we're on page uh 402 in the
islam
from 1931 the member was uh
said then and that was discussing here
to develop and complete his idea of
specifically why minha was the thriller
that hashem
answered when elio anovi davenned
at hara carmel to
prove that hashem is true and not the
navier habao the false prophets of the
idol about
so the murder derives from from
and it's so it says that in tanakh it
says that
that he did it at all
that's when he asked hashem hashem show
your grace towards
towards me and the eden by taking my
carbon
consuming my carbon versus theirs and it
says when did he make the trilla
time so the gemara derives from this
verse in talakh that that eliyah got his
answer
hashem hashem answered him and itaka
took his carbon and he proved
that he's right and all that it was
always amin
so for the mother says that we should
know
that uh how careful
here how careful you have to be to dhaba
minha
because doing that will answer your
treeless your prayers
so the question was what about chakras
and and myref
and then to to explain that as as is the
custom in a regular in in a normal mind
the bulk of the mimer talks about
seemingly
unrelated matter to the opening
verse and statements
anyway so so um
so uh so the bulk of the mimer
has not been about you know davening
minha right
but in order to appreciate davening
minha we have to know what's going on in
our lives
so that explains to us about utk buffet
and about shameless kim
about hester about gilwee
and uh most recently that we've been
learning about
uh ghazal which says israel shall behave
[Music]
they're serving idols in a kosher way in
a pure way as we discussed yet the last
few days
the significance of that and the rabbit
told us that the spiritual meaning of
this
is that israel
what is israel and
it to to understand khutsalaru you have
to know what eritre's role is
so eretz is from the word song
will power that the will power should be
israel which is yes yes
what does that mean so yes
means to to learn tighter and not just
to learn tighter but to practice to try
to implement the toyota
so it ever says that it's not a
geographical thing
i mean the commander says that that he's
not contradicting the murder
but the gemma is a very uh as we say in
in hebrew appellate
gemura it's it's a very perplexed
complicated piece of the murrah you know
basically you're calling everyone
outside of eric's role
you know i mean this is like you know
a a heavy trip and there's many ways
many brushes on this commodore and many
different people
uh explain this gamora that ever
explains it
that why are you over the voldezura
because if you don't have the razor
if you're not living with the mindset of
eretz isro
even if you're living in afghanistan and
you and you and you
if you have the mindset in afghanistan
average israel
in spirit you're inertia's role okay
what does that mean that russ saying
little mo torah the lasso is my torah
rotser
to learn tiger to do what tyler wants
if you don't i think yes
i don't hear you only here i'm you out
yeah i'm sorry
um i'm not sure i think it was the
rabbit that says this the rebel
the last rebel he said that if you want
to come territory strong
just the right song is that you're
making the mitzvah that that's what i
i think the rapper said that because
someone asked him
someone asked them about you know we
can't do it we're trying and
i think that's what my father told me
many years ago i don't know
maybe you can um i think your father is
referring to
another rabbit the third laboratory
someone wanted to go there to stroll and
it was difficult
so that samadhi told him eric is wrong
that's the famous line in khabad make
here eric's role
um for sure uh
you know just by having a will to go
there to israel you're not making the
mitzvah
whether the mitzvah applies that they
are not uh is very very um
argumentative it's it's uh pastors the
mitzvah of yusuf
israel today doesn't apply but i'll let
that
i'll i'll allow the bigger tabi uh
between the ralph cook nicks and the
others to discuss that
whether there's a mitzvah today of yeshu
verity's royal when the basa amigdas
is
absolutely but whether that mitzvah but
one thing's for sure what you said is
not not the case
if i have a imagine the base i mean this
is urushiol i am and i'm sitting in
wyoming and i say i want to go to
archer's row
i get credit for you know you don't get
credit for being nervous
but according to the mimer and the
comment and other commentators and other
you know people expounding on this
gemata in spirit
in spirit you could be inherited throat
but it's all a spirit you know we have
to
differentiate between a mitzvah
kip and a mitzvah spirit
you know it's like the only saying you
put on filling with someone
on the street or you put on film with
someone who doesn't know the laws of
thrill and doesn't know anything
and you say you're a yi then said make
sure to put on then you put it on you
make the brothers with him
has he done the mitzvah 100 not even a
question
does he understand the mitzvah no does
he feel the mitzvah no
not necessarily right so in other words
there is the spirit of the mitzvah and
then there is the
prac the actual mitzvot the kilma
mitzvah
so kim amitsu verita's role is to live
in arizona
yes motion i just want to say it's
interesting it was pointed out to me
many years ago by some one of my
rebellion
at chappelle's norm that you could have
a jew
he was saying once to us he was saying
he would rather have
a jew who lives in chutzlar's but he has
the mindset
of constantly being aware of our
destruct wanting to be an error to
struggle exactly what we're speaking
about
as opposed to a jew who lives in arizona
but he's constantly thinking about all
the
about about huxlars right right right
and you see that it
is it's injured it made me really when i
remember when i heard that it made me
really really stop and think
i realized just that you know when you
live here especially
you have to constantly you have to
always put work into your appreciation
of eric's astrology right something just
here you know like it you know it's it's
always going to come naturally no you
know you have to put in i just want to
share that right thank you
it reminds me the rebel once said
you can practically actually be in 770
and you're elsewhere
or mckenzie and you could be there um
and you're really here
so that's where the idea of the ross in
her other
which i'm glad you brought it up to yoni
because it ties in with the exact point
of the miner
attitude in inemius
is where where where do you want to be
so moshe's point is an excellent point
too
you know if you but but again never
confuse
that the fact is your feet are on the
ground and you're living
in eretz's row so so
that's that's a practical thing in
spirit
if you don't make it out israel it's
like you're not living there but that's
all in spirit
so we have to be careful when we uh when
we talk and when we especially learn
and uh to to to understand this idea
and not say hustle and well you're
living in urges
role but you don't get the credit for
living here i'm sorry you do get the
credit because you made
you made the sacrifice ah you're missing
the spirit
uh you're you know you're elsewhere like
you know or like moshe said you know
you're becoming the stale it's like a
given
okay so spiritually you're really not
there let's continue
anyway anyway but then he analyzes and
hillary pointed out a good point
yesterday he analyzes the
the lotion of the khazal to
hora which is a very very good that you
said in hilo it's a very interesting
um usage of a word
to describe the situation and i'm not
sure we didn't finish it the mimer i'm
not sure i don't think he's going to
really focus on that word here
in this mimer but what what is the idea
the idea is you're pure when are you
really pure when are you really pure
you're really pure when you're kavanaugh
your cavanaugh your intent is
is uh in unison with hakados boro you're
you're you're really
getting the the purpose and the mission
so this
is this is what we're saying is
if there's a jew whose mindset
is listen to this
outside of doing the will of hashem
then it's a taharah
but the tahara is being used for avodah
zarah
meaning then what you're about
in that specific situation
you're you're all consumed
and anxious about idolatry now what's
idolatry and that he does discuss
it's interesting hillel he discusses the
words
um
he discusses the concept of avodah zara
which he says is worshiping the dollar
worshiping the business and all that as
we learned and we'll learn further today
but this one word tohora he skips over
it's interesting but but but if you
think about it
one second if you think about it
avoid the zorro
the attitude the attitude of a person
who doesn't realize that they're all
consumed
by avoid the zara right
is is in their mind
they're the holiest person they're the
purest person
i'm doing it for the cause
so it's a um a very tahora
pure attitude that the person adopts and
says
listen you know why i work so hard
to bring home parnosa for my family to
give sadaka
etc but it could quite well be
that you're on the wrong page you're
working too hard
and you're stressing yourself out with
anxiety
so the the app the word tohora is a very
appropriate
word to for someone
who's who's fooling themselves
when you fool yourself you think
you're you're so righteous you're so
pure
and the it's a very fine line between
doing it for the cause and doing it for
all for yourself yes hello so really
you're what you're talking about at some
level is
sort of the spiritual mechanics of
self-deception that's right
that's correct there's no ques and
and we all know self-deception
comes in different forms you know we're
not talking about you know gross
you know self-deception is a
very very fine line
and if someone asks you how do you know
you're not doing it you're not being
self deceiving how do you know
what is we call hebrew what's the evan
moshe myers
what's the proof in the pudding that
what you're doing is for god
and not for yourself and we're not we're
talking about doing
good things
yes hillary i heard it once said that
this is the one capacity of human beings
that seems infinite
oh that's a good line very good line
so one simple answer is
if what you do doesn't go your way
you don't get stressed and anxious and
angry about
that is a simple way of testing yourself
and knowing that what you're doing
is for the cause because if you're doing
it for the cause
if from from from on high from hashem
he doesn't want it to go the way you
think it should go and it doesn't go
your way
and you don't stress out and go crazy
that shows that you're doing it for the
course
and there are other means but i think
that's a very very simple way of
of asking yourself am i doing this for
self
or am i doing it with small
and the same is here with with with
parnosa
now again here i have to say this
because it's it's important
to take the attitude well
i tried this and that and it didn't work
and therefore obviously god doesn't want
me to
it should work so i'll just sit back and
wait for the
mana from heaven to come you know
it doesn't work that way that's the
wrong attitude
if this doesn't work gestatus try
something else
and keep on trying and is there an end
to the trying no
but there's a difference between trying
and we're gonna learn in a few minutes
trying the shma or trying for self
the difference is if one's
sader if one's regular commitments to
family and hashem and everything else
that one does when things are going well
if they all go out the window because of
the stress and anxiety for parnosa
and it's a it's a very very uh difficult
thing
you imagine in 1929 30 when
the the depression the great american
depression hit i heard from people here
in borough park who remember
people coming to sri lanka's dressed
with suits
and a tie and beautifully adorned
and after that they came seven eight in
the morning
shabbos after davenink or maybe earlier
you know 8 39 they took off their
clothing they changed it to working
clothing
got on the train and went to work to
manhattan
because there was no panasonic
and that is why the shule is called
the spartak shoe yoni you hear an
interesting piece of history now
the show on 13th and 53rd that i've been
telling you about all these years called
shonri shabbos
which is the you know the minion factory
of the of the world
right four o'clock in the morning you
can get a minion for my river of 3 30.
it was part of the svardic shoe on 14th
and 45th
the big building in the corner where
cousin josela rosenblatt used to be a
cousin for a while did you guys know he
originally was in harlem when uh
the depression hit they couldn't afford
his salary
so the borough park shul this far to
shul
gave him a better contract so he moved
his family
to borough park and we know the building
in which he lived it's next to the big
bubble restore today
anyway and he was here for a year a year
and a half
so that's the shoe i'm talking about so
it's known today as this farthest yeshua
because the name is congregation anshes
fard
the school show me shabbos that's today
on 13th the
the minion factory shule was part of
this father's
shule and then they split why did they
split
in the in the 40s i believe in the early
40s why they split
or maybe earlier why they split because
of shamrock shabbos
and that's why their name is
congregation
because they were upset that people are
coming to shul
davenink with a nice suit and tie
then changing getting into their work
clothing and going and they they said no
i know you don't have what to eat but
it's shabbos
and then you know those days you know
one second those days
you know you know being politically
politically correct wasn't part of the
jargon you know the
you know he just he said it the way it
is
so they said it the way it is they said
goodbye and they made a breakaway shoe
i.e congregation chamber shabbos that's
the history
yes hillary now i just wanted to say
today you can't dive in with the suit
and tie and
anyway so i'm saying but on the other
hand you think about
moshe the struggles you know of people
having to never you talking about from
people they were free
but it they just you know they needed to
feed their families
you know it was a tremendous nissan a
tremendous
test for fruit people and not talking
about not religion
but from people everything else they did
that was a hundred percent
so when it comes to parnosa this is why
hasidis and muslims especially in
hasidis in the previous labs my muram
he speaks so much about panaso you know
it's interesting it's
this rabbit this one in particular
because he
dealt with a period of history from 1920
to 1950
where parnosa and the and the test of
parnasso with shabbos
was the like the number one challenge
for for the jew
both in europe and in america
and and this is why you'll see as we
look at
we have seen and we see how we learn
these my m and he's
always going back to an example of
parnosa because that's what people are
dealing with
in baltimore in philadelphia in boston
and worcester
in chicago in new york it's it was all
over i'm reading now
this book here it's indeed this it's a 5
600 page book
of rabbi levenberg rabbi levenberg had
made the first yeshiva in 1923 in new
haven connecticut
he was a talmud of slobodki and he made
a yeshiva then
and then the yeshiva moved over to to um
to cleveland ohio and
part of the book he talks about the
castrus
the tremendous pressure
and and and uh evil that was done to him
and others like rabbi salavaitchik known
rubbish elevatric
and boston do you know that they they
they took him to
they wanted to put him behind bars i
mean could you imagine
because they accused him they couldn't
get him
he he came out and said that the the the
kosher butcher stores are craft
and you know he's a salivation no one
he's not scared of anybody he says
the way it is because he's a year is
from him so the vat are abundant
you're talking about an orthodox
organization
who pretty much was you know bribed off
and
quiet and they felt that you know you
could use this cool on that cool and it
is kosher
and they were very upset with them they
we're not talking about conservative
reform we're talking about the orthodox
establishment
and someone or some people said the only
way we can get
to stop him is by finding something else
that's wrong with him and they accused
him of tax evasion
and it was brought before judge cohen i
wrote all these details in my book on
the raven the rebbe
and and and and um and he was acquitted
but could you imagine so they were
trying to get him behind bars so he
should be quiet on the koshers
so levenberg and this book speaks about
the
pro issues that he had with cash was in
cleveland and the same was in chicago
and the same wasn't philly the same was
in new york
there was uh and of course we know the
mob was also involved and
it was terrible terrible the pressure
but yet you don't see as much at least i
don't
as much verbiage in the previous rep as
my murim
about the issue of casualties he does
mention sometimes
that as an example but i still see
parnosa
is like the clali it's the
the general umbrella for all issues
because
why why shouldn't you keep the highest
standard of casuals because you can sell
more meat
by making a cooler hero cooler there or
having the guy come in before that
before
it's it's it's night falls but the shop
is to open up right
and and all these issues or or the
airplanes i don't know if ll still does
it but
you know airplanes starting before this
mom to do this
to get themselves prepared they're
cutting corners why
to make an extra buck to make an extra
dollar per nozzle
so panoso was always a very sensitive
issue
so that that's why that was yes yes rap
motion yes
i have a question just regarding what
you said about the families for instance
that were
you know were going to work after going
to schule yeah and this
minion the summer's job was made
obviously it was a test for everybody
with those people like were they going
hungry or they they were people that
had other means or they were just
passing the test
no they they didn't have other means but
uh
you know they i mean they scraped i mean
look
uh there's a family here in in borough
park that's been here since the 1920s
big horizon they have a bookstore
they used to have it in in the lower
east side they're the
they're like the most famous the jewish
bookstore and if you go into it you
think you're going into
a maya sharon bookstore i mean it i mean
i mean there's no computer in the front
and there's no like register it's like
you know pretty much there's only men or
women and it's really
it's been written up it's such a
phenomenal experience
next time you're in brooklyn come to
bara park just to go into bigger life
you know there's a few places you've got
to go into srimad shabba shoot
big horizons yes one sec yeah i just
i just want to say i would often to big
license
okay and even though it was like
complete disorder
if you'd asked the guy he'd know exactly
where
a safer one exactly exactly so moshe
so so big eliza's family has been here
since the 20s
i spoke to me he's really passed away
this year of slamming big lies and shall
have a list of donate he was 90 years
old
but i spoke to him because for writing
he knew a lot of history
which i needed you know so i used to sit
and talk to him and
so so this big license you know he told
me
that you know to to to to have
uh a little milk kosher milk and and
you know they would laugh at you this is
and this is borough park you know 1930
and what they would do is they would put
out on the porch
you know bottles so that other people
that were interested in call of duty
throw
could have a little a little holiday
throw so
people were scraping but those that
had the masiras nephesh you know
i can't tell you exactly how they made
it happen
but they did not work on shabbos
and they made it happen but it was the
minority let's not kid
ourselves it was the minority it was not
it was not the majority
that's why the the predica in the 40s
came out with the show mashabas campaign
and he had his rabbis like in baltimore
rabbi axelrod of the congregation which
is in the john hopkins area
you know today the school was boarded up
but i was in there
um so so he i was told
from someone that remembers he went out
in the street
with um with signs keep shabbos shreyma
shabbos
and his congregants walked in up behind
him
holding signs but this was this was uh
and this was a big a big fight a very
very big fight
schmidt shabbos not to have yeshul open
or shabbos
they tell the story with rabbi khadakov
the rebels
someone secretary crown heights in in
you know the 50s and 60s early 60s crown
heights was
an ecumenical neighborhood with many
from jews
and many not from jews chabad was the
minority in crown heights okay i don't
know
you know from 70 and on when everyone
left chabad became the majority
anyway so there was um someone near his
house i think on utica avenue
a you aid who had a store open on
shabbos
rabbi khadakov would walk by going to
fuel and coming from fuel and he would
always
look into the window he wouldn't go in
and he would nod with his head like
saying good shabbos
and he did this for weeks and months
and maybe a few years anyway
one day he walks by and he you know he's
thinking
and the store is closed on shabbos
he says what happened is he all right he
calls up
he finds out he's fine he's fine
so he says why is this door closed he
says
it's shabbos he says i couldn't tolerate
anymore you
walking by and seeing me in my store on
shabbos so i closed my store shops
and he didn't say a word you understand
he just went like this good shabbos
but the guilt got to him and i'm just
i'm saying
overall these were real
mercedes nefish things that our brethren
experienced in the hardest of times
let's just learn a few lines at least a
day
and it will continue tomorrow okay so on
page
402 towards the bottom of the another
towards the bottom but it's about seven
eight lines from the bottom
where he's talking about this idea that
parnasso
is the comes from hashem uh and he
quotes the verse
rabbish makshava's beloved i mean i love
this verse
we have so many thoughts man has so many
thoughts
but hashem but it's at the end of the
day
it's hashem's advice and guidance
that that is sustained that is what
what makes what is hap what happens
and he says in yiddish because this is
where we are i want to read the english
words they're beautiful
[Music]
what do all these thoughts help you
for zen and bellevish that have found a
man's heart
it's god's way that's going to be
sustained
so why are you spending so much time
thinking and maneuvering and plotting
and playing the south kosovo
at the end of the day who kasia nixon
all of mill milo
whatever is decreed upon you from heaven
is going to be
[Music]
don't ask mercy from the wealth
but ask mercy from the owner of the
wealth who's that
god almighty it's his wealth it's his
ashi root
so rather than putting the focus on the
the money itself and focusing on that
and exerting and knocking yourself out
and being anxious and getting
stressed and strokes and heart attacks
costs you show them
put your focus on the one who creates
[Music]
my good mind my creative
uh investing the background
that makes me a big a big mocker
and a big yacht and i'm so great i know
that itself causes the the mighty
strong powerful anxieties that one has
from business worries
he said here we go it doesn't end
with a heart attack god forbid or stress
or just you know being anxious
look what happens then you get you go
lower
because that you never says you know
your health okay like we discussed
yesterday
like a mendel's vert right it's only
half
you're a half of a mensch but there's
still a half of a mensch alive
right and that's how many people crept
out of this covet
laying there with ventilators because
their mood their mood was to live
so although the body was nearly dead
they creeped out
they got out because they were still a
half a mensch
right but look what the next thing is so
he says but
from these anxieties you creep lower oh
the mata yo rate la mata yo
and what is that how much lower can i go
and show him his money tree lip it's
sibo
he doesn't keep the times of davening
with a congregation
we're talking about a normal times
and he doesn't set times to learn taita
um
[Music]
he's drawn after pleasures indulgences
all he sees is how can i be
more comfortable how can i be more
hedonistic
how can i be more indulgent the nimshot
3403 the names
and you compare this person at this time
[Music]
like animals lahar is quite basically
or he's all he's interested in and
focused on is
to increase the honor of his home
with his knight beyond in other words
i have to have the most beautiful home
i have to have the most beautiful car
it's all about
self-indulgence
and guess what happens he says from
indulging so much your mind becomes
jaded clogged
[Music]
the sink is clogged your mind becomes
fast clogged you can't
fit your mind doesn't operate sharp
and your heart surely you feel like
you're like a stone no
feelings just like a robot
until you aren't at all a vessel to
receive
godly light this abundance of the key
and meditate and meditate in meditative
thought about hashem
we wonder why i met it
you know why you you're so you're so
immersed and gush me is
that that's that's what you're about so
how do you expect to have a godly
thought
for godliness to enter and go in and for
you to understand it
and to meditate on it you're just
clogged up
you got to unclog yourself
but since he's full of these
self-thoughts and women desires
physical pleasure desires
he's not a vessel at all at all
listen to the last words here because it
puts it all in perspective
we have a rule an empty vessel moshe
hold something in it here's my cup i had
water now it's empty i can put more
water into it because it's empty
i will molly if it's full ain't the
massive if you can't put any more water
into it
clay reikan means empty yourself out
from your goshman's decay
indulgences only then can rukhtiyas come
in
and this is an answer to all of us when
we wonder
why is it that luchnius doesn't talk to
me
again please understand we're not
talking about doing putting on the trail
we're not talking about that although
or sitting and learning a minor or a
piece of mishna you said tomorrow we're
talking about
spirit when you ask yourself why is it
sometimes i want to be more spiritual i
want to feel more i want to be more
connected
i want godliness to be
you know to be the center of my life
that's that's what we mean by being a
rookie's dick a person
the answer is you have to unplug
yourself you have to unplug yourself
from the gospels
and not and again gosh means he's saying
here he means the
the coporiality the grub kite the
coarseness
you know and once you do that then
ruknis becomes important to you and i
think
one second i think that that um
people that make sacrifices and and
including all of you made a sacrifice to
move away from the gospels of america to
the rookies of virgin's
that itself is is is a great
accomplishment it doesn't end there of
course
because that's claudia then you have to
bring it home and within yourself
but it's there's no question there's no
question and
and i speak for myself that uh to to
leave
is is a hard thing because when you when
you
when you're an environment where
everything's relatively comfortable
and easier you know easier um
it's hard to vacate because you're
immersed in it
you're you're trapped by it you're
clogged
you're clogged okay so this idea of
clogging and unclogging
you know is is a um is a broad a broad
idea
so that ever says here rabbis
but why do you waste your time
and you know spending so much time on on
over and over and i'll try this and i'll
try that and i'll try this not try that
and you get tired and get anxious and
god forbid you get sick and
and you end up in the same place if
you're you can go as you say like
jump into the right arena become
connected
and um from that perspective yes yoni
so so right i was gonna i was gonna i
was gonna add that what you said but
i'll add a little bit more of what you
said so
it's interesting because in the my
mirror in the beginning of the mimer
he's talking about
minecraft and about how a person that's
out you know
a jewish person living out of here just
role is like
you know serving idols in a kosher way
and then he ends the mimer
well he didn't
so i'm saying like it's unbelievable the
the connection
i'm not going to say he was a zionist or
anything but he's
making such a because it's very true i
remember i was living in america
you you can't get out of the goshmess
entirely
unless you totally make the break
physically right so it's
a physical and it's so true because you
could talk to a person about aliyah
there you swell
but if they're so immersed in the gosh
miss
you can't even talk to them they're not
going to be receptive
i was talking to my uncle before this
year he he owns you know kitchen clint
kitchen click on ellen coney island
historic kitchen
i'm trying to explain to him a concept
that he just doesn't know he went to
yeshiva he learned
we learned in the mirror and and
targeted us and
he just doesn't cop because he he
doesn't
you know he doesn't live here he doesn't
have the it's
a there's a disconnect there's a
disconnect like when i try to explain
what's going on here in israel or
something they don't understand what's
happening because
there's this disconnect between the
first part of
what we learned today and the ending
it's like
a lot of people trying to be very very
strong
and very you know with all the yeshivas
and all the schools and everything in
america
in flatbush and ballpark in cleveland
forever
but they're so immersed in it that they
don't understand that
it's mama's what this miner is talking
about
right then there's another issue i think
that's also comes into play and this
whole discussion is
there are there's a segment of our
community
that believes you shouldn't move there
to throw you shouldn't go
you know why because because
it's um the government is anti-religion
that's that's the argument and um
it's it's easier to do tyra mitzvahs
in a way outside than there i mean again
there is that argument and it's not just
a practical argument that they say but
they
philosophically and the holologically
and i mean
i mean otherwise rob michael feinstein i
mean
and the rebel you know and everyone else
would have gone terrence's role so
you're right on the
uh kind of uh practical end of it that
the rep is talking about the mimer
but we must know that you know there is
another shita out there
whether we agree or not that this is an
age-old uh
dispute between let's say rabbi cook and
uh baron cutler i mean whatever or even
robbie salafatrik
people make a mistake uh you know that
they think rabbi
robert salvation well i wrote and proved
that he was not pro-aliyah
in fact when rabbi risked him you don't
know this rabbi risking came to him and
he said rebbe
i'm go i'm making aliyah he says why
rabbi riskin comes to his ready rabbi
sallavating
and he says i'm making lies is why
well so so rabbi salvation who was the
father figure of
you know the american father figure of
the mizrahi and then
and the akiva and all that and
he was not in favor and he knows he then
stopped you and
and all that but i showed in my book
that the rep in him in a way had a
commonality and i think it has to do
with coming from russia
i mean we could we could you know we
could look at it from in various
different ways
in addition to and and and and then you
have to explain how his uncle
ravel brisker was jerusalem he was for
people committed israel but it wasn't
because of aliyah you see
it for him it was more of a halachic
issue i mean
it wasn't like it wasn't the zionistic
issue
so all these nuances come into play when
you talk about
a rav in flatbush who tells your uncle
stay put make make yerushalayim here
make arches roll here
until mashiach comes because that robe
is probably following you know his
goggle
who has that opinion so i'm just saying
it's it's it's not as simple
uh to say that you know uh it's only the
gosh but
but but but at the end of the day
the gospels if if it was
as easy to live the gosh miss and urges
role as it is in america
you would have so much more aliyah no
question about it i i feel that way
yes hillary it seems like god is uh
facilitating our side of that argument
yeah so
you know we shouldn't have to
why we shouldn't have to wish that such
things you know
uh but you're right you know everything
there's a message from
from on high everything's happening yeah
have you ever
ever heard rabbi winston yes princess
winston
so he says he he sums it up in one of
his
the famous shirum that he gave actually
ramat pejamesh
a few years ago a few years ago he said
the jews
they have a choice he says either they
can take an el all plane well now they
can't because
out of business could take delta
okay a plane terrence's role or they
could come on a rickety boat
yeah um it's also interesting you know
uh i'm writing about rabbi rudiment and
aries stroll in baltimore
uh for this next another book so i just
finished up a chapter
and i read in his biography and i wrote
and i
quoted it he bet he had himself buried
in the baltimore jewish cemetery
so some gadolin some russian shivas
they rabbisha feinstein you know is
buried weird
and that's israel robert rudiment you
know
is here byron cutler
you know so it's very interesting uh
that
some godzilla some russian shivas chose
there to throw
probably i think i told you rabbi
salovacic is buried
in boston not just because he wasn't
well at the end and they passed away
i heard what i'm going to tell you now i
heard from the rabbi up the road
from ace kodesh rabbi hayam salavaichik
of the shul over there
so i interviewed him when i was working
on my book so he told me
that his father of aaron salvatrik
came to his brother his older brother
in a private meeting you know with a
closed door and he said
my dear brother the family
wants you to write
in your will that after 120
you'll be buried in eretz israel
he said my dear brother tell the family
i will do what i need to do
he took his jacket and he walked out
and he did not write that he they should
bury him in eric's role
so so yeah rob i have a question
people are that that's kind of
consistent he's being he was being
consistent
with what he's living with and maybe i'm
missing the halachahs about burial
but it seems kind of hypocritical that
people will
live in america and but i want to be
very narrative
so their life physical life they want
the gush
or i'm not judging them but they're
living for that as a
but burying me and everything it seems
like they want you know the eternity
they realize the eternal factor of
stroke
but not unless they're living it in the
real
in their life you you you definitely
can conclude that however
it goes back to azoar and in fact i'm
moisture
i think even quotes it somewhere um the
impartials valleji
i believe the zohar talks about jacob
avino right mess
loimas in that whole section and it
speaks there about
is it a spiritually healthy thing to be
buried there or not and i think there
are two opinions and
that probably is the way different
people feel about it but there's
definitely one opinion
that supports what you're saying so
you know you you're being very practical
like hey guy if you didn't have the
mysterious nephews during your lifetime
then what right do you have to just park
yourself there just roll too much here
comes
you know but um you know
i think we have to be uh not
more pleasant and nice and forgive peop
forgive and whether the person is right
or wrong like you said you're saying
if a person feels that they want to be
in eric's role
they should be allowed to do that uh but
again
what do you look like sure 14 flights
alone in july coming from netflix
pedestrian just from the u.s
alone 14 flights really
in july though 14 flights 14
flights in august there's more josh fast
rabbi fast whenever

hillary hillary your words are being
mikuyu

great day zeitgeist bye-bye
