Siyum on Shisha Sidrei Mishna & Connecting the Beginning of Berachos to the End of Uktzin

coming. I want to begin uh thank you very much for the very generous words. when uh we met Ronnie and we asked if he could possibly host our annual barbecue, he was so gracious and generous that it almost became natural that if we were going to have a second event, even though we didn't actually ask, but he graciously uh opened up his home yet again. So the first time you know the first time shows and the second time is even so all the that we were the first time should be even >> and I also want to bear who came in a second time as well from Brooklyn to be at all of us to be mazikas for this very important cause there's a special of making a him during the nine days. Even though we're not allowed to partake of meat and wine during the nine days, the baltov would go out of their way to make him in the nine days for a cababalistic reason that during these days of the year, these days are controlled by the sam. His name is Alfmed which stands for. So therefore we go out of our way to be the and we try to make a sem during these days. So this summ actually took me a long time. Some people learn slowly. I began learning Mishnayas when I visited the Kev of Rebi. I went to Reb's Kev 26 years ago and it was a lifealtering experience. I don't know when I go to a kev it's it's like uh something grabs me and right after going to rabbi's kev I say no I have to start learning Mishnayas so some days I learned one Mishna some days I learned not even one Mishna some days I learned two Mishnayas some days I learned 22 Mishnayas like today uh so this is a sem that took me uh quite a while it's completing the Mishnayas let's just say more than one time to try to do it thoroughly and we're concluding which is the end of Sedaris. What hit me was you know we have a we have a sedar connecting the beginning of a para to the end of the par. So I figured there has to be connection between the beginning of Mishna and the end of Mishna. So sure enough all the mafurishna try find connections between the beginning of the Mishnay and the end of the Mishnay even in the says so articulates the principle all the articulate this principle of now what's interesting is what exactly is the last Mishna in in shisha According to the version we have, Hashem is destined to bequath every 310 worlds. Yeah. But when Rafi made a bris, where's Rafi? >> When Rafi made a bris, let's see, like how 10 years ago, nine years ago, he named his son Shai. So I remember I had my back pocket what I could speak about also and that that said um okay I have to bequeath to those who love meal and I will fill their storehouses. Some of the mafaram say that is called yesh. Yesesh means there is meaning it's reality. This world is not reality. This world is just hashem's will which means hashem wills this world to be but it's not actually it's only because hashem w it is reality. It's called yeses is called yesesh. The only thing is how could this be the last mishna? I'm levy. Rabi levy is not an atana. He's an So this was obviously an addition. So obviously the last Mishna was before this. But let's continue for a moment. The mission continues. Did not find any vessel that contains blessing for Israel only peace. By the way, right off the bat, we have a connection between the end of Mishna and the beginning because it ends and the first of course is so [Music] in his comments in the end of books and says it comes out the the begins And what's the is that's the so therefore concludes which is and the are mentioned all the way in the beginning of the now the first letter of Mishna is the measai the last letter of the Mishna is the final mem one of the inyanim is you know the says mitim is an open me that's the first letter of shas mitim ends with the final me that's the last letter of shas in between you have the says you could start the first letter of shas we just don't want you getting to the last letter of shas that's mitim but the toes says the fact that shas begins with a me and ends That is a illustration of the principle of also the he says that if this is the last Mishna that's why it begins with a me and it ends with a because says that there's another uncanny similarity between the way shas begins and the way shas ends begins what does shama mean The grass says mean to galvanize the Jewish people to unite the Jewish people to create shalom. One of the main one should have when saying shama is unify unite as one. So that's how the sh begins and it also ends the sh ends at every is going to have 310. Where is that alluded to in the beginning of shas says the shama stands for 310 that's why starts with shama shama is a reme that if you're engaged in tora you're going to be to the shama shoser here's one additional idea because if rub margia says says this cannot be the last Mishna Shas because so you got to go back to the Mishna before. What does the Mishna before talk about honey? The Mishna before talks about honey. A honeycomb. What do we know about honey? The shimi says that if somebody's feeling weak, they should eat honey. Honey is the is honey illuminates the eyes. So you could say that if a person closes their eyes to focus on the shah if you close your eyes your to focus on the shama then your to the end of to the honeycomb which is mayor but says Ruven Margolius Hashem gave him a great matana it's brought in the name of shame clinging that who's the first hana mentioned in chass So sh begins. Harish rebel rebel is the first town. Why? So clinging said the tells us that rebelar said nobody ever beat him to the baseman. He was always the first one in the shul. So since he was always the first one in the shul as a reward for being the first one in the shul he's awarded for to be the first person mentioned in shas says of magolius if you say that the last mishna of levy is not really a mishna because it's from an amo and you shuffle back to the before the last tana mentioned in shas is also rabial why because rebelar also said nobody ever stayed after him in the base mish so it says rabu Hashem given matana rebel is both the first mentioned in the shas and the last mentioned in the sh. So based on our model of it comes out very beautiful. Another instance of where we start with Rabzar who teaches us DNA and we end with the teaching of Rezar who teaches us the honey which is mayor Say their Say she said for Amen. Amen. Amen. foreign. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! foreign. Amen. foreign. [Music] [Laughter] >> Sure. Yeah, we're we're the rabb the the rabbi is about to say mish my safari side said >> I would go for him from >> so we have whatever you give the name >> thank you >> you need to know the answer where you put that $100 >> what's the reason. >> There's no reason. >> States are $1,000 a piece. >> 101Body $1,0001. Anybody else? [Applause] >> $500. How much we have left? How much money? 500. >> 500. Rabbi, >> we're almost ready to be shaking. Almost done. >> Anybody else? >> Really? How much you have left? What's happening?
