this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com in the seifer pnine the story is brought that stipler would relate that a ani once came to visit rob laser gordon or shiva of tells i had the supposed to be at his kev in london and he wanted a donation so laser gordon said no say it and i'll give you so the ani said as follows the gemara says in adaram and poor man is considered as if he's dead and we know we have a halacha mitzvah very hamas it's a mitzvah to fulfill the words of a mess so therefore i'm considered as if i'm dead you have to give me tadaka so reblahzer gordon said the foul as follows he said mitsula kamdev hames only applies if the mess tells you what to do with his money but he has no authority or right to tell you what to do with somebody else's money so this was the uh mahloikis between this ania and her blazer gordon however kham koniyevsky said that he heard a different version of this encounter and it went as it goes as follows mitzvah kayim dive hamas is if the person said something when they were alive and now they pass on it submits to fulfill their words but there's no mitzvah of kaim divrei hamas when the devarim were said when the person was already a mess so blazer gordon said you may be hush of comes but there's no mitzvah to fulfill what you say when you're already kamess so again somewhat of a humorous incident but we learned some halachic from this particular encounter between the stipe between the blazer gordon and this ani okay wishing everyone a great day you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
