Shalom a good of
shabas we're embarking
on
shabas everyone knows that klave is a
month of light
illumination then holidays of which
isn't only a a holiday
a for the or
for it's a iph for everyone and I'll
tell you
why in
1907 after the published
his published four four essays
and over there he discusses the
importance of
learning in
Thea at the time there was there were
students who were in The Yesa who came
from backgrounds where they didn't learn
seriously this and I'm talking even
about backgrounds but their parents and
Grandparents were from a period of time
where the idea of
learning daily and and and and and
immersing yourself in like you would in
a a talmudic section that needs
Clarity that it didn't do and the rashab
wanted them to learn that way so he
wrote an entire essay
called and one of the things that he
says there is that those that don't
learn and don't want to
learn and say that it's adequate just to
learn
goral says that that you're your that
persons and those that mindset is
lacking fear and a
of God
Almighty it took a few years till the
the L world at the time
the ands and and everyone
else got wind of this and when they got
wind of it the talim who heard about it
got very upset and they formed a
committee and the rashab the records
this
in a letter at Great length and it's a
mustre
letter and he says there was there were
two
groups righties and lefties like half
the day rightwing and leftwing liberals
and
conservatives the the lefties they
wanted to put the in in an
excommunication
ban of course
B and ban him as
well to he he he became in their eyes a
pariah an outcast if he could say such a
thing because basically they felt he's
posing he's
invalidating all of the lyas they don't
learn see this they learn and says that
they're not they don't
have the the the righties the right-wing
the more
conservative of the of of those uh
yeshivas and students said you know what
we're going to form a committee and the
committee should go to for R the our
leaders and let them decide what to do
and that's what happened and who did
they go to they went to
the they went
toi they went
to
bris and if I I forget now the fourth
person
and they came and they and they said
to this and this happened what should we
do said to
them I know theab I know
of of Lich how do I know him I know him
because again this happened to before he
met him in 1910 at the conference at the
vi the famous
conference this happened in 1907 he says
I I sent my
R to laich for some reason for some ason
this communal issue and he happened to
go in and see the way the B learning in
the Z in B medes and he was blown away
he was so impressed the the the
diligence and together with that the arm
kite the poverty they didn't dress fancy
they didn't you know slka they were
dressed nice and clean shaven and they
looked like a million bucks you looked
atab in those years is
given whoo whoa whoa to the way he was
dressed
cuz they didn't have they didn't have
funds to dress nicer anyway
so the said if he gave me that report
Then I then whatever theab wrote you
must have you must not understand it
properly it's all right and have a nice
day and he sent them
home then they came
to a v was the leader of communal
activities throughout VNA and not only
VNA but all of these surrounding areas
and people and all funding came from him
from the
vas he was like the the de cisor in a
way o was a smart man and he said I
won't answer you I won't tell you my
opinion I want you to ask the r brisk
and whatever brisk says I will do I'm
thinking now maybe it was only three
people they went to not four
people
anyway they went to Le
says really he
says I never saw
this maybe you leave it with me
overnight come
back and I'll tell you what I
think that's what they did they
left
overnight they come back the next day
says I read what it says and exactly
what the says is exactly
correct
without is
missing I this is this is I'm saying now
are you going to ask a question in
brisis etc etc they
Lear we have a question
will allow the the the the the
the philosophers and thinkers to give
answers
but WR and if he writes it because he
was he was
involved
that told them that you don't understand
really what the is saying didn't read
the did go through it or or that
section and he said you don't understand
what he said and what he said is is
correct that this brings you to more now
I say all this because it's the month
of this isn't a month for us laes
andik to pump ourselves and push our own
horn that's a
given this is a month
to share the
wealth today we live in a time where if
you have something good you have a good
product you want and you should and
you'll benefit if you share the
wealth this idea of things not being
known and being under cover is far
gone from the
Wikileaks to other
leaks to everything coming out what the
the prophet says the the noi says his
body of his
things will become
clear as clear as white it you can't
hide anymore we see this today there's
no hiding
anymore if one thinks he's hiding he's
only hiding in his own mind but he's not
hiding so this is the
month when we need to share the wealth
and how do you share the wealth you
share the wealth by number one being Aid
Yourself number two being a learning
number three meanings means doing acting
with and number four is reaching out to
that didn't Lear yet and that
includes who if you have a you have a
connection to rabbis and and Rabon and
and people of leadership in your area go
into them say hello say good
shabas speak with
them become friends
and once you do
that share of Art and hopefully what
you'll share will be inspirational and
galic it'll be really uh a good insight
and they'll see your
sincerity more than the knowledge and
more than the idea and more than the
expertise when a a person sees the
sincerity of a ye and in this case of
another of
Aid everything melts away
and that's that's exactly what happened
with here's
bris the the father figure of of
Lithuanian jewelry
the and of
the and he could say that the re rashab
is right why because he knew the rashab
and he saw that this ye is special what
makes him special
not the the depth of s and I and the my
and the discourses and and everything
else that he's that he that he was what
makes him special is is he's
a he's a that's connected
to and he has B and all the G and all
the ego that others have this individual
doesn't have it oh such a person
want to be around and now is the same
thing all of these and all the and all
of these big makers they all flocked to
the Reba like bees to a
beehive they picked up honey there why
cuz the was so butle so subserving
to he had he didn't have you know stick
about himself that that foolish
ridiculous
stick
ego I say it and I want and I know
better Dr drop all that and this is the
month
comes
it's time it's a the best time to
celebrate to learn to think to to s
all the whole month of course you have
to learn
without of course you have to learnig of
course you have to
know but all permeated
with as we go into this month and we
look at the
real G of the past
bris they all sided with the when the
the students from the various isas
wanted to make a a ban an
excommunication and they said no and it
didn't
happen so they should help
that the time that we come to we relive
we're reborn
is we should
go and we will go
towards to bring
the whoever needs yesu whoever needs
yeshu
