Duty Begins at Home | Letter #4 of Thirty Letters in Thirty Days 5786

Okay and we are live. Barashem welcome to [sighs] class number four of 30 letters in 30 days. We started matzah shabas [snorts] and it is now Tuesday night the night of purim and uh I'll share with you a story that the rabbi told actually was a yudaf nissen faban and uh the whole 30 letters in 30 days is a preparation for uh yaf nissen. So this was yniss to lammed z and the rebba spoke about how he reminds everyone at the end of the faban to make a to make an after and the rebba compared that to a famous historical fact about the rav misha Ra meaning um if you learn the shor underneath the mab you have the glosses of the rama one of the great codifiers of the Jewish people the rav of Krakow Poland about uh about 500 years ago he had a custom that amad did the spoke about this that the knight of purim would get dressed up in a costume, but not for the regular reasons that people get dressed in costumes on porn, but actually to go incognito mode and he would go door to door and remind people to Davin Maid bis mano when the Reba told the story particularly emphasized this idea that it wasn't just to to remember to dav because the deba says really let's say worst case scenario somebody passed out or you know I'll say that euphemistically uh took a nap, [laughter] but let's say they passed out from their porms. Worst case scenario uh really you can dab might have until dawn which as pointed out and I looked it up by the way uh in Krakco today was 55 I think thereabouts. So worst case w worst case scenario okay so you'll wake up sometime after midnight and you'll certainly wake up before dawn and you'll might have worst case scenario but that's why the would say to mismano at its time because as you know from the uh first Mishna of um before before midnight. So the Rama was making sure that people would uh deny and say Krishma bismano on time. So after all that if you haven't den yet, please do so. Okay. Um, Saddaka, I'm going to turn on the sound. Okay. Why is someone writing in the chat? Wow, he's almost never late. You mean because I was late today at 10:02? You're calling that late or do you not see me? I'm writing hello to this guy who just wrote in the I'm talking about the YouTube live chat. Someone wrote, "Wow, he's almost never late." Okay. I don't think I was so late today. I was 2 minutes late. It's pretty good for the night coming out of Purim. Okay, we're going to give it to Daka. I'm opening up my Kylo Kabad app. Where is it? Here. And we're going to give it to Daka. And you can't see it because it's too far away, but there's a little button on top says Matonus Levim. You can actually still give matanism. You're gonna say how could you give matanism pur is over. Yeah, but it's purm and inalimish they celebrate. So if you give now toim it'll be distributed on the day of purim inim. I'm going to give a little money here. There you go. That's the Kabad Pushka app. Download it at your uh app store. Okay. Um yeah. So I told you the story about the I told you about David Maid. I gave Tedda. What else do we need to do? I don't think there's anything else we need to do. Now the guy's writing in the chat, I had to refresh. Meaning you you had to push the refresh button. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing it, but the sound is completely broken up. Tell me, is the sound bad? Is anyone else having sound issues? Hello. Hello. Hello. Anyone else having sound issues? Those [music] are my sound pads. Okay. Is everyone sound okay? Because I'm wearing headphones and it sounds fine. Sound is good on my end, says Baker Coffee Maker. Okay. Sound is good. All right. Now, I'm just going to leave the headphones on because at least it covers up my crazy hair. Ah, I can get a haircut before Pesak. I have long hair now because of of AIS Leeno. All right, you guys want to learn a letter? Y says sound is great. I know Yvid. She lives in Bokeh. I met her once at a Shabaton. Hi, Yav. Okay. Oh, Paula Freriedman is saying hi. I saw Paula today in real life. She brought Chalmonus to my house with Avi. Hi. Okay. I like when people's uh YouTube usernames are recognizable when I can tell who they are in real life. Okay. If you think I know you in real life, say hello in the chat right now. Okay. Should we learn? Let's learn. Oh, and I got the printer working. Remember yesterday I couldn't get the printer to work. Now I got a real paper in my hand in Brooklyn. [sighs] The letter is to a man. I've told you that before. If it's then it's to a woman. And I've explained in the past that a man is because modesty is not supposed to inquire directly to the welfare of a woman. So you're not supposed to say shalom, but you can say and then once you say shalom with a man, you just lead off shalom. Shalom. You 724 says, "Do you know me?" I don't know. I don't know which I know Daniela. Yes. Hi. I don't know. You 724. If you do you want to dox yourself and say what your last name is? You don't have to. Is 724 an area code? Not sure. Okay. Bisdom. Do you see how the letter, by the way, starts? Oh, and if you don't have the letter in front of you, just click on the link in the description. There's a line that says PDF. Just click on that and open up the uh document. It's all laid out all nice. I mean, you could also look in an actual uh safer keshb page uh 100 or you can print it out and looks gorgeous like this. Okay. Um because so you see it's dot dot dot that means redacted. Something was removed probably because it was personal or of a sensitive nature. There's no name here. So we can't even identify who the letter writer was. But it's a man. That's all I know. On this occasion, I would like to is like to arouse or to I mean the English translation here that our uh editors wrote was to call your attention to something, but it's more than that. It's more like it's more like I I I kind of like this might be a little colloquial, but like a wakeup call to be to wake somebody up. It's not recognizable from any of your letters plural that you are dedicating from your time and your capacities to influence your own household. I know that is to say, what does it mean? Your household, your wife and children, may they live and be well in a pleasant way and in a manner of drawing them close. So I again I don't know who this person was. I don't know what kind of life he lived. I don't know what kind of issues he was asking the Reba about. But the Reb points out, I haven't noticed you mentioning anything about setting aside time. The Reb uses the word to be makish time and the Reb is going to actually elaborate on why he uses that specific word choice. But I haven't noticed that you've mentioned anything at all about you setting aside time to be of an influence on your wife and children. Becky Trac is saying hi. I think I know who that is. I think I know which Becky that is. Okay. I'm if if you're watching uh the replay or you're listening on Spotify tomorrow or whatever or a year from now, you're like, "Who is he talking to right now?" I'm I'm responding to the YouTube chat. This is a live class at 10 p.m. Eastern and people write in the YouTube chat and I and I respond to it. [clears throat] Okay? So, you hear what's happening here in the letter. The Reb is saying, "You've written to me numerous times, right?" Right. He says letters plural. I guess the guy has spoken about a few different subjects. He's talking about, you know, stuff that's going on in his life. And the deb is saying, "It's interesting to me. I haven't noticed that you mentioned anything, not once, no mention at all about setting aside time to influence your wife and children." Mushki Gerrari 6353 says, "You taught me in high school." Oh, no. [laughter] There there's a reason I'm not a you know there I shouldn't say there's a reason why I'm not a high school teacher. I should say there's a reason why I do focus on adult education. I'm not good with kids. Isn't that ironic? Because this letter tonight is about being dedicated to uh children. [snorts] Yeah, I mean I can deal with my own kids. My own kids bar. I can talk to my own kids, but other people's kids is very hard for me. I made a earlier as Josh Gordon Shalom always says. Okay, you say as he always says, I thought he passed away. >> [clears throat] >> And because he gave all those so he still talks he's still in the present. Okay. At any rate so the deb is pointing out I don't hear anything about about you influencing your family. Let's continue. Now that I was explaining and I'm very precise when I choose the word the verb yakish from the word uh from the root the etmological root kuf dal shin which means holy but it also means to set aside in Hebrew [sighs] something that is holy is set aside meaning it is set apart from the ordinary. It's not everyday mundane. It's special. So when we for instance under the hoopa when uh bride and groom establish an exclusive relationship that's called kushin because it sets apart this relationship from all others. [snorts] So the [clears throat] or or when somebody uh designates a sacrifice, let's say either makdish an animal to be a sacrifice in the times of the the holy temple. So now that animal is no longer available for personal use. Now it has to be donated to the temple. So the deba said, "I didn't notice you mentioning anything about being makish time for your family." And the Reba says, "And by the way, I used that word decidedly." That was a very specific word choice because the Reba could have used other words that are synonymous or effectively synonymous for setting aside time. But here the Reba used the word to be makish time. And the reason is the Reb explains because this is a matter of holiness. And as you're going to see from the context as the deba writes seems that the deba feels that this letter writer may not appreciate the importance of spending time with his family. He may feel that it's less important than other things that he does deem important because he thinks those things are holy and spending time with his family is sort of like you know mundane pedestrian banal. It's not exciting and glamorous. And I don't mean exciting and glamorous in a self-seeking way. I mean, this is probably a I would say probably a communal leader of some type, a rabbi perhaps, who's interested in pursuing holy things. And so he thinks that the other projects he's involved in, that's where the holiness is. And spending time with your wife and kids, whatever, you know, it's nice, [clears throat] but you know, it's not holy. So the deba is setting him straight and saying no no no I tell you to be makish time for your wife and kids because it's a matter of kadusha it's a matter of holiness it is holy cavenesh because it is pertinent to the continuity of a holy nation the amadesh the holy nation of the Jewish people needs needs fathers to be involved in the lives of their households and that is absolutely essential to the continuity of the of the holy nation. So it is holy. Whatever else you're doing may also be holy. But this is holy. Perhaps not only equally as holy as the other important stuff you're doing, but perhaps even more so, [cough] [clears throat] as we'll see. Okay, got to unpack that. There's a concept called a a verse does not depart from its literal meaning. And then of course is from the you should teach these words of Torah diligently to your children. the the the exegetical explanation of vishantum as Rashi the foremost commentary on brings on that verse. These are the students. You should teach diligently the words of Torah to your to your children. Actually means according to the explanation of to your students because students are also called children. A teacher is also considered a father. However, the Reb is saying here, yeah, and by the way, that's also true. But A verse doesn't depart from its literal meaning. The literal meaning is still intact, which is literal children, your biological children, your kids. So I I'm I'm I'm kind of guessing here and maybe taking liberties. I would assume that this person has talked the person the letter writer here has students whether they're children or they're adults but he has people who he is actively involved in influencing in matters of holiness and the Reb is saying that's all well and good that's fantastic and that's as explained by but also there's the literal meaning in of children, your children. And what about them? How much are you devoted to their spiritual growth? [cough] And Becky is asking in the chat, "Isn't Rashihat?" Yes, you're very good. You You're right to bring that up. Rashi is meaning to say it's not it's not and it's not but in this case is even more than meaning to say doesn't mean literal as you know Rashi often explains verses nonliterally means the simple meaning doesn't just mean the uh um simple meaning. It means the literal meaning. That's a little bit different than just simple meaning. Literal means sticking with the very precise inherent meaning of the words themselves. not placing it within a context of an oral tradition which extrapolates on what the meaning or the the encoded meaning may may be. [sighs] So at any rate we're not getting into this. I'm seeing some uh activity going in the chat. We're not the Reb is not giving a class here. Guys, chill. The is not giving a class here. You want to learn the PK? According to Rashi, that's the proper way to learn the PK. The Reba is giving somebody advice and saying to him, hey, you're really really accomplished in influencing a lot of people. I mean, I'm reading a lot into it, but I think I'm right here. You're you're really involved in spreading Yiddish kite and helping a lot of people with their with their spiritual growth, and it's beautiful. But you know what? Vishantum can also mean [laughter] your own children. Literally your own children. So like let's not forget about the literal meaning of the words lean to your children even though you have many many spiritual children and you're accomplishing all that but like what about your kids? Manakim MD says are you drinking tea? Well [sighs and gasps] that is a very good question. I'm drinking Gatorade, blue Gatorade, because I'm still recuperating from the from the fast. But I know why you're asking me if I'm drinking tea. And you must have read a line ahead in the text because tea, I want to see who else is on the top of their game. Write for me in the chat when once you realize why asked me if I'm drinking tea. What tea? I'll give you a hint. tea and the rabbi the rabbi drinking tea what would that have to do with what I'm about to read to you okay so let's continue here like it's explained also in meaning in it says that a man is responsible for teaching his own children And especially there is a well-known or publicized talk from the which begins. Just like one is obligated to put on every day, one is obligated to set aside time to influence his wife and children. Anyone get why uh you might make a T reference right now? No. Okay. [snorts] So, I'm going to bring in a little something else and maybe some someone will figure out why the T reference was made. There is uh you know there's a shar Sunday mornings 10:30 a.m. at the Soulward's house just a half a block away from the aisle. We learn we started this year with paras we're about to finish next week with Hashem's help in the of [snorts] the Reb speaks about go into the TVA the tava means the ark but it also means the words have said also is the meaning of words of Hashem tells you go into the ark or the word you and your wife and your children. Now I know there's other places in this where we sort of bash Nak for only taking care of his family and not having an effect on the rest of the generation, but that's not the point in this. you go look it up. Um, [snorts] and the Reb mentions there that when you go into the table, when you go and immerse yourself into the words of you shouldn't be so immersed that you only think of yourself. You have to remember like Noah himself was commanded, you go in with your wife and your children. when you immerse yourself in the words the holy words bring your wife and children into the holy words as well and there the rebba tells this or gives over this uh this concept that's from the just like it's an obligation to put on fill in every day so too it's an obligation to set aside time for your wife and children every day so where's the tea coming from anybody. Let me look. Let me glance at the chat. See if anyone figured it out. Y writes, "The Reba visited his mother every day and had tea with her." That's a great guess. The Eb did visit his mother every day. This is a specific reference though to one's own household, one's wife and children. So, Dr. Weiss, Ira Weiss from Chicago, who was the cardiologist who was flown out to take care of the Reb, the emergency situation that happened when the Reb had a heart attack and the Reb insisted that he be treated in 770. Dr. Weiss was willing to conform to those stipulations and they created a hospital room in the debas room on Yamiff. So Dr. The wife became very close with Bav with the Debb's family and he related that the Reba told him that in spite of all of his many many duties, let's set aside things that we can't even grasp, we can't wrap our minds around. You know, we know that Reba is a Ray Mahna, a shepherd of faith, and he's feeding every individual Jew with with faith. But who can even fathom such things? Let's just talk about the Debb's schedule and the demands on his time. Just what we call even just the things that we know about that we could quantify. You know, you can you can look at the Reba's schedule and see how busy the Reba was. So I'm not even getting into the spiritual stuff of how the Reba was spending his time connecting to every Yid and all these things that you know it's way beyond my pay grade. But just looking how the Reba was so busy the Reba hardly slept and uh yet the Reba told Dr. Weiss that he made a point of having a cup of tea together with the Rabbitson every day. And what's more, and I know some bristle at this, it makes it makes them nervous. The Reb didn't say it. That's what Dr. Weiss says. The Reba said, the Reb told Dr. Weiss that this cup of tea every day with the Rebbitson, it was as important to him as putting on fillin. I remember many people saying, "Oh, he got it wrong. That's not Dr. wife said that. That's he he misinterpreted it. That's That's not what the Debbie said. Well, I don't see why it's so strange. Oh, Ronda Ferber saying had tea with his wife. Rhonda, that's right. Hi, Rhonda. Um, yes, he had tea with his wife and it was as important to him as putting on. I don't know why that's such a stretch, why that should blow anyone's mind because the Reb already said it in a edited You didn't say the tea part. Okay. You didn't literally say tea, but that quoted the Ashab saying that spending time with your wife and children every day is compared to the level of obligation that everyone has to put on fill in every day. And in the Reb says, by the way, why why of all things? So the says because fillin is not just an action but it's subjugation of the heart and the mind. You have to put your emotions and your intellect into it. So too when you spend time with your wife and children it's not just to yates prefuncter get it done but you have to put your mind and heart into it. That's why it's specifically compared to fillin. By the way, there are other reasons that Eba spoke about through the years why spending time with your family is compared to I could cite to you a from Kisliff [snorts] of all years. Anyone recognize that year? Yeah. The letter that we're reading right now is from Tshinzion. So is like less than three weeks later. And at the I mean this is always a day of at the in a few weeks after this letter was written the rabbis spoke about this concept that the rabb said that spending time with your wife and children every day is like the obligation of putting on fillain. And why is it compared to fillin? [sighs] Because fillin specifically is listen to this. Our sages equate putting on fillin with the observance of the entire Torah. Fillin is one of those mitzvah that is so primary that it has at least from one perspective a value that is tantamount to all of the entirety of the rest of the hookah. So too says the that's why the compares spending time with your wife and children every day to because it also is and it's not and the says this specifically you'll look in the the of the not like many people think that it's a modern thing. They use that word modern as like a you know a put down dismissively. Ah, you know, these guys who want to spend time with their wives and kids. Yeah, they're a little bit enlightened. You know, they read some secular books probably made them think that spending time with their wives and kids is like important. Yeah. The devil says, "No, this is not a secular concept. This is a holy concept. This is basic Judaism." >> [cough] [clears throat] >> So here the Reb is telling this guy, the letter writer, that I want you to be makdish time. I want you to understand that the time you spend with your wife and kids is holy, just as holy as anything else you're involved in. And like the Rebab said, it's like putting on film. I want you to take it that seriously. The Reba said to Dr. twice that having his cup of tea with the Debbitson every day. He took his seriously as filling. [sighs] I remember one guy got so upset when that video came out. I said, "What was what's so wrong with it?" He said because someone's going to see that and he's going to be in prison and he's going to have one phone call he can make before Shia and is he going to ask to have Tylen brought to him or to have his wife come to jail and have a cup of tea with him and he's going to make the wrong choice. I can't make this up. Okay. At any rate, you know, if the if if this information here were considered to too hot to handle, then it would have been redacted like the rest of the letter. You already see that there's an ellip an ellipsus in this letter. There were parts of the letter that were not for public consumption. Apparently the deba thinks the public is ready to handle this concept that that said spending time with your wife and children every day is like putting on fill. And by the way in the version in the hayim there are different versions of this. The version of the hayim sounds like it would be enough to think about how to deal with the education of your children. Here um this version it sounds more like actually spending time with them. [snorts] Okay. Um, and [laughter] I don't know how to translate. I mean, means like the peak, the pinnacle. Kabad means like the most kabadiest of the kabads. The deba would often use this expression I don't want to say derisively because that is has cynical connotations and and the was never cynical shalom but I think that would use that expression sometimes to give people much needed context sometimes when people thought they were I I I think I think it's the the usage of the expression is meant to temper a certain amount of self-importance people who are getting like wrapped up in their own kite or what they perceive to be kite. Um so the Reb says that you can't discharge this responsibility meaning the obligation you have toward your own family by getting involved in other stuff matters of Kabad the Reb calls it. Um means at the expense of others which I believe means your wife and children who are losing out because you're involved init activities and in the end also at your own expense meaning you're losing out. So that's important to understand like ultimately you're also losing out because I mean I'm I'm filling in a lot here but you know Shama came to the world for a for a mission and you may be doing a lot of terrific things as part of that mission affecting a lot of people and doing a lot of holy stuff but if you're not affecting your own family you're missing out in like the most critical serious way meaning the purpose for which your nishama came to the Hashem should help you to serve as a role model in this area. I love how empowering the deba is. The deb is taking a guy who's clearly weak in this area and not just telling him to play catchup, but that he should become the the dakaya, the role model, like the seml, the paragon of this concept. And I'm sure he did if the Rebbe told him that was what's expected of him. So Hashem should help you to become a an example for your friends. Your your friends should learn from you what it means to spend time with their family. Lao and it's understood you shouldn't be stingy with the time that you're spending on this key canal because like I've mentioned already let me back up aldishman through doing this you are sanctifying time. It has that double meaning. Setting aside time, but also sanctifying, making holy the time. So any time you spend with your wife and children becomes holy time. You know there's an expression in mitzvah mitzvah. The reb adds to it a little bit. Kadosha mitzvah holiness and mitzvah causes more brings on more kadusha and mitzvah. So don't be stingy with setting aside time for your wife and children because the truth is it's actually a really smart investment strategy as far as time management because the more you do with that with your wife and children, the more holy your time will become. The more you're involved in holy things, the more it brings on more holy things and it will actually have a a compounding effect. It will it will initiate a virtuous circle where more and more of your time will be spent effectively on holy things. So it's actually a very practical strategy. I await good news in all of what was discussed. above. And that is tonight's letter. Um, I'm going to wrap up here. So, you can leave actually. Good night. I I have something I'm going to mention now. Um, that we we're finished. So, if you're if you're tuning in every night, 30 letters, 30 days, this is it. Thank you. Uh, and someone is writing in the chat. So, it doesn't need to be tea. It can be anything. Yeah, it could be Gatorade. [laughter] I don't even think you need to have a drink. Don't have to have drinks. Um, I want to mention to you last night I read from the Ammy letters volume one from the intro that I wrote about how all the methods that I used in that column in that advice column in Ammy that people appreciate all those methods were taken from egress. I learned it from the Reb's style of how the Reb answers people. So here you have another example of it. how that takes a guy who's clearly weak in an area because he undervalues that area and instead of just trying to play catchup and get the guy let's call it adequate in that area actually tells him to become the vanguard to become the leader the role model that other people emulate which is incredible uh not just optimism But the but the faith that the Reba has in people that even if they've been deficient in a certain area, not only can they catch up, but they can actually propel themselves way ahead and become um leaders in that in that area. It's it's an important thing to think about the deba's belief in people and their capacity for growth. And that's that's one of the that's one of the things I learned from from the egress. So many many things that I learned. Um I'm starting a course in a couple of weeks. It's not officially launched. Registration is not officially launched. But here's the soft launch right here because I'm I decided right before we went live that I'm going to do something fun. I'm I I made like a little coupon for anyone's watching live right now. I made a course called how to answer any question including your own. And it's not what to answer but how to answer. It's all uh the tricks of the trade of how to guide people and give them clarity. Anyways, it's a it's three nights deep dive immersive for people who are in a position to guide others, rabbis, teachers, coaches, whatever, parents, or just if you're the person in your friend group that people come to sort things out. So, if you go to soulwords.org/how, soulwords.org/how, there's the landing page. And right now for the next hour and 15 minutes, there's a coupon code that's worth 50% off. The coupon code is live. [snorts] Live. That's it. If you're watching live right now. Now, if you watch the replay and you get to try this coupon code, it won't work anymore. But just for fun, for the hardcore people who actually watch 30 30 letters in 30 days on the night of the porm meal and everybody else uh needs reminders from the Ra to David Maid. If you're still tuning in, then I want you to have that coupon. Put in coupon code live at soulwords.org/how. And uh in fact, if you want to be really generous, you could send it to your friends who are not watching live right now, but tell them that it only works until midnight. Someone's writing in the chat, "Serious question, please. What if one spouse is so lazy that anything and everything, even it's important and necessary, is a difficult chore? I hear your pain. Obviously, I mean, I'm going to make some assumptions here, but obviously that question is being written by a person who feels that his or her spouse is begrudgingly offering time to the family or sometimes not offering time at all. meaning to say I if you're writing the question I don't think you're the one who's holding out on the family. It's that you're married to someone who you think is holding out on the family. All I can tell you is this that free choice means we have the ability to make our own choices. It does not mean that we have the ability to make other people's choices. And so we have to accept that that [clears throat] even when we know the right thing for someone else to do, we can't make them do the right thing. Even when it's so frustrating. But what we can do is make the the right choice for ourselves. We can do the right thing. And we can also trust in the fact that to some extent when we do the right thing, it does influence others. Now you're going to say you're doing the right thing already and your spouse is not being influenced. I'm not so sure about that. Meaning to say, however the situation is now, it could be way worse. And if you're investing time in the family, this is surely raising the bar and having a positive effect better than if, god forbid, let's say, both parents were kind of checked out. So that's what I can tell you. That's the most that I can tell you based on that short comment in the chat. Okay. Anything else? Oh, interesting comment here in the chat. Wow, I'm jumping the gun. But does that mean that women naturally have an inherent quality that's hook similar to brisma? I know it's way off topic. My ad may add ADD may add ADD adjacent brain. Okay. Because you're saying that is is and women are part from so maybe they already have something that's well what I would say is again just making stuff up. I have no [snorts] idea if this is true or not. But the Reba said being invested in the family is similar to in as much as it is tantamount to the entirety of now we know that one of the explanations at least for why women in general why women are exempted from positive timebound commandments is because of their responsibilities bringing children into the world and raising So you see right there that taking care of a family is considered tantamount to tora. So you're asking what do women have that's like men have that's tantamount to all of the tora and the answer is it's right there. It's staring you in the face just like the compared fillin every day to spending time with your family every day. Okay. So there you see that that women even more so because they are the ones who actually bring the children into the world and sorry if anyone's offended and thinks this is a social construct or this is the patriarchy but the way that for time immemorial healthy happy families successful families have been women are also the primary caret caretakers of children. Yes, that's true. And there's a reason for that. And that is we may say that that is inspir which is French for Jewish inspiration is asking me what time is the course going to be.
