so we're on page 158 in the new mimer
that we began yesterday or larba ussr
it's a pace of mimer
but uh it's relevant to
our times
uh
yesterday i instead of usually i when i
put on youtube i write mimer so-and-so
from the year
and then i put a topic or two to the
mimer
what i did yesterday is i just put the
first word ukraine war
i got three times as many hits
ah that's it marketing yeah i saw that i
noticed that it's so it's so funny i
have no idea if they just clicked on and
they heard it's a mine when they shut it
or not but
it's so interesting how the marketing in
today's world works you know it's all in
the marketing
so you ride ukraine war you get three
times as many hits and uh like i told
you yesterday uh was even shared on a
group uh in australia somewhere so barak
hashem
so we're learning this my murder and
then i've asked two questions
very simple and but yet strong questions
one question is
the mr says
sir the night of the 14th
muhammad she searched the muhammad s
with a candle
and the halachi isn't the gemara talks
about it
that only in places where you bring your
comments do you have to search and we
spoke about that yesterday of course so
if that's the case
why does the commissioner say
bikinis
you search the places not you search the
fulham you search the places
because when you write you search the
comments it implies you have to search
all over even places where you normally
don't bring inhumans so that was one
question and the second question is one
second and he said that the implication
of the way the mishna writes it is
that you have to search not for hammetts
but
and we spoke a lot about that it's very
important to understand that you have to
understand
the uh the flaws
you have to stand you have to you have
to know what the comments consist of in
your life not just put it in one bag i
have a lot of comments
what type of hummus do you have
if you want to get out if you want to
rid yourself of hummus you have to know
do you have bread do you have pasta do
you have cheeses what do you got
and the same as in character is it taivo
is it guyva
is it anger
is it um you know haughtiness is it
stealing is it race uh cheapness uh
thriftiness whatever the case and when
you identify that and we also added that
you come with an
air
second question that ever said is what's
this emphasis on the light of a candle
light
you need light or on there
and now we're going to learn what the
rebel the the previous leper starts
talking in the mind about what
art on the shum is yes moshe
yeah just going back to the or on there
is the issue
didn't didn't you say yesterday but
correct me if i'm wrong
why did the rabbit say why does the
mission say or
haner in other words why didn't just say
or yes so and then and then you you were
starting to connect the line of nerds
yeah yeah that's what i i gave you a
preview of what we're going to learn now
today inside correct
but that was the question you got it
that was the question why are on there
and my i started to explain what we're
going to learn now so let's actually get
to the text
158 and this is um
it's seven lines i believe from the
beginning of the mimer in the middle of
the line
you know the idea is
the clueless thing in our mitzvahs when
we talk about mitzvahs
versus
in addition
to the mitzvahs which are divided into
two categories positive commandments and
negative commandments known as hebrews
assay
and mrs lo sase
there's also
aspects
of spirituality in one soul that's
associated with doing the mitzvah
we're not robots
robotic judaism
was uh in a way thrown uh thrown out the
window
for sure after the holocaust and even
before but
in other words
the statel yiddish kite of a thousand
years ago and 500 years ago where as
they said in yiddish and i heard this
from my teachers
why should you do so and so i'm sure you
only heard it growing up in brooklyn
azai state kishrim that's what's written
don't ask questions just listen
fragrance concealer fred miss concilius
fragrance concoctions don't ask any
questions don't ask it just accept
and that was a mentality in europe
and uh i must say that i'm sure it still
exists in certain communities at certain
times
although although there has been a
softening but
i'm not going to say that it's
completely
um
gone it's not and
i humbly believe it should be it should
be but with
with in the right setting
in other words
we need to do
kabbalah soil but we need to understand
right nasa
nasa means act venisma means listen and
understand there's a vote
the vote of between the word nasa and
nishma joins the two together in other
words
do it and simultaneously work on
understanding it
and that's the way
i think educate
educationally speaking
i hear your question it's a good
question let's think about it let's give
it some thought let me let me and and i
want to hear what you your opinion
right away when you say that to a
student
or you say that to a child
um as a parent and all that you give
them a place
you show them importance and prominence
and you really are genuine about it
because if not you're just wasting your
time you're a fake and they'll you know
realize it then it'll be the disaster
it'll be even worse
right so we have three things
we have being a fake which is the worst
in the middle we have just do it the way
it is that's the mercedes tradition
and the the top tier would be
i hear you
let's talk about it but right now
we put on film
as you will learn and you want to learn
i'll teach you about thrilling no
problem
but
trust hashem that thrilling is good for
you you go to a doctor
he gives you a medicine
you know if you're going to waste all
your time going on the internet and
studying the medicine and there are some
people who do that
god will be you might become very ill
very quickly and it'll be too late
take the medicine
if you trust the doctor
you know if you trust them and you know
them they have a background they have a
reputation
and then yeah sure you should explore
and find out what type of medicine is
can
what's the side effects are the ways of
mitigating those things absolutely
and i say you know comes up and you know
with the with the with the we're going
off on a tangent for a second you know
western medicine versus uh holistic
medicine
a very big discussion an argument for
years right
and i point to the ramban if you look
into the rambam hillsdales
he talks about holistic medicine
acupuncture and different things
and guess what they did do some of those
things with the rabbit but once they do
it with the rabbit
when mess when western medicine science
couldn't help him anymore
you know
a stroke is a stroke and this is what it
is we tried this we tried that
so it's it's it it's it's it's a balance
and i'm not i'm not against that i'm
just saying
that you have to be very um careful we
had a friend a dear friend
who moved here to thrawn lived in swas
she passed away in her early 60s and she
was all about holistic medicine
and you know it i'm just saying and she
did all the all the whole you know
i'm not i don't know if she would have
went the conventional way she would have
lived another five ten years i don't
know
so the when the rabbit says here in the
mimer
when it comes to mitzvahs
besides doing the mitzvah
there is the spiritual look at his word
yes in your name
that take place simultaneously when you
do a mitzvah
in other words we're learning right now
something's happening now spiritually to
our souls to us as we learn we're not
yet cognizant of it and maybe we won't
be ever because we're not sensitized and
we're not open enough
but
when when we
when we allow ourselves to be in that
position
of sensitivity and spirituality you can
actually feel
the impact of a mitzvah
on you
and then you'll be able to feel that
when you put filling on the morning
you're no longer a hand
you're a hand that puts villain on
in other words it's like if someone asks
you yo listen what is your hand about
your head about it's a trillion head
it's not just a head
the how do you also have heads
non jews have heads
this is a trillion head and the same was
with siddhis
until over fabregan i think that happy
70th birthday 1972
in crown heights underneath his birthday
of nissan i heard this from rabbi
uh picarsky in in in in in north tel
aviv
that schlieveder rabbi pikarski yeshiva
pikarsky
so he told me that at this fa brengan
there were like you know
the top 770 buckled him and a bureau was
forbidden and he said
and he got very you know animated and
and he became very serious
and and and he had said quite a bit of
the
and it's late into the night he took his
knuckle you see this knuckle of mine
and he started to go like this take his
own head like this
he said until this physical head
will not see this understanding see this
won't resonate
we still need to
be diligent
we have to get to a point with this
physical brain and and skull
and and tissue
and skin
will will breathe siddhis that's what he
said that was one of his nakudas of that
night in other words here we are at 70
years that happens birthday where we we
have seleuchuma going out and and it's
great times and he says and what's with
the brain is the brain yet a hasidic
brain
and if it's not a
acidic brain
you have to you have to you have to work
so i'm saying is that ever says here yes
beneficial even before we go further you
stop and analyze those words
there are uh an act of assay or losses
do not do this
via this activity because it's it's a
contradiction what is the spiritual
counterpart
of not doing this
this is what's taking place and what we
need to
work towards
feeling and living when we do a
mitsubishi
let's continue
i need some water please
yes
but never says that
the concept of searching for comments
is also real in one's soul
over dick is coming to and that's why
when you search for your own comments
it requires the light of a candle
the fina undergo mother says mithsia
mercia means a finding you find
something shinammad it says
you must say
though that the sourdough that sat that
rises
not a lot of you know it's not allowed
to be found in your on your premises
on pesach
so we we use the word you must say
that's written in regard to
the prohibition of having or unpaid
suffering your premises nimitzia
we we
we learned we we learned something from
another time that the torah used the
word messiah
as it says
by the brothers of the isis
regarding the silver goblet
um
the word methia that's used in the verse
in the posik by the silver goblet
right they searched for it
where is that lost goblet where is it
they looked here and they looked in
these bags and these duffel bags they
looked all over so we find the concept
of peoples
searching
to find a messiah to find it doesn't
mean to find a deal in hebrew either she
said do you have a matia you have a
bargain no i mean
if it it actually finding a bargain that
also comes from itself is a special find
oh now there's a sale normally it should
be so-and-so but if you go to macy's or
you go to based in the whatever stores
you guys have there and uh and then
yeah oh here you can get it done right
so much less
it's amazing
but you have to look you got to look at
the paper on the internet the friends
you search for this and that your
people you search
so just like the word messiah in regard
to the finding of joseph's goblet
it was took
him searching
there so so too
and when it comes to searching who've
been there
it requires a candle
shenanigan it says hashem the candle of
god
nishmas adam is the soul of man
why face
that searches you see the word face
in all chambers of the womb
in other words the candle of hashem
as expressed in one's soul searches all
crevices all rooms and chambers of the
stomach meaning referring to the person
so therefore
that when it comes to
finding something you need specifically
on their candle
are you not allowed to have in your
possession of comments the answer is
mashup iota drop
there is no in other words if you find a
rum
less than a kazias or a cabela less than
an olive or
of the equivalent of an olive or an egg
whatever the case
are you over uh
is it still a desecration of having
comets the answer is yes
because the prohibition of hummus has
been mashup
a drop
even less than the shirt
over says
that the prohibition involves two
prohibitions
one is
it
one is valued oh do not see it
number two don't find it
why
look at the explanation here
because
if you could see it
it means it already is a mercedes it's
an existence
it's an entity
masha who refers to something that the
eye
doesn't see it but it's still there
you hear that
no yes motion
i just want to say that would you just
would
it's very interesting because that is a
um
that issue is if if we don't see it
in in in
in the torah in in allah
there's tremendous tremendous
ramifications in so many different
things
right
yes i mean
right many many things right for example
bugs in the water
right
lots of well
exactly right lots of things but here
pesach
that's why the terrorist says
you must say and the rebel says because
the second edition of baal matsui means
even if you don't see it but it exists
you don't see it because it's less than
a shear you can't you don't see it you
can't see it but it's there
if you know it's you must say
it's a prohibition what i told you
yesterday
is
when you know it's there and you're not
moving it or you can't get to it but if
you can get to it you have to get to it
i spoke about you know uh going you know
under your car to get comments
you know what i was saying
that's not making
no one's going to be eating comets from
under their car
but if if but if it's a place where
you might
come to it then then you have to anyway
that's by your mutsy
it's so little it's so insignificant the
answer is that's why you need a candle
and that's exactly by the way why we use
a candle why don't we use a candle
because when we walk in our house in
regular places you don't see the what's
in the crevices little cracks
you bend over and you put the little can
the candle there or on the flashlight
whatever the case
then you'll see it
[Music]
so that's why it requires a candle
behind those show your date nice but now
and now that every brings it back to the
moral to the house spiritually
through this activity
and that being the candle of god is the
soul of man in a person's dishonor there
is god's candle oh f
and you go with that force
that's why i told you yesterday what's
that force it's a candle
it's bright
it illuminates
and that's how you search for your
comets for your stick
you don't go about it with mobility you
go about it with simcha
i'm happy to find my negativity my
deficiencies
why
because i'm human i'm frail and it's
time to clean house thank you i want to
be better i want to be nicer
yes
you
you cannot find it because it doesn't
appear to be seen at all and that's why
it requires
searching which comes
specifically through a candle
and generally speaking how do you rid
yourself of comments in a yes name your
name there's two ideas
comments
now the rep is going to the next the
next stage
we have two things right we search
and then we beer
we get rid of
we destroy we burn the comments let's
see what he says
the shnayam both of them immediately
although both of them are on the 14th
one is at night avraham and what is in
the morning
they're different in their timing
is on the day on the 14th
in the morning
sorry
so that asks now a third question
what's the difference between the 9th of
the 14th
of the 14th
that the
specifically at night our boss of the
14th the happy or the burning could be
your mata basket specifically by day
now you're probably asking yourself a
question and wondering what's the
rebel's question
in order for to search and you want the
candle to be lit well
you do it at night because a day there's
lights in the candle won't have any
use
but he's talking spiritually
how logically we know that
but spiritually
why is the emphasis on searching
for your own comments the night activity
and the day activity is eliminating it
what's the cashier between night
good question
so that's the third question
you know the idea is the layla
the night of the 14th is called ir right
look at the beginning of the mimer on
page 158 from the according to mishnah
now
what should it have really said in in
hebrew should have said what yoni
lail
the knight
of the 14th
it doesn't say lail
it says the light
are the light of the 14th so let's go
back now to 159 and he says
the mishna
calls the knight of the 14th or
light
okay i'm right as it says earlier
the uh marble also so what's the 14th by
day called
negro rishi it's called richard nikamara
talks about
seven days you shall not fight any any
dough that rises the sour that though
that arises in your house because if it
says
however on the first day
of the first day
you should get rid of
all of this what people are taking from
your house
okay so it seems to be a contradiction
you just told me that i'm not allowed to
have it on the first date and then you
tell me i should i can have it enough to
get rid of it
la robles the tomorrow says it's a quote
from the komodo this comes to include
alba also the beer
that on the 14th the the day before
pesach begins you have to do
beer
although pesach doesn't begin till the
night of the 15th
khazal derived from these two
that seem to be contradictory they say
it's not a contradiction because it
refers to the day before
and we call it rishon although it's not
the reason right what's the reason the
15th is the first
the first day of pesos the restraint is
the 15th not the 14th but the because
i'll call it because beer begins the day
before
and that's how we know that beer is on
the fourth on the on the 14th by day
who are you today
oh we have an interesting concept says
that the beer hub it's experienced to
writ to burn your comments
it's coming from richonne it's the first
it's like pesach
it has the potency of rishon
literally first to the 15th
it's impossible
we can't do beer on the first day
because there's another verse that says
seven days you shouldn't have any sir
how can i get rid and burn comments on
the first day when i'm not gonna have it
for seven days including the first day
so the hazards say that that word we
shown you here
that literally would mean
the 15th doesn't mean the 15th it means
the 14th
and that's how we know that on the 14th
you have to do beer comments
okay
that's why beer begins with the 14th
and the titus calling the 14th re-shine
and now we can clarify and explain the
difference between searching for
comments and burning
it's beyond our boss it's on the 14th by
day
which is called the first hamish also
just like the 15th when peso begins now
he hasn't explained it yet but he's just
setting the
is the stage
so the specialty of the 14th at night is
that it's or
and the specialty of the 14th by day
it's that it's reassuring what that
means he'll explain later yes
my story about the river is that he
spent the whole night in a little room
looking for hummus
so obviously you know he was looking for
spiritual woman that was
[Music]
you should know
that uh the person who
helped the rabbit the rabbit sim for
pedicus comets one of the people um
related that the rebel would spend i
mean you know that
had a house
but he also spent hours i don't know if
it was all night but it was
you know he spent a lot of time in and
and
in other words
it was only him and the rabbits in the
house and it was she kept the immaculate
house
it was clean you know
he could do think his comments in the
half
five ten fifteen minutes
and he told he told us
they have a basement downstairs which
she went down to the basement and he
went here and he went there it's like he
went he went all over
that goes back to what jonah was asking
about you know how about cleaning you
know he didn't have to go to those
places because
who knows if he even went down
i can't imagine he went down to the
basement throughout the year
he had nothing in the basement
in fact one he
he he allowed and invited one of the uh
us aides
to live in the basement and he was a
plumber and to bring his plumbing
equipment into his basement which he did
so the basement was full
so it's it's his responsibility and the
rabbit goes down to the basement to
check the basement
so you talk about the altered
i'll end with uh uh with with what i
i met someone who's
learned to punish many years ago in the
eighties he's a talmud
just met him schulman i mean i i've seen
him he's here probably raising funds for
whatever
and he comes himself he says from the
babbage
way back habakkuk
but he was raised in the literature way
so i don't know if he you know if he's
genuine or not genuine in his in his
attitude towards the babbage but doesn't
make a difference
so he told me some amazing things about
raph shah and the rabbit that i wish i
would have known before i wrote my book
on ponovitch and lubavitch because i
would have included it
including listen to this
this is a first for the internet
it says i was standing there he says i
didn't see this from someone who hear it
i was there when that ever had a stroke
in 1992
i was in the basement and i saw and
heard rabbit shark asking for the
rebbe's mother's name because he wanted
making me shabaira
so the next time a lit or ponder
victor who you know has issues with
lubavitch and the river just tell him
this i can get you his name then he was
standing there
that's what he told me
he said no i don't need i saw it and
heard it with my own eyes
but
one other thing he said was
about the altar
he said he saw once he came in to think
of shaq's house at 12 o'clock and he was
sitting and learning
again there you know
no he was
he came back to his house 5 30 in the
morning he was in the same position
learning dalton
five and a half hours learning
and trying to understand something
and then he said so he
he was like amazed
you know
given given all the rhetoric of the
eighties
so he says i'm not shocked says to him
i'm not gonna say that he's a re-showing
but he is the re-shine of all the ahraem
in other words
this is big stuff
this is not this is no small change
so
when we talk about
we're talking about re-showing and
re-showing
burning the comets
is called re-shine
you know there's different attitudes
towards reshaping
and sometimes you have to
allow yourself
to come to a place where
you understand there's a bigger picture
to
to the rhetoric that the community
creates and this is in all communities
you know whether it be the karabakh
community the chabad community the
breslau community community the safari
community i mean where is there not
hiluko deus you find that for me and
i'll give you you know i'll give you a
few medals
okay
that's the nature of the beast but
that's not that's not the fiddish that's
not the novelty that we know
the kuntz the trick is to bring it
together and to
and to sh and find
a general unity
and like i told you i heard from the
rebel myself with these ears my friend
brandon once
there ever said
lucay deyes difference of opinion is
healthy
what's unhealthy is machoichus
you can quote that line
mach lucas
divisiveness
is very unhealthy
difference of opinions
is healthy husband and wife who says
they have to agree
what does that say
then as long as there's respect
but if two people have different ways of
processing
so be it
but as soon as it becomes
you versus me that's machlakis very
unhealthy
and the same was with the youth
you know we talked about pasha zuckers
coming up this shabbos
you know the touch this tight you guys
are going to like because i bring about
this this shabbos mushroom ace kodesh
amalek comes from the word amo a
molecule is a hebrew word
in yiddish there's a word amo it's
spelled with an aleph not with an
iron a mole means once upon a time
once upon a time i had a zaydi oh
once upon a time i had a rosh shiva
once upon a time
oh i was holy but no
no one's around and no one cares
get rid of a molec get rid of the once
upon a time
if you only live with the past and you
don't see it in the present
get rid of that because it's not
the case
i mean you know i i live
i love
history but i always say that if the
history doesn't become
an aid to what you're doing now and for
and to realize that it's
important now and for the future then
the study of history is like the rebel
would say it's like a museum
you go to a museum it's a relic of 200
years ago what do i have from it not a
goonish
i think i told you my grandfather was
sean told me that he heard that maisha
dayan was successful in his in a six-day
war and how he planned the the war
because he knew tanakh and he uh and he
from based on his knowledge of tanaka
two years a thousand years ago in that
urarium but she imagined that whole area
the position was he was able to
strategically figure out where they're
coming how they're going what the cities
are and he used it for war his war
tactics during the six day war
so there's an example where you study
history and the study of history in that
case knowing whether you know the cities
to the right the left and all that and
you and you bring it into the current
situation
[Applause]
right
remember what amolek did to you if it's
only in the past it's an amulek
we didn't talk about this in our mind
but if it's only on a past experience
right what does the balsham to say
another taj we're going to read the
magilla next week
says
if you read the medulla backwards from
chapter five four three two et cetera
you don't begin with one two
you haven't fulfilled your obligation
comes the holy basham devin explains if
you read the megillah in a backwards way
meaning that it happened once mordecai
000 years ago in esther and it's like a
story like so
you haven't read really the megillah
technically you read the megillah but
it's it's not you didn't get it
the mcgill is happening now the enemies
are there now the humans are there now
esther and mordecai what they do for us
gathering the yiddish
and and everything else is real now
so in 1975 when the shlokan were in
miami they're all the bakarim and they
tell the rebber we brought together five
thousand children to say
sukim of toran to give sadaka and there
ever says beautiful and that's all
mordecai did 24 000. you're behind
nineteen thousand
whatever twenty thousand
and nineteen thousand right like
thank you very much
you gathered 5 000 children
but if mordechai his time can get 24 000
children gathered you can only do 5 000.
now you think the rabbit wanted to make
him feel bad
the rebel was not a nice person
no he's telling these young you know
soldiers of his they're moving
and if i told you
um
1951 5051 before the rebel became
officially a rebel there was a fabregan
in the nachos
shul in tel aviv you know in nachos
which stays a very artsy area there's a
little baba to shul that's been around
70 years
it's if you ever get a chance you should
go in there because a lot of special yid
and daven there
my father even was there when he was
above her anyway
[Music]
because of her brain i'll give the
shabbos
two of the gerardi
uh brothers herb shmero
and rab moshe
and they learned in the babbage
and and then and they were talking of a
brain and they said kind of jokingly
about their cousin
rabbi gurari in in in in crown heights
the previous rabbit son-in-law who they
knew as shimero you know that was his
name not not as a joke his name was
mario and and she called shmero
so
you know this is their cousin so they
each you know each one said to the other
one like
like i you heard meryl
is thinking of being a rebbe or they
want or they want schmell to be rebel
okay you understand this is cousin
speaking this you know and they
and i guess they didn't feel that he's
of rabbit quality he's a good person an
important person and a great person but
a rap is a different a different
all of a sudden the rebber's brother
abisroe arya labe walks in i heard this
from the son
of someone who was there
rabbi scheinberger he lives in coral
springs we grew up together
actually originally the families of
yerushalayim anyway
so his father was there
and he
if israel are you laid comes in
and
he sees this they're talking there's a
commotion
you know and pushing under the nose
you know like i mean these are like you
know classified conversation
i know moshe would love to be there i
would do
so he says what's what's the big deal
what are you talking about so they tell
them
that there's no their previously passed
away now they're deciding should the
rabbit be the rebber your brother your
brother
or
or uh his brother-in-law rush shock and
he stole all your legs knew knew the
rush on his family he knew you know
so this is what he said
he said basically my brother will be
there
that's what he says
and and with a serious face he said and
boy will he teach you guys what it means
to be
a servant
he said in hebrew
what it means to be a servant
so you know here you are kind of you
know
in other words the way i'm reading into
it this is my interpretation
he was saying to these two gerard
brothers who he knew as well
and he's saying you guys are kind of poo
pooing your cousin
but you don't know what you're in for
with this brother of mine
that's gonna be the rebel
you guys are to be working hard
and you're not going to have rest and
that's the way it was
and
and they went along
and they worked for the river
but i thought that line is so
this was just a little kiddish with a
vert
1950 50 tel aviv knockouts
you can imagine sitting around the table
with a little heim and a piece of air
ink
and they're talking and singing if i'm
bringing rabbit's brother comes in and
he says what's going on what are you
talking about what are you what's the
big commotion
and he tells them
get ready for
work
so that boys it comes put it in we need
to work we need to work in the sense of
it's a serious day rabjoyal would always
have a vert because on the bakari drank
a lot and they made themselves silly he
had a sudden 30 40 50 bakarim and and
all elderly people came to be part of it
and some of the book got a little rowdy
so he would turn to them and say
the rowdiness you leave for tish above
it's serious time
serious in a sense what's the message
let's put him about
you want to make yourself crazy and
drunk and sugar do that on tish above
you're not supposed to drink it but you
know
you know fish above you know don't
become all holy tish above
if you if you're really holy you
wouldn't be drunk today either so you're
not really holy and if you're not really
whole we should do it i'm just above
huh you're interesting you like that
we gave you a good for bringing this
morning
okay
have a great day we'll see everyone
tomorrow zeid bye bye
ciao
