The Greatness of Our Sages | TORAH FOR KIDS AI

[Music] So one of the masim one of the times that they had a very interesting story where is kavuta was Antonino. Antoninos was Caesar, the Roman emperor and Rebi was the prince of Am is but Antonino knew that the Torah was holy and he wanted to study Torah and he studied Torah with the best of them with Rebi. But he knew that if his people the Romans would actually find out that he's studying Torah, they'd kill him. So he built himself a tunnel from his house on the ground all the way to Rebi. Tunnel was built and he would go with two soldiers from his house the tunnel all the way to Rebi every night to study Tawa. one soldier he would kill in the beginning of the tunnel and a second guard as soon as he arrived at at Reb's place he'd kill him also because he knew that if they knew if they were these guards knew what he's actually doing he's learning Torah with the Jews he would tell the people they would kill him so the dean to allow him to kill this guard was meaning that if he comes to kill you you're allowed to kill him first he wasn't a murderer he was protecting his own life he was just obligated as a king to have these guards. So, nonetheless, one time he arrived at the study hall with Rebadosh and he sees Rebi, one of his students is there. He says, "Fod, oh, with all due respect, I told you this the studying is just between you and me, not your students. Uh, you know, I don't I can't have witnesses." He says, "Don't worry." He says, "He's like an angel." says if he's an angel, tell him to go tell my guard. Bring my guard inside. The guard's dead. But he doesn't tell him that. So he sends go bring the guard. Go bring the guard. He goes bring the guard. Now the saying in the in the says only a fool brings bad news. So now the of sees a dead guard. He says maybe he didn't know was dead. Maybe he knew. Maybe he didn't know. I'm going to be I'm going to give bad news to the king of the goim. Only a fool does such a thing. What does he do? He brings him back to life. Why? Cuz he was kadosh. He brings him back to life. They go inside. Antonus knew he killed him. He says, "Ah, Rebi, you're right. You're students. They're not like people. They're not like people. Why? Because they're named in the not like people. They can revive the dead. But please, next time don't bring them anyway." Now why do I say this? Rebi was in a generation after Rabaka. He was a student of of the student of Rabaka. And Rabaka was a student of Rabbinos and it keeps going up and up and up and up and up and up all the way to Mosheren. The amazing thing is that just when you talk about Rebi, in order for you to be a student of his student to be mentioned by name, you have to revive the dead meaning that even the the Rambam which was not even able to be a student of but when it's compared to us like I said before we're as far from the Rambam as we are from the moon for as well we are from the sun. It's it's it's beyond us. And the way that we see it is that there was one guy, one intellectual, a uh Nobel Prize winner. One time he said, "What's the big deal about this Rambam? What's the big deal? He wrote some laws. You guys are studying how he wrote it. Just study what he wrote." No, no, no. We don't study that way. The Rambam has such wisdom. We study how he wrote it. What letters he used as if it's like how God wrote the Torah. It's not just what he wrote, but how he wrote it. What's the big deal? It says, listen, he wrote not only the law, but he wrote it in the least amount of words, the most amount of information with the least amount of words. But Einstein said, if you don't know something to explain something in a simple way, then you don't know well enough. Meaning, you have to be able to explain to a child most amount of information with the least amount of words. So, he says, pick any law that the Rambam said that we have in our Torah. Write it in the least amount of words. The guy studies this law, simple law, whatever it was. After a few months, he comes back. Okay, I wrote this law in 21 words. Rabbi said, "Lower it a little bit." Okay, a few more months. 17 words. Lowered it a little bit. What do you mean it's less than 17? He lowers it to 13 words. 13 words. And then it's gets to a point where he's convinced that at 13 words he's we're finished. They look at the Rambam where it's seven words. And not only that, at the seven words at the seven words, it's actually more clear and more educating than the 13. That's how far we are. So when we understand that how holy and smart and wise and far from us the sages were we have to think twice before we say I don't agree with the Ramba I don't agree with I I don't agree with the because in reality you're only saying it because you don't understand who you're dealing with thank for 1 2 3 1 2 [Music] 3 Beacious.
