Stirring Mystical Highlights of Megillas Rus from the Chida

This Torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com. Hey, I'm going to have a shout out to Rabbi Seagal as we prepare for parshas Naso. But today is Isru Chag. Yesterday we read Megillas Rus. So I want to share with you some incredible insights into Megillas Rus. Mamash dvarim niflaim ad me'od. So let's uh begin with the following. Uh first I want to tell you that uh Rus tells Naomi, um no, I'm not going to depart from you. I'm not going to leave you. I will going to stick with you forever. Ba'asher telechi elech, uva'asher talini alin amech ami v'elakaiich elakai. Um uva'asher tamusi amus v'sham ekaveir. Ki hamaves yafriid beini uveineich. Only death will separate us. So the whole world translates that. No, until death do us part. Meaning we're going to remain connected forever and only death will separate. Now it's very nice and very poetic. But the Torah doesn't write uh poetry. You know, obviously death will separate them. Death separates everybody. What is the limit over here? What is this term that she's using, only death could separate us? So comes the Malbim. The Malbim completely turns the pasuk on its head and with an incredible interpretation. Says the Heilige Malbim, Reb Meir Leibush ben Yechiel Michel. Says the Malbim, Rus was telling Naomi the real reason why she wanted to convert. Rus was saying that really the reason I want to convert is not for this world. Cuz in this world I could be connected to you. You'll serve your God. I'll serve my God. But we'll be close. We'll love each other. I'll be devoted to you. I'll be loyal to to Our differences of religion will not separate us. But I'm worried. Do you know why I want to cling to you? Because right now Hamoves Yafred Benei Benech, death will separate us. Because L'Acharei Maves Umshana, if you continue to serve your Bal Sham and I serve my God, then I'm going to go down into the abyss. I'm going to go into the Gehennam, and you're going to go to be Mitzdavek Tachat Kisei Hakavod, and your Neshama will be Tzurura Betzura Chaim. And I want to remain connected to you not only when I'm alive, I want to remain connected to you when we're dead, also. What she was saying is, Ki Hamoves Yafred Benei Benech, right now if I don't convert, death will separate us, and I don't want death to separate us. I want to be connected to you L'Olam U'L'Olam Mayom L'Olamim. And the only way to do that is to join the Jewish people so that we together will be Tzurura Betzura Chaim Tachat Kisei Hakavod. Beautiful P'shat. Now we go to um in Perek Bais, Pasuk Tet Zayin. The Pasuk says, Vegam Vegam Shaul Tashilu Min Hatsvasim, Va'azavtem U'Lekita, U'Leis Sigar U'Va. Vegam Shaul Tashilu Min Hatsvasim. Bayez tells his um his workers, forget for her from the bundles. Va'azavtem, and leave them there. There's an extra word here. Va'azavtem. Leave it there. He already said, forget it there. Why does he have to add Va'azavtem? Says the Malbim, very beautiful. The Malbim says, incredible. What does the Malbim say? Malbim says like this. Bayez is basically telling his workers to do Shichcha. The only thing is, shich'ha you have to forget. You It's not shich'ha if you leave it. So, what's the nafka mina? It very pashat. The halacha is that shich'ha is patur from ma'aser. Why is an uneducated eat shich'ha? But um he has to be mafresh ma'aser. The answer is since it's hafker, he doesn't have to be mafresh ma'aser. But that's if it's legit shich'ha. But if it's a scam shich'ha, if really they know about it and she's forgetting it on purpose, so then the workers are being machshel Rus. Rus thinks it's um Rus Rus thinks it's shich'ha. In reality, it's not shich'ha. So, then she's going to be eating it. It's tevel. It's chayev ma'aser and she doesn't know. So, therefore Biur Halacha says, "Shayol tasha'lah, forget it on purpose, but don't forget to do one thing, v'azavtem. Be mafker it. If you're mafker it, it's taka patur ma'aser and you're not being machshel Rus." Okay. That's Those are just the appetizers, but what I want to share with you mamish dvarim ne'urim admayid. So, you have this guy by the name of Toiv Ploni Almoni and he's given the possibility to do yibbum to Rus, to redeem Rus, and he says, "No." He says, "Va'yomer ha'go'el, lo yuchal li pen ashchit es nachalasi." I can't redeem her. Lest This is perek dalet pasuk vav. I can't redeem her. Lest I destroy my inheritance. Meaning, he was afraid he can't marry her because she's from Moav and it says "Lo yavo Moavi b'kahal Hashem." Says Rashi, "What does it mean I I don't want to destroy my nachalah? Zari. K'mayi nachalas Hashem banim l'aseis pegam b'zari." To put a disqualification in my descendants. Shenemar, "Lo yavo Amoni Umiyavi. V'TA SAYS RASHI. He made a mistake. What was his mistake? B'Ammoni v'lo Ammonis. This Rashi is not Amish swear like you wouldn't believe. What do you mean he made a mistake? Rashi should have said v'ta b'Moyavi v'lo Moyavis. This is what Rashi is saying. V'ta b'Ammoni v'lo Ammonis. Rashi is saying the wrong thing. She's not There's no Shachis to Ammon. She's not from Ammon. She's from Moab. What what what Rashi is misquote? Rashi is What it's like a tosser for over here. What's pshat in Rashi? I mean you don't believe me, right? I said Layavi, Ammoni, Umiyavi. V'ta b'Ammoni v'lo Ammonis. Should have said v'ta b'Moyavi v'lo Moyavis. Right. No, but she's not an Ammonis. She's a Moyavis. Rashi should say ta b'Moyavi v'lo Moyavis. So you say I don't know. Rashi is calling the first part of it, you know. Lav Davka. Rashi, maybe he stayed up all night. Who knows? He wasn't so didactic. Chas v'shalom. Every word of Rashi is Ruach Hakodesh. How could you say that uh why how did Rashi say something like this? So I have a safer. The Chida's commentary to Megillas Rus. Now, I don't know if it's in print cuz I have all Kol Kesvei Chida. And the Simchas Haregel, which is a Chida's commentary to Rus, is not in the Kol Kesvei Chida. This is from my grandfather brought it over from Europe. Mamesh d'varim nora'im. So the Chida brings a maximum oilam d'havalei l'meimar Umiyavi v'ta b'Moav v'lo Moyavis. That's what we're talking about. So says the Hilchos Giddin, she made a mistake. Well, listen listen to the Chida, he says, "I heard this from Reb Ephraim Fischel." Why can't you marry someone from Ammon? What's wrong with Ammonites? Nice people. They're nice people, very courteous. Ah, they have a bad middah. Al divrei like "Kiddush Hashem b'Mayim u'Mazon", when we were walking through their land, they didn't give us anything to drink. One reason you can't marry them. How about Moab? Why can't you marry Moab? Al divrei like "Osam reason", plus the Al divrei "Schar u'Lecha Balaam ben Beor l'Kalel Yisrael", they hired Balaam to curse. So, there's one reason you can't marry Ammon, there are two reasons you can't marry Moab. Which one then is more uh misstaber that should they should be assur to us? Moab, right? Moab, there are two reasons. Ammon is only So, listen to how the Torah writes it. "Lo yavoi Ammoni", not only can you not marry someone from Ammon, you can't even marry someone from Moab. You can't even. It's the opposite. The Torah should write, "Lo yavoi Moavi v'Ammoni b'Kahal Hashem." Cuz normally you say "Lo zu avzu." And here the Torah wrote it in a very illogical way. Why would the Torah write "Lo yavoi Ammoni"? Not only you can't marry someone who there's one reason, and you can't marry someone there are two reasons? Of course "Kahal Why marry you can't marry someone with two reasons? So, Ta'iv plenty Ammoni was made a following mistake. He said, "If the Torah wrote it, you can't marry some Ammon. You can't marry some Moab. You know why the Torah wrote it this way? Cuz Ammon, that there's only one reason not to marry, you can't marry their males. But "Avada Ammoni v'Lo Ammonis". But that's only for Ammon. But Moab, that there are two reasons. Not only could you not marry the males, you can't MARRY THE FEMALES. OTHERWISE, the Torah should have wrote it why you have why the Torah first write the nation that you can't marry for one reason and then the write the nation you can't marry for two reason? Must be the nation you can't marry for one reason it's only the males. The nations you can't marry for two reason the males and the females. He was taught that Amon and Moab only applied to Amon and he didn't realize that it applied to Moab also. That's why Rashi says taught that Amon and Moab only applied. So you say but then but then he didn't make a mistake cuz that's a very logical assumption. Cuz the fact that the Torah the fact that the Torah wrote it this way, isn't it to indicate that the Amon where there's only one reason not to marry, only the males are assur. And Moab that are two reasons the females are assur. What was the mistake? Mistake was there's another way to read the possuk. Listen carefully. That the possuk was written this way not for the issur but for the heter. Not only Amon where there's one reason to assur are the males assur and the females mutar, but Moab lo yizu. Not only Amon, BUT MOAB WHERE THERE TWO REASONS to assur are the females also mutar. That's why the Torah wrote it that way. He was taught. He was taught in the Amon and Moab only applied. He figured the only reason the Torah wrote Amon first was to say the heter l'nekevis is only for Amon and not for Moab. But he didn't realize the Torah wrote this way to teach even Moab that there two reasons the heter l'nekevis is even for them. How did by us know that? So it could have been a halacha l'Moshe miSinai or he had a mesorah to darshan that way. The Gemara says in in Yevamos that Yissachar HaIshmaeli got up and he says "Kach mekubal ani me Beit Din shel Shmuel HaRamati." Moab and Amon and Moab only applied. Moab also only applied. Okay. Can I ask you a question? Okay, so so okay, good question. Um The different I'm I I have two the best grab and my shot. It's a very good question. I'm not discussing it now, okay? Another answer to this question. This is my run. My mission uh There's one guy who cannot stand enough. He really hates he hates his guts. Who? Doeg Edomite. Right? The Gamara says in Yevamos on the iron base that when they were considering making David the king so Doeg said, "Uh you know, before you worry about making this guy king uh right? I try to mash all of them hug and all of them laugh and all of them love and all of them hug and all of them laugh. Why comes from Russia my avi ya? So others say, "No, I want to I want to my office." So Doeg said, "As I so maybe also yeah yeah it's a good Russia. Maybe moms are moms are us." Maybe mitsrayim mitsris. So so to moms are they said, "No, mamzer stands for mumzar. That whether you're a male or female you're gone." And mitsris um They had no answer. They didn't know what to say. They didn't have an answer. Then there's a Tices. Tices iron Zion says Taka according to the Manda Omar that Darshans Amoini V'lo Amoinis Mayavi V'lo Mayavis. Let's see. Where is this? Why don't we Darshan Mitzri V'lo Mitzris? Back. What's the answer? Why when it comes to Amoini Mayav do we allow the females when it comes to Mitzri we don't allow the females? Okay, listen carefully to Tosis's answer. Ready? The answer is to Darshan Mitzri V'lo Mitzris. Mitzri means Egypt, male and female. So why don't you say the same thing for Amoini Mayav? Cuz the Torah by Amoini Mayav could have been Mekaser and could have said Lo Yavoi Amoin U'mayav B'khal Hashem. Why did the Torah write an extra Yud? The extra Yud, the fact the Torah wrote an extra Yud is to Darshan Amoini V'lo Amoinis, Mayavi V'lo Mayavis. It could It could have said Lo Yavoi Mayav and Amoin and then I would have known male and female. Why does it say Amoini Mayavi? So Tosis says well, what about Mitzri? No, because what do you want the Torah to say? Lo Yavoi Mitzrayim. There Mitzrayim is longer. So say there Mitzrayim is longer, the Yud is actually a Kitzur. So don't have a Kasha. Oh, Mitzri V'lo Mitzris. Because what do you want the Torah to say? Mitzrayim. Mitzrayim is longer. But by Mayav it could have said Lo Yavoi Amoini U'mayav. Why was the Torah Marekh? Why the Torah wrote an extra Yud? It's to Darshan. Correct Tosis. Okay. So comes the Marsha. And the Marsha says, so why didn't they tell this to Dayeg? Dayeg had a Kasha. Oh, Azoy Amoini V'lo Amoinis, Mayavi V'lo Mayavis. Why um why don't we Darshan Mitzri? So they Why didn't they tell it twice as that there's a difference? Mizri, Mizraim is longer and Moav is shorter. That's Marshall's kasha. Tosis continues. Tosis says, I understand why we don't darshan Mizri the line Mizris because Mizraim is longer. Listen carefully. But why don't we darshan Edoymi v'lo Because there Edoymi is shorter than Edoymi. Says Tosis, You're right. Really, we should darshan Edoymi v'lo ya Edoymis. But agav orcha that it wrote Mizri, it wrote Edoymi. It's only agav orcha. That's what Tosis You're right. It could have wrote Edoym v'lo ya Edoym. It could have been mekaser like Amon u'Moav. I saw the most incredible thing I ever saw. Says the Chida, You ever wonder what's what's Doeg's beef with Dovid Hamelech? Why doesn't Doeg like Dovid Hamelech? Cuz Doeg is Doeg. I'm Doeg! HE'S FROM EDOM. AND GUESS WHAT WE ALWAYS TOLD DOEG HIS WHOLE LIFE? LO YAVO EDOYMI b'kahal Hashem. So, Doeg said, "Really? Lo yavo Edoymi b'kahal Hashem? So, why why why not lo yavo Moavi b'kahal Hashem?" So, you'll say, "Well, um I have a question for you. Why don't we darshan Mizri?" Doeg says. So, you say, "Doeg, um Mizri is longer." "Oh, right. With Mizri what do you want it to say? Should have said Mizraim? So, fine that." Says um says Doeg, "And therefore, you're going to darshan Moav Amoni v'lo ya Moavis because Amoni is longer and it could have been mekaser? So, then I have the same heter for myself. Lo yavo Edoymi b'kahal Hashem because it said lo yavo Edoym." Ah, I know what you're going to tell me. You're going to tell me I don't have a heter because I You're right, it could have said it, but it's only Agag or Hamani. SO, DAVID, MY LOVE IS AGAG OR HAMANI. Says the Chida, when Doeg asked the kasha, so we should darshan this for Mitzrayim. You know why the Chachamim didn't answer? Well, Mitzrayim Mitzrayim is longer. Cuz they knew Doeg would say back, but Edom is is longer. And Edom is shorter. In other words, Edom is shorter. So, the reason they didn't answer him back to this is answer is cuz they knew Doeg would say, "But that doesn't work for Edom." And that's what Doeg was getting at. He was saying, "You're two-faced. You're a hypocrite. Because whatever heter you're giving to Amon, cuz Amoni is longer, why is it so is it by Edom?" I know what you're going to say, "I'm Agag or Hamani." David, you're Agag or Hamani. So, what's the ta'anis? Taka de kasha. It's such a good kasha. That's p'shat in Rashi. The was mistaken in Amoni v'lo Amonus. Meaning, that really the heter is only for Amon, AND MOAB IS ONLY AGAG OR HAMANI. THE SAME WAY EDOM IS AGAG or Hamani. Ta'anis says we It must be we had a mesorah. It must be we had a halacha mi Sinai that uh that what? That we have halacha mi Sinai to learn it this way, not to learn it the other way. Cuz otherwise, how do you differentiate? But I never understood, what was Doeg? Why why dafka Doeg had a problem with David? The answer is Doeg's Doeg said, "You're a hypocrite." The The biggest hypocrisy is when a heter is good for the rabbi, it's not good for the the other people. What kind of What kind of hypocrisy is that? That's why Doeg had problems with David HaMelech and nobody else. Cuz Doeg said, "You're always telling me that I have Doeg as I go over the misery and you're not saying that Moab is I go over the Ammonite." That's what Rashi says. That the Goyal playing Amonite was mistaken but Ammonite is what he means it's Moavite. No, he was mistaken that it's I go over the Ammonite. Namish incredible. Let me tell you In fact, the Chida says Chida says he was a Ger Amaleki. Who is the Ger Amaleki? Wasn't David appointed by Shmuel and Elchanan? Who's going to argue with Shmuel and Elchanan? He said you could be a king. But it's very nice but you have to follow Halacha and Halacha is he's not worthy of a king. Okay. And it's a Namish a incredible incredible idea. Never understood why Doeg has such problems with David and Elchanan. Okay, my dear Raboisai. The Pasuk says, "Yeshaleim Hashem Poalech." Hashem will pay you for your work. "U'tehi Maskurteich Shleima." And let your payment be wholesome. "Me'im Hashem" from God "Elokei Yisrael." "Asher Bos Lachosois Tachas K'nafa." So there's a very nice Drasha. "U'tehi Maskurteich Shleima." And your In other words, Boaz is saying that you should be rewarded and your reward should be Shleima. But it could also be read Shleimai. In other words, he was Maramez to her that God should pay you the wonderful child. This is Perek Aleph. Um Pasuk Tes, I believe. "U'tehi Maskurteich Shleima." That um At least in in mine in the Chida it's Aleph Tes. That you should be rewarded with So, the Hida asks why is Bayas being Maramis to her If anything, the big reward would be Hashem should pay you back with David. Why is he being Maramis her to him as quoted He should be Maramis her with the him as quoted David. After all, David is the fourth regal of the Kise Hakavod. The word Yehuda is Yud Kay Vav Kay plus the Dalid for David. So, the Pasuk shot is like this. Says the Hida beautiful shot. In the Navi it says that Hamalach made a special throne for Imma Shel Malchus. Who for who? For Ruth. That means Ruth was Zoycha not only to see Ovad and Yishai and David. She was even Zoycha to see fourth generation. So, the Bracha Bayas is I'm giving you a Bracha you're you're you should be Zoycha to see until And the Bracha was Makuyam. But then the Hida a little bit later on says another shot. And uh the shot is like this. Let's see if we could find it. By the way, remember we uh we pointed out since Moab the Targum wrote it more of a Kitzur could have wrote Lo Yavo Moab. Instead, he wrote the the Ribono Shel Olam wrote Moavi. So, how many extra letters did Hashem write? Yud. One letter. That's shot the Hida quotes Torah Ohr says Aseiyni Os Letova Yiru Sonai Ve'yeivoshu. Make for me a letter for good, my enemies should see it and be embarrassed. What letter was he talking about? He's talking about the letter Yud. Without that letter Yud it was Lo Yavo Moab Bekahal Hashem. Okay. May your raboisai says the um the Hida later on in his parish that who is Ruth? She was a Gilgal. She was the Gilgal of the oldest daughter of Light. And in fact, she did quite similar to what the oldest daughter of Light did. Light's daughter Meldenite came without him knowing layada beshachvo vekuma and she lived with him. That's exactly what Ruth did. Ruth came by she bashatzey halayla she begaly smargaloysa veshachavt she did what the oldest daughter of of um Light did. In fact, the possuk says vatavoey balot which is a remez that So, the Alshich says that she was the Gilgal of the oldest daughter of Light and she was coming back for take two, round two, to repeat what she did. The oldest daughter of Light set the seeds of Malchus Beis Dovid in place and she's coming to seal the deal. In fact, Naomi realizes that the only way Boaz would ever live with this woman from Dovid is if he understands that they had a tradition that a preyda toyva would come forth from Moav from which Malchus Beis Dovid would come. Now, how would this Godol Hador have in his mind, oh this girl lying here in the night on the threshing floor is the preyda toyva that's going to bring Malchus Beis Dovid? The only way is if he understands that she's not just uh a zona from Moav, that she is in fact the reincarnate of the oldest daughter of Light coming back to finish the deal. Ah. So, listen carefully. When the possuk says says the Hida, loyada beshachvo uvkuma that Light, right? Remember that possuk? Loyada beshachvo uvkuma says the Hida listen carefully that the word yada is a rashei teivos. What's a rashei teivos? Yada is rashei teivos Yishai Dovid. Oved. Yishai, Dovid, Oved. In fact, the gematria of Yishalim Hashem is gematria Oved, Yishai, and Dovid. He says that Oved, Yishai, and Dovid is the gematria Yishalim Hashem. Plus the word yada. Yada is rashei teivus Yishai, Oved, Dovid. So, Rus already knew she was having those three, Yishai, Oved, and Dovid. So, Bayis is coming to say a chiddush. So, the chiddush is Yishalim Hashem Bolech Seim Maskores Shleima. Not only Dovid, Yishai, and Dovid, but even Shlomai, because the other three she knew about already. But in fact he adds as follows that he adds that the oldest daughter of Loit in the zchus that she preceded and she advanced in front of her older in front of her sister and she lived with the father first, so she was zoicha to four generations of malchus. It's the Gemara in Bava Kama that because the oldest daughter of she Lfi she kadma bchira l'tzira so she was zoicha to four generations before the tzira, Oved, Yishai, Dovid, and Shlomai. Right? Yeah, but but it was a mitzvah that they did, so she was rewarded for going first in terms of the fact that that she was rewarded with four generations of malchus. So, the point the point here is that she he gave her the bracha that your bro that your zechus should be extend not only one generation, Oyev, not only two, Yishai, not only three, Dovid, but should extend all the way to Okay, mar raboisai. The what? That Rus Rus brought was a Rus was zocheh to Oyev, Yishai, Dovid, and up to four generations. And those zechus that the the oldest daughter of Lot preceded in the mitzvah before the youngest daughter, so four gen the the next king, Rechavam, came from the youngest daughter of Lot, from Ammon. From Na'amah Ammonis. So um Rus was zocheh the oldest daughter of Lot was zocheh to Malchus four generations before the youngest daughter of Lot. Mar raboisai, so let's end with the following. Naomi said amazing thing. So Rus marries Boaz. I'll tell you so you asked before Here I I ask you kasha. I ask you kasha. Here this goel says, "No, I can't marry her. Pen ashkes is not halachic. It's going to It's going to ruin my kids." So better kasha. What do you mean ruin your kids? He should say I can't do it cuz I'm not allowed to marry her. What are you worried about your children for? You should say I'm not allowed to marry I'm not allowed to marry her. Lo yavi Mitzri bekahal Hashem. If in fact the goel made all these cheshbonos that Moav is only Agav Ammon, or the goel or by Moav takah the women are also assur. So why does the goel say pen ashkes is not halachic? The goel should say better I can't marry her because I'm afraid I'm not allowed to. It's an aveira. And especially here you have the the Here you have the um Goddard are passing that you could do it. So what's he arguing with him? So Marsha says a very interesting thing. Marsha says what myth though was was it to marry Ross? Ebaum. Are you allowed to do Ebaum to have a love in? Yeah. Why? Cuz I say with the lights I say. Now the children will the children be possible of other children are possible. But you're allowed to live with her. Now I'm going to drop on we don't allow it. Why? Cuz we're guys are be a re-shiner up to be a shiner. Who is guys there? Who is guys there? I don't think I said that square. That's That's 500 years later. This is you know they just came out of the shrine now. The bias is 400 years but they we're talking about for the first base of well before the first base over the wasn't born yet. So bias it was living in a time that they weren't guys are be a re-shiner up to be a shiner. So bias is allowed to do Ebaum. I be a shiner he's not going to touch her after be a re-shiner. And he talked he didn't. It was he died. Now I just want to imagine. Can you imagine if you die you die me and die you screaming there's no heather if it's a dime evil I die miss then it's my other than my other miss. I'm telling you you're not to do this and if you do this and I shall I mean they're going to punish you. So what is what is bias do? He marries her he lives with her and he drops dead. Could you imagine what I ate was going around saying the next day? Oh really? Right? Mr. Chavez correct we don't have to say what's going on over here. You can imagine what I ate said. Yeah. Whatever sweep is they had before he lived with her and died there was no something after, right? It's an thing. So talk of Now, that's why the guy says Right. That's That's why the guy said, I could marry her because of the children. Okay. Let's move on to the end of Megillah. And the Megillah says, so she conceives. So listen to this. It says The the screen is given a name. My brother said My brother said, this is the strangest part of the whole book. This is the strangest part of the whole book. The neighbors gave her a name. Now, you know, some people they live very close to their neighbors, which is not a good idea. You go into their house, they go into your house. There's no There's no privacy. That's not the way a Jewish home is supposed to be. It's like in the bungalow colony. But you know, I think everyone would agree that the the borders have been you know stepped over when the neighbors come and take your newborn baby and give it a name. That's strange. Can you imagine at a bris, you know, the father standing there, the bris. All of a sudden, the neighbor comes, "Hey, get out of the way!" He takes the kid. THE KID FIVE-O BARREL. You're moving after after that, I guarantee you're moving to another neighborhood. What in the world is going on? You know, here you have the poor poor Ruth. She stuck it out with the mother-in-law. She's poor Nebuch. She marries a God of Adar. Everyone's saying don't do it because, you know, it's going to give you trouble. She marries him. By the way, I'll just tell you. Listen to Ruth's mazel. In the beginning This is the world that listen to this. Another kid up. Kid up says You look in the beginning of the Megillah. It says there are two women. There's Ruth and Orpah. Let's get the husband So I used to have no shame of Orpah and Ruth. And we got them two of them. So you would assume that Orpah the first name mentioned is not married to Mahlon and Ruth the second name mentioned is married to Chilion. At the end of the Megillah it says Ruth is Mahlon. No, no, no. What happened was Ruth first married Chilion and Orpah married Mahlon. But after after Mahlon died what happened? Then Ruth married Chilion. Excuse me. Ruth married Chilion to start. But then Chilion died. So Ruth married Mahlon. They were half sisters. So listen care- listen carefully. Listen carefully. So it comes out Ruth was first married to Chilion and she killed him. He dropped dead. Then Ruth marries Mahlon and he dropped dead. Then she goes and Boaz is getting a little nervous. Maybe should I marry this lady or not? You know, she might not have such good luck this lady. She might be she's a cat lady. And talk of the place to ask how she had to marry Boaz. She's already a cat lady. There's a sheet of two. Not like it's a no Not it's a no. So they're hatayim because she's a gigoyis and Gershon's got a gona shnoyim. But I I don't know about this one. On the shidduch resume I I doubt she wrote on her resume, "By the way, I lived with two men and they dropped dead pretty soon after I married them." And then she marries Boaz and he drops dead the next second. Before Beer Sheva already he's dead. So already three guys she knocked off. So the poor lady all she has in this world is one kid. Could you let her name the kid? No. The the shainas grabbed the kid away and they gave a name. No. So what's going on over here? Says the Chida. Who is Ruth? She's the gilgul of the older daughter of Lot. Now the older daughter of Lot did a very nice thing. She She did the mitzvah first. And that's how she's rewarded with four generations of malchus. But the that very Chida says that even though she was rewarded she did something slightly improper. The youngest daughter named the kid Ammon. More tzniut stuff. In other words, from my people. But she said Moab, from dad. It's a very very uh brazen name. Like she didn't cover over the fact that her father fathered the kid. So now coming back in the gilgul the way she's mesakin is He said I'm not even naming the kid. I'm staying away. I'm I'm going to be so modest. This is by the way the Chida says from the safer hakana from the safer kabala. He says that Ruth was the gilgul of the older daughter of Lot. And when she was older daughter of Lot she named him Moab be chutzpah. The ata be gilgul zeh she wanted to be mesakin. Therefore it's keilum it's not her kid. That's why people said, "You lod ben lonomi." She didn't say a word. We're not even talking about the father here. We're not saying anything about the father. We're not saying it was from Bayas. You led Ben Lenami. Moreover, rabbis, these are some momish nuggets from the Chida on Megillas Rus. Shkoyach. You've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com.
