we're starting the section on joy char
has sympa very important attribute joy
it is it's the basis for most of what
most people do everybody is looking for
satisfaction everybody's looking for joy
everybody's looking for pleasure the
question is right what type of pleasure
what type of joy what type of
satisfaction are you looking for clearly
the Torah recognizes the value of joy as
being a motivating factor for the things
that we do regarding prayer regarding
study regarding mitzvahs that we do
because God was happy in creating us and
God wants us to be happy thank you with
creation and God also wants us to be
happy with the things that we do which
play our part in maintaining the
creation so therefore joy joy is a
foundation for all the things that we do
in life in general and certainly that's
the case regarding Torah joy happiness
is not necessary measured by smiling
right ear to ear a lot of times people
plaster smiles across their face and
that is no indication whatsoever they're
being really happy in fact very often
people who smile all the time are
usually masking some type of pain or
disquietude inside what we're talking
about with happiness and joy is talking
about a serene internal kind of pleasant
and harmonious feeling of joy and
satisfaction that's what we're talking
about of course there's a room for
Judaism for joy and laughing and smiling
and in weddings you see people have you
know great you know antics of laughing
enjoying and somersaults and everything
like that there's also there's certainly
appointed that but you can't be on that
type of a high all the time the main
thing is to avoid the lows and
unfortunately modern society modern man
goes so much of the the ups and the
downs the ups and the downs erratic
extremes from one to the other living
bipolar lifestyles people aren't happy
dissatisfied with the competition and
with the cutthroat type of social
attitudes that people have on the other
hand in order to get something out of
life
people start injecting themselves with
all types of experiences to help bolster
their joy and their happiness so they go
up and I don't mean necessarily
injecting I mean yeah if you know
looking for things to satisfy them
usually those are fleeting short things
so a person is like in ecstasy for a
short period of time life is ecstatic
and then boom they hit that low again at
that low again at that log in so now
they got to get out of the low so they
have to do something to initiate that
ecstatic state again whether it be
whatever it may be right the tour is
about providing a person with a
lifestyle that's going to give him a
constant healthy and happy high but not
too high unless it's necessary for the
particular circumstance but to avoid the
lows of course everybody has subject to
lowes so Tori had different teachings on
navigating the lows and minimizing the
types of depressing types of things and
thoughts and feelings that a person can
have but but but the best remedy is to
live a lifestyle that is not conducive
to that type of saw in the first place
that's one of the things that the tour
is doing is giving us a pathway towards
achieving happiness that's got the
background for this chapter in orchid
city came unhappiness okay so we're on
char Hachi that's the ninth chapter char
has sympa the gate the gate way to
happiness the gate of happiness ha
simple Amira Zoe's bola Adam mcmath's
Rove shalva bleep Oh bleep Agora this
happiness the type of happiness that
we're talking about comes to a person
through having serenity of heart how
many people can really say they are
serene of heart very few people
everybody's always got a complaint about
not having enough money or not having
enough material comforts or not having
enough friends we're not getting enough
satisfaction out of his or her
relationships so such a person can't be
said to be happy true happiness is
somebody who has a serene happiness in
his heart straight happiness on a zoo or
sheer us
al-ko turkey ova says who is wealthy
somebody who is happy with his portion
somebody's happy with his portion he's
truly wealthy why you're not the most
wealthy person in the world but he's
constantly jealous of his money always
suspicious looking over shoulder who's
trying to get him and get at him for
what and for how much he's constantly
worrying about how not only to increase
as well but just to preserve it in
addition to that he can't rely on most
of the people that he knows for any
genuine companionship because most
people that attach themselves to him or
attaching themselves him for his money
so is constantly concerned about forces
and people from without suspicious of
forces and people from within and what
kind of a happiness is that what kind of
happiness they tell a story about the
very wealthy man who bolstered boasted
yeah but he was so wealthy he might die
of a lot of things but he'd never die of
hunger never die of hunger and then one
day he was walking around in his vaulted
chambers full of the wealth that he had
stored there and lo and behold somehow
the vault door closed on him there's no
way he could open it from inside and
outside nobody knew he was there day
after day until he starved to death all
that wealth all that money all those
jewels all those coins everything that
was stored in there couldn't do a single
thing to keep him alive you know so no
matter how much wealth the person has
there's no ingredient that that's going
to give a person life let alone a good
life and therefore who is truly happy as
somebody who satisfied with his portion
somebody was happy with what he's got
they tell the story about a certain
person he came to the Baal Shem Tov and
he asks the Baal Shem Tov I don't
understand
he says I don't understand how a person
can have a difficult time in life and
still be happy and be satisfied a person
should be poor a person should be
deprived of the basic needs for life and
still be happy how is that possible so
the Baal Shem Tov said to him to tell
you the truth I really don't have a good
answer for you I suggest you go speak to
i believe it was really medic well i
think it was reveal effort maybe the
medical Ajinca i think it was in any
case he goes to this at a rabbi and he
comes to the house and he sees a
broken-down house its dilapidated the
wall the doors are falling off the
hinges the window panes are all broken
it was a wintry day and it started
raining he knocks on the door the nor
near the door nearly fell off the hinges
he's brought inside the rain is raining
in the roof and he sees the person
sitting at a table with a few morsels of
food and he says I was sent here by the
Baal Shem Tov to ask you a question so
he said go ahead ask yes I don't
understand how is it a person could be
semantic elko how is it the person can
be happy with his portion even if he's
got no portion so there's another rabbi
looks around and he looks back at this
person he says for the life of me I
can't understand why the Baal Shem Tov
sent you to me I I have everything I
need so you see he was so happy with his
portion he wasn't even aware of the
poverty wasn't aware of suffering from
that situation and that was the answer
to this person's question if you're
happy with what you've got you're happy
if you're not happy it doesn't matter
how much you got you're not going to be
happy and therefore this is a very key
ingredient a person should be relaxed
and calm and serene and understand that
everything that he has comes from God
it's true if he wants more he can do
something to acquire it he can make some
effort to acquire it but you can't make
yourself Michigan over it either normal
regular starters regular type of effort
and put your prayers in a Shem but that
doesn't mean that you shouldn't be happy
with what you've got right now even if I
would like to change my situation and I
try to effect that change ultimately
isn't a guy in a guide
in God's hands whether that change will
be realized or not but until it's
changed or even if it isn't what I have
to do is be happy and satisfied with my
lot I we say the specifically regarding
material things by the way to finish
high the Great's party commentator of
several generations ago said a beautiful
analogy said in life a person few
himself on a ladder ladder life was like
a ladder he says regarding things of a
material nature you should always be
looking down whatever I have there's
always people going to have much less
than I am so I have to be certainly
happy with what i have right miss topic
for helko right bud regarding spiritual
matters there a person has to look up
never be satisfied with you've gots
spiritual matters don't be happy with
what you've got you should always want
more and therefore look upward and see
what people above you have and aspire to
attain that that that doesn't mean that
you should be happy with the tour that
you have but wish em we're happy with
the tour that we have every person is
happy with the tour that he or she has
learned that we certainly but we should
still there at least aspire for more
never feel like I miss topic lamu on
teaching that says a person should be
good should be satisfied to do it little
that's rewarding material things
regarding mid turret things you should
be happy to get by with a little
spiritual things the sky is the limit so
he says you're there for then happiness
and the tour perspective is not this
overflowing effervescent bubbling type
of you know laughing all the time joy
happiness that's not the point in so
there's a room for laugh and a joke and
tour that's certainly true but happiness
true happiness is that serene fulfilling
of fulfillment inside valdam amazing
tavo so Volare a load over hammad seva
so bizarre hey Samir toddler a person
who has his desires fulfilled and
nothing unfortunate or sad happens to
him this will certainly make him happy
all the time will you open off this will
cause his face to be illuminated happy
the Ziva mavic and his kind of
countenance is is a luminescent the Gulf
of Bari his body is going to be healthy
the Ames ignominious love or love and
old age will not quickly happen to such
a person the person who's in a state of
joy either because the needs are
fulfilled or as far as he's concerned
everything he needs is really fulfilled
yeah so such a person will be not only
have peace of mind but he'll also have a
pleasant and illuminate countenance he's
going to have a healthy attitude in life
which is also going to make his body
healthy as well a person was upset and
depressed is heavy a person's heavy so
his physiological systems are also heavy
and his digestion is a heavy and doesn't
judge justice food properly and all the
energy that we should otherwise go into
alacrity and speed and light and and
swiftness and flexibility all of that
becomes sedate and fixed so the person
becomes heavy and over time that kind of
mental emotional weight takes its toll
on a person it really makes a person not
only mentally and emotionally but even
physically unhealthy but a person who is
generally happy and healthy has this
type of serene sense of the filament
he's going to be able to go through life
with much more energy and is also going
to be have much more longevity yeah so
it's not coincidental that you see my
great Torah scholars who've committed
their entire lives to learning Torah
live to the ripe old age of 100 and so
years old why because not only do they
physically live a happy life style but
they're content with Torah the energy is
coming more from spiritual than physical
which has much more longevity than
physical things anyway and propels the
person through life of course our rabbis
who had shorter lives we find the
opposite dogs also sometimes very great
rabbis died around the age of 40 38 39
40 the unresolved for example rivi
nachman of breslov there's any say Romo
ha yes rampal emotional tato yeah so
that that's a separate phenomenon you
know that has to do with the fact that
when a person fulfills his tikkun in
life the reason why he was created
purpose for having been created he
fulfills that purpose he realizes that
potential so there's no point in being
in this world any longer on the contrary
for the soul to be here long
necessary that's causes unnecessary
suffering for the soul once a person's
done what he needs to do in order to
perfect whatever needs to be perfected
for his soul that soul is ready to be
liberated and elevated into the next
round and keeping the body the soul in
this world would be a form of
imprisoning that soul in this realm more
than is necessary so it's intervene we
do find that very often great siddiqui
very righteous people expired at this
relatively young age by the way rabbi
aryeh kaplan in modern times also this
is an example of somebody who attained a
great degree of torah knowledge through
all of different areas of torah well
more mishnah more'n Midrash Enzo are in
Kabbalah and Hasid asst and everything
hollow ha he also expired it at that age
but in any case generally speaking a
person who lives this lifestyle of peace
and quiet and in certain serenity is
going to have a longer more healthy life
as well veins ignominious level of
commotion and why's it says live sameach
natives gay huh let's amend a happy
heart will benefit and elevate a person
and that's really true a person who's
kind of like elevated person who's happy
feels himself much more like I said
leiter a person who's depressed and
upset you find it kind of it weighs them
down but a person who is happy is that
profess int is lively is energetic and
that's clearly going to be much more
healthy state for person I mean the
simpler yo votes call Claude um and
through joy there will also come
laughter to a person they knowingly ish
maskil the highboy spits hook on the
other hand it's not but it's not
advisable for an enlightened intelligent
person to be laughing all the time you
have people who constantly to a joke a
good joke is nice from time to time but
a person just a joke after joke after
joke and it's all just a joke and a
laugh another opportunity to crack a
joke and get another laugh right even if
it's even if it's in the context of
Torah arguably that's really not what
it's all about a person the Gomorrah
says it's supposed to open up a tour
lecture with some joke in order to warm
up people's hearts and get them kind of
in tune with what's being taught but
some point you've got to get around to
learning sometimes you know even
sometimes even even even rabbinic
personalities will have a tour lecture
be more like a stand-up comedian than an
actual tour like and then obviously
they're doing that for a reason it
probably appropriate for that particular
scenario that particular audience or
whatever but in general person has to be
happy and happiness brings laughter but
you can't take laughter too far either
keema's cloak mr. tothis da Scola
because with laughter with frivolity you
have mixed in like lightness of heart
commotion in Mars it says kohlhaas
cerium tonka socia can slow cook seal
like the laughter of i guess like coals
underneath like the laughter of coals
underneath a pot so is the laughter of
the foolish person all of his laughter
and all their jokes is all about Fanning
the fuels of frivolity and that's
clearly not that's not the purpose here
look for NMR and furthermore it said
Moyes is a short day should psychic
bencomb Shayna Rowley bow let's hook one
of the indications of an idiot of a fool
as a person who laughs when there's it's
not appropriate to laugh sometimes you
have that like somebody will say
something all of a sudden they did I was
like that was really stupid that was
very inappropriate the person thought he
was telling a good joke right it's a
sign person tells a joke when it's
inappropriate I'm thinking he's going to
get gender laughter and even if he
doesn't jendra laughter but at that time
is it appropriate so that's a sign of
foolishness so clearly the joy and the
happiness that we're talking about has
to be tempered it's not talking about
any type of joy an expression of
happiness at all times rather this type
of pure pristine spiritual type of glow
that's the type of joy that we're
talking about van rooy the Michigan o
Musa at least knock boots Hawk the most
show voice Obama modos with Nehru and
it's not befitting for somebody who acts
according to decorum to proper ethics to
be sitting around
wasting his time with people are telling
jokes all the time and laughing Misha
Roth's apoco someone who's laughing too
much miss might know he actually causes
the reduces the fear of heaven fun him
he kind of diminishes his fear of heaven
so you can have a person whose God fury
but he spends too much time telling
jokes so look slowly but surely he's
going to make him say he's lively likely
to become a scoffer like nokomis golfer
Kiba shas its hook and your call doc sho
shoe me on a sham inshallah when his
laughing again we're talking about just
telling like stupid you know nonsensical
jokes even if they're funny but a person
who who's like laughing all visit hey
he's not thinking about your trim I'm
think about get yourself laughing and
you can't stop laughing laughing pedo
you can't stop your stomach starts
hurting right your muscles are cramped
because you're lying you can step that
that's obviously not healthy laughter
right it's on it's on the controllable
you basically flashed control basically
they have groups now where you need and
the purpose of the group is just to
start laughing somebody starts laughing
right hey laughs any of that it lasts
before you know it the whole room is
like roaring with laughter and this is
supposed to be therapeutic it could be
maybe it is therapeutic you know maybe
you do have to like let off some tension
and let off some steam and laughter is
probably a good way to do that
exercising is also a good way of doing
it listening to music it is good way of
doing it yeah but the point is right
even if you do one of these laughter
seminars and even it from time to time
like you enjoy a good joke you want to
sit around and have a good time that's
fine but when it's delineating right
everything a good measure when I tell it
a good joke you want to hang out with
the guys and have a beer and tell some
jokes and have to have a good time as
long as doesn't can become like
inappropriate and rude and crude that's
okay you know but not all of the time
you have to most of the time a person
has to be serious and take his studies
seriously kiba chances hook and your
collection of shamira chimayo love
lehenga yeah Steve Aldama SATs
emotionally scarred for sure oh you can
a lone grove oh ha there mr. Keck and
therefore person has to work very hard
also to acquire friends who were not
like uncontrollable laughter yeah and he
says it's not only regarding a friend
been writing a rabbi
it's interesting I said that before you
know it's a bit reluctant to say that
but here you see the author himself says
that a person who's looking for a friend
are looking for a rabbi should find a
friend or a boy who's not like overly
emphasizing laughing and joking all the
time that's not that's not the true path
shamima lo yesh ft the soy tu mensaje
kim Veloz the Prophet Jeremiah said I
did not sit among the scoffers and laugh
and be jovial and have fun with all of
them sieve and see if it's written
furthermore be called active ta muy saw
the whole debt savvier musa a person
should actually rather be a little more
on the serious side than on the
light-hearted side yeah a little more
serious than then than an airhead paid
sonic sign the the second paragraph
barbados yesh miss him clubs coke
remember the whole pattern in the book
he brings a whole series of attributes
and they're usually brought in pairs
each one of a pair is either generally
negative or generally positive even if
it's generally negative or generally
positive it still has some of the other
character so for example happiness will
have a lot of good qualities but they're
going to be some attributes of happiness
which a person which could be
potentially negative a person has to be
concerned about so like all with like
with all the other attributes here is
expressing some of the negative sides of
happiness that you have to be aware of
he says harm a rose yes but simpler hook
there are a lot of potential bad which
can come out of this overly expressed or
inappropriate form of joy and laughter
come on Samantha nixle Herrera
American beginner pick a rock we pick it
all up for example if something happens
to somebody else something bad happens
to somebody else very often a person you
have to admit it can be happy about that
even if you don't laugh and make a joke
out of it but you might be happy in your
heart that that person trips up might be
happy your heart the person trips up
let's say you have a sheer full of
people and one guy among all the others
seems to be more advanced not that he's
hard or arrogant about it but the fact
of the matter is that he's able to
answer most questions right most
so it's natural that most people in the
shear are gonna feel a certain degree of
like jealousy night it's natural one
time he answers a question and he's
totally off and the rabbi may because
he's so used to this guy being on the on
the ball on the mark is really like
upset how could he say something and his
response might also be perhaps
inappropriate but he might like without
thinking about it say something so now
this guy answered wrong and he gets
clobbered over the head by the rabbi for
doing so how many people in room are
probably likely feeling ah he deserves
it he doesn't really deserve it it's not
like he was arrogant right or holding
himself over others because of his
ability to answer properly but just time
after time he was he understand it he
answered probably other people are gonna
feel very often other people who built
happy in their hearts for the fact that
this guy slipped up that's wrong ah but
everybody got a chuckle out of it and
it's just not good old fun right no cuz
it was obviously the motivation is bad
we'd be different of course if this guy
was arrogant and he was constant trying
to put other people down and he was
always trying to race to be the first
and race to be the best and he was doing
so with a negative competitive fashion
so that would be a different story you
know but plenty of times and this is
just one scenario that we're likely to
experience in accounting here in the
Shiva but all it all the time it happens
all the time people slip up people mess
up top type of situation a person like
will laugh or chuckle or at least kind
of be happy in his heart that this guy
tripped and fell on his face yeah that's
obviously wrong vazi never regarding
this it says been full of it altus mark
in the downfall of your enemy don't
rejoice don't rejoice even when it's
your enemy any false you're not supposed
to rejoice all the more so when it's not
somebody who's your enemy your fellow
Jew but it does something let's say
awkward or something that and all of a
sudden becomes a laughingstock it's
wrong today you have to control your
laughter the poor guy was that you know
going to lunch room he got some lunch
and he slipped and he fell and now he's
like all on the floor and his food is on
top of him underneath him everything
else and people start laughs that's
horrible
a guy night the poor guy of course it's
funny in a certain level but you have to
be able to control yourself that's wrong
you have ten people standing over him
laughing yeah and none of them have been
down and help pick them up all right
because it's funny stop laughing and
start thinking about what you can do to
help rectify the situation Voddie are
simple ramos you have a type of joy
which even worse than this kumho SMF
cachaca Veronique shall devote a sabores
book oh so may have beneath you do so
for example not if a person just messes
up in general regarding mundane things
but if it messes up regarding spiritual
things yeah he puts on filling and he
puts it on the wrong arm or he puts it
on backwards or whatever and so somebody
made some snide nasty remark about how
little this guy knows what kind of
business that he's trying to serve a
sham he's trying to fulfill the midst of
a filling so he messes up so that's a
reason to like cut into the guy and an
embarrassing or make snide remarks and
more often than that when we do that
it's because we ourselves feel insecure
and we found an opportunity to be a
rabbi all of a sudden right I can be a
rabbi why because I two months in no
more than this beginner what kind of
business is that so you see you're
actually trying to laugh and gain some
type of pleasure oh and elevate yourself
by pointing out somebody else's fault
that's obviously evil that's obviously
wrong that's not the type of laughter
we're talking about by the way there's a
puss like and share Sheeran which says
dlugo Ally Ahava excuse me dig Lowell I
ova the Jewish people talk about got you
know share sharing song of songs is
portrayed as like a love song between a
man and a woman it's allegorically
representative of the relationship
between the Jewish people and a Shem and
therefore it's this type of a love song
this profession of love between God and
the Jewish people in the Jewish people
in God so the Jewish people say about
God vide glow alya hava that God's degil
which is like a flag or a banner it's a
banner which I hold up lovingly with
love the D glow alive
I hold up uphold his banner lovingly
that's what God says that's what the
Jewish people say about God do tomorrow
says that the same verses recited by God
about the Jewish people differently God
doesn't say the glow Allah Allah but
rather when God is talking about the
Jewish people he says the dlugo alya not
dig low but dlugo reversing of the words
what's the difference Big L is the
banner that's what we hold up for Shem
what is a sham hold up for us I d-loop
what is it d Luke when a person messes
up when a person is serving a sham he's
dava kneeing he's doing a mitzvah but he
slurs the words or he leaves out the
words he doesn't pronounce them properly
or he doesn't mitzvah but he doesn't do
it properly his hearts in the right
place but he fumbles through it so God
says regarding that deal go Alli ova I
love that I love that God says how cute
that's adorable it's like when a kid
starts talking and he reverses the words
right and he says I don't know instead
of ice cream he says hi Serena whatever
you know something like that has it oh
that's so cute is it to say that again
now if a 20 year old did that you're
like this guy's got a problem right but
when it's a baby you're like do it again
do it again you want to prompt the kid
that's hood that's how God sees are
messing up until that because because
we're like his kids were like his
children were like his babies and when a
Shem sees us no matter how educated no
matter how experienced but when we mess
up so that's like beloved in God's eyes
that's beautiful oh that's so sweet I
love that and therefore God sees this
beginning and putting on tefillin but he
puts it on the wrong arm or it puts it
on backwards and we're laughing at him
what a fool what a novice but a green
yeah and God is laughing in dearly
that's beautiful oh that's that's one
did you see what my son just did if
we're not as filling backwards that's so
cute do it again he loves that yeah if
it's sincere from your heart so we
should laugh at somebody who's doing
something which is so endearing in the
shams eyes and therefore it's very
careful not to laugh or to scoff about
people who are doing things wrong that's
certainly in the mundane plane in
the more so if it's talking about things
having to do with the photos a ship
Marshall he gives an example I gave an
exemplar to let's see the author gives
an example so it's shatov him for
example you should know evide sean aslam
alikum una if you have a scenario where
a servant is serving his master
faithfully yesh lalit stare be also an
awesome Hamilton bad annoyed the mcafee
muscle this servant who serves his
master faithfully will actually feel
pain and anguish over seeing other
people disrespect or other servants for
example a rebel against the master
who've Loki con he would be required to
rebuke them open him in their face load
the Omni Busan to tell them this is a
horrible thing your master supports you
he clothes you he feeds you he gives you
shelter and behind his back you speak
about it that way I mean it's one thing
if you're talking about a masters mean
and evil and cruel yeah sometimes people
employees do this all the time with her
employer yeah the employees room they
have a coffee and a cigarette or
something to talk about the you know the
employer the owner that I had you could
work somewhere else if you want why are
you working here and taking his money if
he's a jerk that's one thing but usually
that's not the case it just resentful
the fact that he owns the business and I
have to work for him open your own
business you have a complaint open your
own business why don't you open your own
business because you can't for XYZ
reasons so you're beholden to him he's
he's employed you he's a decent guy so
why do you speak bad about him right
that's our natural tendency we do that
have to avoid that so a person who is a
truthful servant a truthful dedicated
servant of this of this master will
rebuke the others and say shut up don't
talk that way ven zey nem on this is not
an évidemment somebody who would speak
this way rock cover the ish Marshallese
rather he's like a friend of the
destroyer vivanno you saw his
transgression he will hold fini a Kosovo
mayor the verse says wrote saya Sheamus
era of God wants he
dyers those who fear him those who are
in all him amisha cement with Mitchell
cavero somebody who is happy over the
spiritual slip up of his friend so
that's a sign that he's really not
interested in the service of the king if
you really love the Sham right if you
really were dedicated to a Shem you
would not be happy about somebody's
accidental miss mess up certainly all
the intentional mess up god forbid
somebody you got something data or some
negative feeling about somebody else and
he ends up doing some transgression
let's say intentionally you find out
about it so you might be happy in your
heart should you be happy in your heart
ah he thought it was such a sonic now
look at it even if the guy was not the
best guy in the world and even if like I
said not like I was saying before even
if he was arrogant and he held himself
above others and the end of the day you
found out like he transgressed shoppers
or something so you should be happy
about that in the end of the day who's
shabbos did you desecrate a Shems and
we're all fans of a sham right so we
should be happy the fact that somebody
else kind of went over to other team
even if it's only temporarily no so
clearly that's the wrong thing to do the
opposite also true when you see somebody
doing something good yeah they
strengthen themselves all of a sudden to
put on CCS or two in or to learn a bit
more or like that classroom scenario
that we talked about the guy gets the
right answer it was like on the tip of
your tongue and you're just going to say
it and he says first the ride was like
oh wow great excellent how did you do
that and like I could have gotten that
compliment it was writing a tip of my
tongue I could have said it foot kind of
business is that should be happy for him
that he was that he was no comment for
the MS be happy for him that he
understood the tourney got the right
answer you have it's important the rabbi
or other people have to know that you
also have the right answer is it enough
that you know that you have the right
answer and that you know that a shame no
right answer you're upset that somebody
else got the right answer and also got
the credit for it what kind of business
that if you really feel
you have the Sham and we really have the
Torah I'd be more than happy that
somebody got the right answer and
doesn't have to be me the main thing is
both Michelle we got the right answer
right that's an indication that person
is a real fan of Michelle it's a group
effort does it matter whether whether
it's me or whether it's somebody else
the main thing is as a team right we got
it because one of us got it Road CI
Sheamus you off Oh Misha Samantha
Mitchell hadera a nut so no carrots on a
boy spa okay he's pal already knew who
Nia and therefore revenue and kounya
prayed maghrib an econo alia Costa Luca
vib Devon halacha there smoke mayhem let
there not be a scenario where my friends
mess up they mess up in some devar
halacha and I should be happy with them
their different ways of explaining this
is a prayer that we say before learning
Torah in the day and it's printed
usually in the front page of most of the
remoras it's a very beautiful prayer and
it's nice to say and and and this is
this is one of the phrases that's in
there in the prayer shallow yet cash Lou
Heather I but Valhalla have a smock
mayhem but my friends should not mess up
with their Torah learning and I should
be happy with them there are different
ways of learning this one of the ways is
I pray that my friends meaning my fellow
students should not mistake they're
learning and then I should be happy with
them but another explanation is and my
friends should not mess up in their
learning and then I should be happy with
that with the fact that they made that
mistake so i'm making a prayer asking a
sham to protect me from this very common
scenario where a person says the wrong
thing and i'm happy that he messed up
why because if I'm happy that he messed
up in words of Torah that's a sign that
I don't really love the Torah I don't
really have a Shen felucca delorca
Shelvey smoothie and furthermore I
should not mess up and they should not
be happy with my mess up while Kenny
followed by me no kuni americano I'll
say and therefore the rabbi prayed for
this key raschi's aid over Matsui he saw
that this is a very common thing chef
had Samia batalha vero that one person
can be happy with a mistake of his
Kodesh yahoo and nazia because Xavier o
village em so that he should vanquish
his friend and he should get the
reputation of convent haddam house
shooting in indesign was a and even very
like hush of the people people who are
well respected and tour learners can
also become prey to this type of a thing
it's like you have to have roses right
and the arguing back and forth and
finally the one guy proves that the
other one made a mistake and now he's
like ah inside he's really happy why cuz
he was right that's obviously the wrong
attitude first of all I haven't i
arguing with my busa I see one way he
has lisa is another way the first thing
I should do is rather than explain and
demonstrate why my way is right let me
try and ask him and figure out why he
thinks and perhaps his way is right I
have to be first let's hear what he has
to say first waiter that's an
interesting idea I didn't think about it
that way I saw it realize that totally
opposite but it's intriguing that's here
how do you get that where does it come
from what's the wording and each and
when you ask for him to explain it your
attitude should not be one of
challenging him you're wrong prove
you're right but rather that's
interesting let's see why that's right
right because he might be saying
something true might be saying something
true you've worked through it together
and it turns out that what he's saying
doesn't really seem to work for XYZ
reasons so you say you know what I hear
that it doesn't work for me for X bar Z
reasons I'll tell you what I think it
seems to me it's the other way XY is it
all right great open up rashi Rashi says
like you great great now she says like
me but at least I heard his way of
thinking and I'm happy to have exported
the way he saw it and there are
different facets to the Torah as long as
you're learning Rashi it turns out that
you are right but if you learn toast
foes you'll find out
that your friend was right and he might
not have been able to explain the
reasons why a B and C but tose tose does
and you see there for you had you were
right and he was right you were arguing
my cloak is been washing and toast was
great so your raashee nice toes holes or
your toes was a nice rashi the main
thing is that you're learning together
you're expected you're respecting each
other and loving the same tour together
rather than becoming a shouting match
over who's right and who's wrong and if
you see a rooster getting into a
shouting match and things get a little
bit off the hook like that might be an
indication that the learning is not
entirely legitimate I'm not saying that
a person shouldn't learn with enthusiasm
with passion yeah but if it starts to be
like shouting so the best way to ensure
that you're not going to hear another
person it's the shout cuz if you shout
then you can drown it out right white
your shout then you'll have to listen to
him the opposite also true the best way
to make sure that a guy's not going to
listen to you is to shout shout out I'm
really loud guarantee is not going to
hear you I can hear a word you say
because you're shouting but if you're
really looking for the MS the truth of
Torah so you're going to realize it
really doesn't matter who's right or
who's wrong it's as a have Russa we find
the MS together and therefore I'm happy
if you got the shot now I have a closer
to be of MS so he says Valle comet video
danke shoe the Anatomy's arm is in even
though even people are more advanced in
Torah and Torah learning they're not
careful with this and they get all guys
I think about their Torah and they get
upset when somebody else gets the right
answer and they don't or they're happy
when the other guy gets it wrong ah how
can that be how can I possibly be the
chemical ish are shared so nogitsune
looky there for anybody whose will is
harmonious with the will of a Shem its
style Shane na say about Sona sham he
should be upset in any considers an area
where the will of a shame is not being
done and not be happy that this guy
slipped up so a feat also love you

just had an idea based on some of the
things that he's saying it survived a
little bit comical of your friend as you
love yourself but Raya is also spelled
like the word rock so you should like
love your friend even if this friend is
like an enemy and so you don't like him
so much still the after the rain Kaka
mocha love him as yourself and if you
were sick you pray for yourself so if
he's sick pray for him if you didn't
understand Tori very much you would pray
for em to help you understand more
become more righteous so pray for this
person that you don't get along with
that he should also be able to learn the
Torah and become more righteous you
can't go wrong by praying that he become
better and therefore there's no reason
to be selective about this type of thing

something separate from yourself view
your yet Zara as a friend that you can
actually use and harness and cultivate

the truth that a lot of the drives that
we have that we usually identify as the

their drives the question is how do you
direct them the after their vaca mocha
you should love these drives that were
implanted in you by a sham because if
you use them properly they can actually
be befriended by you and used and
harnessed by you for your good kabocha

truly pure of hands so such a person

true and pure intentions in his heart to

afraid and he'll take courage everybody
