this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com it's very poignant to be here right before the umph of purim at the cover of ben ravioli vice mandel the great sadiq he was born in 1903 on the fourth day of sajwan in his nifter kiss slave top shin 1957. his father was a shaykh and revised manda was born in slovakia and 1931 he comes to nitra to learn under the niger of shmuel david anger who ultimately raves mando marries his daughter bracha rachel and so he was an oberlander yid wasn't either she had and he's one of the great minds of the jewish people in our history really it's so interesting that he was an expert in uh many manuscripts in fact he traveled to oxford to go to the bodleian library and interesting legend has it that he was so uh he's so impressed the librarian and the bodleian library that he was given special access to various manuscripts now revised manda really dedicated his life to his younger years to be able to save as many hidden as possible and nebucha broken-hearted he felt there was so much that could have been done but unfortunately it fell on deaf ears revised mandel or collected money to bribe various officials roosevelt churchill the pope but ultimately the world did not want to hear what what they knew was true he was able to successfully halt to a great deal the extermination of slovakian jewry for about two years however after that amount of time 1944 there was uh they were rounded up including ravis mandel and his family they were put on the caddo car and they were headed to auschwitz revised honda was a brilliant mine he had hid a knife in a challah and he took out the knife he chiseled a hole in the cattle car and he jumped the train and he went back to slovakia and ultimately his life was saved but he never forgot the fate of his wife and he never forgot the fate of his family and he was distraught depressed over the fate of his people and his family he comes to united states and he remarries the daughter of the atheism yo tairobam and he had another five children but as it says on the keva masar nafshoi lahatsil amma he gave up his life to save his people he did not stop his morning le kevin sarah he brought his grieving his grieving down to the grave ravis mandel comes to new york together with his brother-in-law of shalom the son of the night sharov they established the yeshiva in nitra in somerville new jersey and i want to thank my my good friend of nelson welbler who he's a great grandson of straga five of mandulovic who ripped chaga fivel was uh successful in helping the nitro helping remichal bara establish the yeshiva in mount kisco in summersville okay we have traffic here in the uh cemetery we can push this to the side for a minute now the uh nitrov was not a healthy man he suffered from a number of uh heart attacks and finally in 1957 he was hospitalized for a few weeks and ultimately he was nifter on the sixth day of kiss slave in the year 57-18 1957. so we're here now at the keva in uh woodbridge memorial gardens in woodbridge new jersey and it's rather poignant that remix is renowned many don't know that he was uh bucky mamash because especially in the words of the reshanam but he was an expert in counting the letters of the torah he had almost a computer a mind that that worked like a makhashev like a computer in fact the story goes it's brought in the vahrehvahna or zuberstein that rabbyako if mordechai greenwald was once conversing with berwice mandel and he says um says to him do you know how many letters are in the magilla he said uh no i guess i must have just slipped my mind that says there are 12 letters in the magilla so greenwald said no what are you going to do with that he says let me show you you go to the first aleph in the torah of voracious and from there you count 12 196 letters the number of letters in the gilas esther and you get to a sama and from there you count 12 196 letters you get to a tough and likewise you count 12 196 letters you get to a race that's the remez to esther starting from the first aleph in the torah you count the number of letters in mcgillis esther it spells out esther now just between between us the statistic likelihood of spelling out a word and that kind of jump is impossible so with green world ass so new where's mordechai so weiss mandel says i don't know right now but i'll tell you next year comes back next year revised don't worry i didn't forget about it where is mordechai alluded to in the torah murdoch says if you count from the letter mem of mar derar 196 letters you get a rash from there 1 196 letters you get a dalid from there the same jump you get a huff and then a yod mordechai who could imagine being able to uncover such such compelling secrets of the torah it's even brought that robbie greenwald said there was a particular lady who was a tough cookie she would not be mamin and tarmina shamayim but when she was presented with this torah code and she worked in statistics she admitted that it's statistically impossible in any document to have cogent words spelled out in this kind of jump i have my own experience because i once shared a rem as a recall their vice mandel and somebody came over to me this was uh in a shul where i was arrest in queens and said to him this was the most compelling evidence to terminate that he ever came across and this is well known but to me it's particularly poignant i heard this from my father so many times but to to be able to say it at the caver of michael bear who he was the one who discovered this we know in mcgillis esther there are large letters and they're small letters the large letter are the letter s in flor carpasses the letter and the swarm teach us this is brought in the sheer main of the earloi is brought in the writings of maya chipotle and elsewhere that the big top and the big chest is brought on the sheriff's israel it's pronounced this this big tough and has represents that mordechai and esther encoded in the megillah the future soros of claudius so to speak and the future salvations well says we know if you look in the ten sons of haman you have three small letters you have a small tough a small shin and a small zion but we know the year tough shin zayn appears occurred six times in our history there's also a big vote in vaizasa says we know 1946 10 nazis actually 11 nazis were tried for their wartime atrocities that they committed to the jewish people and because the vatican pleaded for amnesty the court case was delayed until the following year 1947 tough shin zion on hashana rabbah and by that time one of the nazis goring had already committed suicide so they're down to ten and they were all hanged in the year at tough shenzhen which top shin zayin the big v the sixth time tough shenzhen happened in our history this is alluded to in the asaras bane haman who discovered this who could have come up with this incredible remiss somebody told me in his mind this is the clearest evidence that toyras minas it seems like the codes of ramikhal bear were so compelling to people people just said okay they're mahidah al-ms that this is a divine document and as we know julius when he was taken to be executed he cried out purim fest 1946 indicating that this is not the first time in our history that the jewish people celebrated the hanging of ten amalekim this was the what he called purim hashemi the second satan purim he said this was the second purim for the jewish people this is one of the the kaijus of rav mikhail vice mandel and to say it at the kevar right before the umpif of purim is quite a poignant moment remichal bear believed leka midi delay remiss about i said there's nothing that's not alluded to in the torah he believed that all the technology that is coming out in our century is all alluded to in the turf so one thing that he would say is that he tried to raise so much money to to be able to bribe officials to buy the lives of jewish people and people didn't want to buy buy these yiddin in fact he would say when the when it says you will be sold they aim kaina but nobody wants to buy you that referred to his efforts to try to redeem yiddin for money and people didn't take him up on it now remichael bear said there's a remez t america in the torah where it says about the torah the torah is not overseas so it says if it's talking to the jews in asia and europe what does it mean the torah is not overseas of course it's not over it says what is it what is the message of the torah that the torah is not overseas the answer is talking to the jews in america and it's saying to the jews in america don't think you need to go to eretz israel to learn torah the torah is wherever you want to bring it it's loim interestingly in the 50s when the russians were sending uh sputnik into outer space and there was talk about landing on the moon so some did not want to believe it is possible to land on the moon after all i'll bring you down from there all it means is that man can't live in a permanent manner in outer space and even if they do it's only because they bring the oxygen from earth and uh rehabber had astounding ramosam and he he said that when he would see a safer torah the letters of the torah would rise up and dance before him that's how he appreciated the words of the torah here we have he says him like a a powerful river he was able to uncover the secrets of the talmud and so say their limit his focus was to uncover the words of the reshinum from the gemara per mapic magoya mouth that emanated pearls oysters in his counting of the letters of the torah he so to speak the father of the torah codes and this of course is a great khilak of torahs vital says most of the secrets of the torah lay in what is called dilugay oyste ice so here we're in the aftermath of parshas zakhar the destruction of amalek heading into the yamthaf of purim and even though nabach we as mentioned in the megillah many of xeros are are revealed in miguel assessor but now we hope we should be zakha to the ultimate downfall of amalek and the issue of claudius and when that great day of trish sim comes certainly ramirez together with all that sadiq will you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
