The Encounter that Wasn’t between Shmuel and Reb Yochonon

The said that as long as Ra was alive. So Raban would send letters to Rav and he would address him as after Rab passed away. So now is no longer corresponding with Rav now he's corresponding with and he would write him and felt that the reason is calling him and not Rabenu was probably because doesn't think that knows anything that doesn't know. He says I'm going to show him that I know. And what does he do? He sends him the of 60 years. And gets the letter. He says, "No, he knows math. That's not a reason for me to refer to him as said back." He says, "You know something? I'm going to show you. I know how to learn." He sent him 13 camels of suffic. And saw that, not only was he impressed, he said, "I have to meet this year." And he literally was in root and they deceived him from the child tells him which obviously meant when in fact had not really died and the bottom line is says the you find this in it's actually interesting because there's an idea of if there's a kash that somebody died right a rumor spreads that somebody died when the person's really alive say it's a school and I've heard over the years different stories about different sadik and most notably most notably Right. There was a rumor that spread to wasn't alive and they were for him after this. This is it happened with the great where must have thought wasn't alive. I get sounds like he probably stopped sending him letters until uh you know maybe got another uh 13 camels full of suffic traus. But the bottom line is this is the gimar I saw margles in his classic. He has like a long piece over here just mentioned the last line. He says so you know is trying to impress on and he said I'll show him something that I know doesn't know and he sends him back. He said okay you know math you're right. I don't know the the as well as you know right was known as and the reason he was known as because he was an astronomer. He knew astronomy and he knew all these, right? We said math, it's astronomy. But the point is because he was so well-versed in in astronomy. See, he said, "Ah, I'm going to flex in an area of that I know I have that for sure doesn't have." But again, Raban dismissed it. He was very very unimpressed. So what did he do afterwards? He sent him suffic and ra commented he said my son knows like and the hill brings tup and one shot is that rahan was the world's leading bucky in the world of traus. So Shoo tells Rabin, "Oh, really? You're not impressed? I'm going to show you that I know Trafus better than you." And Shu goes ahead and he sends all these soft tra and it worked cuz Ra was so impressed. He was so uh taken about it that he says, "I have to go see him.
