Sukkos presentation - Daf Hachaim

[Music] overview of is closely organized according to the the seven mitz that comprise the and writes T commands us to dwell in suas or booths for seven days so that all future Generations will know that lived in suas while they wandered in the after took them out of presents as to what exactly the commemorates understands this as as the literal in the suggest that the Yen lived in Su small portable Huts or boots as they wandered in the mid for 40 years says this MIT refers to the Clouds Of Glory and I cover it envelop and protect the Yen from the rain and sun the most miraculous way throughout the years in the mid whereas according to the mitah sitting in the commemorates the miraculous event of the an explains that according to the reason commanded us to sit in the Suka especially this time of the year when the cold rainy season begins is because it corresponds to the time when all the produce That Grew during the summer months was gathered into the homes and warehouses now since one might begin to feel overly secure and confident with his wealth and comfortable in his warm home hashm commanded us to leave our homes and dwell in a simple Suka thereby reminding us how when the B Isel wandered in the vast uninhabited desert for 40 years Hashem protected them and took care of their every need so too today we need to remember that all the security and goodness that we have comes only from him begins with holds a Which is higher than whereas holds is kosher who offer reasons why the holds that among them are who explains that the reasoning is based on the while sitting in the Suka a person must not only know the reason why he is sitting in the Su but he must also be able to easily see the on the roof of the if the is higher than 20 hours the will be out outside of his field of vision gives an additional reason must be made as a temporary Dwelling Place not as a permanent structure and if it were built more than 20 y High it would need to be built as a permanent structure and the M continues the lowest the walls of a may be less is however with regards to its size in other words W its width and length there's a three between the and both the and agree with the above reason that the must be built as a temporary structure but according to the hill is 6 by just large enough for a person to sit in the Su and according to the the minimum is by large enough for most of a person and his table to fit in the however mayor argues with all the above and holdes that must be built as a permanent structure therefore he says that a su that is less than 4 by4 is possible here's one of the few places in that we pass like the that the minimum size of a is by whether it is actually a to build is among the between whether needs to be made or not thees that needs to be made for the purpose of the we use the words in our to teach that the walls of the are all seven days of goes on to teach that must have at least three walls however we learn that here too there's hold that while a needs to have three walls only two of the three walls must be complete walls of at least seven while the third wall needs to be only one that really needs to be made of four walls with three complete walls of at least seven while the fourth wall can be only one explains that this is based on whether we say whether we say means that we give precedence to the way a word is spelled or written means that we give precedence to the way a word is vowelized and read as follows if we notice in this the word is written twice without a and can be read suas in other words in the singular and once with a which is read in the plural both the and agree that the amount of walls of a must have is learned out from how many times is alluded to in these therefore the two WR WR without a v are considered as singular and so is written with a V is in the plural 1+ 1 plus 2 which gives us a total of four suas referred to in these one is used to teach the basic M of and the other three teach that three walls are needed for however each time the word is read as in the plural it is considered as two times explains that one word Su teaches the basic mits of su and the other two which are four teach that four walls are needed for a either way there's that diminishes the last wo that only needs to be one and exactly we're in how to place this one wall is discussed at L on on its Corner as we see here however it should be placed at the open corner at an angle this way at least covers parts of the two open walls holds we should make the wall a bit more than wide and place it with of the corner which is allows for a gap or open space of less than three to be considered as if it it was closed therefore this third wall is now considered a four wall which is of the required minimum of seven rash right at the beginning of our explains that it is specifically that constitutes a the must be placed on the with the intent to provide shade if was placed on the for any other purpose for instance a bundle of straw that was placed there to dry out under the hot sun this straw cannot just be left there and be consider it would first need to be removed and then placed back on teaches the general rule regarding what material may be used for this only materials That Grew From the ground such as straw branches or twigs and is no longer attached from the ground may be used for the source for this is explains that the p is referring to what is left over after you process your grain meaning it's straw or what is left over from your grapes meaning it's Vine or Twix in other words only items that are grow from the ground and are no longer attached to the ground and are not susceptible to only such items may be used for however fruits vegetables or wood that was fashioned into a CLE are possible because they are however the teaches that that any of these materials may be used to build the the walls of the even those that are some other general rules regarding this which is mentioned in the first the purpose of this is to provide ample shade inside the Su therefore the was scattered Loosely over the top of the SU and the shade of provides is less than the sun shining through the is possible if within the there is a strip of open space three wide then this effectively splits the Suka into two separate suas so now if this was a su with four walls then as long as each side has 7 by seven then what we have here are two separate kosher suus with three walls each however if the Suka only has three ralles to begin with then what we have left is two separate suas with only two walls each which is however if the open ear Gap is less than three the is considered as one with three koser walls on account of love if within there is a strip covered with invalid for instance a board less than this would not affect the Su one may not sit underneath it but the Su itself is still Kos however if the board is more than for then it would effectively split the Su into two separate suas and on and once again if the Su had only three walls to begin with then both sides only have two walls now in this pule however in this case of invalid the suu would still be kosher if the four wide board was within four of one of the walls and that is because of another a bent wall the rule ofum allows us to view a wall as bending at the top and extending all the way past the invalid till the valid however is limited to a horizontal distance of and also one may not sit under that area since it is considered as part of the wall must be as it is being placed on the walls not that it should still need to be made kosher later while on the walls two examples of are if a Vine which was still attached to the ground was placed on the roof of the it is possible because when it was placed on the Su it was not valid since it was still attached to the ground and even if it was later detached it will still be possible because it is what would need to be done is for the vine to be taken off the so cut off from the ground and then replaced on the Su another case of a large open space of s by seven was dug out from a large pile of straw it may not be used as a sucker even though the roof is made of K material and this is also because the roof was since the straw now used as a roof was there before before the 7 by7 space was dug out to be used as a Suka and it became a roof only by default meaning it was not originally placed there to provide shade it is there and you should take for yourself on the first day of suus pre the fruit of a beautiful tree branches of dat palm tree and the shoots of the plated tree and the shots of a willow tree it grows near a brook Rejoice before for seven days explains that the word pre they were to take EST as one of the writes that even though it seems that the gor is challenging the accepted tradition that the mitah is to be done with an nevertheless he explains that the tradition that we are to use in es was never in doubt since it was a continuous tradition all the way back from the days of is asking is how is this in the words of and the goes on to explain that the reason they wanted to find a source or at least a Remis from the is because if we cannot somehow connect the EST to the p through a Remis or by other means then we would be forced to consider the M of the to be yet there was no such M as he writes were compelled to find its RA in the words of the famously explain the words to mean that since the word seems Superfluous as it could have just said by adding the word eight the t is telling us that is referring to a tree that has the same taste as its fruit which is the EST another explanation among others cited in the gar is reab who says that the word is to be read as as rash explains pre just like a de has older and younger sheep living together in the pen at the same time so to the as tree has fully grown Asim and Asim which are just beginning to emerge growing on the same tree at the same time the estri understanding the structure of an estri the tip of an average asri will have a pitum or D protruding from its top which is capped off with a actually when the es begins to grow it is this pit that appears first and only later as it becomes bigger does the body of the begin to grow under it the area below the p is referred to as the the nose while there are numerous as to where exactly the begins and ends the accepted is that it refers to the upper part of the EST from where the wide part of the es begins to narrow and slope up to and including the P when considering the hi or beauty of an EST this is the area that needs to be the cleanest at the bottom of the EST is the it stem which is the part of the branch that connected the EST to the tree ideally the should still be attached to the EST and also it is considered a hi for it to be indented into the bottom of the as opposed to it protruding the word we learn that it needs to be a complete in other words it must be a complete and if it is missing even a tiny amount it is a and it is possible the word we learned that it must be yours in order to be not stolen or even just borrowed from the words we learned that only was this in effect all seven days however outside the took the only on the first day of however teach us after should be taken all seven days everywhere as we do today as a commemoration of how the mitah was observed in the we learn that the EST as well as the other should be as beautiful as possible contrary to other mitz where the concept of is learned out from the of which interpret as that MIT in general should be made beautiful however with other mitz the concept of is external to the mitzah and is not possible the mitah if it lacks however with the is an integral part of the mitzah and therefore in many instances a lack of H could render any of to be teaches refers to a dried out EST where all its internal juices have dried out is possible because it lacks hi also is deformity similar to a by which looks like a cluster of small blisters and protrude above the skin of the EST if covers most of the estri the estri is possible because it is no longer a h if the covers only a very small area but two or three are scattered in different parts of the estri it is also possible because explains it looks like a spotted EST and therefore lacks if the pitum was removed or fell off the estri is possible because it is now a however this is only if the pitum falls off after the estri is fully grown and picked off the tree however if the pitum falls off naturally while still growing and attached to the tree then the EST is kosher one can tell the difference as follows if the tip fell off after the EST is no longer attached to the tree then the tip of the EST will be relatively flat but if it fell off while still growing then it will leave behind an indent in the Middle with a bit of a border protruding around it as we see here nikl if the skin of the IG was peeled nist if the es was split or punctured nikov if there's a hole in the estr where some of the EST is missing it is of course possible because it's a however if it has a fine thin hole as when pricked by a needle where the EST did not become a and nothing is missing from the it depends where the hole is and how deep it goes if the hole is in the it is considered lacking H and is pule on the first day of suus but not on the other days if the hole is lowered down in the as alongside the then as long as the hole does not reach the the EST is kosher but if it does reach the then it is below the a neck of the only if the hole is mish it goes through the entire width of the a black by a very dark green if an grew on a tree that was a meaning a branch from another tree was grafted onto the es tree then any es That Grew From that tree is considered a Mor and and the reason is because a is considered a since part of that was nourished from the non- branch an EST is part of the citrus family of fruits however a kosher EST especially one that is not a m stands out by numerous unique features first the skin or outer surface of an EST is characterized by it its bumpy surface as opposed to the surface of aov or other Citrus which are relatively smooth second when cut open there two very distinct differences that are immediately noticeable the outer white flesh of an estg is very thick and takes up most of the inner part of the kosher leaving just a relatively small amount of space for theer it's pulp and seeds as opposed to the other Citrus which have a thin flesh with most of their insides taken up with its pulp also the seeds in the pulp area of the kosha EST lie in a horizontal position where seeds and all other Citrus lie in a vertical position however some place can hold that in these days many of these are not absolute and cannot be relied on therefore only a with reliable traditions and should be used each of the can have deficiencies that would render them puzzle for one reason or another and are listed and expanded throughout the third peric of continues branches of the palm tree and the branch of the braid tree and the branch of a willow tree that grows near a brook refers to the lul which is in essence branch of the Dade palm tree when the lul begins to grow it protrudes straight out from the top of the tree like a straight Rod the lulive is comprised of a Centra spine called shadra with leaves growing out on both sides of its spine in its early stages of growth these leaves are tightly pressed against its spine as it continues to grow these leaves begin to spread out once it is completely grown with its leaves spread out it hardens to the point where the leaves can no longer be bent back towards its spine the time to harvest the lulus right before the leaves begin to spread out if the leaves do begin to spread out the Mish teaches holds that in order for it to be kosher must be bound together so that they lie against its shed the spine once the leaves spread out and Harden to the point that they can no longer be tied up against the spine the lul is possible here to we learn from the word as well as the must be complete each Leaf of the lul is really a double Leaf which is connected on one side and is referred to as twins says is referring to the center test is growing out of the top of the shadra if that leaf is split open at its tip or cut off at its tip the little is possible because it is considered either a or lacking must be at least four tall three for the plus one more for the leaves above the so that the leaves are flexible and shake when the mitz is perform even though all are part of this one MIT nevertheless the we say over the is because the is the tallest and most noticeable of and this is also why contrary to the begins its discussion of with the as the third per begins with lul and branches of the braided tree the word means braided where the leaves of this tree create a braided pattern around its Branch therefore the must be M meaning that most of its leaves grow in rows of Threes completely surrounding and covering the branch ask bikina however if its leaves grow in a halfhazard patterns such as and a two plus one 2 plus one pattern is considered and this the branch of a willow tree that grows near a brook and later the BR asks how can we tell the difference between these two types ofas answers now R's branch is reddish and its leaves are elongated and smooth whereas with the it branch is whitish and its leaves are round and rough the for each is along with are to be tied together in one group there whether if it was not tied together it is kosher or not quotes the following does not have to be TI that tying the along with is an integral part of theah if they're not tied together one was not M and therefore he also holds that only material from these three may be used to tie them together that is because of another material is used it would be like adding a fif men to the Mitzvah goes on to explain that actually agree that one should tie the but not because it an intergal part of the Mitzvah but because of the general concept of which is learned that any that one does should be made beautiful that tying can be done that any string may be used to tie the which was part of the MIT there was a separate to make one around each day with longes they would collect long branches from an area called and lean them around these Aras were 11 amus long so that when they were placed on the site against the sides of Miss the top two of curved over the top ofs that this is based the is written in the plural indicating that it should be used twice once with the and once in the holds that it is a and as to the source for placing the around the say we to surround during with branches that reach over the top of the the continues and on the seventh day of circus they made Seven before standing alongside the after this ended however the referring to that all of should take on the seventh day of it discusses whether this is a in other words a full-fledged which would mean that a is to be made over it or maybe it is only a and no is to be made then goes on to say that argues with all of the above and says that they bring fully open and hardened palm branches and beat them on the floor alongside the and that day was called unique feature of Theon that was exclusive to the Y ofus was the amount of par that were offered daily as on the first day 13 par were offered and from then on they were less and less were offered on the second day only 12 on the third day only 11 and this descending pattern went on until the last day of when only seven were offered for a total of 70 70 representing to the 70 Nations however on only one power was offered and this one represented the the one single nation the goes on to give a compare this to aing said to his servants make for me a large banquet the last day said to his beloved I want you to make just a small little party for me and you so that we could have pleasure together every day throughout the year during the would go up to the top of the m and pour wine into a a bowl located on the's corner of the MB from that bowl it would flow out through a spout into a nearby hole and run all the way down through the MB into the she deep cavity below the mountain suus another kind would accompany the first kind and pour water into another nearby saf which would then also flow out into the hole this was the of as they would take a golden picture that held three lugan of water and fill it with water from a nearby natural spring called as they were about to return to the the they blew from they walked up to the top of the m to where the two were located the one meant for wine had a wide spout and the one man for water had a narrow spout so that when the two poured the wine and water into the bowls at the same time the wine and water would flow out through those spouts onto the m and finish flowing at the same time the wider spout was to allow the thicker wine to flow out at the same speed as the thinner water however since theim did not acknowledge this Mitzvah and even made fun of it Mish goes on to say those who were standing in thear told the Coen who was about to pour the water lift up your hand so that we can all see if you're pouring the water into the bowl properly because once a who turned out to Bei poured the water onto his feet as a protest to this each night of before they went out to collect the water for the next day they would Rejoice by singing and dancing along with musical instruments in the E all night long till the morning when they went out to the to collect the water the goes into great detail describing the these nightly celebrations were based on the explains that it was called course those present were able to absorb high levels of from this says tell us enough that that whoever did not witness the great joy of never really experienced a great their entire life that we should all be to see and experience the great with the coming of thank you for listening
