SIYUM HARAMBAM, Rabbi chaim Shapiro, 5783

koala I'm not someone that speaks with all the different occasions other than my little paladamus but I have a weakness and the weakness is for some reason because you know like in your formidable years when you're younger things have a lasting impression on us and when the devil came out I was a young child of uh option men knowledge I was 11 years old or 10 and a half years old I was a young boy and I was living in Miami I think that was the first pay sign in many years that we weren't invited my parents had traveled to Russia for putting left us alone we never coming back go to Russia who comes back in those days and then we ended up staying for PESA and Miami then after base that we heard all about that Canada there was a tremendous tremendous excitement I was a little kid there was no uh things weren't getting facts at the time we didn't know the basics say that and of course as a kid I was going to learn one paid I mean who's gonna win so we got the message that I'm next Sunday we're going to start learning the hakdom of the Ramba so my father the language you started sat down with me and my brother who's about a year younger than me I've learned that the government so we sat down and he learned with us we had no idea that if you're doing one pay that you're supposed to split the half dollars in three days he didn't know so we learned a whole lot of the way the sheer didn't make it to us we by mistakes so to speak words and the next day we learned by the time we got finished already those few days we found out that we're ahead we already uh started so my father continued learning with us three o'clock alarm every single day believe it or not we were little kids 10 and 11 years old and every single day we learned in the mornings I used to go with my father sometimes he was going downstairs she was seven o'clock in the morning we would get in the car earlier than to go to school and we would go learn the ram banking some other kids heard they would call me up one is and they would join us to learn every single day I remember even before I went to camp in the summer my father asked my brother believe it or not that he should learn with me and my brother it was then Summer of the first year still remember um to learn with Osama every single day so I had this I don't know this and this guy when it comes to the limbo that I'm of someone in my age who was young it's like part of my childhood growing up learning number I can't say that I never miss the Ramba that I will not say I'm sure I did miss I know I missed but nevertheless since then but even Chloe had been learning Namba man I'm standing here and I want to express I call this authority to my father who actually I I can't imagine that I would be able to do that with my children every single day to learn to do drugs and the funny thing is a lot of the rambam that I remember is actually from those that I learned then with my father and it's a tremendous tremendous activity that I have so standing here today I have a weakness so Milo will speak a little bit about the evaldi kite of being able to fulfill and study that episode I just also remember at one point just reminding yourself as a child we were standing we were learning I remember was there any hookers those days at some point and I got frustrated learned the whole album who could finish the album a year I was a little kid so I remember something that my father told me that as a kid and I still use it when I learned he said why are you looking ahead across a little bit back look at the amount of pages that you learned already until now and I look hey we're turning Pages this is amazing because I we're able to learn and continue learning Namba and then when we finished it I'm going to start again learning lamba to give us and that itself the past gives us the push for the husband and also for the Austin my father reminded me once we were speaking about Rama that he remembered that tissue afterwards so everyone sits by the adventures to wait for the devil's so my father was sitting in 770 with me and my brother and learning with us and he told me that people walking around like who's this crazy person learning with this 10 year old kids Ramba and people since then they were all speaking is kids so I didn't realize at the time that it was a big deal I can say at my age nevertheless the whole time and of course this was mentioned before a tremendous cost as Booker and later we made sure to try to learn that before that because we wanted to be able to remember and know a little bit which was going to speak and what the devil was going to say something came actually with that I remember Michigan and the devil will save the house he was open to save it and take a look but this was all part of the tremendous tremendous and Pious that we had as young boxer but then growing up with the limbo dilemma a beautiful crowd here I don't know if everyone learns ramban but certainly this is a time for shizuk we have a seum every single year what do you have to ever seen every time you finish because the ceom is meant to give us tremendous music the CM is meant to encourage us to continue sometimes it's difficult let's see them they're getting together that you should say hey encourages us to continue those study of Rama I just want to share with you a small episode that I myself and saw that just stayed with me I mentioned this a number of times I somehow picked up as a bucket that and suitcase after the rebel would give the law of an asterisk to the mayor Harris so he used to slip away a few minutes later I was following him where's he going he gave the little Vanessa to someone else so I followed him where'd he go he used to go and he knocked on the door and he would slip into the Suki and he would go and he had a socket he was Mercedes and whatever they have a drink of tea in the morning after the rubber bands and the devil would stay in the sukher then when it became a nine o'clock eight o'clock and you have to go closer to that the devil would come back into 770. that was his hazaki nobody was there when they built the Suka on the other side it was like an empty so I realized I have a massive a situation that I could peek in with anyone that ever to see me because I used to go into the door of 770 and I would open the door a little bit and I had a clear straight view into that episode so I was there once and I remember it was raining and the mayor knocked on the door and he opened the soup here and he walked in and I saw I remember this the devil was standing with his hat jacket standing in the rain drizzling holding a rambam like this it's a tremendous seal that stays with me till today the devil was standing and chuckling like this like this learning learning the Shia Ramba that stayed with me but whatever that was a tremendous thing that ever learned but we all know this that I went to the oil holding the rambam came back from the oil holding the rambam and therefore that ever gave into the sit in this tremendous course to be able to learn that just a side encouragement and it's not really necessary but there are a number of stories of people that have supported him I know personally one or two people that have some issues and when they started to learn the rambam properly one of my favorite and told me I'm learning rambam now for a week starting at four five six in the morning whenever it was you had a decrease learning lamba many and a few of his taught us and issues I wouldn't call them sawdust but issues that he had cleared up we had it from Atlanta spoke he said just the story an interesting medical story with rambam he said he was in 770 when it was a few years ago man comes over to him I had a problem but I'm seeing you now and I think I have the solution okay once the Yeshiva where I was learning many years ago you shouldn't so I took it very seriously went for many years I got married and I wanted to business and God of Hashem I was starch back but recently even Afghanistan thousand and I see you and I reminded myself I'm stuck I stopped learning Gamba that's for sure the solution thank you very much I think you got me my solution to my Brown shot a few weeks later something he was in Florida and he bumps into this in Japan he doesn't you should know for three weeks now I'm learning rambam and my business is booming literally has the power why I don't know what has the power to change our lives it has the power to change our personal lives and it certainly has the power to change the lives of our families our children are watching us our wives are watching us our haverim are watching us everybody knows if we're learning rambam everybody knows if we're taking this plunge so to speak for some of us to jump in and learn about is amazing sometimes you feel I have no time and it's impossible how can I do it believe me when I tell you that when I was a kid of 10 years old it seemed like climbing mountains to learn three production literally like climbing mountains in the beginning it was exciting but then we have to be pushed my father had to push us and again tremendous psychology and we continue now we went and we went now it's like it's like part of your life foreign this has a tremendous tremendous effect on every single one of us and it's very important that we remember that in addition there's a side benefit I don't know if I'm allowed to say this but it's a fact because you become a common coffee believe it or not it's a tremendous side benefit when you learn he tasks you know tangent no hummus whatever was once with science from now here they were excited they weren't messing but they were retired to the person to the original source foreign and by the revenue decisions if you'll take a look at our decision on this week's passion about the block has made the sharpness it's a side benefits [Music] to be able to discuss Tatum with any youth on any topic without knowing it so grunted but the basics of almost every DIN and every hour eventually you become clawed you become you become comfortable if you learn others it takes many years until you finish when you continue learning it again and again whatever [Music] okay you got me that's the truth it might be a truffle the Truffle to the unionized cashless and the truth of the matter is that heaven points to the South represents famous that when you have the nest nothing else can be mixed in so if you're gonna have the agonism to talk about the destruction of the Muhammad of the evening foreign no matter what we do and I'll tell you something even more it's very easy for me to speak about this because in the position that I do forever I do for a living I get paid dollar believe it or not I need to learn the baby to be involved in trading that's not a good that's not where you see the choir of our city that's not where we see akoya we see our koyas that does other things for a living for whatever it may be kind of eating that's not specifically paid to study cater from them and when we learn the Lambda that's a sign that of haggaby can benefit that we're able to accomplish to be able to push it amnesty to amnesty becoming sometimes some of us the truth is might feel not only it's too hard and too difficulty we do a lot of difficulties in our lives we always end up at a process should I do this should I do that and we usually take a leap and jump into something that we don't feel that we're always ready for be it with our personal family be it with our karnosa with many many different things however when it comes to yawning from kedusha many times the eight Sahara comes and says he this not because it's hard I know who I am I know the truth his face moving out this is not for me it's Bluff the fact that I can go ahead and be I still learning every day by the citizen mentioned it's really not for me that's not something that I can do that's a typical title from the inside it also reminds us all of the things the story with the hospitality that he was a businessman he probably wore a tuxedo on a bow tie we used to come to the library one time he decided oh he's bluffing he's not going to blow up the head anymore so he came together but nevertheless this is sometimes a problem one of the decisions that everything has been about that talks about the prosecutor begins two days ago Sunday is but the point is when am I not going to be ashamed but habiti or Coleman suicide when I learned foreign [Music] foreign you're uncomfortable you feel as a Fascination you're self-conscious about yourself that who am I if you don't want to learn it's not for me foreign [Music] you will have that self-confidence that yes this is for me you will be comfortable in your own skin you're not going to be looking two sides one over here once again and as it's two transaction I'm doing things that I will say that beyond what I think I'm capable for or of because the typical kindness if you don't want to have any bushes on yourself to look at yourself with a low self-esteem is if you start to learn the number and learn called you will see you will automatically be a changed person you will automatically be someone that's comfortable in saying yeah and automatically of course you'll learn more it's a famous story they say and it's not going to say it about it is the same story that I'm okay I only have an hour of day to a day to learn what should I learned [Music] that will automatically change us and make us find the time to do other and most more important things in Theta as well more important than the things that we sometimes tend to waste our time on when we make a seam of that I'm about we always know my skiffing humans like we do on on simcha State so I want to share with you a famous boy but I think it's also an important and it also helps us understand that while making the same and connect it to the scene a famous person that have his father I believe he's talking Peter finishes Kim you take the last letter and the first letter of relations God only came and you have life and the truth is life is first why because we finish the Theta and we right away make a u-turn and we go to the base from the lamid we go straight to the base so although we're going we see automatically if you make that turn it's the leaf because Tata is about the life so here is about Allah is and the truth is we have our sister all we have to remember is starts with our own family foreign we don't even realize it sometimes we're not going to see it for doing this for years what the children will remember how their father used to take out a rambam and sit my Ramba and I try my best not always to learn that I'm at home I have time sometimes yes I do sometimes but I make a point my number is around my little kids from when they're three four years old they know what to tell me for the method looks like they know what it's called because it's my number please pass me the number give me the number and make sure that in my house they see that I'm learning Ramba not because I want them to look at me learning lamba I was slow I want them to know that this is a stupid Milan grandmother that it should be something expected something normal it's not this is the life that hurts and to have his father continues that you smack your work he says the lathe also if you flip it becomes base gracious and Lama is bound bow means not don't it's not to believe he says don't turn your minus loyal if you take the letters before before the aleph and before the lamict it's happened if you take the letters after the Olive and after the the lament is done foreign has to be a protection from Zion is a number of times in my years that we have to be careful bow we have to be on the right path do exactly what the English they want chicken then we have the proper life and then we're able to give ourselves over properly to whatever wants from us and what that they destroy wants from us today nowadays and this is something we can actually say about anything there's really no excuse I had to come to New York once for a symptom Yeshiva was an oil that learns about it family Facebook I have to admit the mistake that I made I get into the car sugar mate is gonna put our music get into the cars driving to New York and he puts on one of the shooting I think it was Rabbi rally Gordon I don't remember he puts on this the whole way there the whole way back when he learned through and I was astounded because I was Haitian and I realized there's no excuse you get into the car [Music] today it's extremely easy when you get into the car and you sit and you can listen to this I'm standing here today with all of us together to celebrate this to give us and to continue to learn namban to become pushed every single day connected to the river with the side benefit of becoming with the side benefit of changing us with the side benefit of giving us many times all these situations in all these cases that we should be able to ultimately see the mother what is this right away making a YouTube right you come out with your assassin right away so you say that you saw it is Hashem it's the same thing so you right away we're going to be completely full with what if you say that you say this not just later but we're actually gonna know keep shooting vanish so yesterday
