okay good morning
friend this is our uh
last onus we made a there was the uh
National or International Shear on
cuis uh Thursday night in the
Brightstone in in our show we made a see
onus
beem in
tab I'm going to be at
Theus in South Africa there's going to
be a a ma major celebrating subus in
South
Africa but now today we we have a very
special and that is we actually had
some kind
of I mean we dug into something on every
BL so this is a separate inion that we
were to uh spend time on an inion on
every blotting subis I might break this
up into two parts one will be new for
everyone and the other I'll repeat
something we said on
chabas okay so we have a very
interesting question here because the
gar tells us we're going to start with
the the gar tells us that of the very
loving practices of the
toward R ABA kissed the
stones if I'm not mistaken the first
time I went to I was 10 years
old and I was told that when you go to
to you have to get down on the floor and
kiss the stones I don't remember who
told me that maybe my
grandparents I don't know so that's what
people were doing so I think I I think
we did that not that I felt any
particular uh a
special at that age but that's what you
were told to do so I think that
engendered a
certain I think at the time people were
doing it in any event it comes from this
that he kissed the stones of AK I'm just
thinking is AK
even because the mishna
says that it's not part
of but anyway actually to to asks this
question that's to to asks Mas
yeah we learned this okay fine so
says half was okay in any
event he brings a story about the brisar
when he came to is somebody was
following him
the guy was going to you know he was
snooping on him to see if he would kiss
the
ground he saw the gz didn't kiss the
ground so he said Rabbi why are you
kissing the ground
the r doesn't just bring down
stories what does that
mean
um the ramom doesn't just bring down
stories and he oh the ra that's what the
gri says the ramom doesn't just bring
down stories and and the Grizz didn't
explain what he
meant one the Grizz Sons asked what did
the gri mean what do you you
mean the great sages would kiss the
borders of
Israel by the way that rambam is very
telling to me I didn't realize this I
think the Ram's bother by to's question
another other words question why did
reab AB kiss why didn't he
kiss it seems
like he's kissing the borders of right
that's what it sounds like from the r
he's kissing the borders why the borders
because that shows this
is there's a certain there's a certain
in other words when are you mades shabas
your mades shabas at the beginning your
mades at the end when there's a when you
could see the difference between the
alternative that that should engender
the theba so maybe that's the emphasis
on why RAB ABA would be
Mas like like to says half of it was in
and half of it was out anyway but that's
not the emphasis that the Grizz was
picking up I'm just pointing out that's
another interesting n on the ram the ram
says the great
sages this is not just a
story this
is this is only for the great
sages it's
not so writes the writer of the so here
we have a very authentic source the
magazine the
paper reports the story about the Grizz
that the reason why the Grizz did not
kiss because when the r records it he
says not every you know and not every
Joe and not every regular person so to
speak um kisses
only now the r also says
in other words you could ask a question
why do we
say why don't we go out to the fields
you ever wonder about that why don't we
go out to the fields the answer is
because when the raham codifies it he
says that this was something
the used to do well we're not on the
level of
and therefore this is not a practice
practiced by everyone this is
the I want to add you know at the C on
Thursday night uh rev Lea gorth spoke
and he said a diok in the Rashi one of
the rashis
on because the gar brings other
practices the gamar brings the practice
of Rami and rasi who would go from the
Sun to the shade and from the shade to
to the sun
because um they didn't want to be
uncomfortable and it would bring them to
complain about is and then the brings
the practice
of would roll in the dust and the quotes
the like the
says for your servant loves her stones
and cherishes her
dust and Rashi amazingly says something
very unusual Rashi
says Rashi just cites the and Rashi
omits one word he omits the
word the
says
andash omits the word sh he just quotes
the
p
and the R gorth said over from the B I
saw this from IM that rash is saying
something very important that if you
just go over to the stones of and kiss
them because that's what it says in
the you're a phony you're a fake you
can't kiss something because it says in
the PK you should kiss it kissing means
you love it you can oh the T says kiss
it okay mwah mwah mwah it's meaningless
it's it's an empty meaningless Behavior
so Rashi takes out the word shanar
shanar is not why you should kiss it the
shanar is saying as we know there were
some people who loved AR so much that
they cherish the stones but not you
can't kiss the stone because there's a
in in the that says to kiss
it so
perhaps maybe the motivation behind what
the brisk grv was doing was that this is
not like a go kiss the stone it has to
be completely natural and if it's not
natural it should not be done it's
similar to another idea the brisar says
you know the Kaz say that one of the
Amar um would
wait would say that he's like vinegar
compared to wine compared to his father
CU his father would wait 24 hours
between M and fik and he
wouldn't so the risk says why wouldn't
he if your father did it so do it what
do you mean his father did it but he's
like vinegar compared to Wine don't be
like vinegar wait 24 hours so the bris
would say when it comes to
a a is meaningless unless you really
feel the concern and the worry of it
could lead you to do something wrong
only then are you allowed to be M but if
you're just doing it I want to I want to
be M it's it doesn't mean anything so he
would have done it if he felt the need
for Ziro he didn't he wasn't on that
madga meaning in order to keep a you
have to be on that madga similar to that
in order to show love you have to really
love
it
anyway um yeah you know uh you could
make the same case for that you could
make the same case by the way you know
rhenen says you're not a lot of kiss the
Tyra you know that rev henin
said that who do you think think you are
you're so close to the Tyra you could
just go kiss it who's it do you think
your T is your wife she the tar is like
your fifth cousin 70 times removed sohin
says you should not put your mouth on
the Tyra besides he says that you're
transferring billions of bacteria to
anybody who's coming after you he says
it's um
presumptuous okay look nowadays if
you're not going to kiss the T you know
they're not going to give you Al and
they're not going to they're going to
check into your if you don't
but uh there is there is what to think
about
anyway um here in this saer which saer
is this Mas it's the
Mas so he asks you know the ra uses the
same in y regarding s you should give s
before and the of the ra here in the
booklets he brings
the by the way it it doesn't mean right
before you when you say G you should
give means
sometime
before whether it's by Ash or whether
it's
by this
way
of so the
ra says um to give before
the would give and they asked well why
do you give you don't kiss the
stone only says so why do you give
before ding so the safer
answers
is is a great mitzvah for every single
Jew now the timing of it is to give it
before so that the G do because it's
he's not doing something that only do
everyone has to give that so if the
timing of it is only
for then the Grizz would do it but the
whole inion of kissing the the stones is
not a Mitzvah it's only for that the
Griz didn't do the the D booklet brings
down that the
r
interestingly
in
writes anyone who's buried in gets kapar
but you're better off being there when
you're
alive and the gar says even though
you're better off being there when
you're alive
the great sages would would try to be
buried
there so is that only for to be bued
in or you'll say well I would say the
same thing Kap everyone needs kapar so
the indion of kapar is not only
for I don't know okay that's an
interesting tumble
so he's saying uh there it's not
presumptuous it's just it's just less
painful okay
[Music]
um very good so that that concludes this
segment I want to share with you just
one uh short thought record
