Rabbi Yechiel Spero Honorable Mentchen

hello everybody and i'd like to thank you for joining me here on the kazakh line kazakh of course has transformed yiddish kite for many years but especially over the last 15 months as we are emerging from kovid barak hashem i want to thank them for continuing to give me and the rest of claudius roll opportunities to grow and tire and your shamayim may they continue to have much uh success and enjoyment in doing what they do for many years to come i'd also like to thank chickens for shabbos which is exactly what it says it's chickens for shabbos you and i take for granted that we're able to have chicken every shabbos i remember one time going to somebody in her tissue and there was one piece of chicken that was served and the children were so happy that i would eat the chicken i'll tell you i felt like two cents eating that piece of chicken but they insisted they were so happy that the guests the irish could have chicken and i encourage you to think about that for a moment and to donate to chickens for shabbos thank you so much um tonight i will talk to you about lag ba einer and lag baamer is one of the joyous days on the jewish calendar after 32 days of mourning when we mourn the 24 000 tell me everybody akiva we now begin a period of joy as we ascend as we begin our climb towards our sinai 24 000 tell me that i once made a hajj man i calculated that 750 tau medium who were good island 750 of them died every single day can you be mastered such a thing and they died because like who covered zaba said they did not treat each other with honor with covet it's not like that they were spitting at each other it's not like they were calling each other names they weren't being merchable one another when you're somebody that means you're going out of your way to do something to show him honor and they were lacking in that and because of that they would not be those who transmitted terror to the next generation those 24 000 would be wiped out and akiva would start again with five talmudim of course one of them is the great sadek rabbi shimon baria whose yard site not coincidentally is of course online there's other events that happened online that are important to note and we'll come back to that for instance the mun began to fall on lakbaimer the mon people that wanted to receive the torah could only do so it was a prerequisite for them to be an to eat mon what is the assad what is the secret of man and the torah tells us they didn't know what it was and that's why they called it mon like ma what is it there's a certain humility there it's an understanding that i'm a nobody and hashem gives me everything and if you want to be somebody else you have to treat yourself as a nobody this does not mean that you should lose your self-esteem and your confidence but clapping someone else compared to someone else you should always treat them as the greater one as the one deserving more of your honor and your covet fascinatingly the gematria of covet is 32 of course the gematria of lave corresponding to the first 32 days of svera which lead to the next 17 gematria toiv that's right spheres gematria leif lavtoy 49 and allah we begin the 20th part we've hopefully worked on being the habit one another and that's how we climb towards our sinai it's interesting the gemara does not tell us twenty four thousand tell me them died the gemara tells us that twelve thousand pairs of talmud and died if you wanna learn properly if you want to grow in limu natara and you're sitting and learning and you're listening to what each other says and the only way to learn is if you can listen and the only way to listen is if you understand that you don't have all the answers and then you have russo you're makhab them you show them covets okay so we've started to uncover to peel away the layers and lag of course is the letters gao the pasta contain tells us open my eyes and i will see the secrets of your tired i will see the wonders of your torah only if you open your eyes you know if somebody can only see themselves they see not past their nose they can't possibly see the secrets of the torah when he and his son emerged from the cave his son looked around and everything he saw he burnt up would look at that and he would resurrect it he would bring it back to life and you can look at somebody with disdain you can look at them like and in one look you can put them down into the ground you can belittle them you can make them feel like dust but the same is true with one look you could be recently i put out a book prayer of protection and a guy not a guy a kashmir person called me up and he says one word to me he says rabbi spiro epic why did he think it's epic i sure hope he felt it was epic but with one word he was makayami he was rab shimon bar yochai with one word he was me can you imagine that how much does it take to be makhab in somebody else it's not that hard we can all do it and we need to put our minds to it and just think about it and you'll see we'll be able to do exceptional things in being one another and i'd like to share with you some incredible stories about this very point i begin with the point with the story that happened with reviews who was the great sadiq of you shalom it was the rub of the city in the early 1900s late 1800s early 1900s and the whole world the whole view the chevelle whoever reviewed sukhaim and its greatness and his sid kiss his righteousness and lived in the old city and an if there is a mitzvah of kabbalah means that you go to visit your debbie it used to be in the olden days you go visit the base amiktosh there was a mitzvah la regal you go up to mesa but when the vase was destroyed in place of that we have the mitzvah of kabbalah leonardo to go visit the love of the city to go visit your rebbe to visit another goddamn to visit at sadiq and the people of yusha lion went to go visit the great review in his incredible humility review said to them um probably you're on your way to the case of ravi so nice of you to have stopped by and every person that came in would be so hyen would do the spiel all over again oh so nice of you mustafa you're on your way to the mahravi so nice of you to have have stopped by this went on from early in the morning to late at night anybody who came to visit and somebody asked to be a safayan ready why the spiel why are you pretending he says for a long while this afternoon there was a big saddiq sitting at the table his name rev elio klattskin rebellio cladskin was the reshishiva of yeshiva's oil moisture in the old city and he used to be the albezin of lublin back in europe revellio clotskin was sitting by my table try to stop for a moment and think what it must have felt like everyone's coming to visit me no one's coming to visit him so i said they're not coming to visit me they're on the way to the castle my little house is on the way to the chrysler mount ravi thank you so much for stopping by you're on your way anyway but he wanted to be me wanted to go out of his way to treat the great revellio clatskin with covet not solemn that he should feel a little bit slighted that he should slight his honor understood that's the way you treat a person that's the way you treat every kid that's one mice a second mice the valdega there was a yid by the name of rav kalman erlachman rivkal in erlaqman was a talmud of the baal hasulam who was a great makuba a great sadiq and in 1967 there was a terrible zera a terrible decree against the jewish people what happened they decreed that every dead person should undergo an autopsy now we know that kovid hames is a very very big deal the honor and the dignity and the respect that you have to give a dead person is shy there is no limited to mark up and to cut into a person who dies it's terrible it's a terrible bizarre hamas it's a terrible shame for the dead person and ravkalman when he died they wanted to perform an autopsy and rafael nan is laying there in a bach there's nothing to do there was a yid by the name of review who would later on become the great admirer of ashlag and this year this sadiq he was a young man at the time he decided he is going to stop the autopsy to preserve the covet and the dignity in those days and of course today as well a person dies and you shall i am 24 hours less than 24 hours just before the night passes every person is buried mini this person they would not release the body was a day and a half which is an unimaginably long time but they wouldn't release the body he did not give up and rebound erlachmann who was dead needed a kura and the admirer of ashlag as a young man rubios did everything was in his power and finally finally finally he followed ice he accomplished he was able to free the body and they buried the body that night rivkalmener erlachmann comes in a dream to the admiral of ashlag to this young man and he says to him i promise you i'm going to pay you back you don't have to pay me back what are you talking about why do you have to pay me back he says i promise you i'm going to pay you back he says i didn't look james he says i promise you i will not forget the toyota that you did for me okay now fast forward 50 years 50 years later the admir of ashlag dies and when the admiral died they were looking they wanted to bury him next to his rebbe the bala and they're looking all around can they find the place they go to the khabar khadijah the problem is that in 1955 when the ballast was lifted for all the kwaram around the bala were all bought up by all the talmida and by all the supporters there was no respectable and honorable place where they could bury the admiral of ashland until they said wait we found the place what happened one of the people that bought a plot they had another plot for their son the family didn't know that they had the plot and therefore they bought another plot for the sun and they buried him there while dick they can bury him in a very very special place whose plot was it it was of calming erlechmann's son's plot the one who he had been waiting for to spare him from any design amazed he was the one that upheld the covet the honor and the dignity of rip calm and rip calm and had taka paid him and that's an amazing amazing thing to come from one world to another world to promise that'll pay them back when you know you're covered when you conduct yourself and give and bring honor to somebody else the reborn shalom does not forget it and therefore he made sure that he would receive the honor he deserved when he was buried and now for the third and final story this story has a lot of meaning to me and i'm going to preface it with the following hashem i have an opportunity to speak and whenever you speak you want to knock it out of the park you want to make sure that you did a real great job and you want to impress the crowd and you want to get a yeshikaya afterwards and hopefully they tell somebody else to have slay one person tells the other and hopefully hopefully hopefully you earn yourself a nice reputation listen to the following story rib aaron toisik tells the story about his father his father was a big baldarshin in eric israel in yushalayim and one time they asked them to give a drug show and he called over his son he said like i'd like you to prepare the drusher with me and he sat there and he sat down and he prepared the drushra but it was beautiful but then at the very end of the drusha he said i'd like to be mice if one thing he's preparing the joshua he tells the son i'd like to be myself one little point he says yes what would you like to be myself and he added in a point and his phone son looks at him quizzically and he says to him abba tati that contradicts everything you said it makes no sense he says i think it's i think it's he says time you asked me to come over here and prepare with you to joshua and i'm telling you it makes no sense it's going to make you look foolish they went to give the joshua the father gets up and he gives the joshua and to the absolute puzzlement of his son he says over that final point that contradicts everything that he had said up until that point and the crowds looking at each other and they're bewildered made no sense he finishes the drugstore and all anybody's talking about is the absolute the foolishness the idiocy i mean that he just presented to the island they can't understand it the son was very very he's very upset and he goes over to his father and he says ty don't understand you asked me to prepare the drug show with you you told me your idea i told you that it doesn't make sense i told you that it's going to contradict everything you said i told you that it's going to puzzle the album and they're going to think it's and people are going to tumble about it and he smiles and he says i'm well aware i want to tell you why i did it the person that spoke before me it's a big talmud big sandic but he's not much of a speaker and i had to give the drusha and i thought to myself if i knock it out of the park if i give an incredible draw show all they're going to talk about is how much better i was than him but if there was some way i could say foolishness i could make a fool out of myself i could save him the bazillion i could save him the shame and the disgrace and that makes it all worthwhile we are now on the verge of celebrating lagbone lag bohemia is a time when we have to be know you covered zebraza but it's not enough to just go about your business it's not enough to just be a nice person be merchabit people think about it who needs covet who could who could use a lift lift me up a pick me up who's somebody that would appreciate if i could give them a little bit of honor covered people would say it's kosler it's not like i'm asking you for a dollar it doesn't cost you any money to be makhab in somebody else it's free and not only is it free but the rabbi rishal islam will be you the rabbi shalom will give you covet anybody who runs away from covered was humble and he was very very big on of and he just never thought much of himself or so would have appeared but now the whole world trembles from beloved science what does it hurt to give somebody confident what does it hurt to let someone else go first it's lag by you let's think about it what can we do for others what can we give to others how can we make others feel important and if we do as we begin this climb towards our sinai harsinai was at a mountain but the lowest and the smallest of the mountains the ramona shalom wanted kovira toyota honor for toyota now if you think that you're all that in a bag of chips you're all uh look who i am how can you think of yourself as being lower than the torah swarm tell us you have to make for yourself a rebbe make for yourself a rebbe the going says even if you're bigger than the person make him your rabbi people give him the covet because this way we all know that toyota is bigger than we are i want to wish you all afraid i want to wish you all emits hashem a wonderful climb to harassinai immutes hashem we'll see you there
