakov grew from this experience he was in the house of lovan and he was the man of truth yaakov was a man of truth even though god threw him into a place which is so against truth and so a crash course against the truth to house of love on and he still lived a life of truth like we mentioned a few weeks ago he still was trustworthy he didn't take anything does that doesn't belong to him even though he tried to swindle him and love and try to to get everything out of him that in a crooked way jacob stayed straight and he didn't bend he stated isha amis the man of truth he grew from that from that experience it was 20 years the uh not like lovan who went back and stayed the same but he grew up and angels came towards him angel is showing the greatness of yaakov avinu and this concludes the aca venus day he's leaving his parents when we started two weeks and months ago came to lovin for 20 20 years his whole family was born then except for one child wasn't born yet and he's coming back to the land of israel a greater person angels are greeting him because he grew from this experience with a great family the eleven boys and one girl alzadikin and now he's coming to another challenge which will richard shem come to to to study about next time and this is what we have to learn ourselves we have all kinds of challenges we face in life all kinds of difficulties some people don't learn anything they don't grow at all they go back after a challenge as if nothing happened and what we're supposed to do is the akava vinu to grow from the challenge to take it to learn to realize that god's putting it in our right in front of us and we're supposed to know how to handle it how to digest it how to grow from it to realize god's greatness in the challenge that we have our greatness and challenge that we have to grow from every experience in life okay so next week we're having a pacer party right so we're going to celebrate that uh is coming and reichman and it's going to be here are we happy to see you right yes musicians thanks so so everybody have a wonderful week and uh nice to see you see you next week
