Good evening my good evening to everybody on Torah anytime. Thank you so much for being made fitz and everywhere in the world everywhere any time. Tonight's zer is generously sponsored by men sag in honor of his father's yard site. It's also my parents and Ben Karen Civia Mayor Ben Miriam Eloer Ben And for a 2 and 1/2year-old boy who's in the a hospital in Wisconsin Yeshua Shamas who needs a shaman this of the should be should give him. Okay. This week page pay letter daled. Page payhe letter daled. I was asked when I was sitting Shiva that when I speak Yiddish it should not be it should be. So >> somebody said right so if you I don't know now you know I used to give their in Hebrew English and yiddish I have to give two types of yiddish also >> iso shabis peric al olive ta de elo Imagine if the zoo that means he was a half means he was nif at the age of 35 years old. Would mean to say chorus fillain the woman his wife. You see it's a little bit cut off over here. Let me read for you the GRA, the original Gimra. She took this almon. She went to Schulz. She came 184 she 24th olive 10th B 10th gimmel 10th olive 10th hay across the street with the if you keep you do mitzvah My husband says the top of the page. My husband Why was he why? Why was he nifter at such a young 35 years old? How could I lose a husband? What happened to No one answered. They couldn't answer her. Pass says, this is talking came to visit her. Listen to what it says about the stature of such a woman. She was she had a visit from Eli. We all have visits from Elo. He comes on. The fact that we don't see him is not his fault. >> You know the famous story with the with the and Schwab, >> right? There's a who lived here in my name wasab Morai Schwab lived here in old man. You knew him. >> My father's rabbi. >> Is your father's rabbi? I was in to meet him. He was married when I was in >> I'm sorry Maple right next to Rabbi Morai Schwab and the Panovich were teenagers. They were Bak 19 20 years old. They were they were Brim. They were in Raden standing online to see the while they're online and an older Jew walks in cuts the line goes in the spends a little bit of time with him. According to the story I heard it from about 20 minutes, 15 minutes. Then is they see him walk out with this elder and he escorts him out till outside and he comes back afterwards. on his way in the punovich and so goes the story asked the who was that holy looking Jew very to which the said you saw him that was when they went out after they met the to the gas they asked people did you see walking like about a half an hour 40 minutes ago. They said, "Yeah, who was he walking with?" The people said, "Nobody. He was walking by himself." So to see Eli is a madrega. This young lady in our gim was to came to visit her. The she was talking about the whole story. her husband. She told him about how she took his into Bish. How come my husband who was such a big sadic died at the age of 35 years old? And said, "My daughter, when you were aid, what was the what was it like by you in the house? finger. He didn't touch me. And when you were doing the the seven of those says, the that kazal said that every husband and wife should keep it's not a class tonight but the remembers those he didn't keep he didn't have to cuz he was such a gibber He was so he could be next to me in the android. is at fault. You have to have ali's perspective. He paid no attention. He was upon him to therap. When a woman is a need, you can't come even close. And therefore, he know what that means, right? >> Smart. >> Smart A he knows better than the right. So therefore, he didn't have the to have your question that you asked You have to keep the and not be one kilo. You're one step above. Okay, good. The said that's the gimar. I have a few questions. Three questions says the zerosim on this gimra. First of all, what lesson is the Gimmorra teaching us when the Gmorrah says that the woman took his fillin not out fillin and went from B medish to B medish why did he take why did he take anything what do you need something for just go and say my husband was a why was he what's the added message here about taking the fill in and going of all things them is >> but maybe there was a maybe she wanted to have you know some people have a issue they check the fill >> so she would ask them to check but it's not what she said >> she didn't say she didn't say check by muzus and she didn't say check the fillin and she didn't bring the muzus of the door either >> you know we learned here in zerimshin a while ago the word muzas is zaz mas remember zaz muza is a shmeir zaz it pushes away death. So if you wanted to bring an article that would show protection would be a very appropriate article. You could bring the muza. Didn't bring the muza. Could have brought the titus. Didn't bring the titus. Brought the cash is twofold. What do you have to bring something for? Number one. And number two, why of all things that you're bringing is the fillin? We're going to learn tonight a little bit the kaducillin along the line of this message, it's also practical to learn about the continues why was everyone else dumbfound? Why was everybody else not able to answer? You needed to answer said the word means to lift up doesn't mean he didn't lift upon that's his questions. Follow me now along on a journey to learn a little bit about the and how a person has to deal with as the says she had a what was her is Do you remember what means? >> Long days. >> Long days. What does it mean? Long days. >> Finish your question. >> Your long days doesn't just mean a long life, right? We say over the maharal >> long days means that your life in this world is connected to a higher reality. Which means when you live a 24-hour day, you would say the day began, the day ended, right? Endic, and that day is gone. Not if you filled your life with mitzvah. When a person lives his life or her life, when you live with mitzvah, you're going to benefit. You're going to benefit. That day will be that day will go on for a very very long time. You'll be able to be to live that day. That day is going to last for eternity because you connected yourself to eternity. a day that you fulfill you're connected to connected to the so maybe you're going to say but maybe he learned a lot as the Mishna says in that your should be What does that mean in English? You learn a lot, but you don't do you have to learn and as much as you learn, you have to do even more. You have to always be in that mat of you're learning and you're doing mitzvah. You should know maybe you think that my husband didn't do mitzvah and he was just a big but it was all theoretical. That's not true. And maybe means that he did the mitzvah. I'm bringing you the to show you that my husband was that the Indian of mitzvah is that it gives a person an Indian of You know how you're supposed to wear he didn't she he my husband was constantly connected to the as a matter of fact when a person wears fill in you're not allowed to because you're not supposed to not think about it. Let's take a look at the Gmorra in think so. No. Is it the gamura in or the gamur in shabas? One second. >> You ask if you're allowed to eat with fillin. So if it's if a person is makbid on his it says you're not allowed to pass gas with your that it says you're not allowed to do you're not allowed doesn't there's no isert to eat with it. is only an isser the other way. Okay. The garra says I couldn't find it here at this moment. The garra says that a person wears fillin rav was a tal of rebi and he wore fillain his whole life talks about a number of the who were always wearing fillin all day. The ram tak brings down that a person should be very careful mitzvah because when a person is wearing his it's there to be to the gar says and this is what I was looking for over there the garra says here it You have was sitting in front of Rabbi. He was a little bit making a few different like he was happy. It was. So his rebi said to him, "You're supposed to be happy with which means you have to temper your happiness with he saw he was happy." He said to him, I'm wearing my in both cases over there says he said I'm wearing my here it is says I'm wearing myillin and that's an adus that the aish is with me explains the moral when a person is wearing fill in the explains. I once heard from my Rebies, when you put your fillin on your body, you put the name of Hashem on your body. You write the name of Hashem on your body. Why? Where is the name of Hashem in fillin? The name of Hashem, there's a shin. There's a dalid. The shin is on your box. The dollid is in the back. Even if you have a little square, it's two dollids. And where's your yud? On the hand. But if it's in two different boxes, if the shin and the dalot is on the rush and the yud is on the shelad, how are you writing the name of Hashem? >> The ter is when you put them on and you wear it, then your body writes the name of Hashem on it. Which means that the in your zeal has the letters of Hashem but not the name of Hashem because it's in two different boxes. But when you put them together on yourself then shame hashem you're actually your body writes the name of hashemi said that makes the more holy when it's on you than when it's in the bag cuz when it's on you you wrote the name of hashem through you so it becomes activated take a light bulb. It's off. There's no electricity. Put it the light on. There's electricity. It's may the in the is a pair of that potentially has the name of Hashem. The when you put it on you, you're writing the name of Hashem with the get bigger kadusha through you. You become the electricity for that filler. My husband was always connected to the basher. Hashem is supposed to protect you. Why didn't he not protect my husband? That's why she was taking his fillin. Listen to what he listen to what he told her according to the zeros. And it says when a person does everything he can to watch himself from. So then to watch him second column top of the page like it says the Russia wants to get him. Hashem doesn't let nobody could understand why. So what did he do wrong? He's connected to and he has name on him. They couldn't answer. Eli went into her house. There's probably a message here. There's probably a message. She was coming to the midrashim, >> but by ear one of my talum called me up last week. I'm going to explain to you in English. One of my Don't worry, I won't leave you hanging. I promise. One of my tamid called me up. There's a certain Talmid who's in a bitter battle of divorce. Terrible, ugly geer and it's going nowhere. This other Talmud spent two and a half hours with his friend and he did something which nobody else did. Everybody else was telling the fellow who's fighting, "Do this, do that. Why are you doing this, you should do that?" Nobody asked him, "How are you doing?" No one asked him and no one told him, "You must be going through a hard time." Nobody got to him except this other who was able to two wife more in those two hours than everybody else did in years. You know why? Cuz he went into his life. He went and put himself by him came to her. Let's see what's going on by you instead of you coming to us. Let's see what's going on by you. And that way he was misgow what's really going on. Let's go in this. And I asked her about how they were together and she told me how he wasn't or had his own ideas of how they should keep the of separation and to which says and here's the main point. He brought himself close to which means There's an Indian that a person has to be in Yiddish. Pull yourself away. Don't let yourself get into a sticky situation. The preventiveness preventive medicine all the doctors say preventive medicine check make sure you know do your colonoscopy do your this do your that alamis preventive medicine is the best way to fight illness. Preventive medicine is the best way to get from the aishar. You want him to want to make sure he helps you not to do a sin. So pull yourself away. You pull yourself away. Since he didn't do that, look how strong I am. I can get into bed and I'm not going to do anything. Very nice to go ahead and get protection from the I'm sorry you lost that. Now you're not going to have for days. You know what aid is? Not just pious. You know why you have grizzle topas? Cuz you want to look Jewish. cuz you want it to be a schmita that people look at say you can't do that a vera look at what you look like you're an orthodox Jew right so you know you don't put the yam the pious into the capital you hide them no you wear your pious proud I'm a Jew and I'm proud of it so you go ahead and show kick right I'm a form of protection the anami if you don't do that if you don't pull pull your ways from sin then you can end up falling in a person pulls from the person shouldn't say pull the away from me I mean pull me pull me away from the pull the away from You pull yourself away and Hashem will give you the you know that there's something over there down the street that's aickle a trigger something which is a problem. Don't go there. Don't go and put yourself into a difficult situation. Get yourself away. That's what it means. upon him to pick up in a way to give credibility and to give hash to understand that there's a danger there and I have to pull myself away that was the lesson so in as much as fillin has a kayak for a person to be miscash with the and it's a strong you know I think everybody sitting in the room over here puts on everybody listening puts on fill in. But understand that what you put on fill in you're putting the you're connecting yourself to the at that time shouldn't be speaking at that time. You should appreciate how holy you are when you're wearing that. Don't let the diminish what you accomplish when you're wearing. You become a vehicle through which your goof becomes a kadesh like the is to see that every single Jew at least one time should put on in their life that means they connected themselves to the they can have because they connected to Hashem in this world every day you have the to put on every day you have a chance to connect to the as we learn from tonight's zerosim the quality of that connection is dependent on how much a person is careful is the connection. You know, you can have a best friend. He's a business genius. He can make you a ton of money. He can pick you up your midas but if you don't use the relationship properly you were a good friend with a good person but you never grew with him. The is the best companion through the you could be and he allows us to be masher ourselves to him but we also have to value that relationship. We have to be that's That's what the zerosion is teaching us. The person was a big person was doing mitzvah but he never valued that relationship. He never valued the fact that now that you have such a good relationship. Move away from the negativity. So he wasn't he had all the possibilities and all the potential. As we travel day after day after day through the and we get closer and closer to we're getting closer and closer to the day that gives us the it's an opportunity to be herself from all of the like we say in the let's use the time as We distance ourselves from all of the negative will be an opportunity for connection to good.
