the mai meshes yam that we're going to learn tonight we're going to start learning tonight shem has an interesting story attached to it and although the story doesn't have anything to do with the content of the mind i'd like to begin the moment with the story the story is printed in the booth with a considerable amount of detail and the essence of the story was that many years ago in temperature there was of course a process by which tal medium were accepted into the yeshiva and they were what they would call then two's i guess call them semesters pacer time and tish day time many bhakram would come and be tested and examined for possible entry into the shiva's timing and of course there was a whole process by which one was allowed to enter into the yeshiva and a considerable number of potential applicants were were sent home or sent to other yeshivas one year i believe it was actually but i could be wrong 1905 or 6. a baker came to the yeshiva who was an eli he was brilliant it's very very intelligent and a very big scholar and the previous level was excited about accepting him into the yeshiva but his father that ashab observed that his countenance reflected an incredible coarseness his demeanor his appearance looked very very unrefined so the rabbi shabbat told the freedom they should take him into the yeshiva and that the passage says he should find a way to refine this boy now in time in those days there was a policy that said you didn't ask questions you were taught to do something you did it so the frida kraba proceeded to burden this young man with incredible pre-pesach tasks he put him in charge of the making of the monsters then he put him in charge of overseeing the uh this the seder of all of the bokrem all of which took a lot of time and a lot of energy above and beyond of course his obligations as a yeshiva bahrain is learning and so forth and then on ed of pesach itself the previous rabbit told him i want you to learn this maya mashed yummy which is quite a long moment and eight o'clock in the morning the morning after the say did he was going to test him on the maya meshech this was a considerable burden on this boy notwithstanding that he was so intelligent from me so the feet of gaba says that he very diligently and very with great discipline did all of the tasks he was given he oversaw the making of the matzah he took care of the the kitchen organized the tables and eight o'clock in the morning the first day basically he came with the sheisha's yama in hand that year i believe it was because as far as i know that was the only year that the shop did this there was a uddha with all the bachelorette the and of course he sat at the head of the table together with the rabbit and all the bakram sat in very great order along the shulhanas the tables that had been arranged and so forth and the rabbinish leans over and he whispers to the feet about this particular boy look at him now the the ghasis the crudeness the coarseness that he had on his countenance has been diminished he's beginning to look like a human being and the rabbi explained that this had to do with the zayasha mitzvah the the the exertion the sweat and performing mitzvas had a refining effect on him this is a very meaningful story and i'm telling the story simply because part of the challenge this bachelor was given as a means of affecting his refinement was to learn this very mai meshech
