of um the Kev we talk we spoke about
there's 11 Mas there's
11 uh channels that a person goes
through until he finally gets his final
destination as we all know Final
Destination but in the meantime we're in
the beginning where we mentioned that
there's a position of going from the
house until the Kev and uh that itself
is a certain din on top of a person when
he goes from the house to the Kev that's
why he said we Tred to hurry up we try
to speed up the uh
the transferring to the Kev as soon as
possible that's why we don't leave it we
spoke about being buried in a Israel
there's a certain kapar a certain
atonement that a person receives when he
when he when he does that okay as long
as he's able to be buried in a Isel
that's the different things we spoke
about and it's worth even waiting
sometimes even to go to AR Israel even
though we don't usually keep a body
around but for the sake of AR Israel we
spoke about all the different things
that was there and we also the last
thing one other thing we spoke about is
that the malim all the actions that a
person does goes with him follows him to
the Kev goes inside the Kev and that's
what he spoke about following the Kev
that children do not follow the C at
least because of that reason that's what
we spoke about last time okay now on a
similar note in a continuation to that
idea we're going to mention a few
important that have to do with when one
is buried or one's relative is
buried that shouldn't happen but just
different ideas based on this idea that
we were speaking about until now first
of all thear had brings that we are not
to bury aik next to a r we don't let aik
be buried next to a rash in general a
good person next to a bad person it's
not even just a and aik even a person
who's on a higher level and a lower
level they're talking about a and aik
even a shouldn't be next to a sadik now
I think most people think if I P then
I'm not allowed to be very next to
without P it depends what kind of star
what kind of hat I'm wearing if it's an
upad or not an upad as we all know means
a person who does extra he goes the
extra nine yards he does
extra and he not oppresses himself but
he not only is also someone who learns
and he spends time but sometimes does
more and Beyond some people fast but it
doesn't have to be that but we we're
learning about you can look at the sh
there okay the ideas of doing a little
bit more but all I'm saying is that
higher levels and lower levels we
usually try to be differentiation some
people say you know big deal I mean
they're on the ground what's the big
deal why is it such a thing so the
answer is that it causes
now that we've been learning all these
things in these past weeks we know that
there is a nees remember we spoke out
even when a person is not alive but the
nees is still there then the sh and the
ru the two higher Spirits might not be
there but the nees there's a certain
type of there's a certain type of life
that's still within the bones of a
person and one of those things causes
that he doesn't want to be narried next
to a rash Rashi brings
down not to bury so idea nice concept A
good idea Etc we're very
muched about this not to do it now why
is it so for one of two reasons okay
it's learned out from Alisha because
Alisha was buried in a certain place
Alisha anovi was the talid ofi okay for
those who have not been through right
Alisha yua was a big very big person he
was Etc and he was a he was buried and
they put next to him another person they
buried next to him another person who
wasn't a r but he wasn't a sadik either
he wasn't he definitely wasn't Alisha Ai
and uh what happened was some some of
theim say that it was the the child of
theam the one that he was M that was the
one that bu I guess they wanted to bury
him next to the person he he brought
this kid back to life so maybe they
wanted to bury him next to him but L
says that after they buried him there
the bones of this thing got up of this
uh not alive corpse whatever you want to
call it got up and it stood up and it
ran away what skeleton skeleton yeah I'm
not sure I think it happened pretty soon
so I don't know if he was a skeleton yet
I would say it was more of a corpse but
anyways this this uh I what to call this
this corpse we call it yeah got up and
he ran away he ran away until he was
buried somewhere else he had to be
buried somewhere else so from here we
learn the idea that's what thear brings
in so from here we learn the idea they
don't bury again over here is not a rash
he wasn't a rash just was a par he
wasn't he wasn't here and as they say he
was here and there but next to sadik you
have to be very careful bu to you'll see
a lot of times a lot of where theik is
there they won't necessarily bury other
people around it it'll usually be in his
own spot or whatever like own special
okay was not right but I'm saying a lot
of times sadik will have his own little
individual area or something like that
in order to be
buried some people say is approximately
4 meters away from someone else who is
not holding on his level and sometimes
when you're very very big so that makes
a problem right who's who's going to be
buried next to such a person so they
have to be very careful where they uh
where they put him they usually have
special plots for these types of people
okay anyway so that's a that's a reason
now the reason for this is is for one of
two reasons or it's because of the rash
or it's because of the tadik it's for
both okay these are different reasons
that are brought down amongst theman
that's one of the over there in sanedrin
again says that it's a B for the tadik
it's not nice for the sadik it's not
nice for him or another pish that's
brought down because on the rash the
rash is going to be in bad bad shape
he's sitting here next to this like
wanted to run away from a he didn't want
to hang out with a too long because he's
next to sadik he doesn't look good right
we don't try to right he don't want to
hang out with him too long so too the
rash right next being buried right next
to sadik doesn't look good so he doesn't
want to be over there up when he's in
the book is a
bigali has a lot of ideas about these
things over there in he brings down
he loses some of his G some of his um
his Revelations that he gets sadik gets
he loses it because he's next to a rash
okay so and he he doesn't want they
don't want the rash to hear all the all
the sodot right they don't want to tell
the sadik everything because the rash is
going to EAS drop right so in order to
do that so he ends up losing some of
what he would normally be uh getting
okay this also brought the marah ETC So
based on this the that's the Mah the M
lived in the 00s he live the same time
approximately
as he brings he brings based on this he
gives a he says that therefore theim
those rich people that they spend a lot
of money and they give a lot of money in
order to be buried next to the sadik
they're going to they're not allowed to
do those things you're not allowed to do
that it's a for the you can't do it just
because you got money doesn't mean you
have you can't buy it takes hard work
okay that takes hard work buying money
you can get whatever money you want
that's easy that's not the hard part
okay but the the hard part is that and
therefore it doesn't uh it doesn't work
I don't remember exactly but I remember
once in
the I don't remember the whole story I
have to get a hold of the story in the
in Poland over there they have uh
there's a story about the malal the
magal is buried over there in Poland the
same burial next to the r next to the r
and they buried next to him somebody and
he was upset about it or something like
that they say they he came to him in a
dream or something cuz they put next to
him some simple person or whatever and
this was his name
Etc and they had to move him or they had
to move him or he was moved or something
like that and if you go there it took a
long time to find because you know it's
a 500y old B you can't see see things
too well over there but they looked
around and they found the name of that
guy but he was out of eight out of the
was here and you see I saw myself I was
there and he's buried over here that
person that he he kind of moved him in
the cover somehow and somehow he got
over here he was moved away from
the because of this that he didn't want
to be married next to
someone who was uh inhibiting on his
premises okay but it's a proper
according
to and therefore we try to be uh m in
this uh this thing
okay yeah based on this you should know
there Wasa the has about they they found
a dead body and they didn't know if he
was Jewish or not but a so so they said
maybe he's Jewish maybe he's not maybe
he's stop an Arab who has AIT they
didn't know what to do so based on this
he
says he said because it's a suff in the
from the Tor he said one should be now
when I read that I thought that meant be
and do what bury him where Jew in a
Jewish cemet I thought it me not a
Jewish he say be put him in a Jewish
cemet don't bury him amongst what about
everybody else though what if he's a go
so if he's a if he's a thing then you're
being make on everybody else though
that's that maybe they stuck him some
corner I'm not sure exactly what they
did but he said be and put him in a
Jewish cemeter that's that's what they
did with that body but you see it's a
big thing it's that's stom idea that's
the idea of being buried when where you
should be buried next to some people try
to be M to put a wall around them or
this people who can but that's that's it
another is there idea it's brought thei
it's also brought thei of being buried
inav now kav usually means the burial
place where you're ancestors were now it
doesn't mean da your for forefathers cuz
in the tour when he brings
us his family okay so the mad that it
could be anybody it doesn't have to be
dka your father it has to be your your
your your things of course erel always
pushes it off if you're buried here and
everybody else is buried over there in
the galut you don't have to worry about
it over here is good also okay even also
it's better okay but if you're if you're
anyways being buried if one is bearing
buried not you right if one is being
buried then it's to be buried and even
for that you're allowed to delay the
burial in order that he can go to his bu
second that the rash was one time asked
that I wanted to take him they wanted to
take a body to he he was buried over
here and they want him to be buried with
the rest of his family so he let him
actually put some type of um ointment or
some type of medicinal type of thing on
top of them in order to make the body
Decay faster Decay fast P her in order
that they can carry him because it was a
long trip back in the old time as 700
800 years ago quite a ways that they
have to go have to take him on the the
the horse and buggy and it's going to
take a while so instead they didn't want
him to smell on the way because
unfortunately man they didn't have
freezers or especially not transferable
freezers so they said okay so Decay his
body so it'll end up being more of thing
and he allowed to do it in order to be
buried by this is we're going to speak
about later by but I'm just trying to
show the importance of apparently being
buried with your family yes see I'm
still a little confused because you have
the that's hopefully
in reaches
the okay but now you have the ne the
neish is the
lower they're in two different places
yeah yeah yeah that's what we mentioned
a couple sh the guy you're split you
know I'm saying that's what happens his
that's why his body decomposes cuz he
has no more life the life Tak away that
once is gone then the body has no uh
Lifeline he has the he thei we mentioned
in the in the bones there's this NE
which is thei which is the spirit of the
bones that
the right that idea is still there the
spirit of the bones but it's not he's
he's not he's not yeah he's still not
there okay anyway so that's uh that's
what that's what uh that's what comes
out this importance of being buried
together with one's forefathers unless
of course like we said over here at
least
over here for all of us who are living
in Isel it's a different story I'll
mention on the end of this about being
buried with parents an interesting from
the he a Big R in in America his brother
is
the someone who asked him and this is a
subject that might come up we'll speak
about it in the resurrection of the Dead
we should get there okay also physically
and also knowledgeably okay right but uh
he was asked if woman is married to a
second husband now obviously the first
husband's not around anymore and the
question is they want to know where
should she be buried very important
question where should she be buried by
the first husband or the second husband
very difficult question at that now the
obvious direction is if the first
husband was a divorce he's finished
goodbye obviously she's going to be
buried with the second husband that's
not a question if she divorced the first
husband but the question was asked what
if she's an Alman what if her husband
was and now as a result of that she
doesn't know if she should be buried
with her first husband or her second
husband a lot of times of course we know
that they us have a even stronger
connection to the first husband than the
second whatever you can do about that so
the question is the question is
um uh what what should she do okay the
question was what should she do in such
a
case so so he basically says like this
very nice he says an
interesting um the same question by the
way was asked to the in which I'm not
going to speak about today I'm going to
keep you in suspense he was asking about
who are you going to be with your first
husband or your second husband you know
this is not fair right the second
husband says you know whatever makes he
makes a lot of differences there so I'm
going to leave it till we get there but
the same question so over here at least
the way he says this it makes a lot of
sense he says if she's an Al from her
first husband so the I the idea is it's
a complete when the husband dies there's
a complete nuk a complete disconnect
ction it has to be that there's a full
stop from your first husband what's the
biggest proof to that cuz otherwise she
can't get married again how is she
allowed to get married she can obviously
only get married because the first
husband is not around anymore there's no
zika there's no relationship there's no
keser anymore once he's nft her so
therefore he says she should be buried
with the second husband because that's a
presentent especially especially
especially it's for sure for sure if the
second husband is still alive I don't
think it'll be so comfortable the second
husband that she's sitting here being
buried with her first husband he's the
thing you're going to put one husband on
this side one husband that
side right not so not so nice so he
basically says she should be buried with
the second husband and that's the way
the world works you know look we do
that's that's how things work here
that's what he says but he says
interesting he says he wouldn't have
thought of he says but we see in the P
that when a woman dies she's still
called he brings a r from the p and
she's still called he still called a
even after she's okay aen is allowed to
be M for his wife she's still considered
his relative that he's allowed to be
Mame for his wife if she is because she
still called Sher she still has so
meaning she still has a little bit of a
zika a connection to him all right so
how is he allowed to get married again
big deal men can get married to more
than one woman okay at least I'm giving
to a share a bunch of men you don't take
that personally but I understand man we
know that a man can marry more than one
woman now we have now noways we have a z
and this we don't do these things
okay but we don't do it but at least we
uh know that it's possible so it's not a
steer a problem that she's still ke
still K has some attachment to his first
wife and still gets married again in
which case he says that he's that that
in that case he is permitted to be
married with his first wife but again
I'm not sure if he mentions it but if
the first wife is still alive it's not
so nice to be buried with the first wife
again it's not so nice butam he could be
if he if he wants to if he's a widower
and that's I'm talking about a WID his
first wife passed away and he marries
again he marries again and he said
didn't he can be married with the first
wife he could go with the first wife
because he still has I don't want to say
the word relationship I'm trying to a
good word a connection an affiliation
let's say you know like there's still a
the best word in Hebrew is like the
second wife might not be at all happy
she won't be happy so I said for sure if
the second wife is not alive anymore
then he's allowed to be buried with the
first wife and if she is still alive
it's not so uh yeah it's not so nice
right it's not appropriate so probably
it's better to do that but you can
really be bued with with either one no
they also have any complication if you
have children from the first marriage
and na the second wife has feelings the
children has feelings so they do make
difference he doesn't necessarily make
that difference a little
bit makes a big difference if all my kid
if one's kids if all of one's kids are
from the first wife which happens a lot
from the first from the first wife so
that's his continuation not his second
second wife he live 10 years in his last
10 years of his life or something so he
doubt he usually said that's what he
says that's why said I'm not going get
200% but he says over there will
probably be with his first wife he
actually says we be his first because
that was his life with with this woman
as opposed to the other way around so I
know stories of the other way around
that she had a first husband for a short
time unfortunately got in a car accident
he got married and uh yeah so it could
be the other way around that the Ben is
a lot of details like I
said we will speak about it this is the
direction for here okay there could be a
clash like what you said
first gap between one person s and so
the family is overriding because you
could have within a family you can have
these gaps so what are you going to even
the ex R true sometimes people want to
be married next to their family he's
right but sometimes unfortunately
everyone in this room with sikim who
knows what's going on with your family I
don't know so if that's true then you're
right you have to if I could say keep
away you have to be careful and in that
case you're right you don't necessarily
do that all right let's move on okay now
there's a third idea when we talk about
being buried which is an important which
is also brought down I'm
saying that it's brought down speaks
about
this for everyone to see that basically
a person should always be carried Shalom
you should only one should only be
buried in his own personal cover his own
handy Dandy private Kover don't borrow
anyone's cover it's not Kai okay what I
mean by borrow it means don't don't be
in a c make sure that you purchased it I
don't want to say m but usually it is KF
Mal it's a lot of money unfortunately
but um a person should make sure that it
is 100% yours and of course the biggest
is
in went out of his way and everybody
else he's leaving Sara Manu not buried
for so long just to bargain hagle in
this with this this jerk you know this
fun guy right going back and forth Just
finish come on let's go just bury him he
said you he said you can bury her in
already he said put her in and besides
the fact another question owned
all what's the problem here just do it
just put her in but the answer
is know you got to make sure that you
own it 100% no questions asked make sure
that there's
no no
um no uh no uh uh complainers what
complains complaints or whatever make
sure there's no no one who's going to
make sure they say no that's really mine
your K it's not allowed Etc so you
always have to make sure that you buy it
100% okay and that's why it's important
that you make sure you pay beforehand
it's aula which we all know it's a
famous suula to buy a c while a person
still
alive okay and it comes from the idea of
making sure that you own it uses a for
people who know Hebrew they think it's
humorous I guess he liked it he said
there's a m he says a Bel there's no Kim
is literally blood there's no K without
blood but damim also means money in gar
Lang so he says you can't have a k
without some type of monetary
compensation make sure that uh make sure
that you own it in order to do it
brought down the brisar was very M when
he bought his K someone reporting over
the brisar bought his K brisar everyone
know a big M whoever knows brisker he
was brisker he's the brisker and he was
very M when he bought he did every type
of Kenan he k
he made sure he did every type of K any
type of every type of way of acquisition
because he wanted to make sure that
there's no questions asked to make sure
that it's 100% 100% that he's doing um
it's he's doing the right thing and like
I said the he brings it's a he says his
words when a person has his so
it's it's a it's a in order to buy it
and therefore it's important to try to
be able to buy it now
the is is the head of the badat okay
he's the head of the badat and he brings
down a very interesting
thing as being a person who's in top of
Kash and many different things that
people always asking about he says that
in the in the star contracts especially
in har it was I don't think I don't know
if it is or was like that definitely was
like that I don't know if it still is
it's probably something I could easily
find out and that's the truth
but the star when they sold it when they
sell the person the cover when they sell
you a c they write on it I'm selling it
to you and you have no r at all to give
it over to anyone else if you in any way
want to give it over to someone else it
automatically reverts back to us it
automatically becomes ours now doesn't
like that no now why do they do that
because as we all know a Kev in har is
very very valuable it's worth a lot of
money that's a and they're not
interested in a guy buying a k and then
giving it to his old granny who wasab
right okay I'll give it to granny she
was a nice she was a nice lady even
though she didn't keep Shabbat and she
was a Russ okay okay not granny
grandfather right it doesn't make any
sense so they said in order to do that
they make a Taya condition in the
contract that you have no ruit to give
it over to someone else it has a red
light there does that mean anything I
was going the
microphone okay um I'm in the microphone
but okay okay anyway so that's uh that's
what it said but uh that's that's I just
it's just like the
microphone no cuz if the microphone's
off it won't record my voice so should I
turn off the microphone this is good
still going if this die if that die then
my voice won't go so I could turn this
off though that's I'm say that's all I'm
asking you need to unplug
this but the main time you're still okay
okay so just tell me when then
okay anyway so that's um that's that's
what he brings down so therefore he says
you should not write in the contract I
make a condition what you should says I
will give of my good will the K back if
if I don't take it for myself I will
give it back to the kadish my own good
will because I promise not to give it
over to someone else make some type of
promise
or but it's kind of like a pro a promise
which a person doesn't want to be over a
promise especially when he's dead right
so he doesn't want to do that so he kind
of is giving over the ma door but
there's no on again there's no lack in
the Kenyon it's not like there's a hole
in the Kenyon of it being given over to
him because he still has uh full opes
over the cover just he says don't worry
I'll make sure to give back I won't give
it to some other relative the first way
it's this saying the sh weather it's
actually being acquired right it wasn't
a full acquirement they have these
conditions on sale exactly that's what
he's upset about right that's exactly
what he's said about and the main thing
is that we know it has to be a yours and
be the seula for it to be yours SCH
yours is that you have to own it right
now I need to own a c right now I need
to own it so if I need to own it right
now St financially it's could I to buy
it early I you know my inlaw is working
theisha for those know there something
called pre-s right pre pre that you buy
it before and it's much much much uh
cheaper it's incredible difference cuz
especially I don't know when you plan on
buying if you're buying in then it's
crazy the difference in prices there
literally I mean 10 15 20 years ago
haras was $1,000 now it's 15 16 17,000
for a cover and it's the size of this
this paper basically the cover it's like
they measure the person's body to make
sure exactly how much you need the
person needs in order to be very inside
of there they're very meticulous it's
very it's a little bit crazy how here
they give it for free the uh say again
yeah over here you get it for free keev
right yeah I wasn't here to advertise
all the
things if you live in be you get for
free that's right you're one plus one
right that's the the rule here an has a
responsibility the thing right that's
the thing so that's officially yours you
get it for free but you own it because
it's officially given to you and nobody
else has it okay you have to make sure
that it's
yours yeah so you lose the seula that's
the truth you do lose the seula which is
you know so not so good you prefer the
seula I remember when I was like wow
these prices are going up maybe I should
get a ke way I don't want to get a ke
one
on there's something you want to buy
fast so you don't want to buy in in the
UK you belong to
AA buy you don't have a specific plot
you just you are just buried wherever
they decide yeah
unless okay that is you again you lose
aula but it's still yours it's not no
one can have any
question but it's also
dangerous place or something like that
you're allowed to say that or you're not
allow so the danger in that is maybe
they're going to put you next to someone
not good though on a lower level like I
said everyone in this room are what
going to put you in a room next to some
English
person that's dangerous it's very
dangerous that's why some people will
pay special and avoid the it's it's
important it's not all that expensive
it's about
5,000 and that that pay for it
really okay sometimes it's worth it to
pay ahead and a you get the aula and B
you make sure you know you're buried
next to because otherwise you're in
problems yeah okay anyways so that's uh
we'll leave it for the that
thing yeah okay it's good okay great one
last uh one last Chua based on this
thing that I was just talking about on
this idea this concept is also was asked
about a question I saw this question a
few plac it's brought the in your is a
similar question that what happened was
a woman's husband was Nar he was buried
in place X and she has a plot next to
him Place y right next door to him she
has a place right next to him but what
happened is you know they went for you
know three four five years ago her
husband died they went for the yite four
or five six years whatever it was they
went for the or P tell she sees in the
place that she's supposed to be buried H
someone else is buried there huh that's
interesting excuse me one second I'm I'm
I'm I'm still okay what's going on what
happened they didn't know what's going
on they saw another man was buried was a
man at least but another man was buried
next to her husband and she was a little
bit ticked off cuz the other side was
already taken and here we have some guy
who was there so she went to complain to
the authorities to
theisha about uh about what's going on
and they said oops uh you know it's all
in day's work you know the main mistake
they didn't realize they miss they Mis
plotted the land or whatever it was so a
letter was sent to to ask him what do we
do what do we do it's not so simple so
he basically says like this based on the
we just said
a a place that you don't own especially
if it's a stolen plate now it's not his
fault I understand the guy was dead I
understand was say he's in a stolen
piece of property it's not his is not
good for him it's not very B it's not
healthy for him and it's a k for which
is not good so therefore he
said you're allowed to be met you're
allowed to take him out and move him to
a different Kev you are allowed to do it
okay that you are allowed to let just
finish to the end and tell me who pays
for that that's a good question who's
going
to answer but that's right that he says
that you are allowed to do that but he
does
say however according to of the law it
would be very for her to be and give
over the K to him for two reasons first
of all it will be a to the Mish I I
don't know it depends on the Mish guess
he says you
know is embarrassing and the whole
family is a little bit embarrassed to
move the C and this and to to exume
bones is not not so exciting some people
care some people don't so he said that
would be one reason for her to be M to
be a s and and that's first of all and
second of all the is which we're not
going to get into this idea I think
we'll make it in our time period but
there's idea when you're when you exume
a person's bones it's very very bitty
ofid we might never do that but what
happens is it's moreare the din on him
again he has to go through the din again
even though he's sitting relaxed up in
ganaden it's been 6 years everything's
okay he went he already finished with
the hard part of the you know the hard
part of death as they say he's already
sitting and and relaxing over there in
Paradise right still when a person's
body is what's going on here the Nish
starts what's going on cuz the Nish
starts coming back and back and forth to
the to the body and there starts
becoming a reenactment to the
