[Music] mama said the question is how come there was a made a Tak that um the day of the inauguration of the BET mikdash was Yip but he says this is such a big day that uh we're not GNA we don't have we don't have to fast we don't have to fast and everyone ate a big Feast on that day and discusses this where some people were very scared wait a minute we just ate on it's maybe we took it too far maybe we should have eaten M Shabbat maybe we should have eaten tomorrow why we da have to do with that and they didn't listen you know they didn't have a 100% Comfort listening to says this is this day is such a big day we just put a house for a In This World by putting this house by putting this bet mikash in the world and having a place for the to be at all times that is the ultimate tun of the world Yip is a t for that year but to have the we can do CH every day on the spot we can know what hem wants every day on the spot we can fix everything every day on the spot why we have the mdash the here it's such a big day that Yip could be skipped this year that was D and the people had a uncomfortable uncomfortable time listening to this D because it was so far so in order to fulfill his own words where kadh says that he makes the uh the the righteous right among the public meaning if is say something even if that something is wrong hem will make it right hem will make it right I'll give you guys a example it's actually one of the things I wanted to talk about where you'll understand what is because that's actually one of the problems that we have today is that people think that if let's say RAV kvki says something or the S his father said something when he was alive or Shalom said something or when he said something or someone that's even alive today but is a he said something you can just say I don't have to listen to him I can maybe listen to somebody else like the doctor said everybody has to wear a mask Kanki said that uh you don't have to wear a mask if you're learning tah if you're learning to the specific people that he was talking to you don't have to wear a mask no but rki no way doctor's no more than rki so people have a misunderstanding of rki and Doctor why they think that the doctor knows better than love kki cuz he's a doctor so the mistake is is that people compare the Torah to secular subjects and this is also part of the reason of why many people in perhaps let's say the modern Orthodox world and the uh just regular secular World um have a impossible time being glued to hasem as he wants it but rather customize the Torah to fit their own life you know they accept Shabbat but whenever they feel like it they accept K but their own standards not standards why because they don't think that the opinion of the the opinion of the is really a you know firm opinion of AEM they think he is human I am human the ram is human I am human so why should I listen to him that's the mistake now to take it even deeper before we get to the answer the in page 13 says there's between and there over 300 between and something around 360 between them most of them goes like most of them say that in it goes like after mashia comes most of them but need needless to say the here says that is like in this particular but both this and this are the words of the Living God so this is confusing why if they're both words of the Living God how why is why is he let right why is shouldn't it be both of them if it's both the words of hasem why is there m this question was asked over 800 years ago almost 700 years ago by the the on comments on this it says the between where the says that both word both of these words are the words of the Living God yet so the question is how could both be the words of the Living God if the is like one of them whether it's doesn't make a difference but how could they both be the words of the Living God and the answers one of the most important questions and answers that we have to understand Judaism and the right ideology AEM left certain judgments open for the to conclude and P to become to the point where there's a rule of meaning that there are certain that we do not learn from sh but rather we only learn from the the have to P in on this issue because did not give us the Torah complete rather he left certain parts of it open for interpretation BYU by the until this day to make us partners in itah so much so that there are certain things that happen in the and a says this is what the is and said no we don't learn from buts we learn from the rules that hasem gave us in Mount Si of how we we don't learn the Torah from Heaven this way we learn it based on the principles that hasem gave us M of how to and unless there's something that's black and white that we already know from that we know there are certain things that left open for interpretation by the that are using these rules in order to P so much so the continues that once the pass in here this becomes the in sh meaning if let's say the sh that hm left interpretation but obviously hm knows what the is let's say he picked red he picked red in sh but he left it for interpretation for here and used the tools that they have that gave us and they arrived at Blue they arrived Al is blue at that moment changes why that's the rule that's the rule that he instilled into the world now to give an example of this to give an example of this the mid comments on the verse in the Book of Psalms chter 57 verse number three it I will call upon God most high to The God Who fulfills for me where the mid says that this verse is where tells us that when you call upon him you honor him you fulfill his tah you learn you toil it it is God who fulfills for me meaning that AEM agrees with the with their even if his originally that he left for us for interpretation even if his Pak is different he fulfills our words meaning he now repas and Sh because of what the did over here and the mid says there's an example there's a rule in itar that says that if a little girl has a accident orom gets raped and uh before the age of 3 years old and obviously this breaks the Hyman now the says the concluded that if it's before 3 years old the Hyman reconstructs and comes back at as if nothing ever happened if it obviously it stops doesn't continue again after three if it's let's say happens before 3 years old Hashem built the world in such a way that the uh Hyman will reconstruct and when she is older as if as if nothing happened but if it happens after 3 years old if the hman is broken after 3 years old that's it it remains broken remains broken so then ask okay but what about a a leap year a why because a it's when we have we add seven times every 19 years they add a second adal know two ads there one adal but they add ad bit now who decides this the rabbis the sages decided not hasem hasem hasem left it for us and the Sages decid put a mathematical calculation until Masia comes that we already know ahead of time every year that's going to have two ad but back in the times of the they used to decide this based on the uh based on their own calculations at real time now we already have it known for for until mashia comes but at that time they used to conclude when the month began when the month ended based on the Moon based on the renewal of the moon but that also means that that the sanedrin would decide which year they would add a 13th month and this was happened seven times every 19 years this is you see all the details of this now the question is when it pertains to this rule that's a physical rule meaning there's a physical thing here there's a girl and something physical happened there a trauma happened there an accident of some kind it broke Ayman but you're saying that if she's below 3 years old it reconstructs if she's above three it doesn't reconstruct so what happened if the day of her birthday the the mid says the day of her birthday the day she turns three the Sedin pins no we are going to have a second a ad we're going to add on that moment we're going to add a month so technically technically she's 3 years old for an she's Less Than 3 years old for another month she's still technically in her twos so does the hman take that into consideration mid says absolutely AEM changes nature and will reconstruct this girl physically for the sake of showing the right that's how valuable that is in the eyes of a that's how valuable it is so when we see that is glued to AEM you see that they are what is do that mean Glu to hem you're Glu to people that think that they could just connect to hem and ignore the just like listen to them when they want not listen to them when they don't want they have no idea what they're talking about there is no such thing as an intermediary in Judaism but are not intermediaries are simply telling you what Hashem said because you don't know what he said because you did not toil over the Torah for all of the Decades that they had you cannot interpret the Torah like they can and that's the reality if you think you can then ego is your problem because is willing to change nature for the he's not necessarily willing to change nature for some Average Joe because those there're his Representatives they're the ones that he relies on to give the message to the rest of us and there they there such favor in his eye he loves the so much that he literally changes the world for them they say something he fulfills it and this is one of the most valuable things that a person needs to know when they're asking a someone that ask or perhaps a g they're asking a question and the response that they got doesn't sit well with them take that opinion of yours that tells you this response doesn't sit well with you take it crumble it inside a little piece of paper put some oil on it cooking oil or the oil from the car whichever one you prefer whatever's whatever's faster access then take a match perhaps maybe lighter depending on your preference put them in a bucket so it doesn't cause a big fire and burn that opinion of yours burn it as soon as possible why your opinion doesn't matter if you asked a a question and he gave you an answer according to the Torah you do it just like as if God said to do it why because now that you've asked a question and he gave you an answer Ain like him I'll give you an example somebody came to rki he said I'm about to retire in some months and I was wondering whether I should take all my pension money and buy a house in this C such and such Community ra kanvi says to him come back to me when you have the money now Kanki is not much of words he doesn't he doesn't have conversations with people you know says a few things finished next the guy gets up confused more confused than he was before says why iski telling me come back when I have the money is he really telling me that I'm not going to get the money that after 30 40 years of working for this company they're really not going to give me my pension the whole thing is a fraud I'm going to lose everything what's going to happen I don't know why did he say it oh so for the next several months he doesn't know where to go doesn't know what to do he can't wait to get this money but he doesn't have access to it yet after several months finally he retires and he gets the money he comes back Toki he says I got the money Kanki says good you should buy the house he said but why couldn't the tell me six months ago Kanki says to him six months ago it was a hypothetical question because you didn't have the money in your hand so I didn't have the the special assistance from Heaven to tell you the right answer I only had my opinion but now that it's a question that's actual because you have the money in hand you ask me a question I'm giving you an answer and I'm relying on the fact that hasem is the one that's putting the words in my mouth for your sake because now it's an actual question it's a realistic question it's a question of right now it's not a hypothetical question anymore so now I have the answer for you 6 months ago I didn't have an answer for you now I have an answer for you you ask a something it's a real question he give you an answer you don't like the answer that's too bad why if you are not going to listen to the answers don't ask questions don't ask questions and this is one of the things that hurts a lot of people because they look for Rabbi Noah you know what rabi Noah is right because every he no no is not only no from the from the Torah no also means comfort so they're looking for the rabbi that is going to give them the most Comfort meaning whatever is comfortable for you so what did he say do it no it's not comfortable for me what did he say maybe that's not so comfortable for me what he say no do whatever you want oh I like this guy this guy's he told me I can do whatever I want this guy K give me a hand let me kiss it let me kiss it why he told me I can do whatever I want this is says this guy is's like no no RAB no rabi no so that's the thing you have to understand loves the loves the because they invest their whole life invest their whole life for the sake of the to all day and when a person understands that he asks a question he receives an answer and he goes with it same thing with girls obviously same thing next question we're almost done we
