In Defense of Artscroll (2) The War Against PRIDE!!! (24 Minutes)

[Music] now to finalize it I think we answered most of the questions but you see here that some of the things one of the questions was why some of the mitv some of the things are explicit it it says in the tah don't cook a deer in his mother's milk but it says it three times do it three times why it say the sameah three times so obviously here we learned there certain things is explicit says we're not allowed to eat me meat milk but it says the same verse three times why because if you look at what kazal says says it's written three times because there's three separate mitv from the same verse why you're not allowed to eat it two you're not allowed to cook it third time you're not allowed to enjoy it meaning that if you want to go work as a chef you're not allowed to work as a chef in a non kosher restaurant why because you're not allowed to cook or eat or even enjoy make money out of non koser food so if you own a non- kosher restaurant you must get rid of it you m you are not allowed to be a cook or make any money out of non-er food not allowed that's why that specific specific vers is written three times so there's something called exuses where the the the sages understand multiple messages from the Torah and this is how the Torah is endless now this is also Fe helps with the whole argument that we had last week about art scroll I don't know if you guys have been following but uh apparently this is uh some of the uh of the world uh sometimes have a keep on sometimes have a hat on sometimes they think of themselves Asik so last week we talked about how to tell people you're not allowed to learn from art scroll aside from being stupid and ignorant it's GAA it's gaa why because art scroll has made it easier to learn the basic the basic meaning of gar it doesn't give you any major Secrets you're not going to become a cabalist from learning art scroll you're not going to become mhu from learning art school because of how no you're going to learn the basic the basic literal meaning of thear what is the trying to tell me basic meaning so some guy that started learning six months ago no I'm not I'm not even exaggerating it he actually wrote an article about a month ago it said here are the rules of how to learn I started learning 6 months ago now immediately anyone that has a a little bit of uh something should at that point say whatever he says I'm not doing why in order to teach you first have to learn you can't tell me you learned how to learn in six months my friend you can't you can't teach me after you've only learned for six months I remember I used to train all different guys that worked for me for the series 7 the series 7 is a question uh a um a series of questions 265 questions that you must answer over seven hours it's a seven hour test not an easy Test passing grade is 70 so I would train my guys how to pass this test certain things you need to know certain things you need to focus on and so on and so forth the funniest thing is that sometimes I would have some of these guys they would just like barely you know pass their test pass get a grade they passed their test they got a 70 71 75 whatever they got and a week later they're trying to tell me how to run my business it's funny it's little kids you know it's like a little you know little three-year-old kid you look at him like you can't you know you can't be upset at him he's a little you know he's three problem is some of them were 30 so you can't really you know it's silly but it's the same thing here guy started learning six months ago is telling people these are the rules of what you need to do I learned from from from from all these different people and he wrote first rule don't use AR scroll first rule don't use art scroll so now I said what I said last week if you guys remember we made a clip out of it which is obviously this is this is nonsense if you have the ability to learn with a rabbi that's going to oversee you definitely use regular with Rashi but if you're learning without a rabbi if you're learning if you're brand new you're B cha you don't know how to learn yet you don't know everything yet you're just learning on your own you must use art scroll using not using art scr is stupidity why because what ends up happening is that you learn and you get to the wrong conclusion and now you continue building on it but it's wrong so that's what happened to this generation is a lot of people think that they're smarter than what they really are even if they're in yeshivas and they get to the they don't learn what actually said they decide what they said they make the laws they make the things and they build on the wrong conclusion so what ends up happening is that you're putting it's like putting seasoning on rotten food no matter how much seasoning you're putting on it you're still going to get food poisoning at the end it's rotten you understand so now when you get to the wrong shot the wrong basic understanding you're guaranteed to make g bigger guaranteed why because you're building on the wrong Foundation it's never going to turn into right it's always going to be rotten so when you learn art schol at the very least what happens is that you know if you study it carefully and you read everything that it says on a page most likely not 100% most likely you're going to arrive at the correct Pat the correct basic meaning which means that anything you build on it will be built on a solid foundation doesn't guarantee that everything you're GNA say after that is gonna be right but you have something to stand on so anyone says otherwise is in essence telling you that anytime somebody teaches RAB teaches he's telling you theat he's telling you different things no no no if he's telling it I don't want to hear it I want to only learn on my own so this is also wrong theoretically because rabis teachar you're his Rabbi teachar he tells you what he read but he said no no if he's saying it I want I want to learn it on my own I want to arrive my own conclusion so already it's this is theoretically incorrect but aside from that what's really really wrong about this is that when you have the wrong conclusion it usually stems from the wrong place you don't have right to correct teaching so this guy wrote this article we said we explained ourselves as you know and now included I don't mention his name I'm not trying to ruin anybody's life he's not the only one by the way um there's PL this is a common thing this battle has been going on for for two decades he's not the first one to mention this but again somebody made a mistake no problem I don't mention names usually unless I have to but nonetheless I said this and it came out apparently the guy that wrote the article saw it and he decided to say here's he made a Shure a recording of himself his why yon ruven doesn't know how to learn and he makes a seven minute recording of him repeating himself 18 times insulting me and pretty much murdering me in public this is good for me it's good for my good for my it's no problem I don't I'm not crying overnight for this but this is this is someone that just he thought he knows he taught how to teach you now to to learn is already high level to teach that means you not only know how to learn you know how to teach giant you know all the laws you're giant you're of this generation teach not only he doesn't know how to learn he doesn't know the basic says someone embarrasses somebody else in public has no share of the world to come so this is why you said about outc a month ago you didn't like the mus I gave you the same day you wrote it I sent the guy M I told him listen you're wrong you're not you're not doing right you should take this thing off aside from being theoretically wrong and practically wrong and it has has signed off on it you have videos of of um kki studying from it kki studying from it Stein studying from it from Arts gr R David Feinstein has a whole you talking about how great it is signing off on it you little peon roach that started reading the book started learning how to read six months ago saying everybody's wrong because somebody told you something that you misunderstood so you didn't like the M that I I told him listen this is wrong this also you're going against what does he do as a response he destroys me he goes and makes he calls Theon ruen so don't don't misunderstand yon ruen no Rabbi no bis yonu doesn't know how to learn and he goes seven minute recording insulting me and in case since he only has three subscribers him and his mother and some other friend that he has subscribers to his SoundCloud Channel nobody heard it so what did he do after he made sure to type everything he said and he posted it online again it wasn't a enough to kill me the first time he wants the M he wants M like the for for some he wants to kill me twice so he typed it also huh on Facebook yeah he sent it to me he sent it on the group I was in but okay so now I'm going to ask you I'm G to ask you a question before Tor what would I do after Tor what we do before T probably go to his house we have Tora we have Tor we thank God for the for the merits only thing I responded is something that it says in the G in B I'm sorry batra batra 75 75b 75b says to a wicked King called he's a wicked King that thought that he was God so what did he do he built a castle with seven levels separated by water like hasem has seven seven seven Heavens KN at the top of the heaven made a cast in essence separated by water in seven ways so sent a prophet to him he says to him this I looked at you when I created the world I saw you coming in the future I saw your arrogance what you going to have and because of you because of you I created whole in the body why holes in the body because how much confidence can you possibly have when everything that you put inside into your body goes out stinky what are you so proud about you think you're a God you just had diarrhea last week you had a headache you had a broken back you have a foot fungus I saw you you arrogant fool and because of you I did it so I said this guy learns this one that one don't use art scho don't use that one so of course he's going to understand what I mean so I sent him this little C I just sent him I just sent him the verse with the page I'm assuming he understood what is the response I'm doing it for to separate the from the I'm saying you don't even read the Hebrew that I wrote you you don't even know how to read cuz if you knew how to read you would even know You' understand this has nothing to do with anything just shows you Gan you have too much pride you're making all this stuff you're destroying people in public for no reason what happened what happened my friends what happened is is that somewhere along the line people forgot that is everything there's a verse in the torem says hem has a treasure chest Shem has a treasure chest the whole Treasure Chest has one thing used to have two he used to have Shabbat he took Shabbat he gave it to us this is one thing left what is it says says the only reason has created the world is for you to fear Him not for you to love him love him comes later to fear him give him a reason to create the world when there's no there's no connection to there's no connection there's nothing there biss so now to prove this example of this art scroll I give you from art scroll now the basic that talks about this page 31 it says everything that he has a treasure chest is the so it says what is it like what is it like this says even if you you know the entire mishna you know the entire Mish by heart nothing it's worth nothing you know the entire mishna entire Foundation of all Tor all of it you don't know it you you have it you know by heart you know to you know rash you know you know you know whatever you want you know it's word zero first thing this is AR says Rashi Basics says what is this like tell me tell me more tell me more says tell me more it says says when someone goes to sh there's the of sh he died 70 80 120 however many years he goes to sh of sh there's no more uh joking around have to pay the bill they ask him questions there a few questions they ask first question they ask did you conduct your business with honesty with faith or you dishonest person why didn't they ask him did you go to besset or you honest in besset why besset everybody could pretend like the sikim in business there's no pretending why money money you're not pretending if you're honest you're honest in your business if you're a liar you're a liar in your business bottom line first question did you conduct your business second question did you make time for learning to every day or were you one of those guys says no no I I'm working really hard I'm GNA study later I'm gonna I'm gonna make my Millions I'm gonna study later later after I have a few million in the bank I'm gonna study all the you want I'm going to study all this I'm going to do this I'm going to give everybody blames God for their lack of said listen listen I don't have that much money now only make $50,000 a year only make $50,000 a year only make $50,000 a year I can't give now when hasem gives me a million dollars or 100,000 or 200,000 or whatever number they have in their little head that makes them believe that's the number that allows them to give Saka when I have that I'm going to give Saka then this shows that not only they don't understand what is but has got him on a little leash because he's convincing them that they need more in order to give the reality of it is that Thea of the guy that doesn't have much sometimes is more valuable than Thea of the guy that has a lot why the guy that made 30,000 last year that gave 300 bucks that gave $100 is going to have much more Merit than the guy they gave 2 million 5 million 100 million but didn't feel it he didn't feel it got a billion dollars so he gave you 10 million big deal it's interest over a couple of months the guy that gave $300 you know what you have to eat a little less this month you understand so someone says no I'm going to give staka when I have more obviously you don't understand what staka is you don't understand what who gives you the money and so on there's a lot more we need to learn about that so get next question did you make time for Tora you didn't make time for t we have a problem and so on and so forth says let's say you answer I'm going to fast forward because it's late already says let's say you answered all the questions right everything's right you made time for Torah you are honest in your business you are waiting you are hoping for the mashia to come you have to wait for the mashia it's one of the main things you have you're being asked you you brought kids to the world or at least tried you don't have to just stay single because you don't like people you have to find a z you have to actively look for it whether you find it or not is not your problem but it's aem's problem you have to look you have to try says let's say you answered all the questions good got check mark next to each one last question is did you have says if the answer is negative the judgment's negative everything goes to nothing so now this ISAT they give you it says says we want more give me an analogy I'm I need more says okay I'll give you I'll give you an example let's say a guy says to his servant go to the um what is it called um attic go to the attic and put my wheat put organize all the wheat put it over there put all the wheat over there servant good servant he goes takes the wheat puts in the Attic he comes back down after a few hours he tells the master yeah finished he says did you put did you put the preservative on the wheat he says no no I didn't put it so the B says it was better off you didn't do anything why before you did it the wheat was fine it was still in its place it was fine it was preserved it was fine its nature but now you put it in the attic and there's no preservative which means it's all going to go bad because of you so it's better you didn't do anything the says that's the we is all the MIT all the mitv you did this you did you did learned T you went you had Hanah you had you had all everything you had the the preservative is the it says say you have no it's not worth anything it's not going to preserve it's not going to last this is basic you learn than any in the world this is Rashi and Basics now the extra part that they add one of the here say you should know if you sell the um wheat in a sack and let's say it's uh I don't know 50 pounds but out of the 50 pounds really it's 45 lbs of Wheat and 5 PBS of preservative you still sell it it's still honest it's still right business it's still koser business to sell it as 50 lbs of wheat not 45 lbs why the f says because if it's not for the five PBS of the the 45 wouldn't last anyway so this is Art score you just learned page 31a or at least a few most of it of this last section last third of it what's the that was not in the that was not an art school that shows you that now that you understand the basics you have a basic understanding it's endless of how much you can build it what's the what's the the is that the the the preservative that's art scroll meaning if you have a situation where you're learning and you get to the wrong conclusion because you don't have a rabbi that's overseeing you you don't have a rabbi overseeing you you don't have you're just arrogant you think that you can get into the you know the conclusion page 90 says if you don't have a rabbi it's overseeing you hasem hates you you don't have a rabbi overseeing you God hates you why does he ha you because you could live 70 years being a k without even knowing it why because you have too much gav to check yourself so he says now if you arrive to the wrong conclusion you continue building on it you arrive that this is kosher in reality it's not Kosher it's not kosher but you keep not only eating it you recommend it to the whole neighborhood no go ahead eat you start selling it you start marketing it you start giving it to the world you put it on Facebook you put it on Google you put you're selling this it's not but you arrive at the wrong conclusion that's what happens Arts call gives you the right basic conclusion basic conclusion that's the now if why is it because if you're getting theat and you're getting to the correct way it's the same price it's the same thing it's the same product it's it's still kosher you still sell it as the same thing but if it's without it you're risking losing the whole thing you risk arriving at the wrong conclusion why would you arrive at the wrong conclusion because of what the was talking about in the very same I just gave you no the same that explained to you what art scroll is is the same that told you no you got nothing you got nothing [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Music]
