I also want to give a special thank you to Tyra anytime for doing all the things that they do spreading T in CL it's a for us to be able to be part of T anytime okay this is the first she of the winter page it's letter T got a my okay welcome back everybody I hope everybody had a good yump if I apologize that I was not here last week um I had to be in ER for a week of Shiva my uncle my wife's uncle passed away wolson during the family was sitting shiva so we were there um so I would also like tonight's sh is being sponsored by Y preder in honor of me so I want to hand off or share and do this Shas my uncle I want to tell you that my uncle one of the things he was famous for was he was the composer of the song moem What you people or all of us all of us all of us us people sing m that was he composed that song He composed the song about 45 years ago when my passed away who I never met he composed it and after and the reason that it coincided with the p of my is because there's a statement yakar it's precious when those who are devote his pass away with no coincidence also passed away when we sang Yak I want to tell you two unbelievable things about my uncle first of all he passed away the day after his father's yard site his father was nft on during he was nft on you test mean one year later no or 50 years later 50 years later why is that significant the the r brings down in that we're supposed to keep a yite of parents Etc how long how many years there's one opinion you know what means y 50 years of course 50 years NE if a person's you know you're saying Kadesh for your father I'm saying kades I'm 18 years in I got another 32 years to go for 50 years that's the amount of time and then afterwards you're done you did your job as a child raber was healthy until the last day Mish the day before he passed away he finished 50 years of saying Kadesh for his dad making annually every year absolutely he said I did I did my job I did my job for my dad imagine that the day before he passed away he said I did my job for my dad Fifth and he was so he was the only one who could say Kadesh for his dad which he did loyally for 50 years the next day he was gone the day before he passed away they sang the song at the k for 30,000 people whatever the number was there and one of his granddaughters took a video showed it to her Grandpa to her zi to sabba look Sabah look they're singing your song he says I hope asem whenever it comes time for me to go up to Shay and they start making with me at least I'll have a that my song was people hopefully I have atile so they won't come down so hard on me on the L flight back last Sunday Sunday M shabas this week you had a passenger on the flight with you I had a passenger on the flight with me that's right I don't know if you looked at they have is they have programming for from people too so there's one part of the program which is called hiab and they have 11 episodes listen to this one of the episodes randomly my reiton was looking through my Ritson was brought up in the house he was when her parents passed away they adopted her and brought her in so he was like a that's why we were there for the whole week of Shiva there was an interview with a fellow named Orin benavi I think you might be able to look it up actually they did the did look it up Orin Ben AI he's a saxophone phone player and he I guess is pretty good because um they uh he's well known in the Israeli Society he became from three years ago and on this iPod on this on this podcast the fellow interviewing said how did you become from he said well you know I played in all different types of events Jewish and non-jewish so I knew the songs and one night three years ago I was playing they were playing a song and the words of the song and the tune which I knew very well just hit me it like hit my Nish and while I was playing I started to cry and I started crying and I had to play and I was embarrassed because people I thought people were like looking at me he said what song was it on the way home on the way home from the Shiva of all the different different different messages I we saw and experienced I don't know if it's still on maybe they change things up every month it said I'm sure they do so I don't know if it's still there now but you can look it up but it was there on and exactly what he said this fellow was because of that song and that was the message so it was like a little Nish a little kiss that K gave us on the way home to know you know what he made a different in the world that's the that we had to have such an uncle and he was he was really a very very very because like a lot of the russas and people who came in who came to be said wonder what kind of he must have had to be such a niggan what did he do right that gave him such Aon such a present they should be able to have I'll tell you one thing he came from a very wealthy Mish and he was willing to sacrifice the fame and fortune of Buckingham Palace and all that it had to offer to sit in the B Med he gave it all up for that and he was has a son that has Yesa it's called the Wolfson Academy or in a thousand tal thousand talum as big as punov so he was in that That Base medish was finished this year they finished building that base Med Isa started about 10 years ago R together with him of the russas his son is the r who teaches at Thea wolson and M he was to see leave Buckingham Palace where he was heading where his uncle Sir Isaac was and Lord Leonard and all of the wolves and family and all of their hierarchy and took a life of Tyra and built a palace in a B Ines so probably that was one of his so we're going to say today she I found a piece that I believe is also appropriate again page the background of today's Z is as follows the background is as follows had in the world all these types of Nations Nations that all they wanted was neged Hashem it started back in the DAR the gar says abu's life he lived at the end of par there's a story about all the nations of the world Gathering together for the purpose of building a city of build thank you very much of building a city of building a tower and they had Unity of everybody except for one man on one side like a was on the other side of the river sort of the other side of the decision everybody voted together to build a city they had not 270 electorates they had everything one man starts to him with is the man who said I'm not Mas him I'm not going along they said he's anyway a dead end leave him alone forget about him and they went and built the Tower was them over the entire world and took away their language nobody could speak that language anymore except for one Manu he still spoke he was the one and only they all were speaking by they all spoke one language he was the only one left we come full circle in this week's paraa there was a war between five Kings and Four Kings they went to capture light Abu had to save light and when AB ainu was successful they came to a valley they they all came together ACH similar till they were in an ACH back then when they built the Tower a it's the Valley of the king which king if you look in rashi rashi says the king is no none other than AB ainu they all voted to make abamu king of the world a after he with his handful of people 318 which maybe could have only been one person elazer who was gatria 318 conquered Four Kings who had conquered five Kings so basically he ruled it all singlehandedly from being the outcast of society the one in only who years earlier stood conned the entire world with his am and his with his belief and Security in hasem and today the world sees Abu as the owner like the m at that at that um in this Valley at that mad at that event shame the son of n the only person at that time who lived before the Mau in the old world who saw what the world was like before the mble shame came to AB ainu to give him to to award him and to praise him to bench him shame Ben no showed up at that event and he said the following that's what his name was he took out Bread and Wine he was a a servant by and he blessed him and he said may he be blessed to hem above blessed is who protected you me is ation of M what we say in our daily M Abram the protector of a that's right then gave shame who was a Meer the Zer shimin is about to teach us shame made a critical mistake that's a shame I knew you was he made a critical you I thought you were going to say shame on him okay but all right so he made a critical mistake you know what his mistake was he recognized a before the he put the eved in front of the master and by doing that he lost Kahuna and the cuno went over to abam Not only was he a Mel but he was given the distinction of being like aen and eventually Abu eventually of course one of his children through sh Ley the Kahuna went through them in the story shame was still a Cen by the time the story was over he was stripped from the Kahuna and given to Abu that's the background no how could he do it how could he do it we're going to learn now the zariman asks seven or eight questions on the story we'll see how much we can answer but this is the background to the seur this is the background take a look me because he praised a first you're praising a before you're praising he took away the as true to form all of the basic questions number one why indeed if shame who was Tak such a bigad and indeed he was how could he go sh he was a big r he had a lot of there yob learned by him learned by him how could he make such a mistake question number one and why did he lose the why is that the appropriate why did give him the afterwards question number five ask for by the way just FYI if you remember this from years ago say made a big mistake he made a mistake when when when me said keep the money give me the should have never given him back those people cuz you know what me did did with them afterwards they were means they were mamish like uh they were [Music] ruined low lives they if that's by the way why went to DAV for them because he felt it's no push it because AB had them in his hands it's a brings down you in your hands you had all the were your servants what' you give it back to him for give him the money you gave him the money anyway why'd you give him the he gave back all thees you were too good you should have held on to them and T when they were went to go he felt he had to go but the question here is why did why did M wait for this incident and for this story to ask what's the order of the why is he praising as being the K what does K mean acquired also created the world why is the name appropriate we're going to focus on that one also repeats that and says I raise my hand to to he is I want to give you a little bit of background to understand what's going on in there are three opinions to understand the it says we say he gave the to what does it mean he gave the Earth the ask it says asked owns everything but then it says remember the answer if you make a says take it if you don't make a you don't recognize it comes from the you're a g that's what the gar says over there fine has says the one opinion holds that how what does it mean Hashem gave the to created us he didn't ask us did he he didn't ask Humanity or the world he made us you made me take care of me you didn't ask me whether I should be here or not I'm here because you put me here so if you make something take care of it which means whatever a person needs to be sustained minimum minimum that will take care of you were created against your will to be sustained you should be sustained even if you have no now if you have a then you get extra according to this opinion means you get the minimum amount the first ter means I gave the because I had to I created them I didn't ask them so I have to give them exactly what they need the minimum amount one way or another no one will starve you'll get food the minimum you need you if it doesn't come because you can work you get it from a soup kitchen you get it this there'll be enough food to sustain doesn't mean there's going to be above and beyond but at least the minimum that means that if you serve Hashem you can get even more but you're going to get the minimum no matter what that's opinion number one opinion number two it's like a a a every fourth year you have to go and give to the you have to be it that's like the if you make a the first opinion holds whether you make a or not he created you you get it no matter what you don't have to have a you'll be at least you'll have what to eat you want more so then you have a the second says no you get nothing unless you recognize it comes from hasem if you make a there's no difference between more or less without a nothing without a that's the second opinion that's only for the Jewish people though that's for Humanity recognize they going and break bread so that right that they have to also recognize they're recognizing y notem okay Len the Muslims recognize Hashem right the Muslims recognize hasem and this comes to the main opinion this is opinion this is what according to the Z shame was under the opinion now this is what you're saying ell if you're a you get and they the reason everybody else gets right like it says gives to the world because there are people who are let's over for a minute per hey in per the world was created in 10 utterances right but so then why did he have to do that couldn't he do it in one the answer is yes he could the M answers because set up the world he didn't create in what utterance like let there be a world he did it piece by piece by piece like a puzzle and part of the puzzle is creation of a human being a human being has the to put the puzzle together every single one of us have the kak to either separate the puzzle and don't put it together or put it together says the mishna takes it from the get takes from from the r meaning he expects all human beings to make the world a good place if you do you get and if not then you're held accountable this opinion says the if s mention in the world there are people that are decent moral people they get the food what's with all the they'll get also thanks to theik three in the sustenance and the BR and the food of the world one is it comes to the world minimum no matter what one opinion because if God created us or created us at least he gives us the minimum anything more you have to deserve that's opinion number one opinion number two you get nothing unless you recognize Hashem opinion number three you get nothing unless you're a good person unless you're a sadic but for a the rest of the world gets shame was under the opinion that for righteous people says that we'll read it in English we'll say it over in English is the whole world he understood and maybe and just maybe you know shame when he survived the old world he lived for one year in a boat with his dad and his brothers Shane Ben no became a zookeeper he came a zookeeper the man of the world was for one year in charge of a zoo right is that true why Why was the you want to build a world you have to build it on take care of the entire world shame learned very well what it means to what's the of that allows the world to continue one of the to be a person who has a that should give us the world is was a zookeeper because said with that of that you'll take care of the animals you'll be able to rebuild the world so that's what shame knew from his perspective when he lived in the table he saw firsthand how one man his tati was the reason that the whole world survived and according to him that's exactly the way the world continues to survive as such he wanted to show recognition to Abu for being the person if he just became me then it became clear to the entire world that AB ainu is the reason that the world continues for us let's remember a it's right in the beginning of Bas be when he created says the medish [Music] beu was the person that on his created the whole world which means that you have 99.999% of the world that are saying Raam get out of our Lives we're making a tower we're kicking you out and we're going to do our own thing and you have one man a there Ain there Alaine who says they're wrong and he in this episode after 50 years proves everybody that I'm right and they all admit to him the K hasem that happened in this place thanks to was so great the kesem that that's what threw off Shame Shame was thrown off and gave a praise to AB he didn't mean to but he gave a praise to AB because the magnitude of what had happened at this story was that it became clear and evident that the and I want to finish off with that point at the end end end of per it says he has five one Kenyon he says is sh one Kenyon isra one Kenyon is BAS one of the is let's listen to the L of the owes everything what do you mean what does it mean has five explains them this means that there's a certain clear exclusive ity when you have a kenon that it's so clear that the person who no one else can own this just this owner just this person it's not sh a house today it's mine tomorrow it's yours I don't see clearly that this Kenyon is something that is uniquely and completely and exclusively everything a person you today own this card tomorrow you buy it for me do I see exclusivity can only belong to and can only belong to was so was so loyal to the that says you are mine and I am yours and there's no one who could ever doubt that and therefore I can build the World on you I can build the world the other that was in G you look like him you have R 248 aim that's the GATRA of your name you've reestablished the the end of the par you get a br cuz was created Nimo without the an what do what do we call a gentile an Ood that's right an Ood an ARA because that's a person that has that is lost theu gets the Commandment of having a bris at what age 100 years old he's now back to being the and looks you know what the whole world is because of you and all of your children are going to be B wasn't to that was called but he wasn't the first time that Adam came back to this world was by and that's what shame saw shame recognized how much greater AB was in his father no shame saw no and shame saw abam and shame saw and he made a mistake he taka made a mistake he praised he was so overwhelmed with aru's accomplishment that he praised him first he lost the Kona because of that but says the Zar least there's a reason we understand why because this was the moment that the world was waiting for this was the moment where it became evident who the K not the not who created it not was Yer but who AC ired it meaning to say it's so loyal and that's what we have every single ye our loyalty that we have and should have to the when we say we make that so we have to identify ourselves and our loyalty no matter what we're always loyal to you no matter what that is the m and that way we every single one to mention my uncle again he was a very loyal Jew to the he was Tak very loyal loyal completely saying to
