Rav Shmuel Berenbaum ZTL - R. Zecharia Wallerstein - TorahAnytime.com

want to talk about rashmul allah shalom just for a couple of minutes he was married yeshiva and to understand that talmud connected what he was famous what he was known for was his mother shmuel birmbam never stopped learning he learned and learned and learned and learned but not normal in other words even russia shiva's you know they have a wedding they have this and that so they would leave yeshiva in the middle they have no choice but never left the basement he never left plused it was over he was my masonic conducion and he told my he told my parents and myself that he would love to be my messianic education but the has to be after eight o'clock because he will not leave the basement until seder is over and kakayama was like at 8 30 and he was and he was masonic education there are many many stories of his mother which was which was amazing um i just heard i heard today a story where and he didn't get involved in politics he didn't get involved in anything outside the base of madrid that was that was his world sitting and learning and giving share and learning and giving share he didn't understand anything else someone told me a story today that they wanted him to come to their gooda convention a long time ago and rav maisha feinstein oliver shalom and um uh raviaco kaminetsky and muncie so they were through the two bigger delia dar and they wanted to invite him that he should come they wanted our schmoe bearmouth to be there so the discussion went between them ramesha feinstein said i don't want to call him sir jacob said why don't you want to call him he says because any time we call him we're going to do we're going to be movable torah because no matter what time we talk we're going to call him he's learning and i don't want to cause the sushiba to be my bottle tourist so jacob kaminetsky said i don't want to either so they didn't call him so he didn't call him that that's how that's how the good island was scared to call him because no matter when you're going to call him he's sitting and learning you can't you can't you can't break up his learning he was he was just a person who just sat and learned and learned and learned and he didn't know anything else and he wasn't he was i mean he went through shanghai he went through the war but la maisie was in america i think he's in 55 years he was a mayor in a very very long time he was my i was in yeshiva 30 years ago 32 years ago and what he never he never he never stopped learning um so they said a story about leviah it's a little hard to understand but if you knew him it's not so hard to understand so he told his son i'm i'm not sure i'm i'm repeating it the way i heard it i was there maybe some people will be scared to repeat such a story because maybe it'll be misunderstanding i'm just going to explain to you what his one of the people who got up and said that reshmuel allah rashashiva told one of either his son or one of his talmudim that he's dominating to hashem that before he dies whenever he's going to die he's supposed to die he's going to die but before he dies he should get cancer so the student or this or his son said she was diving you should get cancer yeah cancer why would there is such a thing so this was his answer he said when i'm so i'm not concerned i'm not not dominating to die i don't want to die i want to live until he's 140. but he said whatever my time is i don't want to go up just go to sleep at night awake and and die in my sleep i want to suffer and the the most suffering today is this is the is the disease of cancer so he said why does the rich people want to suffer she says because because the good islam of las dar the holocaust and everything they went through the a blast door though when i come up to the next world i want to learn with them and and i didn't suffer as much as them so i'm not going to be on that level they're not going they're not going to learn with me so i said if i have to die at least before i die i want to suffer so that the uthurim will take away all my awareness and i'll be able to sit and learn in the yeshiva shall my law to learn with them so he said to him but sheba lost two sons two of his sons his one of his the son that was a very very big inheritance throw was killed in a car crash another son was was killed uh was shot now by accident by by an israeli soldier who thought that he was that he was an enemy he didn't see him with dark whatever was a story but he lost two sons and two of the two big big people so so is this thomas said there was a shiva you're suffering enough you lost two children you're suffering enough what are you dominating you should get cancer he says no as much as i suffered to get to see those people in the next world that have to suffer more this is a short moment and he got cancer he said hashem listens to my tillage you're here you hear how a person where a person and and and two days before he died so he couldn't he was he was always thinking a target someone was saying that i don't know he took some kind of thing in cancer they had to treat him and they they stuck metal rods in his head while he was up it was like the most agonizing pain that a human being can imagine and they had like these seven of the best and the biggest you know surgeons and doctors were there when they had to do it because it has to be done very carefully and it's like crazy pain and the sun said by leviah that that he was the whole time they were doing sticking these metal things into his head he was talking entirely he was saying but but i don't understand the end of sick ratio and these seven doctors are standing there like there's no human being that can you know you're supposed to be screaming in pain and and here this man is what is he talking about that's the son what is he talking about he said this is my father he's just a piece he's he's a gomorrah he's a piece of gemara you can stick you can stick all the needles he wanted to gemara the gemara's not going to cry he said he's a stick tomorrow that was russia shiva so he asked him if a week before he was very very sick his son asked him so is he he said tati are you scared of going to the next world are you scared he asked me he's scared to go to the next world he said what does it mean the next world he says you know when a person dies he goes to the next world he says what's the difference between this world and that world in this in this world you learn and in that world you learn because i'm not going anywhere it's the same thing what did it be scared of he had no nothing to do with this world this world was in the basement madrid in mir i i'm not telling you a story about something we read in a book i live with this i i learned in mirror i'm you know i i told you a few weeks ago how i was there shiva got up and i was it was like amazing to me i watched this man i mean most people would have been dead uh 20 years ago he had a massive heart attack he he used to make a joke he la my said they say when he i remember it was more than 20 years ago i was in yeshiva it must have been 30 years ago that he had this massive heart attack and and he was gone he was in the other world already he was gone and he came back and he said the doctor said it was such a heart attack that no human being could have and his heart got very very weak from it and he said that he went he went to the he that's what he told somebody that he went to the he left this world he came to the curtain in the next world to go over and they said no the the world needs you the world if you're not going to be in that world it's going to be very bad and they sent them back down and and he said that he he he had a a defibrillator and he did they did an operation defibrillator under his skin that when his heart stopped it would it would shock it like when you like the paddles when it was inside his body and he used to tell them he used to tell the guys he said i would be walking and my heart would stop hashem help me and my heart would start it wasn't to him it wasn't it was just it's just he went from shiva learning amara and and i'm sure he hopes that that the kumari was learning they're learning whether they're learning yeshiva that they're learning in in in in yeshiva shaman they're also learning service but this is this is what this is the level that he was on i know somebody that went to him that there was a somebody that was very sick and they needed a meifes you know so we all go to the big mukubalam and the smaller you know russia and this person was very sick and he gave a bracha and mama she were for the doctors have no idea so this person came back to rasheed and he said he said i understand how are you a mifis you're my kubo well you know you became a makobo he said look for sure yeshiva there's no kabbalah you know what i mean you can't look he said listen when your whole life you talked in the gemara you talked to bayan rava and robin schmoyer once in a while you could ask him for a favor that's what he told them she's learning all the time he's saying your name all the time you're talking to them all the time because he's learning whether you're talking then you can ask him once in a while you know rather get involved you know go in front of hashem it's amazing such a loss that we have guys it's so scary you don't understand in this room the boys don't understand but the void when it went a gutter like this it said he was protecting the whole america i'm very scared of what's going to happen now that he's not here the only thing that you can have any hope that we're going to exist is that it also says that when a great sign it leaves the world it's mahaprabhu on the door he forgives the door and he suffered a lot so we we're hoping that he goes in front of chris morocco and that the void that he left cannot be replaced there's nobody there's nobody that can replace the void but that he should be misfollowed for you know he should be misspelled for klayastro his torah was his terror was absolutely it was amazing and and and it was a regular person i said to somebody he was a moloch he said no he's not a mallach don't tell anyone he's a mallak because we can't be a malach he's a regular person and and when he came to this lavaya it was packed thousands ten thousand twenty i don't even know how many people and he was a person who never left the base of madrid he's the most faint one of the most famous goddard of the dar but he never mixed in politics or koshrats or any organizations he lived in the base of madrid and became the most famous person outside the basement because thomas tyre is connected coulomb learning toilet that's that's above and beyond everything else you
