this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com brokema boyam welcome everyone uh this was going to be our last agar de parker share before the welcome everybody with a very special program today first a few important announcements the most important if you don't yet have the safer magarakian pesach it's available at your local farm store you could order it with free shipping at our site rabbidigi.com we're working on this safer is on pesach but we're now working on a haggadah specifically in english for art scroll a number of marma already complete in english if anybody wants to be mashtati from that please let us know we could try to send you before pesach some very nice pieces on the haggadah also we have great breaking news by hashem our shul has located a property that we're now in contract for and will serve as not only our base madrish but also a uh international torah center studio for all the shurim if anybody wants to be mistatteef okay so now we are going to speak about a subject i'll tell you the truth i was planning on speaking about a different subject but something in the news is really weighing on my heart and that is over the last couple of days the kevar of yosef hasadek was desecrated now two times first the arabs came in and they smashed the kev air they smashed the lighting above it they set it aflame causes every heart to stir to be pained how could they do this to yo the whole world rests on your safe the foundation of the world yosef is the foundation of the world and how could this happen and now again yesterday a second time after the israeli government pled um pledged that they're going to guard the the holy sites right after they do it again and obviously everything in this world is bahashamayam and who are we to analyze the affairs of heaven why hakkos broker has allowed this to happen but what we'd like to examine regarding a certain phenomenon in history and maybe we can use it and apply it toward why this is happening to us now in the days before pesach so i want to share with you let me see are you able to see the these mountain comments on the screen um this actually comes from our safer and what it's pretty small okay let's okay let me do that i did send out them of course how do is good okay so um in order to explain this we're going to uh analyze another phenomenon that has occurred throughout jewish history and that is even though the antifa pesach a time of a time of redemption however throughout the long and bitter gullus there has been a specific tragedy that has struck the jewish people specifically at this time of the year and that is the awesome and frightening accusation of the blood libel and what they claim is they their pretext is that it's the jewish custom to kill a gentile child and to take his blood to use in the baking of the massachusetts this libel was the share the portion of the jewish people annually annually in the time period before pesach many kegels many kehillais were murdered al-kitab hashem in the footsteps of this pretext there's a period called michael michael which was written by rabbi yitzchak ben shalom from the ballet to remember the tragedies of the blood libels and it was established to save this pia the week after pesach in the haggadah of and in the safer gazeros farad they bring at length and describe all the various blood libels that occur throughout history and i just want to point out that not only did they occur in the christian world but the arabs were very good tell me them as well and this past winter i was in at the kevin of rabino colonimus on the valley of harazesim and he saved the jewish people from a blood libel in the arab community so this has been a universal pretext just viktor miller brings that from the blood libel we learn a very important lesson is there any greater fabrication and lie than the blood libel is there any anything that is so rem far from the truth we know claudius they're careful if they open an egg and there's a little blood spot they throw out the whole egg kaiser would not go near an iota of them say how could anybody think that they put them in the matsois and even so many believed this for hundreds of years at hayoim so says with not only did they believe it it became a tenet of their religion if they believe this if this is part of the religion then that sheds light on everything they believe in everything is kulei anyway the blood life of what went so far as in the well the well-known notorious false messiah jacob frank shamer shamirkov he claimed that the tsakh adash not for the makkois but rather for the jewish custom of using gentile blood for the masses we all need blood adash that's what the students of jacob frank claimed and in the safer uh he brings that the rabbis responded that no that sacha dash in fact is an ammonic diverse of the word of our enemy is false the blood libel is allah heaven forbid where did you do this and there are practices they'll say there that have been affected by the blood libel for instance in the safer heihal dives he brings that there is a gersa god throw your love on the gentiles now we don't know exactly why there was such a nusakh but it's pretty reasonable to assume they did this because of the fascists that the found in the original they found the basis for their false claims in fact the macabre and simon tafayinbes writes it's a mitzvah to use red wine on pesach and ramos says unless the white wine is better however says the taz the reason why red wine is better is because red is considered an attractive color for wine however says the taz nowadays we don't do use red wine because of the blood libel we avoid red wine because this you spill it on the table on the table cloth the akum comes in they said ah you see you shakted a gentile it's all over your table anyway another uh another theory which is pra which is most likely is that we start off to say there called everyone who's hungry come and eat but there's akasha what do you mean everyone who's hungry come and eat the door is locked yeah what a very genuine invitation the door is locked it's bolted with four locks there's a guard door guard dog on your front porch and at the gate that's locked with two people with pistols standing there yeah anyone who's hungry come and eat the answer is the old custom original customers the doors were open the night others say that that was the original custom but they had to stop that custom because of the danger the jewish people were in and we have to ask ourselves that even though certainly this bloodline has no basis in reality and this is a concoction and invention of the de kaka azales barakallahu runs the world and why would god allow such a lie to be perpetuated and to continue and to cause us so much tsar there must be a very great message for the jewish people and furthermore we know there's a rule sheker in raglam something that is completely a false that has no basis in reality would dissipate on its own so how can this lie continue and be perpetuated for so many millennia this is the kasha of hagon vasserman and rebecca says dvarim the reason is there's no question it's a punishment for claudius we took you safe and we dipped his cloak in blood and we said taro of taraf yo is safe blood libel we tricked our father we told our father yosef was killed we fooled him we tricked him so god says meet the connected media quid pro quo you will be punished you've pulled the stunt on your father with your brother you claimed that he was torn apart by a wild animal well this will be the menace helek of the jewish people throughout history and don't this is this has happened in every country including the united states of america and including in the last 20 years and this is the opinion of rebecca vassermann and he says if i am off on this if i went too far if i veer you know veered into territory that god doesn't want me to he should forgive me but rebecca and says the reason for the blood libel it's a punishment for mahira saif and if you remember earlier this year we had the zucchus to find this idea in a gado that lived about a hundred years before rabbi khan and wasserman falaji in the safe era of he says that they tricked their father and they said therefore they they they're pretext therefore we are punished me the canadian media now rakhine filaji adds one to kuda he says that god had it happen but we'll come to this okay we're going to come back to the added point of now that means rebecca is adding is innovating he's being that the sin of machiras yosef is such that we have to deal with it for all time meaning not only were the brothers of yosef punished further for selling yosef and according to some they were punished in the asarah malchus but this is a a sin that we have to deal with in every single generation in every generation similar to what we find by the where god is saying then then it comes out there are two sins that we deal with in all generations the sin of the sin of the egal and we find rabbi support for this view of rebel quran that there are two sins that the jewish people have to deal with throughout time the egal and safe in the comments of the mesh who comments in vayikra on the words of the um kippur davening is god you are the soy for israel and the mahalan to the tribes of yahshua and the meshach mother of says that there are two sins that we have to deal with for all time one is the egal like it says of a young pakti ufa karate and quotes the medicine that in every generation the sin of yosef is still extent therefore in every generation and then every yom kippur we we mention that god atones and he forgives us and from and god in response said so so here we have two great we have the our samaya ramayana simcha vinsk we have rebecca vasiman and as we mentioned falaji they learned that the cinema here yosef is a sin that we have to reckon with in all generations however let us continue and follow in the ways of rabbi and contemplate the wonders of divine providence and that is yes we understand why the blood libel has happened to us but why specifically in the time of pesach now i don't know that i can ask such a question i don't know that we can ask such a question but this question is further raised by rav matasio solomon why did god orchestrate that it should happen pesach time so i found in the writings of abhain falaji that the reason why it happened pesach time is god wanted to protect us because we know shaymir mitzvah la da da we know mitzvahs protect so if it would have happened at some other time perhaps it would have been much greater danger for the jewish people hashem orchestrated it should happen specifically and through a mitzvah that the mitzvah should offer a degree of protection but this is the cash of ramatasya and i would humbly say again this is not a question that i can ask this is not a question that i can ask but let's follow in the ways of rabbi here almost we have this week in the week before pesach the cover of yosef azadek being desecrated destroyed burnt not only once but even after the israeli government pledged to protect it again yesterday why is this happening now again who are we to ask such a question we're just following so to speak the the coattails of rama solomon and ramata offers the following approach let's start off with the following question this question is really raised by rav shalom kluger and his haggadah and that is you know we do many things the night of the say there to remember the freedom we eat matzo to remember the freedom we didn't have time to let our bread rise we do many things to remember the bitterness we eat mara why don't we do anything to remember how we got to mitzrayim in the first place you know we remember the remember the golos we remember the shebhad but do we remember how the goals began and how did the golas begin we know golosmithsram began with the sale of joseph in the matter we will see that there are many muslims if they'll say there i got a message from rabbi emanuel bernstein that his father of isaac bernstein was very fond of this rabbenu manoyak and in fact that's where i heard her from rabbi isaac bernstein would say you know your kids are going to stay over at the cedar or you're you're going to hear what's car pass car passes 600 000 jews did the labor of backbreaking labor but says actually the definitive revenue is a resharing of parish the definitive reason for karpas is zaiker to the kasoynes passim the yaakov aminu made for yosef karpas is reminiscent of possum in fact rashi on on the word sonis passim he says like in the megillah karpas is fine wool the banishchai takes us even further he says the first dipping the kappas in vinegar reminds us of when they dipped his tunic and blood karpas is a compound word kaar as in mercer pass as in possum so here we have it that we do do something the night of the seder to remember how we got to mitsrayam in the first place and in fact we've said over in the past from the chuvas marshall in semen tells us after you eat the matzah you take out the afi komen you swing it over your back you walk dala ramos and you say no through this is what our forefathers did with their packages slung over their shoulders and the question is why in the world are we slinging our raffy clayman over our shoulders so we have a very nice crowd tonight on zoom live here in the studios we have uh mayor gladstein it's a good question mayor gladstein right why sling over the matzah over our shoulders and raphael mcclugger says look in the game it says everyone would take and put their pesach over their shoulder how um not to be confused with fiost broadband no tayos what does tayos mean says rashi soyharim yeshma elem arab merchants you hear this we have a mitzvah the night of the seder to sling something over our shoulders like arabs why is there a obligation the night of the say there to act like arabs i'm not sure even though there may be your cousins why we would want to do anything like yeshua elim the night of the seder and raphael mcclugger says he says we do many things the night of the say they're to commemorate we do many things in either say to commemorate shiburd why don't we do anything the night of the say there to commemorate how we got down in the first place namely how did we get down safe and in fact says of some of the kluger we do something than i said remember because who was going to save soul to yeshua elem so in order to remember the mahira asiyosef we take the afikomin we sling it over our shoulders tayos like arab merchants so in fact there are a number of things we do be it car pass be it dipping the car pass be it slinging the off coin over our shoulder there are many things we do the night of this day there to commemorate how we got down to mitzrayim in the first place says solomon sol gazun sign based on this idea we can understand why the tragedy of the blood libel occurred specifically at pesach time because when pesach comes and our hearts are aflame yearning for the gaula and we pray we're hypocrites really you you want to be in jerusalem so then why don't you think how we got into the mess in the first place which is sinashinam we sold you safe which is ask yourselves we've been asking for two thousand years lashon abba birushalaim why is the almighty not granting our request you know we dive in every day for parnassa and we have breakfast in the morning and we have lunch and we could support our family but why when we ask him to go back to shalom does he say sorry you can't go what's our problem what are we doing wrong and the answer is the the same thing we did to get ourselves into the mess we still haven't corrected ourselves so as pesach comes and we're praying to get out of ghalos and we're recalling galos mitzrayim and why we and how we should think to ourselves you know we still haven't gotten out of this mess and how do we get into this mess in the first place we sold our brother so every year as pesach approaches says so solomon the sin of mahiras yosef is re-awakened and re-aroused and if the sin of machiras yosef is aroused then as rebecca taught us the blood libel is a direct punishment from is there any wonder why the blood libels happen because that's when the vera mccarthyism is reawakened can we then humbly say and again i'm not saying this uh it's a rav matassio i believe would say rebecca is saying this you think it's a coincidence that the grave the cover of yosef at sadiq is desecrated the week before pesach it's as if we're being it's as if that avera is happening again it's as if the tsar we cause the oyster is being reawakened because if we're still sitting at a say cedar and thinking about the vayamaru as kayam and thinking about the arami oy vedavi and thinking about vanitsa and thinking about the d then we have to think how do we get there we tried to kill our brother which brother he always save so yours is reminding us you still didn't fix the problem again i'm not i can't say such a thing i can't even intimate such a thing i just you're learning rebecca and you're learning about mata that's what they're saying one of the very well-known blood libels in history occurred in the 20th century the mendel bayless case mandel bayless was a renowned prominent jew in kiev in the ukraine and in the year 1911 they accused him of killing a gentile to use his blood for the matzah and in 1913 he was tried and jews there was an outcry from jews around the world to come to his advocacy and basically because the case was so public this was going to be like the final barometer you know as their basis to the blood libel and part of the prosecution cited the gemara and yavamas that says jews are called man and the prosecution claimed that from this gemara we see that the jewish people do not consider gentiles human and that's probably why they allow themselves to commit such a horrific act and this was one of the main fundamental arguments of the prosecution that look in the jewish talmud they claim they're the only ones who are adam the chief rabbi of moscow rabbi yaakov meza was asked to respond as a expert on jewish law and he turned in an emergency to a mayor shapiro leblina wrote a brilliant explanation and what it means he said question here you know let's say there was a blood libel against a russian or a pole would all russia be in uproar would all of poland come out from all over the world to protect this accused criminal of course not and yet here you have one lone jew in the ukraine mendo bayless and from all over the world the jews are protesting and coming to his aid and coming to his advocacy look at the unity that exists among the jewish people says you know there are many ways to say man in lashon qaddash you could say ish but the word ish has plural anoshem however the word adam is always lashan yacher adam is one person adam is a whole nation atem only the jewish people can be called nationally one entity and the proof is when one jew is in pain the whole nation comes to his aid the rest of the nations of the world certainly they're human but they're anashem they're disparate individuals they don't have the same national unity and we would humbly add that isn't it ironic that this lesson of jewish unity came about through the blood bible because that's the whole purpose of the blood bible the whole purpose of the blood bible is to restore and reawaken the cinema yosef to correct sinatra and through this particular blood libel look at the insight that came up by the way the uh gans free the balcony and the safer aperion he also writes this yasoid and now he explains why is it that only the jewish people can get saras and gentiles can't get saras and he explains as follows what brings saras lash and hara gayama marlatta speak lash now you know why what's the sin of lash and hara you're causing disparity or causing fragmentation fragmentation is only a fundamental issue for the jewish people who are fundamentally one or fundamentally one entity but the nations of the world that are disparate anyway is not as lethal not as tragic and not as dangerous and that's what it means now many people whenever they hear about sinashinam they may say yeah why can't we have sinasrinam the kharadim and the datilumi why can't they get along the modern orthodox and the kharedim or and everybody gets carried away why can't the different streams and the jewish people get along and that i believe is at sahara because yes all these different streams do need to get along but that's not the ahavas and the sinashinam that needs the most work on because if we're going to correct the place to start is being between two brothers between husband and wife between parents and children in how many family units are fragmented husband and wife family father and son brother and brother and everybody has their reason why they're right and the other person gaveled them but that's exactly safe that we got to start with we're talking about within our families you know the cliaka writes very powerful words cliaka writes that when brothers don't get along when families don't get it wrong it causes tsar to their parents and their grave that's how great shalom is shalom says the cliaka shalom is so important that without it the dead cannot rest in their grave he says that's where we got to start from we have to make sure that we transcend the trivialities the pettiness that causes strife between people within their own family and then from there as the gemara says a person is now to get married until they see their wife why she nemer you know what sunnah is between husband and wife that's where it starts between ray and and then you could work on ava srinam with your brother and your sister and then you could work on it with your children and then with the guy sitting next to you in shul and then maybe you'll have a fighting shot that you'll get along with another group in claudius that has a different outlook than you do but there's another thing we do in this in the haggadah that is reminiscent of and that is i had this list a number of years ago in the city of krakow to go to the cover of al-azhar ashkenazi he wrote on mcgillis esther the commentary yoiseif he rode on hashem with an amazing haggadah rabbi lesnar ashkenazi was a doctor and one wrote one of the classic commentaries on khumash we know we dip on they'll say the snaip what is the significance of these he says one is to remember the dipping that caused us to go down to mizrahim and one is to remember the dipping that got us adam it's right the dipping that causes us to go down to mitzrayim is vayitpullu we dip yosef's tunic and blood the dipping that got us out of mitzrayim is on the final night in egypt uttar by the way says the same thing that second dipping was the kapara for the dipping by machira that dipping was the dipping of sinas and the final dipping learnt the lesson that they're going to get out of the mess they have to come together but akhas they have to come together as one unit as one nation and my grandfather zach shimon hershbang would always say that anovi when does he appear he appears at a bris why does he appear at a bris because at a bris we don't invite anybody everybody's invited we were masaki in the sin of kanso barkamsa where somebody was thrown out of a meal that they were not invited when does elio return elio returns to a meal that no invitation is necessary and therefore we conclude the avoida of the lal cedar and we say lushana hababi shallam habanuya the only thing is we're not there yet we're still in the galas and not only was our galas caused by sinatra but the original golis mitzrayim was as well so if we want if we are serious in our requests of shayibanna besamiktasm we have to be masaken this hate and i wasn't planning on talking about this subject but over the last couple of days keep on seeing the grave of yosef azadek being desecrated how can you help but think that if the sadduce if the foundations the pillars of the world are being shaken up then maybe the ubanisham is reminding us that why is not here yet and when we're able to reverse that then we'll observe thank you everyone for joining wishing you all a good and you could join us this week wednesday night wednesday morning wednesday night we have a very uh important share on who wrote the haggadah so everyone is currently invited and i wishing you all brock about slack okay you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by
