good evening
everybody we're going to talk about
parara according to the
clear and on the front page which we all
have in front of
us he I just want I want you to know
when I when I prepare this year when I
learn the clear I look at it really as
poetry I wasn't really into poetry I
wasn't really into
literature but you can delve into it and
each word is like a a sweet it's like a
really sweet dessert or a really good
piece of steak and you're just chewing
it and you're enjoying every word so I'm
going to try to go a little bit slower
than I have in the past so we can really
I I shouldn't be the only one enjoying
this I want you guys to enjoy what I
enjoy so the verse says this is chapter
18 I'm sorry chapter 23 in Genesis verse
1 I'll read it in English then in Hebrew
Sarah's lifetime was 100 years and 20
years and 7 years the years of Sarah's
life now what's awkward about this verse
now I could read it in Hebrew and I'm
not so sure that you'll pick up on it
but I think you probably will just as
well
and it was the life of SAR May 100
Year sh 20
year and seven
years the years of the life of
Sara any takers to attack this verse to
just feel that there's something
screaming attit
you why is it broken up like that okay
why is it broken up like that meaning
100 years 20 years s years so B you
would tell me SAR lived 127 years you
wouldn't stop in the middle of each
number and say 100
and right and also take notice it does
say years where only by the seven in
Hebrew that's how actually it works by
the higher numbers like you want to deal
with SH with shekels and schim so if you
have a 100 shekel it's me shek but it's
five shekele it's five shekels so the
higher number is singular and the lower
number the you know the under 10 is
singular so that's one of the things he
going to point out and another thing
he's going to point out he's going to
talk about these issues both of them
he's going to begin immediately by
discussing Abraham's narrative which
does not mention actually his actually
mentions a few words that SARS does not
okay so you might not have picked up on
that but we'll start with that so here
we
go okay that's what he says but
Abraham if you turn to um
257 in
Genesis it says about
Abraham so it's almost the same words
right which Abraham lived right these
are the years that Abraham lived
which he lived it's like what does that
what does that mean which he lived it's
like what do you need to say which first
of all it doesn't say it by her which
she lived so again sar's lifetime was
100 year and 20 year and seven year the
years of sar's life but by Abraham it
says and these were the years of
Abraham's life we know he lived
175 which he lived like that were
important for the Jewish people are
counted differently than those that were
not important you you% right we may come
to explain that a little bit broader but
we're talking about Sarah we're talking
about comparing Sarah's life with
Abraham's life and to me they're both as
important so by Abraham it says
a and by SAR does not say those words so
we're saying about Abraham which in
which he lived but those words are
missing by sar's
narrative so here we go vosi
vomar you see by Abraham's narrative it
added The Words which he
lived because he was really
alive he was a man of many actions he
was just running around doing Mitzvah
and
and helping as many people as you
possibly can with the knowledge of
Hashem all the days of his life at what
age did Abraham come to recognize Hashem
when he was three
okay
Shir Boro as it says in the gamor
nadarim on 32A that Abraham was 3 years
old when he came to
recognize his maker the creator of the
universe now just give you a hint
there's a commentators that
explain how do we know that I mean other
than the oral Torah it's actually
written in the Torah so if you turn do I
have the verse here actually I don't I
don't have it in front of me sorry but
basically it says um because y because
Abraham listened to my voice AEV right
AEV is a gatri of
172 so
because that's how it's translated a
because he listened to my voice take it
as 172 he listened to my voice for 172
years he listened to my voice he died at
175 that means 3 years he didn't listen
to his voice it was 17 two years that he
listened to my voice so we this is a
support for the ear tradition that
Abraham came to recognize and know God
when he was 3 years old
okay well this is very interesting we're
talking about
Ishmael ish meaning ishma did not
recognize God early on we do know that
Ishmael did chuva he repented later on
right Sara felt understood had a vision
whatever it was This Woman's into it
more than just women's intuitions Rashi
explains it was through prophecy this
child cannot be around the the future
little boy Isaac Yak he'll be a bad
influence and he was you know he would
have been and he went off the D as we
say he went off for to a Tarra a
negative cultural experience okay he was
not a good influence he would not have
been a good influence on
yitzak but in the end yitzak himself
actually brought Hagar back and Y and um
yesma and as we'll see later on Kor
that's who she became shua it's the same
why he remarried Hagar under the name
ofor we hopefully we'll get to it
tonight very very interesting how we
know that so now how do we know about it
says
so did chv at the end of his
days we're going to get to in a second
but it does not mention we're focusing
once again by Sara's life it doesn't say
at the end of her life which she lived
by Abraham he really lived life for some
reason SAR did not live life like
Abraham that got that mention special
mention why he me he he he he this last
line I'm going to Loosely
translate a woman experiences a lot of
pain through her life either through uh
giving birth perhaps even through the
pregnancy the giving birth and I'll even
say through child
rearing and she's always in need of
protection from her by her
husband therefore a comparison with men
and women at least here in sar's
instance and probably true by all women
that it's not the same you don't feel
the same
um type of life and really living due to
these
circumstances okay now what I did do and
I I and I I actually have all the
details on the back of this sheet
interestingly enough I'm just I don't
remember if he brings it down so I'm
going to bring it down I'm going to
explain it what did we see we asked when
we said the verse what do we see we see
these numbers broken down it started off
with the high numbers
and then to the low
numbers who
else as Helen can I call you Helen you
mentioned well you know God speaks a
certain way about really good people and
maybe not so elegantly or nicely about
who those who are not so special in his
eyes so in terms of these numbers and I
had the verses here for you can check my
own you know math and my own
investigation
um it's it goes like
this actually you know what he he
actually goes into detail about this I'm
wondering if I should wait you know I'll
tell you now and we get to it you'll
already be in the know
so so it's like
this I'm just looking for my notes over
here I know he's going to talk about it
but anyway so it's like this there are C
certain people you know what I'm going
to wait cuz he's going to go into detail
about it and I don't want to ruin it
okay y there are some that
say that Abraham did not live the entire
life that was originally allotted to him
right God maybe in his mind whatever we
don't know but God allotted to him 180
years and Aram died at 175
years and how do we know
this so he starts by
saying there was missing from his life
five
years so he wouldn't see his great
grandchild go out in a in an evil way
um first of all his own son abah's own
son yit you know how long he lived till
180 so usually and the way it had been
up until this time people were living a
long time I mean Abraham lived 930 years
you know uh Noah lived way over 600 so
on and on people were living shorter and
shorter amounts but not that the Next
Generation lived longer than you yet in
this case we can see clearly y died 180
Abraham did died
175 they could have died you know at
least 180 both so this is one of the
hints from kazal we already know from
kazal they tell us that he this story
but you can see it in the math itself
that gak lived five years longer than
his own
father
the that's why it says now we're going
back to the reason that it says a that
Abraham lived lived like a really full
life that he actually lived these these
these
lives cu the years that he did live he
was alive M which
infers that there were other years or
other days that may maybe don't fit in
this category which he wouldn't have
lived that would have been fitting for
him in a very natural away but we'll say
Hashem took him out early so that he
would not witness his own grandchild
going off the dark that would be very
painful for Abraham so let me just read
those words again
sh that would have been natural for him
to have lived but he did not live in
them
why God cut his life short by those five
years as we have mentioned all right
here we're going to get into that point
that I mentioned earlier about the
years from what we already mentioned oh
please thank you that the higher number
missar is sh sh the 100 to 20 it uses
the language Shana you would translate
as 100 year
singular
fine and what thank you and when it came
to the smaller number or smaller numbers
in in this case it's number seven what
word is used
shim right it's
counterintuitive so why why is that why
is it and and and remember we're going
to talk about the order as well you
started off with 100 then you started
then 20 and then at the end is seven and
that's
plural because righteous people people
who live their lives as best as they
could for a majority of their
life even though their whole life was
very full and
complete
nevertheless nevertheless you know what
happens those later years they acquire
much wisdom right I think they have an
expression about you know the kids in
college and you know these guys when
you're young you're very liberal but as
you grow up you get to become a little
bit more conservative let's say wise
okay I hope that wasn't too
political why why do they become more
complete in their later later
years they're as they're getting closer
to the Gates of
death right
and they're closer to the gates of death
than they were in their earlier
years ah see now he brings two sides to
the
story he brings this
from that from the aspect that the
people who are already quite wise
they're studying to their whole life
when they get older God gives them extra
wisdom so I brought down in that gamor
well this not all of it is from the gor
some of it's from outside the gor the
word zaken zaken means an old person so
what does it mean when it's like an
acronym
almost you say Zak it's because he was K
he acquired wisdom the old person has
through their life if you get ever get
on a bus I'm not sure if if it's only
the front seat there may be other seats
throughout the bus it says in Hebrew you
must stand up for an old person and
that's the Hala in the Torah for someone
who's over 70 someone who has gray hair
you must stand up for them even if
they're not in your opinion wise they
may not be sitting and studying Torah
all day they might not be a professor in
University you're still obligated to
stand up for an older
person uh the other thing that the the
Mahal explains that what happens in old
age we don't know cuz we're all young
but we're getting there some of us that
the body begins to weaken and it's
almost like as if you're talking about
your body and your soul have a certain
amount of energy and the the weaker your
body gets the more let's say clear or
you know your your soul your your
spiritual self kind of is not just
Awakening but can express itself more
because you don't have the physical body
body that's holding it down through
maybe whether's
urges I mean we all have needs I mean
when you get older also you have some
physical needs and he's going to explain
what I just said in the opposite
direction but I like this pad very
much H the gamor basically says that
hedonistic people the older they get
their minds soften whereas Torah
Scholars the older they get their minds
sharpen okay and that's I said I
mentioned that's brought down in the in
Kim that would be mishna
3 I'm sorry chapter 3 mishna 6 and then
there's another
aspect that as time goes on they're
constantly moving forward and coming
closer towards the Eternal Light
Al because a little bit of a Twist
therefore all of those earlier years are
considered as if they're one year in
value or in relationship to the later
years right I mean I can imagine I don't
know I'm just throwing this out like if
someone was working their whole life and
they never really got to enjoy their
pension or their
grandchildren their own children they
might not even even have gotten a chance
to enjoy but somehow when it comes to a
pensioner it's a whole new life just
opened up so maybe here too but we're
talking about spiritual matters in the
earlier years maybe you were not really
involved in spiritual things so that was
like lots of hardships but come and
where it's like a lot I'm sorry it's
like you know when you have you put all
together it was like nothing but what's
really coming up that's valuable so the
valuable thing you have lots of so
that's why the later years are plural
because there's a lot going on in your
life as opposed to what was happening
earlier
so just continue the sentence because
it's a very long
sentence so too since there's so much
acquisition of completion that's going
on in the later years that's why it's
plural as if those seven years were
years a lot compared to the 100 or the
20 which was compared to one like you
know to push to the side in
value then he he comes back to this idea
that we're talking about
yes uh I wanted to focus on that but
it's talking about all the AOS well
remember Helen mentioned God speaks
differently about the people that he
really cherishes so he
says and this language that we just said
of the higher numbers going down to the
lower numbers and remember the high
numbers are singular and the lower
numbers are plural but it's still the
same um order he says you find also by
Abraham and by Yak so he mentions where
Abraham we saw it's
257 by Yak it's
3528 and also by Ishmael you can find in
2517 remember we're saying he did Tru at
the end of his life so if he did TR it
towards the end of his life that means
the end was much more valuable than the
beginning just like any wise person so
he got wise at the end he just he wasn't
just a wise guy all his life and he
says the actual example of using ishma
is the best example out of everything he
just
gave because we know that he the TRU at
the end of his days so I did a little
investigation I'll go through those
numbers with you so on the positive side
the good side meaning the side that they
did they were wise they did truth atend
their end at the end of their lives I
have a list I can tell you the numbers
you know what
verses so then I have on the other side
the list of people who are not in that
order and it's pretty consistent so you
have on the on the on the side that
we're talking about Sara the numbers are
high in the beginning and they go down
so that's Abraham everything's in bra
braet in Genesis it's Adam in verse 55
Noah chapter 9 verse 29 Sarah in our
verse here Abraham we already mentioned
Ishmael we already mentioned yit and
ysep I only did until you know Genesis
but here you have until ysep and that's
on the the side of like SAR then you
have other people who live who recorded
in the Torah and their numbers are
flipped they start with the small
numbers and go up and who do you have
it's most of these are all in chapter 5
because Seth en
Kenan and and then finally you have in
chapter 11: 32 ter Abraham's father all
in the opposite
direction
okay very interesting so Ishmael is
listed with all those righteous people
okay so we're going to
continue now he's going to focus a
little bit more on
is as we just okay I'm sorry now he's
actually going to flip it he's going to
flip it and we're going to talk about
the opposite meaning in the old age it's
not so valuable so let's we don't have
to focus on that but we have to know
both
sides you got to realize I mean I know
my wife works with older people
sometimes life it can be very difficult
not for her but for the person
themselves as it says in coel if you
look at Ecclesiastes 12
verse1 it
says so remember I'll read the whole
verse you didn't quote the whole
verse so remember your creator in the
days of your youth before the days that
of evil come as those years arrive when
you say I have no pleasure in them so it
sounds like it gets harder and harder
and those years are opposite of what we
just spoke about but as we concluded
already the first shot is very
consistent with what we have in
tanak all right now we're going to talk
a little bit oh no I didn't finish
sorry that that's why according to this
opinion that the latter years are in
plural larger uh you know say even
though it's seven we say sh
the because there's a lot of pain you
know you get up in the morning I think
this another another joke you know got
as we get older there's more and more
pains and uh but you know what when you
wake up in your pains you know that
you're alive so it's not so bad after
all
but the earlier years were you know the
when you were young and you were really
vibrant and you were running around the
place um so those years are
singular because of the the great love
you had for your youth okay so that's
meaning that's an alternative
explanation but as we said the first
explanation is really nice okay so now
the second
verse we're going to talk about the name
of
heon cured
arba so what does the puz
say cured arba Ison SAR died let me just
open the
verse SAR died in kired arba which is
Kon in the land of Canan and Abraham
came to eulogize Sarah and bewail her so
we're going to discuss the next verse
for a
while okay s in I didn't read the Hebrew
to eulogize lar for
SAR I don't know if your text has a
small cuff yes okay so we're going to
discuss that as
well now there's other names for this
location is a very holy
place has any has everybody been to Kon
okay we have to make a field trip
all right okay let's there are other
names we're going to mention them right
away so it's brought down in the y in
the med it's quoted
saying this place has four
names the and these are the names
es
mamre K ARA andon now remember these
names we're going to use some parallel
teaching
and we're going to plug them in some
really interesting teachings that I hope
you take with
you this is the speaking I am going to
give a very good reason and
understanding about these four
names keep in mind this place was very
special and
designated for
burial Alain therefore ncra baramos ah
he's just telling us he's really going
to get into these four names and what
they have to do not only with death but
also with life commotion Mr now I ski
something I'm going to go
he's actually connecting these four
names they reflect there are four ways
that death can be found okay in other
words we're it it don't think of this as
being very morbid I know it sounds like
we're going to head down into the
rabbit's hole and it's going to be
morbid but it's really
lifechanging you really think about it
there's going to be four listings four
different types of death the first type
of death is the type of death that a man
dies for his own sin a man
sins if he didn't sin at all could be
them might be there's a concept that
it's only sin that causes death but in
the meantime we're not going to even go
there we're going to start off by this
do you have a man who dies for his own
sin he he could die why as it says in
the PK in um bamidbar in numbers
273 these are the daughters of
chaad their father died in the desert
okay he was one of those not involved
with korak and they actually say our
father died on his own he had nothing to
do with the the um the um group the
congregation of K that rebelled he
picked up the sticks in the desert and
he was to be stoned so he died on his
for his own sin so the verse
says they said to uh Moses we don't
deserve not to have a portion in the
land just cuz he's not here and he
wasn't such a bad guy like he didn't
Rebel he didn't make a major Rebellion
like korak he died because of his own
sin so there is such a concept right
like Boer to if we think that a person
can die for his own sin so what are the
other three
possibilities right any any
guesses carrying the sins of the father
to the fourth generation okay could be
could be I mean we're
hoping through violence
someone delivering a some kind of mortal
blow um we're talking about reasons not
how oh just die his own you know live
out his full
life what are you saying that someone
not to their hate but but fulfill lives
out their Destiny their whole
okay dies of natural causes natural
causes yeah is going to be hopefully the
third one okay ready this is like a real
a real eye opener
people die on account of other people's
sin it's kind of what Helen was saying
the the the gamor over there in chabas
32b mentions that a wife might die on
account of her husband's Oaths where
children might die on accounts of the
Oaths of their parents or the lack of
MOT or the or the lack of tittis or be
Torah not learning Torah
causes hatred within the home in the
parents
domain robbery uh or delaying or
preventing uh or perversion of Judge
judgment if the father was a judge or
holding back so a child may suffer but
here the concept is just understand
there is Misa on account of others there
is death that could be attributed to
other people and we saw and as it said
one second just like we saw there and
then there's another concept along with
that that a righteous person can
actually die on account of a generation
for example Ron in the same gor shabas
33 bet says theim are punished for the
sins of their generation
okay okay so that's the second site you
have one number one for your own sins
number two on account of others people's
sins
third this is more like what B was
talking about the the natural causes but
they're they're righteous they're
righteous from on account of right from
the aspect this death is is a very
natural death and there's just a
separation for the from the four
elements it's time for the soul to go
back to its maker and the body which is
made of the four elements go back to the
Earth but there's a separation of the
soul from the body and that's we'll call
that natural he but that mean know the
person is not a sinner and he's not
dying on account of anybody else's
sin just natural death
he says something fantastic he says that
anything that is combined it's eventual
end will be to separate that's like
anything that comes together is
eventually going to
separate the fourth category
is it sounds also moreid but it's not
it's called the kiss and we'll call it
the kiss of death but obviously cuz
we're talking about me
that comes through a
kiss this is a kind of death for those
those who are totally righteous through
and they get it through this
kiss in other words it's just like
pulling a hair out of a glass of milk
it's that simple a kiss but what's
unique about a kiss two people come
together and the lips touch so now we
get to the
first hint of what we're going to start
matching up these four names so he
says when you have the two people coming
together for a kiss here in our case
Hashem and the and the the person
passing on through the
kiss
means well we know that it's related to
the wordon it means to come together in
unity to cling to to unite to be bound
so this is the the kiss is binding up
the V is Cle cleaving to Hashem in the
most amazing
way and its concept
is just like it would go up in his own
mind and his own
soul that his goal was to cling to
really cleave a o through his most
spiritual active
intellect so once he goes up he doesn't
come
down because what remains is his soul
will be connected up there we're talking
about somebody must have gotten to the
point in a in the deepest meditation
deepest clinging to Hashem with his soul
and it goes up and it's
it's just with God and it doesn't want
to leave it's having an
intimate um moment that just will not
it'll just last forever and therefore
what happens is the soul does not return
okay now we have the four different
types of death types meaning categories
someone dies on their own someone dies
on account of others someone dies will
say of natural causes but that means
they're not a sinner and the fourth
category is so lofty we'll call it the
kiss so he
says and parallel to these four types of
death are these four
names that they're going after they're
following in the the concept of the four
types of death so what's mam any what
does mam mean to you if you hear that
word we're going to say
that's that's going to be parallel to
the person who dies for his own sin why
what does m mean M it's the verse in
Deuteronomy
96 97 sorry
M the part of the verse says you've been
Rebels the word is like a a Zak mamre
someone who sits on the Sanhedrin
someone who sits on the Baston he's in
the minority and he follows his own
opinion that's not as drastic but what
he ends up doing he starts teaching he
starts preaching he starts getting
people to follow him he's outright going
against the court that is a called Zak
mamre and he is to be eliminated from
the midst so the word m means Rebel so
when someone sins
he's going to die because his own sin
cuz he's a sinner he's a he's rebelling
against Hashem so he's in the category
of a m
m and he says M as I mentioned earlier
there's a concept of this rebellious
Elder okay
now this is parallel to where someone
dies on account of someone else okay a
death occurred because of someone else's
sinu the word shim is here is bed the
person is missing someone else someone
else dies on account of
him that when someone is K when someone
is uh burying their own children they're
called
bered just like it says in
verse 27 verse CH 27:
45 um Rachel sorry Rebecca Rifka is
having a little conversation a small
conversation with
Yakov and she is sending him off to you
know the North she
says why should I bered of both of you
in one
day okay this is what Rebecca tells
yakob as he was fleeing from Asam
it's this this guy he's one particular
guy sins he's a sin right there's a sin
involved and he's very bitter and what
is he what remains he remains bereaved
and
alone because
of this sin that someone else had died
someone dies on account of his
sin that's why the place is also
called is regarding this bement which
someone has cut off in the world on
account of this sin okay what's the
other name kir ARA now we're at the
third name kir Ara
we talked about the natural death is
releasing the soul from the four
elements the body makes up you know
whatever they are what are they Earth
Wind and Fire and Water okay you we got
four that's what the body's made up of a
lot of wind some people have more wind
than others okay so there you have the
four elements
so a man is a small the word Katan a
small village a small town that's
referring to his body there's a verse
that talks about that many inhabitants
okay that but the ear Katan is referring
to the body like a small world a small
village now we're
Aton okay
Kon because of the this ultimate
unification I like that unification with
Hashem that you just are not going to
let go and therefore the the Nish does
not return to the body
finish a kiss of
death so the sins of others just can we
go over that is that like like for
instance
murder when someone is murdered what
does that
meaning it could be look there's a gor
goes through it right there could be an
accidental murder could be a real murder
it could be the person's deserving of
murder it could be the person is aik and
is not deserving of murder he's dying on
someone else's account I'm thinking of
terrorism right now so where is
that he said I think when he says about
dying for others he does mention two
things one is let me just go back where
he says
it when he talked about dying for others
you're not dying for this sins of others
you he says two things it could be one
particular person who's let's say a
close family member as that's the gamor
usually gives over there but also it
says a person could die and
absorb what's really supposed to happen
to everyone else yeah onto him so that's
we don't know we we cannot judge we
don't know God knows this person was a
sadic or he was really deserving our
eyes are shielded we cannot judge only
God judges so we see this person oh he
died in a car crash and his head got cut
off so we could say oh well you know the
gor gives example this guy was guilty of
something where he should have gotten
beheaded but there weren't any Witnesses
so God took care of it right that could
be but who are we to judge or he was a
sadic who absorbed the sin of the
generation so we should never make that
judgment unless we're prophets and God
revealed to us which is not usually not
the case so does he ever get the reward
in another lifetime the P The sadic Who
absorbed the the sin absolutely even
more so even more so even more so I
I okay now we're going to talk
about what does our verse say read our
verse Sarah right Sarah died
in Kirara which is Kon we just listed
four names but in our verse where she
died two names are listed which two
names kir arba which we said is related
to the Natural death the the the soul
leaves behind sheds the um body and
Theon is let's say that one is let's say
passive and one's a little bit more
active in running toward words and
clinging to Hashem and those are the two
names of the city in which he died but
we're going to use them as adjectives to
describe her death so the death of this
righteous woman Sarah our mother was not
from the aspect of the first two which
we mentioned which relate to sin on some
level whether it was the sin of the
person or the sin of someone else no
nothing about her death involved sin
rather her death resulted as from the
other two types of death which is
without sin and a running forth that's
why it says
with that's why she died in a place
called AR which
is beautiful
and the verse does not mention anything
but these two names
why because her death was a result of
those two
aspects through the shedding of the
Earthly or physical four
elements and through this kiss I'm again
Kiss of Death sounds really bad so get
the the kiss that really unified her
with
Hashem as we have
mentioned okay what time is it we I'd
like to go on because there's some
really good stuff
here okay so then it says Abraham came
to this is the same verse this just the
end of that verse that Abraham had come
to
Lis came to eulogize her does doesn't
say her it says her
name he came to eulogize for Sarah and
to cry for
her now we already so what's the first
thing that It's shouting at it's
screaming it's saying something is
really awkward in this verse and what is
it like we had in the previous we saw
after we learned it we saw okay I can
see that now right everyone sees what we
talked about before we're going to do
the same thing with this verse as soon
as we point it out you're going to say
ah I I can't believe I missed that so
the word Sara is hickes
B it shouldn't right shouldn't have said
that he came to eulogize and cry for her
for Sarah it doesn't it says he came to
eulogize for Sarah and
cry so he says it should have put why
does sar in the middle there why is it
break why is there a break here between
the two actions that Abraham is
doing actually not only that everything
is extra so not only is it in the wrong
not only is it like her name is in the
middle we don't even we don't even need
her name why could have just said to
eulogize her with like
the the live to eulogize and to cry
understood her in in the word her name
is not even necessary first of all if
you read right from the first the the
two verses her name already appears
three times even without
this sar's lifetime was 100 years 20
years 7 years the life was Sarah's life
Sarah died so that's already the third
time so why at the end of the verse that
he came to H eulogize and cry for her we
were we would already know so the the
word Sor here is like really like extra
so not only is it like sticking in
between these two ad you know these two
actions but you don't even need it at
all so why is it
there not only that wherever you find in
the Torah what always happens you always
have crying for I'm sorry you always
have crying before the eulogy right you
have even in our own morning period it's
7-Day morning period that's for the
eulogies but it's you get over the
crying in the first few days the the
crying is for the the most intense part
of feeling the loss and it slowly um
dissipates so here he says every place
all over the Torah you always find First
The Cry then the eulogy but in our verse
what comes first the eulogy and then the
crying he says
but here it's a switch in the
concept cut that deals with the laws of
mourning and we know that the first
three days are for crying that's the
human response the immediate you know
pain is felt and as time goes on it's
not forgotten about but eventually after
a year most of the pain has been
released and
forgotten so he says veneer it
seems whenever we're dealing with
someone who
dies that you're always going as time
goes on I think they say time heals all
wounds okay but as time goes on the pain
is less that's what he says the the
morning period goes and continuously
diminishes you're talking about first
intense three days then you have this
the whole first seven days then you have
a 30-day period and the prohibitions or
the types the the customs in morning um
become alleviated they become easier
become lighter until the 11th or 12th
month dependent apparent or not you
become a pro then you be okay ready for
the
next
okay because through the increase of
days meaning as time goes on everything
is
forgotten therefore however however for
this particular righteous woman
everything was the
opposite sh that every day that passed
by Abraham felt the lack more and more
every day that he was not with his
wife she she was buried in the ground it
just pained him that's love
right from the aspect of the lack of her
Torah and her great kind acts and all
the mitzvas she did they were lost to
that generation
Al that's why our verse switches and
puts the H first the hesit first the
eulogy and then the Beck because for him
the order was from I'm not going to say
light to harsher but that's the concept
that every day that went on he just felt
the lack the amount of love and
gratitude and connection he had to her
just grew on him as the days went
on furthermore kazal saying
hedin that anyone whose first wife
dies it's as if the temple the actual
Temple has been had been destroyed in
his
lifetime therefore he came first to
eulogize SAR on her
account but he had not yet he wasn't
crying for
her he knew she went to a great place
she went to
heaven to a very dear Priceless and
honorable
place that she went to a great place
much better than this dark um foggy
Earth and then he started crying on the
account as we said it was kilu the Bas
mikdash was destroyed then he really
felt the Bas mikdash was destroyed in
his own
lifetime says when the Bas of M was
destroyed the Angels themselves went
into wailing and crying so too here as
well K there's a p in in yahu Jeremiah
13:17 if you want to write that down so
just part of the PK says my eye will
drop with tears but I wrote the whole
verse here and if you do not heed this
my soul will cry in its utmost Chambers
we're talking about Hashem we talk about
hasem talking about the Mal angels as
well talking about the gor explains Mal
Angels were also crying because of your
hotess and if tears will flow freely my
eye will drip tears for the flock of
Hashem will have been captured that's
referring to the Exile obviously we're
talking about the destruction of basa
mikdash and everything that follows is a
very
painful very painful for Hashem so we're
talking about the loss of a wife the
first wife is extremely painful for the
man it's as if the the Bas mikdash was
destroyed
Al Lara that's why there's a break
by putting the word SAR there right we
said
to eulogize for SAR and to
cry because that crying was as if he
imagined and you know lived through it
as if the B mikdash was destroyed in his
life ready for the small
cuff remember what is the B
mos in the MOs it says that it was 100
high is that's why the cuff it's one
letter that we say is 20 but if you
spell it out it's cuf p cuf p is 20 and
80 so cuf p is really the cuff is and
it's not just a regular it's CU Katan
it's
small even though comes to the gatria of
100 it's Roar is coming to
say I have to read
this that diminished it became small
that 100 and he became very small
through his destruction so there's a
small cuff representing this concept of
the wife who passes on to the man it's
as if his own not his own the temple
was
destroyed any
questions last
sentence ah okay
zakar remember this is the clear so he
likes to end off this idea of this is a
very nice vort this is a really nice
explanation here he says this was a good
hint a nice precious hint okay any other
questions all right have a good Shas
everybody
