In Defense of Artscroll (3) Being Murdered In Public For Teaching Pshat

[Music] so for anyone who hasn't listened so far the key is that there are unfortunately many people that go to and they don't learn about they learn about insulting people instead so they make fun of people that learn from art schull the publisher because art schull provides you commentary and it makes it a little easy iier to read the and uh understand it but not understand all the secrets and everyone that learns the art school are going to become a cabalist understand basic level so people are saying no no you should learn the tougher way and do this and do that so as I always told you guys the Hashem is so perfect that he provides the Cure before you ever knew that you could even be sick now 11 years ago 11 years ago my wrote an answer about this specific thing and published it in all 11 years ago this is he was 17 years old all the yes accepted this answer not one Rabbi went against him send it to yes didn't send it to a few friends send the answer to all the yes giant yes everyone accepted this answer no one said one thing about it he wrote this answer and he published it later on when he published one of his many books how good is it Israel it's a in the Tor and here I think you have I give it to okay so this is good to read so in he has about 11 11 about this specific issue it says he calls this this he goes into details I'm not going to go into all the details he says the people that spend too much time going and trying to do p which is like looking into the details of the details of the details of the details not for to know what the AL is not to know what the secret is but for the purpose of mental stimulation which is good it's not necessarily A Bad Thing but he says here that the major have said that to some extent if if they're not corrected these people then they end up doing so much digging that they end up learning nothing and whatever they learn is wrong anyway one of them happens to be in this specific situation when these people go and they actually start making fun of anyone that's learning in a different he says I heard you know that's what you know people say I heard they don't they don't say oh yeah for sure there in the world so I heard a distant hearing that there are some people that dare not only say that their way is the only way the best way but they make fun of any other way of learning this is an Essence the same exact thing of what's happening with people from yes that say anyone that's learning in a different way is wrong AR scroll or any other way he says I heard such a thing he says he says a bunch of things about it and I'll read you a few uh thing goes first and foremost these people need to understand that someone that speaks such things they create a lot of Anguish in sham and that anguish and Sh eventually leads to suffering here for who for them because they're not keeping their mouth someone that keeps their mouth clean keeps their body away from away from from from suffering and he gives you all types of verses he says ultimately the biggest thing of what's Happening Here is that these people are they're canceling people out but it already says in the in himself becomes P he himself himself becomes nak kosher by go making fun of other people why why such a big thing goes because because these other ways of studying is good for them it's still toah they're still getting to the basic understanding they're still getting to know what's going on they're still learning t for Tora they're not learning t for uh any other re so what you're doing is that you're discouraging somebody from learning T you are causing not only but you're causing t t in the it says someone T brings death penalty to the world not just for him for people creates war in a nation and he says a lot of other things but one of the best things that I found out from is that the answer to all of this doesn't even need to be in my book it's actually in the it's in the page 63 page 63a answers anyone that goes against a different of learning some people say listen you know you should learn thear the way it's written and not learn it in art scroll because art scroll gives you a uh a English translation you should learn thear in its language which is a combination of Hebrew and Aramaic this couldn't be further from the truth why because the only thing you're supposed to learn in its language if it's possible is the written Torah why because the written Tor has Secrets within the language itself which we'll learn shortly the actual learn the actual itself is for the purpose of the is to learn what it means not the letters not how it's written bottom line what isem saying here what are the saying here what is the What's Happening Here not why is it written with this letter why is it written with that letter why is this sentence no no no this has nothing to do with the oral tah nothing to do with it that's the r you're talking about the you learn it in a language you understand which by the way is the reason why somebody like myself is very sad to say sometimes I have people that come to me they've been learning in Yeshiva for 25 years they come for one sh they say listen how do you know all of it you only been studying for a few years I learned Yeshiva 25 years I don't know 5% I said it has nothing to do with me it's all but still the that you read I read it a 100 times I didn't understand anything I said what language you read it in he said I learning it in uh whatever it says I said do you understand aric do you understand the Hebrew he goes yeah you know I have a this I have a that I'm like yeah but you understand like you understand English goes oh I understand I'm like let me ask you question when you dream you go to sleep go to sleep what language do you dream in what language B what language do you dream in that's how you know by the way what's your first language what language do you dream in every time not just once in a blue moon every time what language do you dream in when you talk to somebody you're talking to the fish you're talking to the zoo animal of some other kind whatever some ghost you're talking to whoever you're talking to in your crazy dream what language are you speaking he says I speak English I said so you have to read in English my friend yes it's good to learn the other languages but not if you don't understand it if you understand the Aramaic just like you understand English do it but if you don't if you read a whole you whole you don't understand what's going on you waste your time give me a source here's a source page 63 says said when I was 18 years old eight years of age I learned the entire he learned the already by the time he was 18 years old which means much more than us learning at any age because for them to learn and TMA means he already knew it completely and he says but I never knew that a verse ever departs from theat from the plain meaning until now until I learn it from now that I learn it but until now I never knew that there was something Beyond theat I never knew I thought that whatever it says that's what you learn there's no like Secrets there's no exegesis and and you know figuring things out the secrets says I learned the basics what's the here so what is why is this WR that he didn't know this for so many years for two years for 10 years for 20 years what's the big deal why is this written in the this written for a reason says why is this written in what lesson are we learning from here we're learning from ra he's trying to teach us that first a person must learn the basic for what it means then after he knows and he's comfortable with the entire only then can he even consider reasoning and P and digging in and going for this and going for that and going for the secret and trying to figure no no no first understand the entire as it is basic which means you have to understand what it says my man you have to understand what it says you learning the same d for three and a half years thinking you're KES K you're just an idiot why cuz you learn one page for three years there's still 2,665 more pages so this is most important thing is to learn theat Arts grow gives you theat first finish the sh finish the entire basic once twice more after you're comfortable with with it then you can start learning it in different languages original language this language that language whatever but first learns what it says you can't tell me I've been learning for 25 years and I still don't know the difference between white and blue so all these people that go against Arts quot they're going against the Torah they're going against the why because this is just to learn the basic and if you have a wrong translation of theat of the basic meaning everything else you're going to build on top of it as we said yesterday is rotten it's go it's wrong cuz if the foundation is rotten eventually the building you build on top of it will collapse so here what's the result what's the outcome what does r FR what does r FR say about such people where does it all stem from he says this all stems from the people that are making fun of anybody learning Torah what does it stem from it stems from two things one Pride they think they're better than everybody else apparently they haven't read this m that says you can't judge people in such a way and make fun of them regardless of the doesn't matter you not have to make fun of people to they missed and he says why so how come they don't know this they learned they go TOA 25 years this that why he says in the book he says in the book book he says because they're so busy making fun of other people and so busy focusing on the one page for the entire three months four months five months they only learned one page two pages three pages three months that they never actually got to the 63rd page of they never read the actual because they're still busy on the first page so from your Pim you end up doing B from the p you ended up confused hat Reon the guy hates me for no reason a lot of people just destroy their world so that's the thing the problem is that people are are M putting theira at risk every day for no reason no reason just learn do what you got to do you don't agree with somebody else you don't agree with somebody else you don't have to agree with everybody in the world but to start making fun of people in public why why why make making fun of people in public put their names out there destroy them destroy personalities defame them embarrass them why for what for what what are you gaining out of it m what's what what what benefit you get out of it what everybody tells you haaha with you don't you know don't you know there's a rule in the so the asks why is it that someone that embarrasses another person in public has no share of the world to come so my answers says because he committed murder what is means he makes his his face white why all the all the from embarrassment all the blood rushed out of his face and if he didn't have cheeks all of the blood would split into he would die all the blood from his entire body would come out of his face so you have to thank godm gave him cheeks you just committed murder 100% says yeah okay fine it's no problem but says okay fine no problem but what happens here is that for murder somebody murdered it's it's punishment death penalty but he still has share of the world to come you're saying that someone that's that embarrasses another person in public has no share of the world to come but it's like murder so how is it that murder itself still Hasa and like murder has no it's a worst punishment so says the one that murdered the next day he realizes he just killed somebody he realizes it's not good he has a conscience he's still human he's not he's not a tiger or or a lion if he's a normal person he's not completely crazy there's some part of it that feels bad if he gets caught even more gets uh punished Goes to Jail something happens if he kills somebody in this country he goes to jail for for 5 10 years if he steals a million dollars 30 years minimum stupidest country in the world but that's the law he steals money he goes to jail pretty much for the rest of his life he kills five six people goes to jail for 10 years if he's got a good lawyer five years FL execute you Texas there's only a couple of uh states in the country that have a little bit of common sense so anyway but the Torah asks here why is it the guy that murdered Hasa punished but Hasa the guy that did something like a murder embarrass somebody in public no it's like a murder should be less if anything should be less so says the guy that murdered he feels bad a little bit he suffers a little bit because he knows at the end of the day he murdered somebody the guy that did went against the rabbi in public went against the regular person in public started embarrassing his waiter in public embarrassed his wife in front of the kids embarrassed the student things whatever he did he does not only he doesn't feel bad he feels he's right he didah he did Aah like this T that made the recording against me recently what happens what does he do I'm comfortable saying it simply because I know no one's gonna ever find him what is he doing he's doing it for to fight the to fight the lies so he publicizes my name and tells everybody I don't know what I'm talking about and I'm this and I'm that and I never did this I never did that murders me in public what happened I what happened what you doing what are you doing he feels he's right he feels he's not only right he's doing he's doing he's doing something good that's why says such a person if he doesn't do such a person why because he's never going to suffer for it he's never going to say I'm sorry for it even in 40 days of nothing he's never going to be 40 years 50 years 7 years on Earth every year say say I'm sorry say I'm sorry what you say what say I'm sorry for for what what should I be sorry for I didn't I embarrass your own ruven in public now he knows better I embarrassed Arch call in public I embarrassed all theim David Feinstein I went against all of them I was of the generation I did he's never not only doesn't feel bad he's proud of what he did he's proud of what he did don't be mean to people it starts with small sin starts by being mean to the guy that just showed up to the for the first time it starts by being mean to the average guy Jew non-jew Rich poor male female don't be mean don't be mean it's the basic level he's not talking about you have to be this you have to be that was basic human being don't be mean to anyone you have no there's nothing resourceful or productive out of it it's only going to bring you bad it's only going to bring you suffering it's only going to put your in jeery why and never be such a person that makes fun of other things and get to a point where eventually you think you're running the show why because everyone else will get their time to shine he everyone else will get their time to shine [Music]
