Today's daf is working daf samecha. So
we will begin from the Mishnah on daf
samecha amud aleph moving along in perek
chata'if. So the topic of the last few
dafin has been a korban that's not a
zevach but rather an
oif. Chata'if, oif
some of the differences between the
korban of a chata'if and an oif.
Now one of the key characteristics of an
oif is that although oifos chulin
require shchita, but oifos kodeshim
required melika. So the first avodah
that was done with an oif
in the Beis Hamikdash was not shchita,
rather [clears throat] it was melika.
And there's a fundamental difference
between shchita and melika aside for the
physical nature of it. And that is
shchita the Gemara says lav avodah and
as a result shchita k'sheirah b'zara.
Shchita was not considered an avodah as
opposed to melika. Melika is an avodah.
So that melika was something that
required kehuna, bigdei kehuna, all the
laws of avodah applied to melika just
like they did to kabalah, hiluchah, and
zerikah. One of the chiddushim of melika
is that although ordinarily in order to
eat from an animal you would need first
to have a shchita, whether it's a
beheima or it's an oif it would have to
be shchita. Melikas kodeshim worked to
be motzi the oif midei nevelah. So that
once the Torah was mechadesh that in
lieu of shchita when it comes to
kodeshim you do melika, not only is that
the seder avodah, but the melika is now
going to be matir the oif l'achilah. So
the kohanim were able to eat from the
chata'if
even though it never had a shchita. It's
very big chiddush that the melika of the
chata'if was motzi the chatas midei
nevelah. And as a result it was mutar
b'achilah. Additionally there was no
tumas nevelah.
And the topic of the last daf into
today's daf is what would be if the
melika was done but it was done in an
oif pasul. So it wasn't a kosher melika.
So that's clear that as far as that
avodah goes it's not going to be a
kosher avodah. So if somebody is
bringing an oif pasul to the Beis
Hamikdash and now a pasul did the
melika, being that melika is an avodah,
a pasul that does melika the melika is
going to be pasul. But do you say that
being that a pasul did the melika it's
not a melika at all. As a result we look
at this oif now as if it's an aveilah.
Or do we not look at it as if it's an
aveilah? L'meina nafka mina? Number one,
if somebody would eat it would he be
over this an aveilah? Number two, tumas
nevelah. Tumas nevelah when it comes to
an oif has a very special oif tumah of
tumah. It's called tumas beis habliyah.
And the question is would there be the
tumas beis habliyah? That's just a fancy
way of saying would you have tumas
nevelah for an oif that's whose melika
was done in a way that it wasn't
supposed to be done or not? That was a
shtikel of the topic of the last two
dafin. That's very much the topic of
today's daf. Says the Mishnah, kol
hap'sulin she molkin l'kodesh pasul. Any
pasul that does melika the melika is
going to be pasul. And the reason is
like we said before because melika is an
avodah. A chiddush even though shchita
lav avodah and melika is in lieu of
shchita, melika is an avodah. Stating
that einam metamei b'veis habliyah. If a
pasul would do the melika, the oif now
would not be viewed as an aveilah as it
relates to tumas beis habliyah. And
again that's a chiddush because you
would think that if the melika is pasul,
so what was motzi it from nevelah? So it
should be metamei b'veis habliyah.
Stating that halacha is that even though
kol hap'sulin she molkin l'kodesh pasul,
still einam metamei b'veis habliyah.
More like b'smol, if the kohen did
melika with his left hand, avodah has to
be done with the right hand. Oif
b'lailah, or he did melika at night,
avodah has to be done during the day.
Shachat chulin bifnim, or if a kohen
shachat
an oif that was chulin in the azarah, or
kodesh b'chutz, or he shachat not
melika. He did shchita with an oif
kodesh outside of the azarah. All of
these cases einam metamei b'veis
habliyah even though the Shulchan Aruch
wasn't followed.
A pasul did the melika as opposed to a
kosher. The melika was done with the
left hand as opposed to the right hand.
It was done at night as opposed to
during the day. Someone shachat oif
chulin in the azarah. You're not
supposed to do that. You're not supposed
to bring chulin in the azarah.
Specifically you're not supposed to
shachat oif chulin in the azarah. Or
somebody shachat an oif kodesh b'chutz.
That's two things wrong. Number one,
kodesh b'chutz. Number two, it was
shchita as opposed to melika. In all
these cases despite the fact that the
wrong thing was done, so certainly you
don't have an avodah k'sheirah, but at
the same time it's not going to be
metamei tumas beis habliyah. Says the
Mishnah there's another list of melikas
p'sulos where the halacha is that it's
such a bad melika that it will be
metamei tumas beis habliyah. What's
that? This is more like b'sakin. If the
melika was done b'sakin. So we had at
the end of the sixth perek the melika
had to be done. We all know this the
fingernail of the kohen. It had to be
done b'guf ha'etzba'os ha'kohen. So more
like b'sakin or molak chulin bifnim. So
not shachat chulin bifnim, but somebody
took an oif chulin, brought it into the
azarah, and he did melika with it.
B'kodesh b'chutz, or someone did melika
with an oif kodesh b'chutz. Again, the
first part of the Mishnah was discussing
shachat chulin bifnim or shachat chulin
kodesh b'chutz. Here we're discussing
molak chulin bifnim or molak kodesh
b'chutz. Oif sh'lo b'zmano, or if
somebody did melika with a tar that was
too young. The tar had to be a certain
age in order for it to be a kosher oif
as a korban. U'vnei yonah she'afzu
m'zmanan, or a bnei yonah that was too
old. She'yavsha gapa, if one of the
wings of the oif had dried out.
She'nismasa einav, or it became blind.
She'nikta raglav, foot was cut off. All
these cases metamei b'veis habliyah.
What's the difference between the reisha
and the seifa? The reisha is a list of
cases where you didn't have a melika
k'sheirah. The seifa is a list of cases
where you didn't have a melika
k'sheirah. In the reisha we say that
despite the fact that the melika wasn't
kosher, still the halacha is it's enough
melika to say that the oif is not going
to be metamei tumas nevelah. It's not
going to have tumas beis habliyah. In
the seifa we say that being that the
melika is pasul, not only don't you have
a melika k'sheirah, but you don't even
have
an oif that had melika as it relates to
tumas nevelah. Thus it will be metamei
tumas beis habliyah. So what's the
difference between the reisha and the
seifa? Says the Mishnah gives us a rule.
Kol shep'sulei b'kodesh einam metamei
b'veis habliyah. The reisha is
discussing p'sulin that are quote
unquote p'sulei b'kodesh and therefore
they're not metamei tumas beis habliyah.
L'o l'o shep'sulei b'kodesh. The seifa
is discussing p'sulin that are not
p'sulei b'kodesh. If they're not p'sulei
b'kodesh metamei b'veis habliyah. So
what does p'sulei b'kodesh mean? Let's
take a look at the last Rashi in the
Mishnah. Shep'sulei b'kodesh b'val
azarah b'cheshbon pasul. So says Rashi
the first group were all p'sulin that
happened in the azarah. Being that they
came to the azarah b'cheshbon and the
pasul all took place in the azarah, it's
for that reason we say that it's not
such a strong pasul. And therefore the
halacha is that even though the melika
is pasul, but it's not going to be
metamei tumas beis habliyah. The seifa
is discussing p'sulin that happened
not b'kodesh, before the
oif came to the azarah. That pasul is
considered a bigger pasul. And being
that that pasul is considered a bigger
pasul, it's for that reason the halacha
in those cases is that it's even going
to be metamei tumas beis habliyah. So
two things. Number one, the acharonim
speak out that when Rashi says the
definition of p'sulei b'kodesh and einam
p'sulei b'kodesh is b'val azarah l'o
b'val azarah, it's lav dafka. It doesn't
mean b'val azarah or l'o b'val azarah.
Meaning just to take one example,
she'yavsha gapa. That's one of the key
examples that we have in the seifa where
the wing dried out. The wing of the oif
becoming a mum, although it could have
happened outside of the azarah, it's not
an azarahdig pasul, but it doesn't
necessarily have to happen outside the
azarah. positive would be yavsha gapa in
the azarah it would still be considered
a pasul that's not p'sulei b'kodesh.
What the Mishnah means is a pasul that
would have to happen in the azarah
versus a pasul that doesn't necessarily
have to happen in the azarah. So molak
b'lailah, being that the makom of melika
is in the azarah, so that's considered a
pasul of p'sulei b'kodesh. Molak p'sulin
is considered a pasul that's p'sulei
b'kodesh. Why? Because where is that
going to happen? It's naturally going to
happen in the azarah. It's an azarahdig
pasul. As opposed to yavsha gapa and
nismasa einav, even though these are
p'sulin that technically could happen in
the azarah, but they're not necessarily
unique to the azarah in that they can
very easily have happened outside of the
azarah. And being that they could have
very easily happened outside of the
azarah, they're looked at as einam
p'sulei b'kodesh. That's the first
comment you have to make on the Mishnah.
Second comment you have to make on the
Mishnah is is that if you go through the
list it really doesn't work because
there are examples in the reisha that
would seem to be einam p'sulei b'kodesh.
And there's examples in the seifa that
would seem to be p'sulei b'kodesh. Just
to list one, kodesh b'chutz. That's
p'sulei b'kodesh. That didn't happen in
the azarah.
Kodesh b'chutz by definition happened
outside of the azarah. If somebody
shachat oif kodesh b'chutz the Mishnah
says it's not metamei tumas beis
habliyah. Why? Because it's p'sulei
b'kodesh. Because the pasul happened in
the azarah. By definition it's kodesh
b'chutz. Chutz means outside of the
azarah. So how does that work with the
klal of the Mishnah? An example in the
seifa would be molak b'sakin.
Molak b'sakin or molak chulin bifnim.
Right? Clearly it happened in the
azarah. So how could you tell me that
molak b'sakin is einam p'sulei b'kodesh?
What's the difference if you were molak
b'smol, molak b'lailah, that's
considered p'sulei b'kodesh, or molak
b'sakin that would be considered
einam p'sulei b'kodesh. So there are
exceptions and the reason that in those
cases the halacha is either metamei
tumas beis habliyah or einam metamei
tumas beis habliyah respectively is
going to be discussed more in tomorrow's
daf. But in terms of the havana of the
Mishnah, and that's important in terms
of Shabbat it's the longest and the
Shabbat all wrapped in one. So sometimes
the longest is actually the Shabbat. So
partial Shabbat in the Mishnah who cares
if it's Kodesh or Kodesh. So really in
order to understand that we have to
re-familiarize ourselves with
even all of the
so one of the most
if not the most per
as well as the ninth per
it's per Misbah
that
it is from
to the end of the so smooth sailing is a
shame it's
hashtag raid a lot of fun
but it starts really
you have a few hurdles to get over
between now and then but in case
but
that that already will be evident
[laughter] but from that
on you have
Misbah what is
Misbah discuss it discusses a carbon
that was possible a carbon whose was not
allowed to be brought on the Misbah a
carbon whose was not allowed to be put
on the Misbah so if you have a carbon
that's possible for example Mishnah
down with the sheet was done by
something wrong with the carbon so you
don't you're not
what happens if they ended up on the
Misbah anyways so there's
an
lawyer once they go on the Misbah lawyer
now there are exceptions to the rule
there are times where if something's
possible it's
so some
are
some
are
one of the rules that are
important in the of
is called
by some of the lawyer do called by
some of the lawyer do
in other words the some of the lawyer do
even though they're possible but they
considered a less of so you know why
because the lawyer
what's the longest the longest is is
that it's true
or
what we're discussing right now is a
week of so but what would be right now
if the
lawyer
week of was done by lawyer and now the
took the and he put it on the Misbah who
would be in all of the lawyer do so as
much as it's true the lawyer is a week
of so but on some level it's a week of
the whole lawyer in all of the lawyer do
and by the way level two do you say that
the lawyer do is not it's not allowed to
go on the Misbah once it touches the
Misbah all right we'll leave it there if
it's not allowed to be on the Misbah the
lawyer do would be in all of the lawyer
do the of the lawyer do is it's a total
there's a total
of the lawyer do that's the the first
part of the Misbah that the lawyer of
the lawyer do in all of the lawyer do is
a
that means even though the lawyer is a
week of so and you're right once that
lawyer was done by lawyer for example
there's no way to go and and and
now a
but there is a
week of so and a week of the lawyer do
that could be done with this
when is that true when it's by so oh but
so when it's by
as much as the lawyer was possible on
some level there is some
of this lawyer it's for that reason it's
not going to be to this where it's by
so there it's not a week of at all
because by
it's a lawyer do
so it's not a week of
it's also not a week of
with regards to the law of the lawyer
law
as much as
it's not a week of there's no reason not
to view this as a regular and
that's why the lawyer it is going to be
to this before we start in tomorrow so
it's a short
so before we start in tomorrow just one
so one of the that were mentioned in the
Mishnah was like the second and the
truth is we really had this idea of the
second in the end of the sixth per the
said that even though it's done with the
second and you would have thought that
it's done with the second which is
certainly a week of which isn't a week
of should have a [snorts] second but
it's not from a possible that it's
supposed to be done by so
the way was done it was done with the
fingernail of the
it was something that had to be done by
so
I'll tell you something interesting the
in the end of the of Israel so he's
discussing over there the possible in
the title that says that the Misbah
possible
it was very important that the Misbah be
made of a volume
it couldn't be made of stones that it
ever come in contact with a that it ever
come in contact with a knife or or with
a sword of some sort and the brings a
from Ezra and from the Rambam and then
he offers his own why is this this
terrible that the Misbah isn't allowed
to come in contact with a sword and he
says that a is forbidden and the Misbah
of course was a that was maybe shown so
says the Rambam that the Misbah of the
which is all about
how you talking that it should come in
contact with a sword which is forbidden
that brings
it's very nice that's what the Rambam
prefers in terms of all the different
that he brings why it is is that you
have this of
the
of the
of the then the Rambam says that the
truth is if you think about it for a
minute there was no
to be found whatsoever in the
they never used in English translate as
iron there was no iron there was no
used yet you didn't have and he says
even though there were times where it
would have actually made more sense to
use
over some of the other materials that
were used we can one extra from the
Rambam in the end of the of the
of the of the of the of the of the of
the
of the
of the the of the
the pegs that were used to keep the
curtains down so you
of the
wouldn't make sense had they been made
out of instead they made them out of
why they make it out of
because even though the is of the
of the
was regarding the of the Misbah but the
they took it a step further they did not
want to come anywhere near the
of the
so there's one exception there was one
piece of in the entire Mishnah
you know what that was the
the knives that were used for
so as the Rambam but don't worry about
that
because the knives
are going anyways I mean the of the
so it's interesting the
of the
that couldn't be
but the that was used for
I think it's possible back of the
envelope that's why the couldn't be done
with the second because isn't a
so if isn't a you're not allowed to have
a second that's the of the which isn't a
here so says the Rambam the second of
the
doesn't bother me that it's going to be
used with which isn't a
it couldn't have been used with but
regardless the Indian lawyer Indian
should
Indian
>> [laughter]
>> I guess a little bit as it relates to
this tell you something fast
the of the the
in his in in
was sent to
about a patent that a
doctor in Paris
had invented and the question was posed
to the of the is this
patent something that us in the of
can incorporate or not what's the
background so we know that the of is
made up of two parts there's
and
is the
of the gums
and removes the
that every boy is born with after the is
taken off the then takes his fingernail
and he removes a layer of skin that was
beneath the
on top of the gate he removes it he like
pushes it back almost like you would
roll up a sleeve it stays there and it
ends up you know staying on the gate and
eventually takes some sort of form as
the child gets old but and there are two
independent distinct parts of the itself
is
the
that's the removal of the that gets
completely removed from the gate and
then afterwards to further expose the
gate so to speak the is going to
remove this layer of skin he doesn't
completely remove it but he rolls it up
it stays on the gate and the you say to
it is that even though that layer of
skin is not
because if it was it had to be removed
but he's furthering the gate so to speak
from the and further exposing the gate
to show that this child is not an
is equally as important as the Mishnah
says in the
of the
so there's
you have to do the
they're they're both equally important
now the minute
has been
to do with
the fingernails matter of fact the
Rambam in of the of the
discusses the of the says the Rambam
you cut off the entire that covers the
and
the
of the
of the of the
of the
the
takes his fingernail and he removes that
that membrane that layer of skin of the
of the of the
the of the
of the
of the of the of the
so the minute always was to do with the
fingernail there was this doctor in
Paris that came up he invented a tool a
utensil that would do and the was asked
to the
is that okay is there a
to do
with the or or could it be done with the
and the thought was is that we know what
is trying to accomplish you're trying to
scale back the layer of skin and this
doctor had created something that was
actually going to do a better job than
the old fashioned way of doing it with a
fingernail thus giving the
so it's interesting number one the way
of the
begins the
he says you know recently there was a
big where people they want to be
the
of
and he says "But after all,
now they're taking it to the next level.
They're up it the empty." Not only do
they want to be mashina the way
metzitzah was done, but now I've heard
about a doctor in in Paris who wants to
even change the way priya is been done.
He wants to do priya with a kayli as
opposed to be doing priya with a
tziporen. So he begins the shaila
discussing, is there any halachic reason
to dafke do it with a tziporen or not?
So he says, "The emes is based on the
Torah halacha, I don't have any makor.
The Rambam says it, I don't have a
makor. But two things that as you can
see are
Number one, he says, "We know minag
Yisrael taira." And the emes is so much
of what we do is based on Torah shebaal
peh. It's based on the mesora that we
have dating back to Moshe Rabbeinu."
Says the Yachin U'Boaz, "Can you prove
to me that when the Torah says pri eitz
hadar it means an esrog?" So you can
show me a gemara in
which you're going to narrow it down to
certain types of fruits, but that it's
an esrog you won't be able to prove.
None of us. We have a mesora. The mesora
is that our father took esrog in the
days of the Zaydes, the Alter Zaydes,
the Bubbes, everybody, presumably dating
back to Moshe Rabbeinu. That's mesora.
Shalo vicha esrog. So that's why today
if somebody would take something other
than an esrog, are you a How
could you take something other than an
esrog? So he says, "Mayim chaim it's the
same thing." He says, "And the truth is
every single mitzvah has nuances of it
that you can't necessarily prove
in halacha, but it's based on mesora,
it's based on Torah shebaal peh." So he
says, "It's possible that the minag
Yisrael, the Rambam brings it, the
Shulchan Aruch brings it, was to do
priya with a tziporen. Mesora, this is
the way it was done dating back to to
Moshe Rabbeinu. The emes is the mitzvah
of priya was given to Yehoshua bin Nun.
But but dating back to Yehoshua bin Nun,
so the bottom line is is that even
though I can't prove it to you in
halacha, it doesn't necessarily mean
that's not the way it's supposed to do.
No less than even though I can't prove
to you that pri eitz hadar is an esrog."
That's what he said. It we know is an
esrog. But he says, "Besides, I'm going
to find you a makor. You want a makor? I
found you a makor." And it's a Yalkut
Shimoni. Listen to this. In Tehillim.
It's on the pasuk kol atzmotai tomarana,
Hashem nich moicha. Omar Dovid, Dovid
Hamelech said, "Kol atzmotai tomarana,
I was shocked, right? But more than
that. Bichol eivorai
I I am meshabeiach bichol eivorai kim
hamitzvos." Dovid Hamelech turns to
Hashem and says, "I use all my eivorim,
every single eiver that you created me
with I use for mitzvos. Biroshi ani roif
bikorev bifilasi." I was shocked with my
Dovid. Bisairos roshi, with my hair,
which which mitzvah is he mikayem? Lo
yisakif parosh roshcha.
Tefillin ani mariach, ani maniach
biroshi. Bitzaveri, what do I do with my
tzavar? I put on tzitzis. With my eyes,
ureh es moiseh. Bifiy, what do I do with
my mouth? Tehilas Hashem yidaber fiy.
Bisifosai, says Dovid Hamelech, what do
I do? Tivana sifosai tehila. With my
beard, lo yisashkes pas goncho.
Bilishoni, ulshoni tegech kicho. What do
I do with my layv? Bilivi tzafunti
emrasecha. Trachten lernen. Bichotzei,
that's the tzitzis that I put on,
kinaged alef. He says, "My right hand,
ani koisev bo
My left hand, I put on tefillin." Dovid
Hamelech was right. Tzipornai, what do I
do with my What do I do with my
fingernails? Lasos priya, I do priya.
Oi, u'likas oif, and I do u'likas oif.
Oi, shneihem yachad, or both. U'voyain
listakel al halivana. I also look at my
fingers when it comes to havdala.
Mayai, I'm skipping a little bit.
U'teiros bisaiach mayai. Regel, you mean
my right hand, chalitza. Regel smoel,
koideim lishalosh pisius achas fila.
When I go back, shaloshes pisius, first
my left and my right. Kriya, kriya, what
do I do with my knees? Kriyas birkayim
bitfila. Hagid, mitzvas milah priya.
Hagidis milah priya. Birkayim, my knees
again, ani oiseh sandek with you love
them. I'm sandek bishas milah priya.
Kach nemer kol atzmotai tomarana Hashem
nich moicha. Beautiful medrash. Says the
Yachin U'Boaz, "One of the things Dovid
Hamelech said was tzipornai. I use my
fingernails to mitzvos. What do I do
with my fingernails? Number one, I do
melika. And number two, I do priya."
Says the Yachin U'Boaz,
"Melika tzipornai, when it comes to
melika it's machik. Dos amishnu. Molech
bisakin is posul. So molech bisakin is
posul even metamei tumas meis av layv.
So that is going to be posul. So if the
fingernail is ikuva when it comes to
melika, so doesn't make sense that the
fingernail should be ikuva as well when
it comes to priya. So even though it's
not a mefurash makor maybe, but it's the
ganz fine makor. I have a Yalkut Shimoni
that puts fingernails
with regards to priya and melika. Bichod
umachta, when it comes to melika it is
machik. That's our mishnah. Molech
bisakin is posul. So the rule is when it
comes to priya, it should be When it
comes to priya it should be machik as
well. And then says the Yachin U'Boaz,
"You're going to tell me Ah, it's a
medrash. This is your makor?" So he
says, "I'm going to ask you something."
He says, "You know what the makor to
sandek says? Everybody goes crazy about
sandek. It's a mitzvah. Sandek
d'Rabbanan is more chashuv. It comes
from the Darkei Moshe. Remember Rema
wrote a perush on the Darkei Moshe.
That's where it comes from. You know
where the Darkei Moshe got it from? He
got it from the Agudas Mayim Mayim. You
know where the Agudas Mayim Mayim got it
from? He got it from this medrash right
here. The Agudas Mayim Mayim is in the
end of the third perek in Hilchos Milah.
The very very end of Hilchos Milah. I'll
read it to you." Says the Agudas Mayim
Mayim, "Had
>> [clears throat]
>> umisavin, mashachrim umisavin. People
they they really want this. It's like a
taiva. Lech atzinoik bishas shinima al
habirkai baal habris. Bizeh yesmach
Dovid Hamelech
The pasuk kol atzmotai tomarana Omar
Dovid lifnei Hakadosh Baruchu, ani
meshabeiach bichol eivorai umikayem
bemizvos. Ad borka, ani nasan sandek
l'baal habris
bishas milah." So says the
Binyan Tzion, "The whole makor to sandek
says this medrash. So if you're going to
machavek with priya with a tziporen,
machavek with sandek. And everybody
makes a tumel. This is minag Yisrael
taira. It's part and parcel of our
mesora Yiddishkeit that to be a sandek
at a bris is a very big deal. People
give it to chashuvim and to to parents,
people they want it. It's a tremendous
koved. So the bottom line is that it's
no less a makor. So just like no one
would be mevatal sandek, how can you be
mevatal doing priya with a tziporen?
Fascinating. I heard something else
interesting. That is that the Tziyeish
Chayes, my tziyeish was asked a very
very similar shaila. Same shaila.
Doesn't mention the doctor of Paris, but
a very similar shaila. Is it okay to do
priya with a kayli or does it have to be
done dafke with a tziporen? And he has a
similar teshuvah. Very similar teshuvah.
There's some nuances. I ain't shure. If
you want to take a look, I think it's
siman sameach in Marches. Shailos
U'Tshuvos Marches.
>> [snorts]
>> But the bottom line is that siman
sameach. But one of the things he says
at the end, he says he digresses from
priya and tziporen to metzitzah b'peh.
So I'll read it to you in Hebrew.
"Minhag metzitzah hu gets lanu b'peh.
U'viyamenu recently himtziu haroifim
samam asher moil k'mo ya metzitzah." So
he says, "Is that okay? Do you have to
do metzitzah b'peh?" So says the
Tziyeish Chayes, "K'var hoireh shokeik
hagoyim boifis sador, Ram Moshe Sofer
zal of Pressburg."
Also known as the Chasam Sofer. "K'mo
Moshe isei mitzvas bishmo bisforim
chadashim ki ikar metzitzah lach mishum
sakana." The Chasam Sofer said that the
real purpose of metzitzah is mishum
sakana. Like the gemara says in Maseches
Shabbos, "Hai umna d'vuin mayis sakana
d'mavir eis." But moil doesn't want to
do metzitzah b'peh. You see, it was a
topic back then, even in the gemara. So
on umna d'roifim that doesn't want to do
metzitzah d'mavir eis, why in the gemara
says because sakana? So he said, "I've
seen printed bishaim the Chasam Sofer
that kol sheyeish lo derech acher
shinifkam binisayin k'mo ilo hasra
sakana k'mo ya metzitzah." That it
doesn't necessarily have to be done
dafke b'peh. So whether he did or
whether the Chasam Sofer really said
this or not is very controversial. Ram
Shick held that that the Chasam Sofer
but then came the Keren Orah. I don't
have where abouts my paper. But the
bottom line is this. Says the Marches at
the end, "The Chaim Orah that metzitzah
doesn't have to be done dafke b'peh
midivrei haYalkut kapitel lamed nun. The
chashuv kol ha'eivorim asher oiseh
mitzvos." Because Dovid Hamelech goes
through all the eivorim that he uses and
how many times was milah mentioned in
that medrash? He said, "We do use the
the tziporen to do the priya. You have
the gid to do the milah and the priya.
You have the birkayim for the sandek.
Why didn't Dovid Hamelech mention that
he does metzitzah b'peh? When he
mentioned priya, he could have stayed on
the topic of milah. And he could have
mentioned b'peh. So he says, "Vice
versa, doesn't have to be b'peh." The
whole idea is just lo hashra'as sakana.
And being that it's lo hashra'as sakana,
it's not something that necessarily has
to be done. And then he says something.
We'll end with this. And that is that he
mentions that you know there's a
machaber in the last Kitzur Shulchan
Aruch in the
Hilchos Milah discusses a very
interesting minag. Once upon a time
there were two mohelim at a bris.
And one mohel would do the milah,
another mohel would do the priya. So
they would machavek one mohel with the
milah, another mohel with the priya. The
Shach says that you shouldn't do that on
Shabbos. So a milah bishabbos, which of
course is doicheh Shabbos, but you
shouldn't have two mohelim on Shabbos.
And the reason is because milah involves
chillul Shabbos.
And as a result, you don't want to have
a mohel do a chatzi mitzvah that's going
to be doicheh Shabbos. So if you're
going to do the entire mitzvah to be
doicheh Shabbos, then I hear. But to do
a chatzi mitzvah, to do the chaticha
tzorech orelah, which clearly involves
chillul Shabbos, that's why milah sh'lo
b'zmano is not doicheh Shabbos. So to do
a chaticha tzorech orelah without being
mikayem the mitzvah because moil lo
yifros kiulu ilo, we don't want that. So
if you're going to do the chaticha
tzorech orelah, you have to do the the
priya as well. Because we want you to
complete the mitzvah. Because only if
you're completing the mitzvah is it
doicheh Shabbos. So even though there
was this minag Yisrael that there were
two mohelim, there was one mohel that
did the milah, one mohel that did the
priya, stating that, says the Binyan
Tzion, brought down in Shulchan Aruch in
the last Kitzur in Hilchos Milah, not to
do it on Shabbos. The Rama argues. The
Rama says it's okay. You get one mohel
could do the milah, one mohel could do
the priya even on Shabbos. And even
though you're not finishing the mitzvah,
you don't have the priya, doesn't
matter. As long as you do a part of it,
that's going to be okay. You know what
the Rama's raya is? Kotzn. His raya is
because they used to do the avodah in
the Beis Hamikdash. And a kohen would
get up and he would do the shchita. Even
though shchita was only part of the
avodah, you had to do kabala, halacha,
and zrika, still we know there was a
who rolled the way. It always was. And
the kohen that did the shchita was left
after the one that was going to do the
kabala, halacha, zrika. There's even a
tumel of a who was able to do the
shchita on Shabbos. But Rashi, perek
arba achim, amud sameach gimmel amud
beis, right we've spoken about. But the
point is is that you didn't need one
client to do the shchita kabbalah
l'chatzos I how could I do the shchita?
It's only a chatzi avodah. The truth is,
it's true it's only a chatzi avodah.
But, we're assuming that you're going to
fear ice avodah. And being that it's
part of an avodah, the possuk it's
something that's okay. So, it's the same
thing says the Ramah. You're right,
chitas
is not the entire maiseh milah, but it's
part of the milah and being that it's
part of the milah milah itself is
shabbos, it's for that reason it's going
to be okay. The Maiseh
the Tzeisch Chayis says that you know
the minag today is that people don't
have two milahs, they have three milahs.
It's fascinating. They have one milah
would do the milah, another milah would
do the priyah, and then they would
somebody to do the they would somebody
to do metzitzah. And he says that he
heard that in the kehilla of Brod on
shabbos they follow the Bais Yosef and
they don't have not three, not two, they
only have one. That they only have one
and the he says he doesn't really
understand because the maiseh d'halacha
is like the Ramah. But, then he said he
heard that there are kehillahs that on
shabbos they do two. And they knock out
the one person that's going to do
metzitzah. So, they
two as opposed to three. Brings what the
minag in Sulkaver was, that's where he
was from. But, the bottom line is is
that he says that he heard that there
are places with that follow the Ramah.
Say yes, two milahs, but not three. Not
three, they take out the metzitzah and
he's mamish matmir. He says cuz
metzitzah is the one you have the least
concern about. Cuz metzitzah is all
about sakana. And being that metzitzah
is all about sakana, so sakana certainly
would this is a question of pikuach
nefesh. So, he says you want to tell me
you want to go mamish like the Bais
Yosef? I hear. I mean, that's something
I can't. You know, even though we pasken
like the Ramah and the Ramah said it's
okay, but you want to take on a chumrah,
you want to follow even in an Ashkenazi
shita of the minag of the Bais Yosef?
Okay, I hear. I'm not going to be goyer
on that. But, to go like the Ramah to
have two, but to say on shabbos we're
drawing the line we're not going to have
three, we're not going to allow somebody
to get up and do the metzitzah? That's a
that's a question of sakana on shabbos.
That's a question of sakana. Don't worry
about sakana, there's no question of
shabbos regardless. We have talked away
in this mishnah. Who would have thunk
it? See, you have a mishnah that
mentions a sakana possul which is
discussing halacha of melikah. Bottom
line is is that from this mishnah the
Orach Chaim felt there was a makor to
this kapeda to do priyah dafka with a
tzei priyah. Either way, zachter gemara
amara Rav said smol v'laila ein metamein
b'bais avliah. So, if the melikah was
done with the left hand or if it was
done at night, it's not metamein b'bais
avliah. ZAR v'SAKIN if a ZAR or some
other possul
did the melikah or if the melikah was
done with a sakin, so then it's so bad
that it even has tumas avliah. It's
metamein b'bais avliah. Says the gemara,
maishnos smol is l'hachshir b'yom
hakipurim. What's the reason that smol
is not metamein b'bais avliah? It's cuz
it's psulei bakodesh.
And like we spoke out, it's in ol
layardo. And being that the melikah
works with regards to an ol layardo,
it's considered a melikah with regards
to that it shouldn't be metamein b'bais
avliah. Now, why is smol in ol layardo?
It's because we find in another place
that you could do avodah with your left
hand. And once there's is lay shair of a
makom acher, that's enough of a reason
to say that it's going to be a ol
layardo. What's the makom acher that
smol is is lay shair? Yom Kippur. Yom
Kippur they used to use the left hand.
The k'tores on Yom Kippur involved both
hands. Rashi says not
to be a minag. That's a psul to be in
the hand to use his left hand. It's for
that reason it's for that reason that
you find is lay shair of a makom acher
and that's why it's a ol layardo. That's
why it's not metamein b'bais avliah.
Laila also is lay. Where do you find
avodah b'laila? That's easy. Layvav
u'mtorein. All haktores was done at
night. ZAR nami fake the gemara is lay
shair b'shchita. But, if that's the
case, why did Rav say ZAR v'SAKIN
metamein b'bais avliah? Which would
suggest in ol layardo l'chaira ZAR also
has a shair of a makom acher. Which
would make it an ol layardo as it
relates to an ois, it should not be
metamein b'bais avliah. And where do you
find ZAR? You find ZAR b'shchita. ZAR
could do shchita. True, he can't do
melikah, but it's is lay shair of a
makom acher. Zochter gemara shchita lav
avodah. That's why it's is lay shair of
a makom acher. Is lay shair means
there's a place where you could do
avodah b'laila. There's a place where
there's an avodah that was done with
smol. The fact that a ZAR could do
shchita doesn't mean you found an
example where ZAR could do avodah.
To the contrary, shchita lav avodah.
But, the gemara says v'laila is that
true? And this is a a repeat of Zevachim
daf yud daled amud bais. Rav say Rav say
Rav said shchita is parah b'ZAR psulah.
This week's parsha read ZAR was not
allowed to do shchita of the parah
adumah. The reason is a lo chukah cuz it
says a lo and it says chukah. So,
everything that it says in the beginning
of parshas chukos is like it. But, the
bottom line is if you see that a ZAR
can't do shchita with the parah adumah,
doesn't that suggest that shchita is an
avodah? Otherwise, why would there be a
kapeda
for for a ZAR to do it? The gemara says
shani parah. The kochi b'da gabai they
bring a raya from parah. Parah adumah is
not kochi b'da even though looked like
kochi b'da gabai. It kochi b'da felt
like kochi b'da. Are you shochted it do
hazois, but it wasn't done in the makom
mikdash. It wasn't done in Har Habayis.
It was done on Har Hazaisim. It was done
in the Har Hamishkan. Noichach lav
avodah, but it wasn't actually done in
the Bais Hamikdash. Being that it wasn't
done in Bais Hamikdash, it's not even
kochi b'da. It was never brought in
mikdash. It's kochi b'da gabai. Kochi
b'da gabai is a whole 'nother story.
But, the gemara says like kochi
kochi b'da gabai kochi b'da kochi b'da.
Madach the shchita that you find by
kochi b'da gabai is the halacha is
that it requires
a kohein. Then certainly kochi b'da
should require kohein. Meaning,
certainly kochi b'da should be avodah.
So, the gemara says you're right. But,
amra Rav Idi Idi have a maiseh lav
avodah b'yei kuna. Meaning, just because
something requires kohein doesn't
necessarily mean it's an avodah. It's
true, the shchita of the parah adumah
requires kohein. So, from that
standpoint it would be logical to say
that shchita is an avodah. And even
though shchita is k'shaira b'ZAR, it
doesn't mean it's not an avodah. To the
contrary, you have a where ZAR is
allowed to do avodah. Which would make
it an ol layardo. Which would make it
not be metamein tumas b'bais avliah.
But, the gemara says no. The reason
shchita is k'shaira b'ZAR is because
shchita is really lav avodah. So, there
is no example of where ZAR is able to do
avodah. You can do shchita. Shchita lav
avodah. If shchita lav avodah,
why do you need a kohein for shchitas
parah adumah? So, the gemara says we did
have a maiseh
don't you need a kohein in parshas
Tazria you need a kohein for tumas
negah? Just because you need a kohein
doesn't by definition mean that it's an
avodah. Bottom line is shchita lav
avodah. Shchita lav avodah, there's no
example of where you find that a ZAR is
able to do shchita. Therefore, it's an
ol layardo and therefore it's going to
be metamein tumas b'bais avliah. The
gemara says the nail of mebom. I still
have an example where a ZAR is able to
do an avodah. True, not shchita. But, I
have an example where ZAR is able to do
an avodah. Find the bomis. So, why don't
we say that it's is lay shair of a makom
acher? So, again it shouldn't be
metamein tumas b'bais avliah. So, the
gemara says mebom layal. If you can't
learn from bom. Rashi says the bom
is like gabai mikdash. Nice loshon
Rashi. Bom
relative to mikdash is like that's not
considered is lay shair of a makom
acher. But, the gemara says v'laila is
that true? The answer is yes it's an ol
layardo. How do you know if part of the
korban became psul yoitzai, the halacha
is an ol layardo. So,
the gemara says shani yoitzai kochi b'da
bom. Now, you know that because yoitzai
is kochi psul yoitzai by a bom. Why not?
There's no chitzos by a bom. But, the
bottom line is is that you see from
there that the fact that something is is
lay shair of a bom is a reason to say an
ol layardo. So, say the same thing
regarding the ZAR. So, the gemara says
yoitzai is like the real reason that
there's an ol layardo by psul yoitzai is
not because it's kochi b'da bom. The
real reason is cuz of a possuk like
yoitzai as I
will. But, that is agav the gemara just
mentions like a remez, but it's not the
real makor. Because you can't use is lay
shair of a bom as a real makor. So,
what's the bottom line? Rav Shita is
that if a ZAR would do melikah, the
halacha is it would be tamei tumas
b'bais avliah. It's like an imp psulei
bakodesh. And the reason is because
the halacha would be if a ZAR would do
melikah, it would be an ol layardo
because you don't find anywhere that a
ZAR could do avodah. It's is lay shair
of a makom acher. I I have two examples
where ZAR could do avodah. ZAR could do
shchita. That's an avodah. Shchita lav
avodah. Or ZAR could do avodah in a bom.
Yeah, bom k'lapi mikdash that's like
that's like saying ZAR could do chul.
That's not considered is lay shair of a
makom acher. Therefore, the halacha is
it's going to be tamei tumas b'bais
avliah.
ZAR ein metamein b'bais avliah. It's
only sakin that's metamein b'bais
avliah. So, Rav Yochanan argues he said
that a ZAR is not metamein b'bais
avliah. In essence, we have a machlokes
Rav and Rav Yochanan whether ZAR that
does melikah is a metamein b'bais avliah
is a not metamein b'bais avliah. Great
the gemara. T'na we don't t'na mishnah.
What was the first line of the mishnah?
Kol hap'sulin shemalku mikosam psula.
Pishla me Rav Yochanan. Pishla me
according to Rav Yochanan kol lasuya
ZAR. I understand why it says kol. It's
even coming to be marbeh ZAR. Ela l'Rav
kol lasuya mai? What's it coming to be
marbeh? So, the gemara says lasuya smol
v'laila. Meaning, what did the reisha of
the mishnah say? Kol hap'sulin shemalku
mikosam psula and it's not metamein
b'bais avliah. So, isn't it a meforesh
mishnah? Now, it's interesting that the
gemara doesn't ask from the fact that
it's a meforesh mishnah. I mean, really
it's a meforesh mishnah. Kol hap'sulin.
What does kol hap'sulin mean? Means all
the psulin. Usually it's a reference to
the first mishnah of the second perek
that talks about the yoishav and and the
ZAR and the the whole list of
psulin that are not allowed to do
avodahs.
They can't do kabbalah l'chatzos they
could do shchita. And now the mishnah is
saying they can't do melikah. And not
only can't they do melikah, but it's not
going to be metamein b'bais avliah. But,
it it seems to be a meforesh mishnah.
Kol hap'sulin shemalku mikosam psula
v'einam metamein b'bais avliah.
>> And you would think that's the cash but
it's not the cash.
The word call call is last year isn't it
coming last year is
the ask the cash so why did the ask from
the mission and the says because the
mission itself you can think is maybe
referring to a tournament. A tournament
that does the for sure that is going to
be a year to and for sure that is going
to be that it's not the base of Leah.
And the reason is because
to play with people. So without the word
call had it just said
I would have thought that it's referring
to mayor. But being that it says call
and call is last year. So it's really
it's coming to be all the other
such as the and the etc. So to write to
to ask
call last
call last year may. So they says last
year is small the light of the year. You
know it's coming to be that people that
are physically possible. But if it was
done in a way of it was done with the
left.
It was done at night. says small the
light of the year Tony. That's mentioned
before is in the mission. So the says
Tony the parish. So the mission of first
said it as a red mess. Call. The
light of the year and small. And then he
explained what
for previously we mentioned explicitly
small the light of the year. The says
touch my ears. You have no right from
the mission. But I think the beginning
of the mission but I think you have a
right from the end of the mission.
Right the rule of the end of the mission
was that anything that's that is not the
base of Leah.
Again it says call. That cloud is always
coming to be something. Last year is
coming to be bizarre. That is bizarre.
Who you would have thought maybe
is not the base of Leah. It's considered
the base of Leah and it's not the base
of Leah.
Last year may.
So the says who live according to you.
What are you going to be from the safe?
Just like there was a cloud and a call
in the ratio. Yeah there's a cloud in
the safe as well. It said
The is it's
the base of Leah. What's that coming to
be my bro? Hello ratio last must be
It's coming last year.
So as opposed to doing you would check
it. Safe for last year.
It's coming to be my
in the ratio. It's not the base of Leah.
And the safe it is the base of Leah. So
that those two things sound similar to
what the mission had discussed. But it's
not what the mission had discussed. The
mission had discussed cool in the
spring. Cool in the hood. Cool in the
spring. And cool in the hood. Here we're
discussing cool in the spring. And cool
in the hood. The bottom line is cool in
the spring. The is it's the base of
Leah. The is it's not the base of Leah.
Cool in the hood is the base of Leah.
And therefore it is the base of Leah.
That is bizarre. That does the cool. It
is not the base of Leah.
If a bizarre did the cool. Cool or any
possible that matter did the cool.
Ain't
the base of Leah.
I heard two things.
One regarding bizarre. And the other one
regarding bizarre. There is by
And by the other one
and I'm not sure which one is and which
one is there.
He said
bro It's time to get
Now by the is going to be there. But by
the is going to be there. Says the
why?
Why do you think that
should be
Why do you think that should be there?
Because it's there and there. And if
it's related
What's this
with
You could do on a bomber.
You could do on a bomber. Just like you
could bring it on a bomber. You could
bring a on a bomber as well. So has the
same
that has.
And if you're going to tell me that
there aren't this holds is no bomber is
then for the same price in is not a
bomber. You have to say there's no
bomber.
Because already said
Yes it's a bomber.
The two are told me they have a say
There's a bomber. There's a bomber. And
if there's no there's no is.
It says in the term when the term talks
about bringing on a bomber.
It says the word walk. So either you
walk in then it's
a way to walk in or you don't walk in.
And then you have this and you have
this.
You can't have it both ways.
How could you distinguish and
differentiate between a
and between the night.
Cool is the same whether the cool is
done on a bomber or the cool is done on
It's an that was cool. You do the cool
with your finger nail. In one case
you're doing it you're being on the
back. In the other case you're being on
a bomber. But the
cool is fundamentally different. If you
do the cool in the cool if you do it on
a bomber. If you do it in the cool you
have to have a
is the
the cool is being done from a is. If you
do it on the or on a bomber there's no
is involved. necessarily need a coin.
It's a different type of cool. For that
type of cool it's going to be okay. But
as a And if that type of cool is going
to be okay. So this cool of a bomber and
the cool of the
are the same cool. Thus we view it as
there and there. As opposed to the cool
the cool of a bomber and the cool
are not the same cool. Being that
they're not the same cool one is from
one is not from is. It's for that we
don't look at it as there
the cool. The previous rate by we
discussed the end of safe for small
where God
reveals himself to the king. And he
tells David I want you to buy the field
of a rabid a busy a rabid the Jebusite.
And it's on that field that I want you
to build the back. And I want you to
bring us
to our college park. And as we went
through based on
and soaking that event of God closer
telling David the king to buy that field
wasn't just a one-off event but really
it was a coming full circle for
something that is expressed over 20
times in the tire. Where our college
park says that when the are going to
enter Canaan there's going to be a time
there's going to be a place where I am
going to identify one coin in the land
that should be the
gift card that's going to be as we
discussed my house
and it's there that I want you to bring
us moving forward. It's there that I'm
going to want you to come visit me three
times a year.
Safe for my walking
picks up exactly where safe for small
ends off. And that is with David the
king's son small mayor going and not
just bringing
us on the going in of a rabid a busy.
But he actually builds the base of cash.
Takes some years to build. And the time
finally arrives for all the to come from
all over the world and celebrate in the
inauguration this very very monumental
event the cool of the base of cash. And
in
the says that small mayor is is in the
base of cash. He's standing in front of
the back. Negative call call Israel. In
the presence of literally all the Jews.
The
cup of
mine. And then he lifts his hands up to
the heavens.
The
and he he says a feel.
He turns to our college park. And he
says that I want this place to be a
place. It's a feel. That if a year would
come and would have him you would listen
to his feels. Who found this out feels
That your eyes are going to be open to
this place by night and by day.
This is the place that you told David
the king you want to rest your now.
And then he goes on and starts
describing different feels that you
didn't make David.
The measure of the race. And he asks our
college park who please answer those
feels.
Says for example if there's going to be
a year that's going to sin.
And he's going to want you to promise me
I shall that if he comes to this place.
He comes to the cool of cash. That you
are going to answer his feel. He says if
there's ever going to be a time in
history where he
might be a mother. There's going to be a
famine and people are going to be
starving. The crops aren't going to
be growing. If you didn't come and they
have in here please our college park who
I'm asking you I'm begging of you. Tell
me that if they have in here you're
going to answer their feel. He said
What if there's a for? There's going to
be a time where people are dying. And
they're not going to know where to turn.
They're not going to know what to do.
I'm begging from you I shall. If they
are going to come and they're going to
have in here promise me that you're
going to answer their feel. If someone's
going to have someone in their family
that's not well.
And they're going to go to the doctor
and the doctor is going to say I can't
help you.
Promise me that if they come to this
place right here the cool of cash that
you're going to answer their feel. And
he goes on and on and on. There's going
to be a war and there's going to be that
are going out into battle and they're
going into harm's way. And they're going
to be scared and they're going to be
nervous and maybe the odds are going to
be stacked against them. Promise me
that if they're going to come to this
place and they're going to have him
you're going to answer their tfila.
He goes on and on. It's 50 plus psukim
of HaMelech thinking of any tfila
that a Yid may ever daven in his
lifetime that would come to Hakadosh
Baruchu and he would daven for in this
place. And he says, "Hashem, I'm asking
you one thing, that if the tfila happens
here, please listen." It was a big ask.
It was a big ask. HaMelech was
never told that this is what the Beis
HaMikdash was going to be. Beis
HaMikdash was a place where the Yidden
would bring korbanos. Beis HaMikdash was
a place where they would come, the oileh
regel, three times a year.
HaMelech raised the ante.
HaMelech goes out on a limb and he says,
"Eibishter, I'm asking you, make this
place a makom tfila. Make this a place
that if a Yid comes and davens, al kol
tzarah shelo yitaveh, 50 psukim of
description of what that tzarah might
look like, that you are going to
answer." And HaMelech finishes
his tfila
and he waits and the Yidden are
standing around him and they're waiting
and there's a deafening silence in the
room. And then all of a sudden, the
pasuk says, "Vayeira Hashem el
sheinis." Hakadosh Baruchu revealed
himself for the second time
to HaMelech. K'she'ne'era eilav
b'Giv'on, years earlier, Hakadosh
Baruchu had revealed himself to
HaMelech. That was the first time. This
is the second time. Vayomer Hashem
eilav, and Hashem tells "Shamati
es tfilasecha, es tchinasecha, asher
hitchananta lefanai. I heard your
tfilos. Hikdashti es habayis hazeh, I
was mikadesh this bayis, asher banisa,
that you built, lasum shmi sham ad
oilam, v'hayu einai v'libi sham kol
hayamim. You asked
and I answered. You asked that if at any
time in the future a Yid is going to
come and a Yid is going to daven and
he's going to ask for something, I
should listen to his tfila, that this
should be a place that will have a
special koach tfila that no other place
in the world has.
Granted. V'hayu einai v'libi sham kol
hayamim. You go through these psukim, I
can't go through all these psukim right
now, they're very, very moving.
But there's one idea that I think is
worth mentioning. And that is, Hakadosh
Baruchu's response was, "V'hayu einai
v'libi sham kol hayamim." The Chasam
Sofer, in one of his teshuvos about
Eretz Yisrael, it's in Yoreh De'ah,
siman reish lamed daled. The teshuvah
was written to Reb Efraim Zalman
Margolies. It's a teshuvah that as a
chaburah we're going to go through more
during the course of this trip.
Discuss, what exactly does it mean,
"V'hayu einai v'libi sham kol hayamim"?
Specifically, Reb Efraim Zalman
Margolies asked the Chasam Sofer that
the pasuk says regarding Eretz Yisrael,
"It's a eretz asher einah Hashem
Elokecha bah, meireishis hashana v'ad
acharisah." The whole land, the whole
country is a place that Hakadosh Baruchu
has his eyes on. But it seems like the
Makom HaMikdash is not just a place
where Hakadosh Baruchu's einayim are
affixed to, but it's "V'hayu einai
v'libi sham kol hayamim." And Reb Efraim
Zalman Margolies asked the Chasam Sofer,
"What's the difference between einai and
einai v'libi? It sounds like the whole
country is eretz asher einah Hashem
Elokecha bah, but the Makom HaMikdash is
"V'hayu einai v'libi sham kol hayamim."
And the Chasam Sofer writes back in this
teshuvah to Reb Efraim Zalman Margolies,
"I'll tell you the truth. He says,
'Years ago I heard a teretz, it was al
pi kabbalah, and I don't really
understand it.'" Imagine, Chasam Sofer
saying the teretz is above his pay
grade. "I'll tell you the words and you
can make of it whatever you want to make
of it. But lulei demistafina, I think
it's kedai to tell to a meshech
chochmah. That's not just a classic
meshech chochmah, but it's a classic Ben
Ish Chai
classic meshech chochmah.
Where Reb Simcha of Dvinsk literally
addressed this point.
We know that a Yid every day puts on
tfillin. Tfillin shel yad, tfillin shel
rosh. The tfillin is made up of four
parshiyos, right? What's inside the
tfillin? There's four parshiyos of the
Torah. Shema, V'hayah im shamoa, Kadesh,
Vayeh ki veyachol. Four parshiyos in the
Torah, that's what makes up the tfillin.
Stating that there's a difference
between the tfillin shel rosh and the
tfillin shel yad. The tfillin shel rosh
has the four parshiyos in four batim.
They're in four different compartments.
The tfillin shel yad, all four parshiyos
are in one bayis. And Reb Simcha in
parshas Bo, on the mitzvah of tfillin,
he says, "Why is it that the tfillin
shel rosh is made up of four batim and
the tfillin shel yad is made up of only
one bayis?" Says Reb Simcha, "I'll tell
you pshat al derech pnimiyus haTorah."
Says the Gemara says in the first perek
in meseches Brachos, that just like the
Yidden put on tfillin every day,
Hakadosh Baruchu also puts on tfillin
every day. We put on tfillin shel yad
and tfillin shel rosh. Hakadosh Baruchu
also puts on tfillin shel yad and
tfillin shel rosh. And the Gemara says,
"Hanich tfillin d'maryei alma mach
sivbei." What does it say in the
Eibishter's tfillin? Our tfillin is
Shema, V'hayah im shamoa, Kadesh, Vayeh
ki veyachol. What does it say in the
tfillin of Hakadosh Baruchu? So the
Gemara says, "You want to know what it
says in the tfillin of Hakadosh Baruchu?
Mi chamcha Yisrael echad ba'aretz.
Asher Yisrael am noysha b'Hashem." The
tfillin of Hakadosh Baruchu have
parshiyos that talk about how amazing
Klal Yisrael is. It's parshiyos that
bring out how special we are and how
Hakadosh Baruchu views us differently
than he views all the other nations of
the world. Says Reb Simcha, Hakadosh
Baruchu told HaMelech, "V'hayu
einai v'libi sham kol hayamim." What's
the difference between einai v'libi?
This is the question that Reb Efraim
Zalman Margolies asked the Chasam Sofer,
where the Chasam Sofer said the teretz I
heard is a shtick of above my pay grade.
Says Reb Simcha, "I'm going to tell you
poshet pshat. Einai means Hakadosh
Baruchu says, 'I'm looking at you.' It's
a hashgacha protis. Einai means I have
my eyes on you. I'm watching you."
Hakadosh Baruchu says that in the Makom
HaMikdash, einai, I am going to see you.
I'm going to be watching you. Libi means
that I'm going to care for you.
I'm going to want you. I'm going to love
you.
Eretz Yisrael is
a place that einah Hashem Elokecha bah,
meireishis hashana v'ad acharisah.
The Makom HaMikdash Hakadosh Baruchu
said was a place "V'hayu einai v'libi
sham kol hayamim." Says Reb Simcha,
a person puts on tfillin shel rosh, it
should be on the moach, like we say in
the leshem yichud, if you say the leshem
yichud. A person puts on tfillin shel
yad, it should be connected to the leiv,
as we say in the leshem yichud, if you
say the leshem yichud. Says Reb Simcha
something incredible. He says that as it
relates to the tfillin shel rosh of
Hakadosh Baruchu, as it relates to the
fact that Hakadosh Baruchu says, "Einai,
I'm watching the Yidden," over there,
Klal Yisrael is divided into four
groups. Why four groups? Everybody knows
that we take dalet minim on Sukkos to
represent the four types of Yidden. You
have the min that has a ta'am v'reiach,
that represents the tzaddik. You have
the min that has no ta'am and no reiach,
that represents the rasha. And then
there's ta'am b'reiach and there's
reiach b'lo ta'am. Says Reb Simcha, the
Yidden are divided into four groups.
When it comes to the hashgacha of
Hakadosh Baruchu, when it comes to the
fact that Hakadosh Baruchu watches us,
doesn't see all the Yidden in the same
way. How could he? If there's a Yid
that's a shomer Torah u'mitzvos and then
there's a Yid that's not a shomer Torah
u'mitzvos, it's impossible for them to
be viewed as the same way. And that's
why the tfillin shel rosh of the
Eibishter, which is connected to "V'hayu
einai," that's divided into four groups,
because really Hashem looks at the four
types of Yidden in four different ways.
But the tfillin shel yad, which is
connected to the leiv, that represents
the ahavah that Hakadosh Baruchu has for
Klal Yisrael. Says Reb Simcha, when it
comes to the love that Hashem has for
Klal Yisrael, it makes no difference if
you're the tzaddik that has a ta'am
v'reiach, if you're the rasha that has
no ta'am and no reiach, or if you have a
reiach b'lo ta'am and a ta'am b'lo
reiach, because we're all banim laHashem
Elokeichem, u've'ein kach u've'ein kach
kruyim banim. And being that u've'ein
kach u've'ein kach kruyim banim, there's
no four compartments. Every Yid is a Yid
because he's a Yid. And they're all the
same. And that's why we don't divide the
Yidden. When it comes to hashgacha, says
Reb Simcha, we have no choice. We have
to divide the Yidden. But when it comes
to the leiv of Hakadosh Baruchu, when it
comes to the ahavah, the love that
Hakadosh Baruchu has for Klal Yisrael,
we're all the children of Hakadosh
Baruchu. And being that we're all the
children of Hakadosh Baruchu, it doesn't
matter if we're we're doing is right or
if what we're doing is wrong. Sometimes
the ahavah parent could have for a child
is greater if he's doing what's wrong
than if he's doing what's right, because
absence sometimes makes the heart grow
fonder. But the reality is there's no
four batim when it comes to the tfillin
shel yad, because the tfillin shel yad
is connected to the leiv. That
represents the ahavah, the love that
Hakadosh Baruchu has. And when it comes
to the ahavah, u've'ein kach u've'ein
kach kruyim banim, a Yid is a Yid is a
Yid.
And as a result, we're all the same.
Eretz Yisrael is a land that einah
Hashem Elokecha bah, meireishis hashana
v'ad acharisah. A Yid that lives in
Eretz Yisrael there's a special
hashgacha. The Rabbeinu Bachya talks
about it throughout his Pirkei Avos
d'Rebbe Eliezer. We have several Rebbe
Bachya's on this topic. In chutz
la'aretz, we're underneath the mamshalah
of different intermediaries. The
hashgacha protis that a Yid has when he
lives in Eretz Yisrael is different.
That's what the Gemara says in the end
of Kesubos, kol hadar b'chutz la'aretz,
domeh k'mi she'ein lo Elokim, because he
doesn't have the same level of hashgacha
protis. And that's the idea of eretz
asher einah Hashem Elokecha bah,
meireishis hashana v'ad acharisah. But
HaMelech davened to Hakadosh
Baruchu. His tfila was that when a Yid
comes to this place, when a Yid comes to
the Makom HaMikdash and he davens,
Eibishter, don't judge him. Don't look
at if he's a Yid that has a ta'am
v'reiach, he's reiach b'lo ta'am, ta'am
b'lo reiach, or b'lo ta'am b'lo reiach.
You should look at a Yid because he's a
Yid. And answer his tfila, whether his
tfila is because he did aveiros and he's
asking for slicha, whether his tfila is
because he doesn't have parnassah,
there's a rav ba'aretz, whether his
tfila is that there's a kol nega and
there's a kol machlah and he's asking
for a refuah, whether his tfila is he's
about to go out to war and he's hoping
that he's going to come back alive and
he's going to be successful. Regardless
of what his tfila is, don't judge him."
And the Eibishter turned to
HaMelech, and the Aibershter said, "Your
wish has been granted." Eretz Canaan,
Eretz Yisrael as a whole, is Eretz Asher
Inecha Asher Melecha Bah. But Eretz
Yisrael B'frat, when it comes to the
Makom Hamikdash, when it comes to the
Beit Hamikdash, over there it's going to
be Ainei V'libi Sham Kol Hayamim. Over
there, I promise you, Hashem tells
HaMelech, "I'm not just going to
look, but I'm going to feel. I'm going
to open up my heart, and over there no
one's going to be judged. Over there, it
doesn't matter who you are. Ki Veisi
Beit T'filah Yikarei L'chol Ha'amim. For
everybody, even for the Umos Ha'Olam.
It's going to be a place where Hakadosh
Baruch Hu says, "I'll answer your
t'filah, regardless, regardless of your
background, and regardless of how you
live your life, and exactly who it is
you are." But if you are medayek
L'shonei Hazav of the pasuk, what did
the Aibershter say? V'einai V'libi Sham
Kol Hayamim. We're not going to digress
into lomdus now, but it's brought in the
Rambam in Perek Zayin Hilchos Beit
Habechirah, and it's brought in the
Ra'avad over there, and in the Noam
Elimelech, that when Hashem said Kol
Hayamim, what he meant to say was Kol
Hayamim Ad Hayom Hazeh. Regardless of
whether the Makom Hamikdash has kedushah
today, doesn't have kedushah today, you
could go on the Har Habayit, you can't
go on the Har Habayit, has nothing to do
with this conversation. Here, the
Aibershter could not have been more
clear. V'einai V'libi Sham Kol Hayamim.
I think it's poshut. Every Yid comes to
the Kosel, every Yid comes to the Makom
Hamikdash, and he feels he feels
different. This This is something a
little bit different.
And if I may, I think he feels like he
belongs here. He feels like
he just feels like he belongs. People
come, they put on their pop-up
yarmulkes, and they start crying, and
they start davening like they've never
davened in their lives. It's a real
feeling. It's a real feeling, cuz this
is a place where Hakadosh Baruch Hu's
heart is open. And because Hakadosh
Baruch Hu's heart is open, it's a place
where the Aibershter promised
HaMelech, V'einai V'libi Sham Kol
Hayamim. Ki Shamati Es T'filascha V'es
T'chinasecha Asher Chanan Ta'l'fanai.
Hikdashti Es Habayit Hazeh Asher Banisi
L'sum Sh'mi Sham Ad Olam. V'einai V'libi
Sham Kol Hayamim. This has nothing to do
with what was. This has nothing to do
with what will be. This is the way it is
right now, today, in Golus, today, deep
in Golus, in a world of Anoichi Aster
Hester Panai Bayom Hahu. In a world
where maybe we're all judging each other
too much, but this is a place where the
Aibershter is not judging anybody. This
is a place where we're all on one bias.
It's a place where you Ainei V'libi Sham
Kol Hayamim. We should be zocheh that
all of our t'filos here in the Makom
Hamikdash should be answered, and we
should be zocheh to
have the Shechinah come down, where it's
going to be B'galei B'herbei Meinu Amen.
