The story of the gatic of Ilna occupies
many great lore in the Jewish people. He
was killed on the second day of
shuis
and on the second day of
shuis levenson the son-in-law of would
always recount the story of the gatc of
INA. He was burned to death because he
refused to renounce Judaism. You need to
know that the death of the gek of has
implications until today it it changed
and I'm going to talk about
that. You know there's an
idea that the sun rises and the sun sets
that hashem does not bring sunset until
first the sun rises. There's an idea
that when a sadic passes on another
sadic takes his place. Did you know on
the day of the petira of the gat the day
he was murdered was the day of the birth
of
Kayimn was born on the day that the
gatsic was killed. When the gat sedic
was burned to death the town that
supplied the wood for his death burnt
down. When they burnt him in the town
square it caused such a sensation in
heaven. The building opposite was
stained black from smoke. Now, I think
he was burned pretty close to our
hotel
and they tried to repaint it. No, the
black came through. They repainted it.
The black came through until they had to

handed down from father to son, from
Rebi to Talmud with like in a secret

1660 there was a very powerful wealthy
individual. We call him Duke Patutsky. A
very unusual man. He had unusual
characteristics. He acquired 999
properties just so that people should
talk about it. You know if he would have
had a thousand who would who would talk
about it? But he w his name Patsky was
the name of royalty in this area. He had
a son
Valentine. Valentine was destined for
greatness. So he groomed him to become a
bishop. He sent him off to a special
school with a friend
Zaramba. And he was showing so much
promise they sent him to France. And as
this Valentine is studying the Old
Testament, the New Testament, nah, it
doesn't jive. There's something there's
something missing over here. And he
explored Judaism. And he ran off to
Amsterdam where he converted to Judaism.
His parents got word that their son not
only abandoned the faith, but also
converted to Judaism. And they're
searching for him. He knew he couldn't
be safe in Amsterdam. So he thinks,
where's the furthest place on the end of
the
