Okay. Hashem
got here obviously weren't coming from
overseas and because of the
particular schedule. So the Shilas were
sent in about 5 minutes ago besides the
ones that I still had left over. So I
looked them over briefly. They're all
good. Some of them we won't get to and
we save them. Some of them are not.
They're so good might not be fit for a
video recording. Uh so we'll have to
decide that which means the show could
uh ask me afterwards or try to push till
we get it in next time.
uh the first
two of them are actually na to what
we're going to talk about in the uh part
at the end. So we'll save that for then
and
we'll begin with something that
is very na now and I uh gave a shear in
it just about a month or two ago.
Somebody's writing it up and supposed to
look over what he wrote and it's going
to appear I think somewhere in a kami
kayeno publication or something like
that. So we'll give the short version
and that is as follows AI puskin chilus.
So bam shouldn't be on AI it shouldn't
be on computers if they don't have to
and adults uh shouldn't be overusing it
either. With that said, the very brief
answer which really doesn't need a whole
lot of commentary
is that in order to pass a Shila, you
need a few basic things.
Uh you have to be a Yid, which
presupposes you're human.
That's um first thing. And then you have
to be learning Yama Vala for many
decades.
And you have to be a person who
understands the mats and understands
that you can have the same shila asked
20 times. And sometimes it's basic and
it's the same answer. And often it
depends on the mat and there is
and the mat of itself creates a
different den even when it's not where
it would have been
user in a different situation or a
mitzvah in a different situation. That's
quite a gap. So in order to figure all
that out you have to be a human you have
to be a yid. You have to be from you
have to have be working on your shamayim
and you have to have a lot of yadas and
be learning all the time
and obviously AI no matter how good they
might get later right now u
in preparation about a year ago when it
first came out and I know I'm sure it
got better but a few guys in the sh
asked me can I just take a look I said
maybe at 2 in the morning we'll have a
chance if you want to show me a dugma
And uh it must have gotten better
because
this was uh so ridiculous. So I said
just uh ask it uh tell me something
about Ramosa. That should be easy
enough. No. And I I couldn't believe it.
I was amazed. I never knew that Ramosa
was related to the Benish and the film
and everybody in between and uh gave me
a whole long settle on metava rabbi
rabbi. I guess he was related to every
uh every G. I mean that dis
hallucinations and hallucinations that
one was quite peladic. See he said yeah
it got better since then and maybe yeah
maybe not but uh for Ping Shila's
any slight detail can change which is
why AI despite its uh upcoming
brilliance can't do it because you need
emotion and you need to know the matzov
and you all it's doing is uh googling
something to doing quicker and trying to
add some of the artificial intelligence
to analyze
and um It's a very dangerous thing. The
better it gets, the more dangerous it is
because when it completely hallucinates,
then you know this is like Namatsu. The
better it gets, the might start thinking
that uh this is really good. And if it's
99% good, it's more dangerous, not less
dangerous. Because the is only promised
in the even if a mistake is made, but if
it was done and it was clearly a
mistake, then they undo it. But the
assumption
is based on the fact that you're human
have shayim and have a right to pasin
and then you have theataya and the uh
computer obviously doesn't have any of
that and that's that's very basic. So
that sort of uh cuts through all the
noise about how good it is and it's
hallucinating elucidating that they're
getting better. It's irrelevant. is
never going to be a yid, never going to
be human and never going to have the
emotion to be able to deal with it. So
that is u that is very important to keep
in mind
and the followup question was is it
wrong to use it for school work? The guy
are struggling with this because um
nobody wants to do any work bal and if
you're supposed to be writing papers I
don't the person sent in the shila 10
minutes ago obviously is in yeshiva it's
one of you so I don't know how many
papers they're asking you to write but
it's pretty clear that for the amount of
English we're learning and for the
amount of writing you're trying to uh
get a handle on they want you actually
uh now to do it and of if the rules are
you can do whatever you want and they
shouldn't be sending bulk onto
computers. If your parents aren't there
anyway and they're using AI and you ask
them, can you write a paper or just put
this in and spit it out and my teacher's
fine with it, then maybe I should
replace the teacher. But if that's okay
with them, it's not going to
obviously it's not going to be okay and
it shouldn't be okay and
no one's ever going to get anything
done. They're
that we should just create more and more
gadgets to be able to do less and less
and think less and less. And um
the damage that that has caused and that
they themselves realize it's causing is
um lum and ky super what
how many categories is touching and what
it's going to do and no one was working
that hard in the first place and now
everybody wants to do less and less.
That's the purpose of it. Just sit in a
couch and don't move and um we'll do all
the doing thinking computing for you. So
this is not a sh how much English you
should be doing in yeshiva is a sh of
whatever small amount you're doing you
should probably learn something and uh
even the guy admit this is a bad way to
learn it so I don't know whoever sent
him the sh can volunteer but is it wrong
to use it for school work if the teacher
didn't say maybe it didn't say yeshiva
because no one's going to be using a
computer AI but if it's obvious that
it's going to be das and they want you
to do work whatever
small amount of work that's being done
as do push that's going to be geneva
das. So, somebody asked me this a few
weeks ago and I told him this and he
said, "Yeah, if it's not, everybody
knows everybody's cheating." That was
never a good spur when they were
cheating on various things and it's
still not a good spur now. And um if you
think it's a good so why don't you ask
the teacher is this
says that it's really even though you
don't like it. If they say sure, then
okay, that's not gas. they don't then
we're back to the gene das and it's uh
das not good for you if you're already
spending some time doing it. So the
follow up on that was well I don't want
to be spending time doing it. I think
it's a waste of time. I said okay you
have to talk to your parents and the
manal about uh but if you're already
doing it you can't present something
that doesn't uh doesn't exist.
Next.
Is it true that you can listen to a lady
singing through a recording? The short
answer is no. Uh the longer answer is as
he said he thought he heard Vaj has a
chuva on it. You can argue which he does
in the chuva. He wouldn't advise it that
it's you don't know what she looks like
and it's not uh it's a recording and
it's not the actual voice and it's not
what they and it's
uh nobody is going to say that's good
for your even if it's mut and it's quite
clear that it's going to be a what we're
trying to
guard us from and when And I say it
might be they call it
not it's a hedge against
and whether you actually see the person
if you if you know what she looks like
and you see her then it's going to be
worse and if you don't you probably will
find out sooner or later and then laafa
is going to be awesome anyway even
according to the milin it's a little
hard to understand
plug but if you want to argue not so
it's not good for and the few times that
people ask this I tried to drill down
figure out like what do you want to
listen to and what so a couple of them
made up a story they got it from AI
about no it's just my sister and it's
just she needs self-confidence she just
wants her brother's house okay a sister
is a is a dean but that's not so bad but
I had a feeling that's not what it was
about and uh if you get into an area
like this that you're probably listening
to things uh you shouldn't be listening
to and even if it all happens to be a
yisha tom Um, if it's based on the fact
that you don't know what she looks like,
you're not going to find out.
So, uh,
people think there's a header. If I
don't know who the guy is, it's Mut.
It's very hard to figure out. You don't
know who the guy is. How much do you
have to know about him? His name, his
social security number. How do you
figure out what's your deal? And even if
you figure that out and you don't know
the guy bakl and it's just you didn't
hear a name or you heard and what
happens you meet him in a month from now
or a year from now then old lashar you
heard is going to be
it's a little dangerous
and it's really not clear what the uh
what together is in the first place of
yad of a person it's quite clear you
don't have to know him well and I've
heard this in Um
and those who are looking for to listen
to general raid that involves lash
because you don't really know the people
well. It's lashhara is
dinda many times over many lavin and
it's not a good idea to look for coolers
in these things over here. There's
certainly
here and even if there's really no
picture in the mind at the moment and
you don't know who it is, you don't
think you're going to find out. It's a
even according to the it's a very risky
proposition
should not be done.
I said that I am everyone in tila zaka.
This is only a couple of weeks ago. It's
an excellent shila. We touched upon this
once last couple years where
the fellow was saying
and par before
all the they were doing and
the uh Shila then if you remember
presented was what if I'm not really
should I say that paragraph anyway it's
a good question and the answer is you
should say it Because first of all
saying it accord
or not really is
and the
which is good good for you good for him
from anybody owes you money. we'll get
to in a moment that we say in tila zaka
people remember the parenthesis there
was your money you have a right to
collect
zaka talks about because it's yum we've
all been working on that but we do say
it every night so like the is that is
then it's a for you for him the shita is
a hold that's not it's not a sha of gene
das if you're working on it if you tell
him beish somebody asks you are you
really and it's not true that's but here
you're saying a general
so the follow-up question on that is
what is with the money so I just like to
put put out the following this is very
to adults as well on a different level
but it's all the same you
and that is if somebody owes you money
you have a right to get your money and
Rashi says clearly based on kazal
A dter that's a sharpa is just as
valuable as a dter shove a million
dollars and you have a right to be ta
with that said nobody does that. No
one's going to inter for an amount of
money that takes more time to get it
than it's going to cost them more money
and you have a right to ask and if he
owes you a quart owes you a dollar owes
you $5 you have a right to ask for it
with that said and that's you can't
erase that and don't forget that in the
following few paragraphs we're going to
mention and that is I've seen personally
situations where they were arguing about
I'm not still not sure what they were
arguing about But somebody had an issue.
And of course he when I pointed it out,
he said, "No, it's not the money. It's
taka. Small amount of money." I asked
him why he's like creating World War II
over this amount of money. And of
course, he says, "Not the money. It's
the principle." Of course, it's always
the principle. It's never the money. So
even if that's true, it didn't make
sense. The amount of money a recent
thing. If it's not the money, it just
didn't both both parties were
comfortable. And so you say, "Well, why
not?" He owes the money. You have the
right to. That's not the discussion over
here. Discussion is in life there's x
amount of hours in the day and you got
to learn and you also have to not get
into fights and not get valara and s and
it's very hard to afterwards and he kept
hiding. It says in except for anybody
else I said I know that you're asking me
advice what you should do. You didn't
ask me you have right to be of course
you do. So what's the advice? The answer
is life is short. Hopefully 150 years
plus. There's only x amount of money
around that you're going to be using and
it's going to make a difference in your
life. And the $1 you own so many yeshiva
on the $5 and the $10. And this case it
was um working people. So it was $100
$500. He has a right $500 money. $100 is
money. You know put's money to start a
mikas like that that's going to go on
and on and on. I said just have ramonus
on your learning his learning just the
amount of lash is going to be spoken.
So it was a real discussion. They said,
"Well, doesn't it say you are allowed on
and the basin has to take seriously
sharp Ka?" The answer is, "Yeah, but you
also have to look at the collateral
damage of what's going on." I can't tell
you how many times I've seen this. It's
just not and they always regret it
afterwards that that wasn't worth it.
That whole m gets an old lash and invol.
It's not like you know you're going to
stay clear that's not tailless and it's
going to just get out of hand and it's
not going to end and then you have to
for all the other things they said in
anger.
So in life you have to think about that
and um there's no titkus in this mis but
uh when I was a your age you could still
buy something for maybe a quarter or two
or three or four and um yeah people
buying quarters they're buying dollars
besides the sia of writing aar which is
a real den and their truth is written
why does anybody do it you can write a
little with yourad
There are those who ta the truth from
the priak he says it's only the says it
most pas like it and the prius himself
knew that and was trying to write a tr
many people weren't writing happens of
all times government borrow $5 $10 and
nobody has a pen nobody has a paper and
they're writing out
but when it's in the hallway nobody has
paper they should get a paper they
should write it out because the starting
position is after a while somebody wants
his five or $10 back or $20 back or
quarterback and he's a right to it and
go prove it. I paid you back. I didn't
pay you back. That's exactly why there's
a takana. You got to write it down. When
you get it back there you spend hundreds
of hours on. He starts to give back and
thear and he starts saying told me he
says I finally did the din I had aar. I
said great what happened. I presented it
to him. So what happened? He says
mazuyf. I said was that in first or was
that real? So but he did the right
thing. Okay. Yeah, it's like the other
guy's a clown and he says it was his.
How do you say it was m? He said he has
a pretty bad handwriting. Okay, so you
have to make sure it's legible, but it's
a real den.
And after a while, I told him to let it
go and we're not here to make enemies
and uh it's not worth your time. Money
is valuable and we don't do bash. But
again, the sin of the kind gets out of
control. So an asa even though the zaka
you said you might everybody except for
the people owe you money if this comes
up just give it a thought or two at what
price are you going to get your quarter
dollar back often it's because you don't
want the guy to get away with something
and you want your dollar and every
dollar counts and right to it is it
worth your time and is it worth so they
start quoting every rashi
if a guy's giving a rough time when I
give him the eight I said the Dinner is
you can ask for whatever you want. I'm
giving you an eightas. He said I just
have one cash. I know the next thing's
coming. No way. He's going to quote
Rashish in braces. What is he going to
quote?
No, you didn't get there yet. It's not
in parcan.
And sure enough, uh he says katanam
right back in the middle of the night.
So you have to learn that para over
there. Yakavin is wealthy and tak to go
back and it was yakinu. So I told him
when you get to the madrega and all the
other areas uh we'll talk about it and
there was something very deep about
those pakatanim it doesn't make sense if
yakavinu is a gir already and he can
make $1,000 an hour and he's wasting 10
hours to get something worth $5 that
taka is losing money in the process and
putting himself in danger. So obviously
there's something going on. So guy's
staying on the on the phone with the
phone company and he spends five hours
getting back the $7 error in his bill.
It doesn't uh doesn't necessarily make
sense. And usually the answer is but I
don't want them to get away with it. Now
it's $7. Next time it's going to be $7
million. You can't let people get away
with things. Okay. Does he want to spend
your time on getting into a fight with
Verizon? At least it doesn't involve
straight lush and sin on kin and mikas
in the community. You got to think about
it. And this does come up quite often
and especially the Baham who are
borrowing on the fly not writing it down
the which might not exist and then
afterwards when they want the money back
a they can't prove it and then when they
do he says and then you get into a whole
fight the fellow who insists on ting
muyf and he's not joking and it's not
perm he doesn't have to be your best
friend either
it doesn't sound like such an honest ber
but that's all different than keeping a
fight going on for a lot longer than it
has to. So I had to keep it in mind and
I told B asked me that I'm happy he
really took Tila Zaka seriously and uh
that's why it's written very carefully
obviously.
Next, this is uh
you can hear this happening in yeshiva
possibly, but it's noa throughout life.
And
what's interesting here is that there is
a
whosa it's a very important sh but it's
not to other cases as well. When you
have a do it's not
somebody calls you for and it needs real
information that is valuable not things
that aren't going to change anything.
So then you have to say so call it a
mitzvah
has a lot on this and he says that if
you do it you have to do it really
believe in terms of focusing on the
and you have to do it not because you
don't like the guy anyway and you've
been waiting to talk for all these years
and now's your opportunity where you
could take
is not at all sure that it's in that
case
answer is it's but if you're doing it
notem Shayim then maybe there's no for
you
and the of the is very concerned about
this. I saw
ask say from
I asked quite a few if you're if you
remember from seventh eighth grade
whenever you learned it and you did it
since then there should be something all
of Makus about this.
Um, do you remember I asked you the
other Shiloh? You remember Makus? How
long ago did you learn Makus? 3 years
ago, two years ago
it should. It's not anywhere to my
knowledge,
but he mentions it and he says the Gadam
has a to
whether it's a mitzvah or a
mitzvah. Remember, there's a mitzvah
over here.
So why is there a maybe a mitzvah? Heov
can't control himself. He's very angry
at the guy. What happens if it's a
neighbor? Probably happened around the
corner.
He never liked the guy anyway and he has
ters on him besides this and now he
finally has a to kill him not just which
is also.
So why does it say anywhere in the ma
that when you have a or it's a mitzvah
then you have to make sure first you
don't have any other agenda you have no
time on him you do it that the says and
it's a mitzvah here or it's a but you
only have a because he killed your curve
not because from before it's the same
just it's talking
is also but it doesn't say anywhere. So
it's a mitzvah that you should have to
go through this process to make sure you
don't know the guy from before and if
you do you don't have any ters on him
you're not enjoying it in any other way
wants to know why is that or or is that
maybe it's the same rule let's just say
that somewhere in the
just there's not so much on the
interesting
it says sentong to try to talk him out
of it that's not a mitzvah it's a
mitzvah why would you talk him out of
So is but still even you have to do it
without prior
and
it doesn't say that.
So what am I getting at? We'll take a
and
we'll make it in a yeshiva context. You
see a bak getting bullied. Bullied could
mean physically. It can mean they're
leaving him out of things and he's uh
being muza and they're assaulting him
and they're bullying can take many forms
in many grades. It doesn't always stop
at fifth grade, 8th grade, 11th grade.
It can happen with adults in various
forms. So you notice this and you feel
bad for the guy and you want to help him
out. So first thing you try is give a
little suggestion or which normally you
have to try sometimes it works to try
and tell the bully maybe leave him alone
and that he really feels bad and you're
being
or you're hitting him and it's an like
what are you doing try that a couple
times if it doesn't work and often with
bullies who have their own issues it
doesn't work so now what's your next
step
so if you think back I hope This
wouldn't happen past uh seventh grade
but um can happen even later. Boys will
be boys. What happens if you have a
bully most of the time it's in verbal
abuse or other forms of an arm or
psychological terror. It could be
physical also. Let's take the physical
example as the t talks about ruin is
it's in the dorm late at night and he
heard a schmoo the bully that one of
told him it's important to exercise. So
he's going to decide he's going to
exercise. So instead of exercising
during hakuffus, which the bam here did
a very fine job of, even though you're a
little Charlie horse and they made sure
I got exercise also. So besides uh that
exercise, he decided he's going to
practice his muscles and flex his
muscles just on the other guy in the
next bed.
He starts like physically and he's uh
doesn't plan on really hurting anybody,
but he's beating him up. You never heard
I'm I'm getting a lot of blank faces.
You never heard I I guess you never
heard of this seen this never happened
to Yeshiva Hashem. Okay, I must have
phased it out. No. What? Never heard of
this thing.
The verbal psychological I know you
heard of even by just the conscious
omission that means for the AI paper
you're supposed to write that means uh
just like leaving him out but is you
want to show that this is your and he
doesn't belong that happens. That's also
bullying.
So the taza's case is somebody's getting
hurt. It's not not necessarily sak but
uh he's pushing him around.
So after a couple of warnings
and little mus which didn't work
unfortunately.
So what's your option? I should say
what's your
so brings down that you have to stop him
because
best thing is to go tell Rashiva the
rebi let's say no that worked
it's in the dorm it's in the dra it's
late at night and nobody around but you
and you are not afraid of this bullying
you can handle it and you're going to
physically
remove him from the um from the mus and
from the brawl and maybe even from the
dra.
So um what's the den? So the din is you
have to do it because besides saving the
guy you have to
hitting somebody even if he's not
getting hurt is already
the taz brings the says something to the
effect that that's only if you don't
have other ters on them. the same thing
like the or you're not just looking for
a good fight or to get your own
exercise. You're not looking for action.
You have no other agenda and you like
the guy or don't know the guy but you're
not doing this for any other reasons.
Noama and your mom is doing Shayim then
it's okay and the TA brings us down and
you here quite fascinating.
If you have to use force to get him off
of him,
what does it make? If you had prior has
an issue with it, which is more
understandable, you have to do with and
the T says the guy's getting beaten up.
Well, you're going to start claring
whether you're doing 100% or not. You
have to get them off of
What's interesting is
yeah, it is and you have no right to do
it. What's the
calls you for a business partner or if
you don't say something, he's going to
fall in. That's also a and is not sure
whether you can volunteer the
information unless you're doing it.
So the T seems to hold it's a very nice
thing to do and try to be mat and if you
don't or didn't or can't you got to do
the right thing and save him.
So
I had somebody actually asked me the
Shila. He asked me at the Shil about 30
years after it happened and the guy he
removed from the premises.
Um I'm talking to the guy face to face.
He came to see me. Good good from Ben
and he said he thinks the guy that he
removed from the dorm room has tasers on
him which he did. He said am I
responsible? I said what happened? Why'd
you why'd you hit him? He said I didn't
hit him. I just He's a big guy. I just
like after a couple warnings picked him
up and threw him aside so he wouldn't do
any more damage. So I started asking him
but did you do it?
He was telling me from decades ago he
says I did it to correct the problem and
to save the other guy. It wasn't the con
but he has no to be getting beaten up
and and the same thing would apply if
he's getting insulted and somebody's
screaming out of vasin.
So why does the guy have tinus? He says
uh why does the bully have tinus? The
same reason he was a bully in the first
place
but this is decades later
was very interesting. He said I'd be
happy to apologize to him. Did I do
something wrong? I said you know what
even you didn't do something wrong you
could still apologize just to make
shalom. That's an idea just to get which
he ended up doing. very nice guy worked
in his mid and he says I don't he just
wanted to know in the apology like does
he have to do chuv for himself said
based on what you're telling me doesn't
sound like you had a choice but he asked
well what if I didn't do it 100% I said
it sounds like you did why should you
get involved otherwise you had nothing
personal against the guy and even if you
did the taz holds you have to get
involved with agree and what's with the
keep in mind though that Um does say it
by might say it over here is certainly
should be getting involved if somebody
needs help. You shouldn't be getting
involved if somebody better to do it who
could do it more and this does come up.
I've uh witnessed because after they
fighting for a while usually they come
for
in various areas and I've witnessed
things go on by the time it gets to me
for a long time and I if it's a dollar
or $5 I try to like tell them what the
den is and I tell them you just dropped
the whole thing is not worth your time
but if they want to pursue it they can
pursue it over here you have to figure
out who the best person to give the
muser is. Nobody likes to get involved.
And the one time he got involved, he
actually helped the the other and that's
a mitzvah. You try to do a lash. Maybe
the holds. You have to be sure you're
doing a lash. But there is a way to do
it. It's not always you're looking at
somebody and you have an agenda. You
don't like the guy anyway. There's
certain people you like. The Shil does
come up. And what was scary is this was
still going on for 30 years. And the
guy's tina was you had no reason to do
it. I would have stopped and you you
don't like me and you you you ruined me
and you uh you roughed me up and you
didn't. I said, "What happened?" He
said, "I physically took him and sort of
tossed him aside. Did you throw him too
hard?" He says, "No, I threw him a safe
enough distance that he would
understand.
Please don't try this at home. Not with
your siblings, not with other but
it happened one late night and all
normal people and boys will be boys."
But the other guy wasn't he was nice of
him to go and really he ended up writing
a letter. It's a beautiful thing and he
asked for something that he probably
wasn't to do. But hopefully he made
shalom and sometimes you do that even
the time is it's not so honest. I I
really shouldn't be asking. I said you
could be a little dishonest to make
shalom. Not a not a kasha.
Okay. If that comes up during the next
man, please tell me about it five
minutes before this year next pa. We'll
revisit it. But uh
it's um I've seen in you know the
younger grades raam tell me that it gets
a little rougher when they're out of
recess. And I guess the older grades
don't have u
don't have recess. They just have a late
night uh dormatz.
Next.
[Music]
Okay. It's a general shil and it's an
excellent one um for hashkaf and I I
sort of understand I think I know the
particular shil where he was coming from
this wasn't from here somebody spoke to
me a few days about go about this is
there a situation is there a matzov
where
you think after asking the shas you had
an opinion you asked and you were right
there's nothing wrong with doing what
you'd like to do
not going to go into the specific case.
He told me what it was and taco wasn't a
he wants to know. It's bothering him a
little bit. It doesn't seem to be
hashem.
Interesting. Shila. So, what do you mean
by that? He says, "Do I have to always
look to see is item besides it not being
user?" No. Over here. Of course you do.
Well, if it's not user, then why do you
have to invent? You never have to
invent.
You have to use to know that it's push
that there might be a situation where it
doesn't say it's because it didn't have
to because it's obvious or it's not
exactly but it's not a mitzvah and in
this situation it would be note.
There are a lot of things in that
category and it's often overlooked. You
don't want to live your life as what
does it say? answer because
you don't have to invent either but you
have to be growing and you have to
figure out every point in life you could
be doing what does Hashem want you to be
doing Hashem wants you to be in this
mashem wants you to be over here wants
you to be with these people nothing
wrong with being his friend maybe it's
not good for your growth this takes on
so many different important decision
making processes in every mat even
though you look to ask and it doesn't
say doesn't say it's
there exists this category and this
might be for from people the biggest
category that's over here you haven't
thought about this during for
you're not looking to do is you're
looking to do mitzvah you basically know
what's not and when you don't you ask
and they could be a serious of that you
could be doing a lot better and you're
not because you didn't see anywhere it's
user and you think you're checking the
boxes doing
you won't go to gehenn and you'll get
some of
deep in the bleachers
um if there exists bleachers but you
understand what I'm saying I said this
over in recently people didn't know what
I was talking about said bleachers is
the top seating in the semas
is that a good description otherwise
you're not going to know what the word
means right you got it right the top the
very uh the less expensive seats so no
you're in alab you're in the stadium
Abdul,
nobody's going to be happy with that.
We're here to figure out don't run away
with this because you can't make up your
own religion, your own mitzvah. If you
just do the mitzvah, wake up in the
morning and
24/7 except when you have the term and
when you got to relax and get some
sleep. So there isn't a scenario every
day if you're in yeshiva and you're
gainfully uh learning where you're
gainfully employed and you're learning
as much as you can. You shouldn't have
this come up every day but it comes up
more than you think. And as a general
mahalim you can trick yourself into
thinking that I'm not doing I'm trying
to do mitzvah. I even run after certain
mitzvah and I'm doing what's ine. And
often that's true to a degree what yam
is all about. You have to think of uh
when you talk about the cabalas and
think about the cabalas you made and
everybody keeps telling me they were
told you supposed to make tiny little
cabalas and that's all true but there's
also general kabala mahal that's not so
tiny
and people hide behind whatever gadellum
stories they want to hide behind. I had
people invited me tell me about a kabala
and he tell me oh from daily mus and
it's all true it just didn't apply to
him and he said no I I was gonna take on
something bigger but I had to I was told
that they divided in half and in
quarters you you know always you take
very tiny cabalas and uh his tiny cabala
at the end of the whole thing was he's
going to have a bigger rug
for that's after all his thinking and
whittling it down I said I think you
could do a little better than that
although that's very you know that get
all the you don't want to
But it can't be all about.
So, you know, it's people hear what they
want to hear and uh we're talking about
General Mahal
and it's all about trying to figure out
what the Koshu really want. So there is
a um
plenty of gray area in between and I
just want to give an example which needs
more hees and um matter of fact if you
guys are hear the shabas pas I'm not and
but if you're here next shabas isn't off
shabas the first shabas man no they're
not going to let you out okay so um
catch me later but there's a very basic
sha bracious
get
The answer to that question is not so
simple. Everybody thinks yeah of course
she got all the of
affects her and then she got an extra
set of so why
talks about he says there were two
different issues she was and but he has
to prove she was if you look at the
original is given to other it's not so
she got that why not she didn't exist
the was given before whatever you're
taking subus she did exist but she was
She didn't exist.
He doesn't mention that, but it's part
of that suggest
did she get it? The assumption is she
did a medish that other said I I I ate
and he said I'll eat more because that
is better to take the and getar a lot of
ra on that. Then she but she said as me
said she said it also it sounds like she
admitted she had the a and the is ask
her why'd you do it
made me do it that means she was m more
than that she had the it's unclear why
because gave her over the is that make
it and forget the part that he was says
if you're you got to got to let them
know you're because that's how the
tricked her that she didn't die when she
touched it. Whatever mahal you take. So
if she was a she was certainly a mi,
right? She had the and she knew about
the and she is let's say she wasn't. Did
she know had an is
so she's so let me ask you a simple
question. Is there an
isser from aid to a guy? A lot of people
think there isn't pett there is the
example given is one of the classic
examples in the gar
is there an for a pious says not there's
no anything after the don't have an issi
if there's no is
good question.
What's the answer?
There's no answer. There is no pos
because of the strength of this one that
must be have even a and
which others say to answer other kashes.
There's a and then there's bad advice.
Giving bad advice is only from to yen
and not a good idea to do either. the
official is and don't have the PK. But
when you're somebody in a you get a that
have without a PK
don't need a PK for it. What's the other
answer? The other answer is there's no
Pik and there's no official. So why why
is Kava getting punished? The answer is
she should have known it's not Hashem.
Ah there's no Pik
doesn't have to be a Pik. You have to
know I don't need a p for that. If
whether I have an isser, my husband has
an isser, there's an isser to
give him something that's
so it's posit
just a an example from the para there is
a category that you have to figure out
yourself that it's notem and if you're
not sure and you prove it then it should
be based on either an issue you didn't
know about or that is obvious that you
didn't figure out yet. But there is such
a category.
Let me go to the
one that was sent in right now which
needs a little bit of a hakama because
uh okay we'll go few minutes over time
when we get there. We started 5 minutes
late.
This is um
a shila
and
[Music]
we'll start with there are two of them.
I don't know if we'll get to both. We'll
start with the
heavier one.
You're all familiar because you've been
saying for the last 40 days
is chosen for L because they have in
here each one needs a few hours basic
but basic
so we're going to pick uh one maybe two
to bring this out before we get to the
shum
uh if I had to ask you what's the most
famous
probably the most famous
they made a song out of
What?
You would say that even without the
song, right?
Says, "I just have one to boil down to
one request."
So the immediate issue in this is
I only have one request and goes on to
ask two or three.
So if you think I noticed that and
that's not really true and it's all one
request you could dash in that possibly
but there's a medish
on the
gonna sound like a it's not just to
bring out a pointem
And this one question was
and then following that is
a different you have to figure out what
it is but it's a different one and is a
third one.
So
says to first you ask only one ask
and then you ask
Two and three. So why'd you do that?
You only asked for one and then you put
in three.
Ready for the answer
has an answer. The reason he did it
he says I have a good rebi
talking to and I learned it from you.
>> No. Where do you learn it from
the
political the point the shakaya here
is delivering a statement it's not that
difficult only wants one thing
you at the end of the doesn't end there.
It's a parag look it up afterwards. It
starts off
is not a small thing. Okay. So that was
but
it needs work on understanding even the
ask about but ask one thing.
Then it goes on
sounds like all the mitzvah and then it
adds
doesn't end there. The next part of Mrs.
So it starts off. Hashem said I only
have one request just have
and then added was and
misses.
So David said I would have thought that
you can't do that either but I learned
from you. You start off with one
and then you
pile more on. So I figured if that works
we're in the receiving end of the it's
good for us says the he wasn't
questioning that. Then if I'm
dominating, I can ask for things. I'll
start off I'm only asking for one thing,
but then you're going to add on.
What's the site over here?
Asite over here is it's important when
the Sahara as soon as you get back for
the Nisman starts trying to convince you
out of um
learning as much as you want to and
being nizer and not getting into fights
in the dorm and all the other things we
spoke about
used to talk about this a lot. He said
the way to deal with this is not to talk
to the and take it head on and say no I
made kabalas I just hadis
I have and I don't do any of these
things I'm
to declare yoursum
for the next five months is not a good
idea it's a great idea but it's not
going to work as well the mal is
teaching us which you learned from koshu
is deal with one thing at at a time
what's in front of you said the blot in
front of you the tus in front of you the
kasha in front of you the terror in
front of you is the only thing that
matters now the is here for from people
not he's not going to tell you do a maid
good morning doing a ver it's not going
to work so he's going to try to
overwhelm you and say I can't the sugi
is too complicated and uh I don't know
why they learning your vas this year
it's not just your vas it's any sug if
you learn it well and I can't handle
this and it's overwhelming And there are
too many kashes and too many.
And I don't even understand what the
first line here means. This not going to
work.
You say this all the time. You have one
thing in front of you. Peel it away. One
tis, one kasha, one terret,
one minute of salash or of controlling
your anger.
Said what are you going to do the next
minute? When we get to the next minute,
we're going to deal with it.
So that works when comes and asks us I'm
only asking for and once you work
there's going to be an ask about which
is and all the all but that's an
increment and when it comes to your own
personal so you have to
he said I have a law he had a lot of but
he said and he had a works the same way
I want to be in Bashem whether I am or
not I want to be there as much as
possible I'm speaking to an is now this
time of your life to be in Bashem your
entire day and night all the time and
you're in sh all day and you're on to
learn in the morning and come to a so
you know this says the is be in the
right place in a good environment
problem is doesn't want you to be that
much from masid and he wants you to
spend a little more time sleeping a
little more time in the in the dra a
little more time going back in the hak
and and some of it is needed to relax
and some of it is pretty um costic and
causes damage. So starts off my bash is
so I shouldn't be overwhelmed. I just I
want to be in the right place. I want to
be
what I want after that next step is
going to be that I learn and I
understand
and I have from it.
What how did you learn? He said this pik
I hope at least 80 times plus last month
or so. What's the vak?
He asked to be there the whole time.
Biker means you're visiting the bikur
that's a ste. So rashi addresses that
I'm sure you all asked yourself this
kasha as you were saying this slowly. If
you didn't, you can say it now. It's not
Balt and remember it for next L
Rashi brings down two mahim two very
different mahal. What is a problem? So
first shot is I want to be there every
morning fresh and early. I can't spend
24 hours in the Bish 24 hours.
That's the first shot. The second shot
is
what does that mean? Anybody remember
that pussing?
Last time you're on a farm, you have
messer behs
one at a time. We described this in
David.
They go by, everybody gets done. 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9 you have your red stick. The
10th cattle comes out. That's myer. That
might be the animal. And the guy's a
good guy. He says, I'm gonna bring that
as a curb.
So you have to switching it. Tamura is
about this. You want to upgrade
sometimes you want to downgrade. You
can't switch. This is the 10th of
means don't start making an inquiry
which one's better, which one's worse.
So means I should not be sitting
and analyze the analyze my motives,
analyze my
be honest where can I grow means as
that's the second shot.
to each other. Rashi brings down from
two earlier rishim
amazing we can go you can go your whole
life and sing this song and say
that's trying to answer
our is to keep in mind that we're doing
it in increments and you're not for the
next kasha or for the next blot for the
next day for the next hour
wants you to feel everything on your
shoulder weighing you're down so you get
completely discombobulated
and you figure I can't do all this and
as soon as you feel like that that thing
pops into the head of most people most
10 times a day just you got to know how
to push back so the answer is don't even
address it it's not nea you want to know
what am I going to do when I get to the
second terrorist of you were told by
somebody already who heard Shia in the
last mer that that you're never going to
get out of that terrorist we're going to
be on it for three month yep I'm in the
first terrorist now we'll worry about it
when we get there.
You know, any static interference is all
from the Sahara. Sounds very firmed. No,
no. I I I'm worried. I want to get the
whole mahalya.
You do. And maybe you will, maybe you
won't. It's one at a time. And when
you're trying to be Z not to get
involved in the hawk that you hear at
11:30 at night,
some of it's kosher hawk. You'll say
that's a steer in terms. Okay. I hope
it's kosher. You walk in and you hear
something, you say, you know, I don't
know. I don't like where this is going.
So what? I'm going to stay out of the
room and I want my friends and I got to
go to sleep and I got to hang around. So
I'm going to this could take a half
hour. I use all my examples from real sh
in case you haven't noticed. So I stay
away for a half hour. So what's the
answer? Still says, "No, no, no. Don't
talk about a half hour. Maybe just stay
out for five minutes. What's going to be
I'll catch up as I'll walk in five
minutes. that I'm going to be up to
speed on all the hawk from the it says
good in the dorm and they're going to
they'll let me know what's going on.
First of all, you save yourself five
minutes. Could have been costic. I'm not
saying all the conversations in the dorm
are bad. Hopefully, most of them are
good. But you save yourself five
minutes. And after five minutes, you
know what? That five minutes wasn't that
hard. Maybe I'll go back to best
measure. It's not going to take 20
minutes and I'll uh I'll miss the whole
thing. But you got to break it down to
increments because we're not set up for
that we can't handle an isan that's five
minutes down the line a day down the
line is not neg that's the
speaking of hak
so we're just going to introduce this
point maybe it's good we we're going to
run out of time in the next six minutes
that came in as I'm driving
printed it out right before I got in the
car and I'm trying to look at it in the
car
and Um
the question is it seems the excitement
of at least the hostages is higher in
certain areas
and I didn't yet discuss it much and
it's not being discussed like to know
where you live but I understand what
he's asking sh um how do we what's the
dash over here and how to approach it
and it's a very complex kasha but it's
very simplistic also if aid is nebulan
captivity and now he's alive or not
alive and he gets heavily that's a cause
for and that's galdic. If a war ended
and there people in harm's way that's
also galdic has nothing to do with
politics nothing to do with
that's the good news whether or not
we were saying to the sh we also had a
say that people should be safe I said
extended at least one more week they're
having a summit now somewhere in Mitsim
uh you'll go back if you have a meeting
with somebody otherwise you can't move
there since the couple yidden involved
matter of fact the people running it are
yidden and they're trying to do their
best we hope and no reason to assume not
so and um it's saving lives of course
now we have a matzah where everybody one
wouldn't imagine three years ago I'm not
saying it's good or bad is running the
world and always is and always will be
our job is to learn and dive in and not
be too involved in this but it is
important to know what alp
this a simple mahalas it's a very
complex suga our view is that the y is a
tenishba uh who might be in the army and
was captured and was there even the guy
somebody asked me should we obviously
for the go he should get back yeah it's
a it's a gather
and is like this doesn't mean the same
bas means you uh to what the is it
should be
so it's definitely definitely good news
they got back definitely good news that
there's no active fighting could it be
we're still in golas and a lot problems
that came up again because the war has
used the kard like drafting yeshiva
which is the worst thing they could do
just off the danger and that's an old
agenda and that's very worrisome and
that's not going away and it got worse
and they're cannoting the people and
they're throwing them in jail and
they're taking away whatever money they
had for pitha and hummus now they only
have money for pitha there are a lot of
problems we're still in gullis and we
have to be aware of that but we have to
do what we're doing to help out the
effort and that is the lisa
Even what they're talking about now as
we sit here is that they now everybody's
Mosim. We should have a two-state
solution. If you're not aware of that,
then stay in your vomit. Don't worry
about it. But the two states the problem
or the perceived possible problem was
that the one's in Gaza and one's over
here and Nebuchadne.
So what was fought against for a while,
I'm not saying rightfully wrongfully so.
They're two sides of the story. All of a
sudden now that's the starting point.
That might be Islam more dangerous than
it was to begin with.
We just spoke about breaking down
breaking down things and taking one day
at a time and
it's a very complicated world and it's a
very dangerous mat and that is gul
conditions and
uh people here in America should be
dinging learning and sending a lot of
money to
that's our job. And yes, it looks like
it could be more toxic than what they're
trying to do now, which is why not a bad
idea to keep saying to Hillm for a
while.
Lisa,
the question was how do we view this?
And we don't want to make it into a
separate religion that it's all about
the politics and all about the hostages
should be home. They are home. Whoever
made it through again that's a cause for
Simka to get too much in the politics
and the hawk loses sight of the fact
that the people doing this know they
don't have a solution either and there's
no solution in Gul's conditions and what
they're putting on the table now which
I'll be cheering about on paper is worse
just from a strategic p point of view
answer is if we were focused just on
strategy and how is this going to work
we wouldn't be here as cla we're here
because
with the and with and that's the biggest
difference we can make
and in the two minutes we have left or
we don't have left I'll leave you with a
shila
and uh it's important to think about I
might even suggest in one line where the
terrorists might be did you notice that
the kumish ends
you have to pick something to sign off.
So the suk toward the end
the biggest navies and
all theis and
we see the last two because the last
part is surprising
upon him
and that is how we think the ter should
end. Recount
flows what made the process of
no. So what does it end with
the last
days that ends?
This has got to be a tremendous because
we're ending
like this. We're ending with it and it
can get lost. And you all saw the rashi.
What is it teaching us?
So first
one long is that's all about 40 years.
So far it's expected
the last thing the last
broke the and brings from the
why is
ending off with this that's one off
never done again. And saw that he had to
break the which is normally in the
says did three things. The other two
were also good. This one he got in for.
Okay. But why is that the last thing
we're leaving with in this is the lesson
to remember
good kasha? I'm sure you just finished
being myella.
This is the le what are we leaving with
before braces borrow? What's the answer?
So futner beitser this needs to be
treated more to remind me pesner
the mimer says I didn't find the mime in
print. Mash told me he was there. Now
Futna says that the over here is that
and can't be watered down and if they're
dancing around at a whatever excuse they
had
understood I have to break the lus
because they're just going to water down
and think of excuses why this is not and
we're communicating we're nervous if
we're going to water it down there's no
chance. So you said number one we're
leaving
we're here to uphold the entire
it can't be watered down we don't
compromise
the second part which is not a to what
we just quoted from
is that also did it in defense of
famous medish that he wanted to rip up
the because it would be a bigger kit
they just had a kaducian and now they
already being misan it's terrible so he
rips up the he breaks the lus that was
gura that on the one hand if they're not
worthy and they're not capable of
keeping me don't give it over and the
other hand you have to have who don't
know
and you need to and you need to them so
they can get there for a second it's the
same message I'll break the now but then
I'll go back for 40 days and fast again
and help you do and beg for and it's
gonna take
I'm gonna do it because there's a pint
So the only thing we have to take out of
the matzah right now is there are a lot
of people still with some pintid you see
a lot of the people in this matzah the
last two years did chuva pella and they
were at the beginning of it a festival
that wasn't uh let's say yeshiva
shamatas let's put it that way now would
that be a good description
how much don't know
but there and some already recognized it
and some didn't our job is to do them
and help them but not at the expense of
any kud of our miss. There a lot more to
be said on that, but we're out of time.
Uh there are USBs on braces available
over here. Can help yourself. It's on
the entire braces. Took seven years. You
can listen to it probably unless
[Music]
