Hi, this is Davidski and welcome to our
pre pesak
uh podcast of the Rabolowski
show. It's a lot of peas over there.
Hope I don't spit into the microphone.
It's a perfectly perfect
[Laughter]
day. Anyway,
um whether you're watching with our
friends over at Tory Time or wherever
you watch or listen to your podcast, as
always, we're happy to have you along
for the experience. And don't forget to
like, share, subscribe, and
comment. And we have a sponsor this week
who sponsored last week, too. I'm
reading this once again, and the person
uh who is sponsoring this went so far as
to sponsor two episodes. And as I've
mentioned already, it's uh it's your
support that makes this show
possible.
Possibly. Hi, I've been waiting so long
to do this. Three exclamation marks. I
have always wanted to donate and now I
finally can. You should go make and to
continue to have tremendous strides in
your parosa. Your podcast bring
happiness to my life. I am so glad. When
I was going through a difficult time, I
would tell everyone that one of the only
things that makes me smile was this
podcast because you can't smile without
you. I can't laugh. I can't sing. I'm
finding it hard to do anything. It's
like one of those, you know, just to
cheer you up kind of
songs. Don't stop. As listen, when I was
growing up, people always tell me to
stop. I used to say I got p paid for
singing. people would pay me not to.
Anyway, don't stop as you are changing
my life and many others. May God bless
you and the work that you do. Best
wishes, RG. Best wishes right back at
you. Okay, this is our prep um uh
podcast
performance.
Personally, I prefer to do podcast
before
Pes. So, uh I put on my matzah tie. I
usually wear this tie um first night of
Peso. That's when I wear this.
someone had gotten this many many many
years ago and um uh and I would like to
just take a moment to talk about my
favorite subject which is myself and
um just talk about what a tremendous
balidas I am because I go to davin
someplace and there's always several
people wherever I'm ding who likes to
say what happened you spilled some mutz
on your
toy and I go that's a that's a very good
one I've never heard that one for anyway
because I'm a tremendous bombas. So if
you do it, you will not hear me make any
kind of a a rude comment. I'll be like,
"Oh, that's very nice. Thank you."
Anyway, because uh I've worked years on
on my midas and uh and uh I have to
really say that my Anova is probably my
greatest mida. I've worked so hard uh to
be humble and I'm so impressed with the
level of humility that I've achieved.
That is a joke. For those of you who are
not aware, for the humor impaired, we'll
have to have like a little sign. That
was a joke. Anyway, people don't always
know. There was
a Rabbi Shet was giving a shir and
someone showed him a shot that somebody
wrote down in their safer that they had
heard from Dev Labitz. And he looks and
he goes, "I was in this shar. This was a
joke." He said it was a joke and he
wrote it down as if it was real. So, uh,
you got to be careful with that, you
know. So, just want to point that out.
Anyway, so, uh,
um, yeah. So, this is it. It's gonna be
PES already. Uh, Shabas, right? One of
these, uh, funky years where we're gonna
have to have everything all done
beforehand and then Arab Pes is Shabas.
have to get in those two sudas before uh
before
beforeicky tricky. Anyway,
um let's uh uh so let's finish what we
were doing last week for those of you
who may have missed last week. Last week
was a continuation of what we did last
year on Pesak. What we did last year on
Pesak is a one of my flights of fancy
wherein I'm taking the atbash of
Pesak that was um mentioned by uh the
tour that there's an atbash of Pesak
that alf the first day of pes
corresponds to tough
tish ba the second
day corresponds to shin for giml
Third day corresponds
toash. Um the fourth day corresponds
to
for of and the fifth day corresponds
to and the sixth day corresponds to pay
which is purim of the year before. So
that means that Yam Kipper is uh going
to correspond is going to come out
Wednesday night, Thursday this year.
That's how you uh that's you can make
that
calculation. Um so uh that means we're
going to have uh another one of those
years where you have an extra shabas in
between Yam Kipper and Sukus. So, uh,
just make a little mental note. You have
to really pack it in. All right. But
we'll talk about that when we get closer
to I'm wondering why the
um fifth day of Pesak should correspond
to Yum Kipper. So I mentioned last time
that on Pes unlike sukus where every day
of moade we read the same thing which is
what which is the of that day and here
in we do it four times in you read two
kbon because you have to take that's why
when you have one of those uh sidorm in
America you have those brackets for each
day encouraged taking two days on each
day because you have to do it you know
every day you have to do this on the
third day you have to do the third day
and the fourth day on the fourth day the
fourth day and the fifth day etc but
here we just do whatever the carbon is a
day on yum ravi we do the kurban of yum
ravi and we just read it four times so
it's really pretty straightforward on
pesak we do different creus on every
single day and on the fifth day the crea
is from
kisa why kisa because there is a as I
mentioned the gullim uh besides being an
amor with all of the yum toim it's in
mishbatim it's in kisa and it's in re so
on the fourth day we read the scholum
that is in mishbatim and the fifth day
we read it in kisa now this happens to
be very interesting if the fifth day
corresp responds to Yam Kipper because
we know that the story of Yam Kipper
takes place in
parasisa. A quick historical overview
and this is what's in
parasa. Moshe goes up on
Hari on
uh he comes down on
Shivosamos. He sees we built the eagle.
He breaks the luos, destroys the eagle,
kills the people who serve the eagle,
and then goes back up for another 40
days and 40 nights and comes down on the
29th of of and he says, "Okay, God is
going to forgive you, but he will no
longer live in your midst." And Moshe
takes his own tent and sets it up
outside of the Machnah, and the cloud
rests upon his tent. And uh and that
becomes the O mo. And the people say to
Moshe, "Sorry, we can't live like this.
We want Hashem back the way it was."
Said, "Well, I'll do the best I can." So
he goes up for another 40 days and 40
nights starting on Roshesh El through 40
days and he comes down with the second
set of luos on Yum Kipper and that's why
yum kipper becomes a day of and
kapor and he is also told about the
yudgim midos which can be used to get
forgiveness for and that's why so much
of yum kip paper focuses on the
yudgeimidos. Certainly when you come to
nila over and over again we say the
yudgimidos I grew up they used to sing
the yudgimidos and let me tell you when
you have to sing the yudimidos
uh you know 15 times in a row almost
[Music]
after a while it gets a little hard
especially when you're watching the
clock there but um uh but if you just
have nila where they're saying the it
takes right a lot of time to get it all
in uh we say it over and over again
that's in
parasisa and then at the end when hashem
finally forgives the Jewish people and
agrees to give them the second lucos
once Again, we have the
shrim. There's a difference in the
shrim that's
described in Kisa and the one
of and perhaps I will focus on uh one
aspect of that and that is sukus.
um when it's described in sukus
is which is the end of the year and when
it's described in kisa it's the
beginning of the
year now I heard a ver years ago I asked
this misha shapiro and uh and he said he
never heard that but it's obviously
based on the of kahana And I spoke about
this if you go back to last year when we
talked about Russash Shana a little bit
and that
is the Torah that we have is not the
Torah that we were supposed to have
gotten that got broken. Right? The first
l were different because uh it says um
don't
read carved into the lus
but freedom in the lus and the kazal say
freedom from forgetting freedom from
evil freedom from death. That means that
if we would have gotten those first set
of luhov, those first tablets, that
would have been a cure for all of the
ills of mankind, we would have brought
the world back to Gan Aiden. Hence the
expression, take two tablets and call me
in the morning. Right? Those first two
tablets would have changed the entire
world. And so obviously there are a lot
of mitzvah in our Torah that would not
be in uh in uh that Torah. One for
example would be
paraduma. There would be no need to have
a para of paraduma of how to metah
yourself from tummy maze because nobody
would ever die. So that obviously would
not be there.
And the yum toim would have been
different. And this is the pika the
ravkahana
that quoted and he said there were the
the
av spanned three months. Tamos of and
there were supposed to be holidays in
those months and those holidays were
taken out and they were all moved to
Tish meaning and he made the once in
a rashana would have been
shazam that would have
been yam kipper would have been
tishav
and sukis
would have been an
el and then we would count 49 days till
we do like we do from pes to
shuis is called by the by the khazal
ateris assembly so too there would be
sukus and then we'd count 49 days and we
would
have it wouldn't be called then it would
just be called
ateris and that would have been in tish
The only holiday that was supposed to be
in tish
was and instead they all got moved into
tish which means before the
ael at the beginning in paras mishbim
sukus was supposed to be in l at the end
of the year now it's in tish at the
beginning of the year and all of these
yum to him changed and
morphed everything turned around because
of this. So,
uh, that's what it was supposed to
be. So, the the fact that the schol have
changed along with the rest of the
Tory, it's because of the fact that we
built the eagle and we messed up and we
finally got forgiveness on Yam
Kipper and that allowed us to repair the
damage that was done. Now again I've
said this every in every one of these
shurim that I'm saying on this
topic. I have no basis for saying all
these things that I'm saying. This is my
own flight of
fancy that I'm assuming that there's a
relationship between the alf and the
tough between the first day of pes and
tish and I'm assuming there's a
relationship between ba the second day
of pes and etc. So what I'm saying over
here this is like I say olive bay and
gimmel are pretty solid. It's not that
hard to be able to make the association
and to make the relationship. Um when we
come to dollar and hay I'm I'm investing
in it more.
So the way I said it was like
this that alf is the day that we come
out of mitz. Yeah that was that was a
wow. The second day we had to begin the
work. That was why begins that concludes
with it starts the 49 days that were
leading up to become the people to get m
the third day is rashana. Why? Because
on that day that's when the guards told
us to return and we said no and we beat
them up and sent them on their way and
we understood what was going to happen.
We saw what was going to be going
on and was that was the real liberation
because as long as those guards were
with us and we had this idea that maybe
we might have to go to back to the tri
we weren't completely free yet and that
was a new beginning for
us. The fourth day as we explained in
the last uh in the last uh podcast
um is
uh because now we have to start doing
the work, right? Get down to business.
Not just talking about it, but sitting
down and learning and uh and whatever
Torah that we had, whatever ideas that
we had, we had to start working. And
then that brings us to
Yipper where we understand now parro is
going to come and get us and that was on
the sixth day that he came that was pur
when you
feel you're hopeless and everything is
gone but on this last day
mistama where they start to examine
themselves in the fourth day and now on
the fifth day they're anticipating
Pyro's arrival. Now is a time to start
looking at your life and doing chuva.
Now is a time to start realizing, okay,
um I I better I better start putting my
house in order. That leads into purim.
And as we know uh it's a kadesh that
says yum kiper is called yum hakipurim
which could be read as yum kipurim a day
like purim which seems like a pretty
amazing concept but you know there are
three days of
matra there was shus when we basically
heard hashem give the dbros but those
actual lucos we never got they were
broken. So we didn't we didn't get
those. The alakadesh says that the
reason is called the holiday of weeks is
because we can't call it the holiday of
Torah because we didn't get the Torah,
right? That that Torah was broken. All
we can celebrate was the weeks of
preparation leading up to
there. Yum kipa was the day that we
actually got the luos. That's when we
got the turbikav. That's when we got the
actual
Torah. Purim is when we were the
Torah. So you see that Yum Kipper and
Purim are both days of
Kabatra. But one was because we got to
see the miraculous salvation. And the
other one is because we sensed that we
have the ability to repair the damage
that we've done.
When Shapiro was explaining how
Shivasamos and Tishab would have been
rashipper he said like this had we
received those first luos that would
have been rashashana why because we
count rashashana from the creation of
the world mist right that's according to
rabbi leaza the world was created on
rashashana according to rabbi Yeshua it
wasn't it was created on rashes Nissan.
So you need of course the drussan to
explain according to what the
significance of Russash is. But had we
received those first lucos the world
would have begun all over
again. I give you an example. The Garan
Sanhedrin says
um how long will the time of Msiah come?
So the first shittita says from the
creation of the world till the end of
the world. that entire period of time.
The other one says no from the time of
Noah after the marble till here. Why?
Because it was a new world. The moble
was a new world. We look at the world
all over again. We're starting over. It
wasn't the same
world. It's very interesting.
Uh the says
um that Har died in front of his father.
He says no child ever died in the
lifetime of his father until Har. And he
says if you look at the years and it
tells you how long Shamesh Pel how long
everybody lived no child ever died in
his father's lifetime. So then he asked
the obvious question, what about
Cayenne? He says that doesn't count.
That was before the
mobble. Or if you did your SAT
preparation
uh course, it was
anti-delivian. It's a great word.
Anti-dolivian literally means before the
flood. Yeah. So anti-delivvian means it
was a different world. It was a
different world after the marble than
the world be after the marble. So you're
starting over again. It's a new world.
Yeah, if we would have gotten those
first lucos, the world that we would be
living in would have been unrecognizable
to the world that we were living in and
the world we're living in today because
you'd be in a world where there'd be no
yates, there'd be no death, there'd be
no
uh the world would
be gone again. It would go back to what
the world was supposed to be. it would
solve all the in the
world. But that didn't happen. But that
could have been Rash. So this is what he
said when it comes
to no matter how great you are, you need
a day for forgiveness.
You always need a day of andap because
as the
says there's no person in the world who
doesn't do something
wrong
explains from the very fact that you're
human there's going to
be things that you do that go against
your vote. Notice Hashem simple example
is you sleep well you're certainly not
sorry when you're sleeping now yes you
can have when you're going to sleep that
I'm sleeping to give myself the strength
to be able to do a hashem
but being physical as explains being
physical by the very fact that you're
physical in and of itself that means
that there going to be aspects of your
hashem you're not going to be able to do
there's going to be limits to how you
can
There's limits to your there's limits to
your there's only so much you're going
to be able to do because you're a human
being and you're physical and your
physical
limitations by definition limits you.
This is uh also the shot that the kazal
explained on the yudgomidos and we when
it's explain says
hashem hashem hashem forgives you before
you've done anything wrong. Hashem and
hashem forgives you after you've done
things wrong. So of course all the maf
ask how could I need forgiveness if I
haven't done anything yet and the answer
is simply from the human experience from
the fact that you're a human being you
end up doing things wrong because of
your physical limitations. So you always
need a yam kiper even in a world of
completion you need one day that is set
aside
for and kapara.
So I'm again this is this is my flight
of fancy.
So on this day just before pyro arrives
this is an opportunity where people have
to sit down and stop and think what am I
doing in this world? What am I trying to
accomplish? Um what have I done wrong?
What can I do? Now they obviously didn't
do pure chuva. That's obvious. Yeah. How
do I know? Because when they come to the
Yamsu, it says the Yamsu wanted to drown
Ben Israel
also. Why shouldn't I kill them
too? So whatever real chuva is, we
didn't do
it. But you know there is a shittita of
Revi in the Mishna which says that
um you can get capura on Yam Kipper even
without
chuva. Just yum kipper itself gets you
forgiveness. The power of that day. So
before we were going to face off against
pyro and then conclude with the theapaku
of k yamsuf the one of the most
unexpected events in human history
because no one pictures the sea
splitting. That is something so outside
of human experience. So when you uh see
something like that, so uh we don't even
know what to make out of it. Yeah. So
that's the purim that's the but that's
the yum kipur. But yum kip where we have
to stop and think I am falling short. I
need to make improvements. There are
aspects of my life that are not right
that I need to change.
And there's the mahus famous makus in
the gumar about whether or not we need
to do chuva to bring msiach between rav
and
shmo. And uh it turns out that rav says
mashia will only come if we do chuva and
says no mashia will come even if we
don't do chuva. So we say this is
similar to a rebel and
Yeshua says Mashiach will not come
unless we do chuva and says listen to
this nope you don't have to do chuva
rather will bring a
melmon now hmon was not the king he
didn't have the absolute power now
imagine if hmon was actually the king
look at how bad it was when he wasn't
the king and he will make gazeras
onel and then we'll do
chuva. So say then what's the
mas right says mashia won't come until
you do chuva and Yeshua says no he'll
bring a terrible king and then you'll do
chuva. So uh they're both agreeing you
have to do chuva and then it turns out
that nobody's saying like who says you
don't have to do chuva from to come.
So the way to understand it I think yeah
and this is what some of them refers to
explain is even schmo agrees you have to
do some kind of chuva but what rav means
is you have to do real chuva real chuva
I've told this story in the past yeah
when the twin towers went down that
sukus happened in just before that sukus
I went to
visit and And he would tell anybody who
would listen this is go. This is the
beginning of the end. This is Mashiah is
coming now. And somebody there who was a
you know bonafide not like me you know
average Joe he was a real guy. And he
says but there are those who said that
World War II was go and he says can low
because Mash didn't come. I said, "Yeah,
but but look at the effect of the show.
Look what it's had on the Jewish
people." He
says, he says, "These were the words. It
was so hard to listen
to that was nothing." Says, "A help for
the people who died. They
died." But it obviously did not fulfill
the role of Goaog and
Cla. How do you know? Because
um it says when goamoga comes everyone
will do
chuva. Says
David there was a shawah did you do
chuva
says chuva after this you will do
chuva. So two interesting things of
course from three interesting things
from that story and that is obviously
whatever the role historical role of the
holocaust was it's not what most people
think certainly not
go second thing is he knew that I hadn't
done cha third thing is he gave me a bra
that I will do
chua which I definitely appreciate but
um but the idea that uh um that we will
have to do chuva. So that's what Vishua
is saying. It'll be a chuva that we'll
do, but it's not going to be the chuva
that we do.
um which is a chuva schla like like ra
is saying like ribbazzar is saying it
means that there'll be some type of
achuva where um just from the fear we'll
turn to
bar and the anticipation on that day
before parro
arrived even according to Yeshua
obviously they didn't do full chuva like
ribbazzar says or like rav says
But p just like and by the way the
gamarra brings a bisc where and Yeshua
argue back and forth with different
psukim and finally agrees Yeshua and
says yes in
fact we won't have to do a complete
chuva from mashiah to come even he
agrees so whatever level of chuva they
had to do there had to be something that
comes about from the anticipation and
that fear
her. Now Clausfel took that opportunity
to stop and to
think and
uh the power of Yam
Kipper there is one day which is of
course that's of course Yam Kipper.
Having said that, there is every single
day right person should do chuva the day
before you die. And since you don't know
when you're going to die, then you
should do chuva every day. So the
concept of yam kipra is something that
should be there all the time. The hidden
power of yam kipra like rebi says to get
your forgiveness even if you don't do
chuva. That's that's unique to yam
kipra. That's where forgave us
completely in a way that did not make
any
sense because we blew
it. I've mentioned this in the past that
the masle of is the basula.
Why? Because it represents there are
certain things you can only do in this
world
once. And once you lose it, you lost it.
It doesn't matter how how bad you feel
about it.
And that's true in everything. If you
did something stupid and you cut off
your hand, your hand is
gone. Doesn't matter how sorry you are,
you're never getting it back. The fact
that a kosh forgave us and gave us
another set of luos and agreed
to once again live among us etc. That's
the miracle of yam kipra. It doesn't
make any sense. We didn't deserve it.
So the fact that Yam Kipper has the
power to get us forgiveness even when we
don't deserve
it, that's an unbelievable thing. And
any time that Israel turns to together
as
one. The med says when uh um parro
finally
arrived, Clao turned into four
groups. There were those who said let's
dive in. There were those who said let's
fight. There were those who came to
fight with Moshe. There were those who
said let's go in the
sea. There was no unity before
Kamsu. The people had their own opinions
and
fighting. But it could be at this
particular moment before parro actually
arrives and like I say I don't have a
basis for any of this. This is all me
talking. It could be that Claios
themselves recognized that this was an
opportunity for us to be able to join
together. The truth of Yum Kipper comes
from the fact that we have confidence in
a
koshu and uh that a koshu is going to
forgive us. I it it's a strange thing
yam
kipra we go in dressed in
white we know
that best case scenario we came out of
yam kipra as a
bayon the odds of us I mean said I I'm
I'm a ban I came out as a sad gum and
the odds are are not are not good for
that so we uh we go
into saying we're
banim that scary image that blazer gave.
What does it mean? Ben and him are
hanging. Says you have to picture
yourself at the gallows with the rope
around your neck waiting to see if the
executioner pulls the lever or not.
You're hanging
at Yeah. You go in, you imagine the pad,
we go in dressed in
white. Not only that, when we say the
shamu, so when we say to
ourselves, god
knew, but when we say it
together, I always thought it was so
weird as a kid.
[Music]
We have lied. We have cheated and we've
uh and we act
deceitfully. We have robbed, stealed,
and killed. And I beat your grandma.
Hey, that's kind of weird.
That's that's what we're singing with a
tune like
that. And the answer is we go into
Yamipra with a confidence. We go into a
with a because it's we're being judged.
But
in said you step towards me. Take a step
towards me and I will forgive
you. So built into
Pesak is the potential for capora.
I talked about this once you know
um the theme of el is chuva theme of
rashashana is chuva sme chuva is chuva
yipper is chuva sukus is also chuva and
um and chuva yeah and it's chuva and
then if you're um if
you're
from chuva then you start chauvin do
chuva and then uh you come to
uh chuva right the three weeks chuva
it's a lot of chuva but obviously
there's nuances but what it means is
that there are opportunities throughout
our life and throughout our year when we
have chances to be able to change
ourselves who we're supposed to be pesak
is obviously therapeutic we've spoken
about this in the past, right?
Um, matzah is something that is a simple
bread. There's no luxury to it. It's not
a big, right? So, it takes out all the
ga ga. You take a flat matzah and you
put yeast in it and you turn into a big
uh white bread. Yeah. That's a that that
represents ga. You blew yourself up. And
it's le oni. It's poor man's blood
bread. There's no tya. Yeah. And so we
go for a week to cleanse
ourselves from all of that ga and tya
and get it out of our system. That's
what Pesak is. So once a week we have to
go through a a therapy to cleanse
ourselves to to remove all this from
ourselves before we can go back. similar
to sukus. We spend a um a week outside
of our houses um under
the we don't have a real roof. You can't
live without a roof when it rains. Yeah.
So it's it's a it's a therapy sus. So
too is pes and the point of it is to
help us change from who we were and to
start us on the road to and build us up.
The whole first week
is if you are um if you're uh
spir so it tells you the first week is
second week is gurus second third week
is deferris right until the last week is
malus seventh week is malus and
uh that's that we're going through but
the whole first week is is who took us
as a Yeah. And he and he took care of us
and he brought us to Yamsu to be able to
to experience that tremendous of
salvation and Yeshua that gave us which
as you see from the Yamsu we didn't
deserve. There's no difference between
them. They're all not the people of
God. So this week is
Perrick Daled he says after speaking
about din and all the exact judgment he
says so what does the raim do in the
world and he says the mercy in the world
does three things number one it means
you're not punished immediately because
you should get punished immediately as
soon as you do something wrong just like
you do in the physical world if you
stick your hand in a fire and you burn
off your hand there's no delay to that
happens immediately you don't say okay
I'm going to take take off your I'll
burn off your hand in three weeks. No,
you get it right
now. And you're not purnished with
burning anger would be fit a rebel
against the king. Yeah. There only one
punishment from and that's death. And
every time we sin as we say
on nothing what the particular sin is
irrelevant. you told me not to do it and
I did it anyway. I've sinned against
God. And so that's a that's a very
powerful thing. We have to take that
into account when we're um when we're
looking at it. We so therefore that
should be the punishment. What we used
to call when I was growing up the
lightning bolt meth method. Do something
wrong, you should immediately get
zapped. But Kho doesn't, right? He can
downsize your punishment. He has you'll
get punished, but it doesn't have to be
the same punishment. So the Gmorrah says
it could be you reached into your pocket
for a quarter and you pulled out a
nickel. Doesn't say that exactly because
there were no quarters and nickels back
in the time, but it means you went in
for one coin and you pulled out a
smaller coin by mistake. So you have to
go in again. That could be the extent.
Or you could have bought a suit and he
had it tailored and it doesn't fit just
right. I've had that kapur many times.
Um, and other things like that that he
can mitigate the punishment. It's it's
still din, but the rahman allows me to
have a um a certain flexibility in the
sentencing of the punishment.
And he says, "And the third thing
is what does
allow?" Chuva is a
complete because it doesn't make any
sense that you should be able to undo
what you
did. And he says, "If I committed
adultery or murder, how can I remove
that from reality?" And he explains how
it's possible to do it, but it's a it's
a there is a method, but the method is
definitely.
So the first week
of is
all and gives us
the means that he creates the potential
for chuva. What yam kipper is that was
manifested where we were able to undo
the terrible
betrayal that we did by the eel.
uh the the the terrible crime we did
against the bar, we were able to undo it
and recreate what we had beforehand and
Hashem forgave us.
Shalom. So during this week when we come
out of
Mitzim, that's the ability that we have
to take
this of Chuva. So perhaps and like I
say, yeah, it's only a perhaps that's
why the fifth day when we read para's
kisa which is the which is the para of
the ael and yam kipper and the chuva
that we did maybe because there is a
hint that the fifth day as the as the um
as the Torah tells us corresponds to Yam
Kipper and that power of Yam Kipper that
could manifest test itself just before
we have to come face to face with a
disaster. The chuva that we will do
before Mashiach comes in order to merit
that
salvation. Okay,
question Fox. Do you have a go-to salmon
recipe? I'm looking for a quick and easy
recipe for a busy mom. Thanks in
advance.
Well,
[Laughter]
well, I am so glad you asked me this
question.
Um, I uh I'm waiting to put out a
cookbook. Somebody wrote me, are you
going to put out a Hagi? You have so
much good stuff in the Hagada. Yes, I'm
going to do that, too. I've got a lot of
stuff to do. The problem is that I'm a
[Laughter]
terrible. Yeah, I uh I get distracted
easily, you know, and so um uh so I'm
supposed to do it. But uh I wanted to
name it what my mother used to say to
me, but people said you you can't do it.
So when my mother who was working with
my father, you know, she started going
to work when my father went bankrupt to
rebuild the business. So she wasn't
home. So, uh, there are six boys and I,
you know, I just like by, um, by certain
amphibians, if they're all males, some
of them will turn into females, but they
change or vice versa. So, I I became
the, uh, the girl and they didn't even
know about gender fluidity back then.
So, I was the token girl. So, I would do
the cooking and the shopping and the and
the and and the cleaning and the laundry
and stuff, you know, and that was uh
that was my role, you know. So, um my my
brothers went to help in the store. My
father said, "Do me a favor. Stay home
and help your mother." You know, or uh I
I just went to fix uh fix my car and I
saw a sign up and says um rates
$100. Yeah. An hour. If you stand over
us,
$200. Yeah. If you um if you if you
offer suggestions, $300. If you try to
help, $400. If you tried to fix it
yourself,
$500. And I said, "That is absolutely
brilliant." I remember when I was a kid,
my father would be working on something.
I said, "Dad, can I help?" He says, "You
want to help? Don't help."
So, I used to come into the store and
apparently I I um I was a negative force
instead of a positive force in the
store. So, he'd say, "Do me a favor.
Stay home and help your mother." So, um
uh so my mother would say, "Put up the
soup." And I said, "I don't know how."
And she'd say, "It's easy, stupid." And
she'd say, "Do this, do this, and this."
And I did, and it worked. Or she would
say, "Put up the brisket." I said, "I
don't know how." And she say, "It's
easy, stupid. Do this and that." Right?
So, I wanted to call the cookbook a
teasy stupid, but um uh people said,
"You really shouldn't write that because
stupid's not a nice word, etc." But it
was one of my mother's pet names for
[Laughter]
me.
Anyway, mom, I love you, Mom.
Anyway, but uh I I believe in easy. You
may have picked this up. My wife one
time was reading through the recipe
section in one of these magazines that
she gets. She doesn't really do it.
That's the only thing that I read. I've
I've said this more than once. I in the
hammuda I read that's an idea because I
think that's absolutely brilliant and
the last suggestions but I can never
remember them when Bishas Ma I wish they
would put them all together in a in a
book but uh I don't always remember
them. And um and uh the mishb I read the
kickles. Yeah. And otherwise I read the
recipe sections. Yeah. Just to remind
myself of the words of
um
ofineberg. It's hard to remain sane in
an insane world. When everybody's crazy
and you're normal, you start to think
that maybe you're crazy. And I look at
these recipes and they make things
sometimes that I make only with nine
extra steps. And I can't understand for
the life of me why they do that. And I
believe on making everything as simple
as possible. And that's why in my
recipes uh I have a lot of things that
are very very simple. Yeah. Um because I
believe in it. How do I make salmon?
Listen very closely. Okay.
I sprinkle on garlic powder and lemon
juice. I put it in the oven and I bake
it at 350 until it's done to your
wellness. I like it a little more well
done. Um, most people like it a little
less well done. And that's it. It's
delicious.
Now, my wife one time was reading one of
these recipe sections and she says to
me, "They've just run out of
ideas. You can see they're just making
stuff up now to be able to figure out
how to print an issue." Because if you
put all of the normal recipes, i.e. the
ones that I make, yeah, it would just be
like one issue. That's going to be my
cookbook. Just easy, simple, normal
stuff, you know.
Um, I'm sorry. I I just When you have an
entire uh section uh issue dedicated to
different ways to prepare raw fish,
you've lost me. I'm not there. I'm not
going to do
it. I know people like raw fish. And I
think that's wonderful. Um, I just
remember the words of uh Jackie Mason
who says, "Sushi was invented by two
Jews who said, "How can we open a
restaurant without a
kitchen?" He says, "It's crazy." But I I
know my children, they sometimes like
that kind of raw fish stuff and I think
that's just great. But not me, my
friends. My fish recipes are all
delicious and simple. You can try this.
And in every issue, almost in every
magazine, they have another way to make
make uh um uh salmon and they're
crusting it with pistachios and they're
adding this sauce to it. They're doing
this and that. I don't do it this way.
Now, my wife, yeah, sometimes she'll
take it and she'll um she'll put teriyak
sauce on it. Very popular. Just take
teriyak, pour it on, bake it. very
delicious. Uh sometimes she'll take a
honey mustard sauce, right, and put it
on top. Now, how do you make your honey
mustard sauce? Listen carefully. Take
honey and mustard, mixed together, slap
it
on, break it that way. Yeah. And that's
how we make um salmon. There are many,
many more complicated ways to do it, but
your question is specifically, I'm busy.
It's before Pesak. How do I make it? A
little lemon juice, uh, a little garlic,
it'll be delicious. That's my opinion.
Okay. By anonymous, what is the
significance of the items that were
created on a
shabasm? What was their common
denominator? Okay. For those of you who
do not appreciate the reference in the
fifth per of
um, it says the following. It has a
whole bunch of
tensor. The world was created with 10
expressions. Uh 10 tests of Abraham, 10
times the people
tested. Yeah. And we know there were all
kinds of tens. Yeah. 10 generations from
from Adam to Noah. 10 generations from
Noah to Abraham. All the tens. And among
the tens 10 miracles that took place in
the B mikdesh. And among the tens are 10
things that were created in the twilight
of
creation. 10 things that were
created
after before. Now you understand that
could only have been a
moment. It could only have been a a
moment. Yeah.
Manas. because uh we in fact
say and God rested on the seventh day
right but what was he doing that he
rested on the seventh day really he
rested at the end of the sixth day so
Rash brings two explanations one is well
he created rest there had not been
before he created rest in the world the
other explanation was that could tell
the difference between the end of one
day and another but to everybody else it
looked like it was the same
day. So by what could it have possibly
been because one day ends the next day.
That's what Rashi says. So Ben could
have been only a moment and he created
these 10 things.
What's the significance of creating
now both Rashi and the Ramban say in
more than one place that really
everything was created in the first
moment of creation and the next six days
or the remaining six days he put
everything in its right place but
everything was created in moment one
moment so what were these things why
weren't they covered already in the
creation so the answer
is that this world is represented by the
six days of creation
And Shabas
represents the world to
come. A world that is completely shabas.
It it it takes you out of this world.
There are six days and then there's a
seventh day and the seventh day is out
of
everything. That we don't really have a
seventh day. The seventh day is the
sixth day and then all the six comes
together. We've explained this when we
did our sham on Shabas where if you
picture a cube with six sides, Shabas is
what's in the middle. That's why the
moan is six points and that little
hexagon in the middle that's shabas. And
that's the same thing by the
spherus and are the six
manifestations and malus receives from
all of the other ones. It's a mabel of
all the other six spherus. So it all
comes in together. So it's not that the
seventh day is another day. It's not
another day. There's six days. There's
six sides. And the seventh is what gives
it meaning and fills it and brings it
all together. Otherwise, seven just
means a lot
like yeah it says you will flee before
them by seven roads or you will chase
them on seven. Just means a lot. Seven
is really six and then the thing that
brings it all together is what we call
seven. That's the uniting of those six
and everything comes together. Six years
you work on the shmita you enjoy what
you've done already and that's it. It's
not another year. It's the completion of
everything that went before it. Right?
So the six days of creation is this
world. Shabas is not this world. The
twilight of creation are things that are
in this world and not in this
world. They are twilight things.
So
um uh
the
pa the the mouth that swallowed up
Korak. There's no such a thing in the
Bria. It doesn't exist. And that's why
Mosha Reno says,"I want something that
has never been done before that is not
part of the Bria to prove that I'm not
just making this up as it's going along
and I didn't just make up the Tory and
that um he's not getting killed because
of my co but that there's a change in
creation
itself." Well, can't create something
new that never existed. So the P hab has
to be in the twilight of creation. It's
not part of creation but it's before
creation completely ends in the
twilight. So too animals do not have the
kayak of dore that is
uh it's a
foundation right when you play uh I
always say when you play 20 questions in
America they say animal veh excuse me
animal vegetable and mineral and people
are included in animal we when we play
it in uh in Israel we have
domainame silence that's that that does
nothing it just sits there that's
mineral. Soak something that grows
that's
vegetable those are animals and a human
being is a
madabir. So we understand people are not
part of animals because they have the
power of speech. Animals by definition
can't
speak. So the fact that the the
dunkey spoke to bum is not possible in
brium. Animals do not have the power of
debour. So the potential for this one
animal to speak had to be built into the
Bria. It was part of cre it had to it
had to be created but it's not part of
creation. It doesn't make sense in the
normal function of creation. And so all
of these 10 things are things that had
to have been created because they would
be needed in the world, but they are not
part of the world. And therefore if you
go through the 10 things with the mafur
over there I suggest particularly the
maharal you'll see how he describes how
all of these 10 things are are in
creation were used in creation but are
not part of the normal functioning of
creation. And that's it for this
