[snorts] What a bunch of such to Mrs. Weinstein's sister's yard site which is on V the same day as the rafu in the of the Jewish soldiers who serve to protect our brothers and sisters init and for the all of all of Yeshua's As you enjoy the gashmas, [clears throat] let's enjoy some as well. I want to also thank Torah anytime for being for being mayitz this year and so many other shim thousands and thousands of Shiman the founder the co-founder and all of their staff are doing such an amazing job. Okay, we are going to learn something very special tonight that we've never done before. We're going to learn and we're going to learn a little bit about what the what benefits are there for the nama in ganeden from the mitzvah that people do in this world. are appropriate for the nisherim to learn a little about the suga of what does the nama do when it leaves the body? What happens the first week? What happens in the first month in the first year and how does it benefit from our lives in this world? So in volume two in the zerin at behind safer devar there are the different migillas. If you can turn to page tough kf which is inelis if you could please turn to that. Let's learn. We always say the end of an of a suga, the end of an a a event. And as we'll soon see the end of a mitzvah. That's the mitzvah. A bunch of cashes. Number one. What is the big of who doesn't know that the end of something when something a job which is unfinished something a cleanup and it's still in the middle whatever job there is that's undone Someone's doing an whether it's a plumbing, whether it's electricity, whether it's a building, learning the middle, it's not yet finished. The ismar is built. What's the in that taught us that we don't understand normally? Question number one. Question number two, we find in that sometimes the beginning is actually better than the end. Let me give you two examples. says the on the first night is the afterwards everything is after go depends who runs who makes but the maximum the maximum is in the That's the afterwards says. So here we found a few examples that the beginning is the terret is We're talking about a mitzvah. Even though you know what Jamal wants to teach you, everybody knows that the person who finishes off the mitzvah is considered the one who gets. So what's with the person who starts the mitzvah? He has nothing. What's his status? That's what is teaching us. How so? finger that means to say it's better than the beginning but the beginning is also good. It's good but not like the end. So there is a in the too. Now, I wanted to learn through the Gmorrah says when left everybody took andu went to take and And yet in Pik in Yahosua when after was nif and claw came there it's listen look inside state that took him out but that's not true took him out he just took him all the way till And then from har and on now finished the job but yet the says that gets credit the says because the if a person starts a mitzvah and doesn't finish it finishes it. It's like he did it the person who finished like he did it coast to coast and that's why it says took him out because even though didn't but didn't finish the job who finished the job says the closer the finisher gets that of doing the gans Frank got a classic. You know what he says? [laughter] >> You know, everybody figured that out. doesn't get no a person who starts a mitzvah you do but sometimes the first person who does it says it's hard to do. That's right. It's not there. The second one should get all the the first one works so hard. Nope. Sorry. It's not fair. What's the >> Oh, no. Is >> found the gold under his please. >> In the desert, >> Bernie. Yeah. That's the There's no in this world that. So let that must be but it's not that and what happened you get for the thing right but you see first we'll get to it burn I'm going to get I'm going to get to it but I hear now is when a person works and a person works every day takes him 10 days to do a job. He's getting paid, let's say, $250 a day. 250 a day for 10 days, he's going to get $25,000. When you owe him the money, when he finishes the job or every day that he works, he gets money for the job that he did. is something is every day you work you get soon I want to just say something he finish the job then he get paid >> when he no I know like he does if a person doesn't want to continue his job wants to back out in middle of the day. Is he allowed to back out? Yes, you're allowed to. You can't force a person to finish a job. What you could do as a balab is you can reduce his wages so that you can get the job done the way he said he would do it. Meaning if he said he was going to take $200,000 for a job and mitten the job, he stopped. So he would get what 1250 he get 1250 and now he stops >> and now he stops and now it's going to cost me $1500 to figure out for the first one prorated so I can finish the job but the first one gets paid what do you mean is only what happened the person who works you get for every little bit you So you're right in a way Bernie Moshen did have to get paid not in this world but he does get paid for doing it. So how can the says only took him out in >> depends how you get >> okay >> if if if you finish a job let's say Sunday even he works on shabas doesn't mean you're getting paid in shabas >> but what about in the weekday >> what >> in the WEEKDAY LET'S LEAVE SHABAS out of it it's not so versus carried him >> say how how you this work I should finish the job you say it's not like it's more and they end with the beginning depends how you make the >> okay so what are we talking about here traveling with the >> that wasn't on shabas have other way also to do this that he brings. What was the says the says also took because the says took him out. How do you reconcile the fact that one says took him out the other says listen to the of the Listen to what wants to teach us. Says the zerosion is like the says is better than do but rais is also good. Both of them are good. I'm on page second column. Everybody gets going to the but so what is it mean that the only the closer the finisher gets if everybody gets everybody is so what's special about the and fore it's an Indian which is hu Now, he was a so when he says, he knew it. We're about to learn it. A person gets means clothing for his that became and I was and I wore it. A person gets a mitzvah every gets a every time you do a mitzvah. However, the leav and the malik is only for the finisher, [clears throat] only for the not for the mas. Listen to this. He will indeed get for the for sure. But the he will not get. It all depends who finished it off. clothing as we'll soon see is known as covetus clothing when a person failed he's he has bush the Gmorrah says why is clothing called it takes away the mitzvah. You can't let's say that in English you can't be proud if you haven't finished. SO THE of everybody who's involved in a mitzvah why shouldn't you get from Sarah as much as you did you get but the zeros being something which we never knew which is that with a mitzvah also comes the of a mitzvah that's the honor that comes with a mitzvah for that you have to finish the mitzvah A person who starts it doesn't get the of the mitzvah. Let's see the in the zy one of them. There's a few. Listen to what he writes. It's the yard of the so I thought it would be appropriate to talk about [clears throat] what let's talk about what happens to a when it leaves this world. Afra after you close the eyes of the mace buffer. Rabbi Yehuda Brahawitz magir in Tyrus Misha many many many years ago once told me that when his father passed away the kadisha told him close the eyes. He said I couldn't do that. His father had passed away. He said close the eyes. He said to went to be man. He said if I would have known what the Indian is. When you tell a child to close the eyes of the parents, you're saying Tati or mommy, you don't have to look in the world anymore. I'm looking for you. I'm your eyes now. He said if I would have known that I would have been able to do it but nobody told me that that was in >> they didn't say they just said do it you know like sometimes just do this right so he didn't know right that's the mimic what are the of the mace in the caver the covered who It's a cover for the that the son should do it is actually a cover. Okay. Now call during the first seven days the nama goes from the house where they're sitting shiva to the caver and from the caver back to the house. The nishama during those seven days is disengaging from this world. So it's by the goof then it goes where they're sitting shiva from their sitting shiv back to the goof read it and it's on the goof three times a The are done person doesn't understand this about what happens during that week. The Maral writes, the Gimarra says there is I think 103 different forms of misa if I remember the lash of the Garra. The Garra says the best one, the easiest, remember >> is taking a hair out of milk, right? And the hardest one was like to stick something through a very small hole. The the difficulty or the easiness of a person's depends on how his nishama was to the gof in this world. If he really enjoyed the stuff that that while you're munching Yity on all this food at the right time gets a big mity gets a big masleto. He finish cm shel [applause] >> and Yi had a baby girl today. Get a boy, a girl [cheering] that a person that a person is that you're connected to your goof, the harder it is for the goof to part from the nish. The less connected the goof is to the nishama to the the go the nishama to the goof. Let us say the less connected the easier it is for it to depart from this world. It doesn't hurt because it wasn't that connected anyhow. It doesn't hurt. And as we'll we'll see in order to make it better for the sadic the shows him thear. Okay. He shows him thear. Okay. Next. [clears throat] after that time if it needs to goes to whatever mistakes a person makes during those 30 days that's the 30 days the as a cleansing period the after it's it goes and searches in the world and say then comes back to its goof in the lavish until it dresses it has lavush with what it's roi to be mislablish with after 12 months once everything has rested that means the gof is already in the offer and the bus or whatever had to become disintegrated became disintegrated. By the way, it's to say that the biggest favor the aster can do to a person is allow us to die. It's the biggest. Why? Why? >> Because every single person ain't We all make mistakes. If a person is with all of our blemishes, then we're about forever. >> Wow. >> Isn't it better to take the and remove from it the should go back into the ground and disintegrate? And when it comes only the good only the good connects for all of eternity and the guy let it go back into the ground. So that's why if a person's atic and he didn't do anything wrong then he doesn't have to be nifty could be like we're not holding there. So what are we going to do with all our jealousy, our anger, our this and that do now whatever you can't finish off will go into the ground but after 12 months the body becomes disintegrated it goes back it goes back listen I want to get to the end of this goes up And then it's miss over there now says the read. Wo is it to people that don't look they don't understand on what they're surviving. They're too busy in this world with with until they forget to do and mitzvah and the mitzvah that a person does become clothing. And he says for each part for the for the and the nephesh there are some mitzvah. Some of them become clothing for the in the higher. Those are mitzvah which a person does with his heart like when you do a mitzvah and you do it with the right it's in the in then there's other that's like and then there are in this world. You can see that in a dream and he goes on to tell the story. There was Yehuda the zadei bed. He was upset a little bit. He was getting older. Things weren't working the way they used to. To calm him down. They showed him in a dream. He showed him clothing. He asked it was made shining. What is this? He asked in his dream. What is this clothing? It's your clothing. You made this through a mitzvah. This is your custommade mitzvah clothing. You made this with your mitzvah. This is your from that day on. He saw wow. Not that you're supposed to do the mitzvah, but at least it's sometimes good to know that the struggle and the harder of tonight is get no matter what. If you get mitzvah what you do you get the end even if you don't finish. So what's the mirac is the and the comes from a mitzvah of a person who finished the mitzvah. That's the covet and the lavush that comes. That's what a person who finishes gets that the person who starts and doesn't finish does not get. It's that lavush and that malik. Now let's just come full circle the next two three minutes with I want to go there. It's I want to go in there. I want to finish off. I want to do the mitzvah. And obviously one of the things want to do is I took out of give me a chance. I want to bury him. I started this mitzvah. I know that rule. Let me finish that mitzvah. It's okay. It's good. The is because of attitude. It should have been considered that he finished it too because what do you want from him? He's the really stopped him from doing it. that we see that he didn't finish it. So why does it say that took it out if the doesn't lose I'll tell you outside what the saying got the whole way from beginning to end because it was up to him he would have finished it he got full scar so why does the tyra say that did it to teach you the lesson that completely but not to derail and that's why the says Mosha took him out and took him out that's why both of them get to teach you that you can get and as we're learning there's a there's The beauty of the mitzvah of being a g a mitzvah of finishing off a mitzvah of beautifying a mitzvah. That's the as that's the that the islavish as we just saw in the zesh that that's a special of finishing off that only is for the that malik which is malava a person is only for the go the zerosimshin wrote a safer 200 years ago how many years ago 200 many years ago he was >> nif at least 300 >> yes >> 250 >> and I don't know if he was so popular a few years ago all of us >> who learn his safer are being malav him licorice mashiach we're taking him with us as we go towards Messiah we're learning his tyra learning saying over his ver saying over his so we're to be with him I heard from that on the yard site the nama also comes back to the goof why because it's through the goof that a person goes up it's the goof that is called the mahalak the nishama can't if You can't go down. You can't go up. The fact that we have alias is because we're in a gof and the gof could go down. The rebi you know when it's considered giving cover when you have the choice to say I'm not going to listen to you but instead I will listen. When you put a gun to somebody's head and he listens he's not giving any respect. He's doing because he has to do it. That's not called coveret. That's called being forced. That's a dictator. Covet means I don't have to but I'm going to do it anyway cuz I want to. That's called covet. That's what a human being right gives to the in a way that malim cannot give cover because they have to. So what happens when a person's nifer? What happens when a person's nif on that day when people remember make braus learn his tyra so we become the vehicle through which they bring out his covet we become a with the nar we become af with the person and his nish so his lavush becomes your lavush and your lavush becomes his lavush that's the grace of that we have. We have the to learn week after week after year. For all those who've sponsored in the past and who sponsored today and who will sponsor in the future and all those who learn and you make and have said when you make a bra, right? Don't just eat the food for your body. the in the food. The food is for your body. But if you make a then the food will be for your too. Then you connect the food to the for your mine. Amen. >> I love you. I love you.
