so Malaysia welcome to the bottom
friends from Carlos Springs Florida
where the Sun is nice and bright we'll
talk about the carpets Higham and the
Babich a second installment the puppet
Shyam everyone knows wrote a safer wrote
a holy book called Ferris Adam where he
talks about the beauty of man of a
Jewish person having a beard okay
that came as a response to an earlier
essay that he wrote in a in a pamphlet
called little Israel where he permitted
as a one-time on a one-time basis for
American Jews who had wrote written to
him asking for permission to remove
their beard so he told them it's
permissible by using scissors he never
thought that it would become the norm
and it became the norm and it was then
when he when he wrote immediately the
safer to Pharaoh said them to retract
what he wrote and it's a you throw
because he saw it's getting out of hand
but I want to talk about what his own
son barri labor Accords in the biography
that he wrote about his father which is
very important to give you an insight
into the relationship between the carpet
scallion and calcium the relationship
between Mubarak I see them in the carpet
sky and many very interesting and
important information one can glean from
that biography so he says they're after
the carpets Khayyam pub publicized his
Hector is permission given to the
American people who asked him about
removing the beard in the in his Contras
in his essay nucleus RAL
he says Labov I shall see them in Europe
who heard about it were very upset and
they were upset for two reasons one that
he didn't take into consideration or
they thought he didn't take into
consideration the ruling of the semak's
addicts which says under any
circumstance any and all circumstances
he's now allowed to remove your beard
and he easy trim it but truly not to
remove it because it's desecrating the
prohibition the Torah provision of my
syllabus don't don't look like a woman
don't dress like a woman and also the
fat
that he publicized his ruling in other
words even if you don't accept that some
ascetics ruling but the fact that you
publicize ahead there they saw in this a
terrible outcome and they were a hundred
percent right because later the
conference crime realized what is had
their accomplished so you right away
retracted the header and I think this is
an important lesson for us today and it
reminds me also of the heck they're a
bunch of Langston gave on a one-time
basis to a particular administrator who
asked about using non call of Heathrow
milk in a school in a Jewish school out
somewhere in Pennsylvania I think was
during the 50s early 60s in other words
the circumstances were such that there
wasn't money to pay for all of his role
so he gave ahead there and what has
become from that Hector that people
living in Borough Park in Flatbush in
the five towns in Los Angeles in Chicago
in Miami they say they can have a store
right around the corner which sells
called Israel and meanwhile they'll buy
some of them some of them call of Occam
why because I might show permits it well
you didn't really read the responsive
out of my show he permitted it you know
in a dire situation at a certain time to
a certain person of a certain
institution it wasn't a flat-out Hitler
but now so many years later people don't
know about that they don't care about it
and we have to change the tide so the
Obama should see them back in the in the
in the nineteen tens 20s at the time
when the Tropic sky and gave that Hitler
they had far vision and they saw that
publicizing such a heckler is going to
lead to a problem and this we have to
conclude and remind ourselves that not
only for the barbecues is it
inappropriate is it forbidden to share
your beards and even trim your beers
but forget about the holo issue I don't
mean forget in the callous way of course
I left as the bottom line but the
blessings that the ZOA says and it isn't
just for a kebab Nikhil of course it is
for every Jew the blessings that the
Tsar says that you have for wearing a
full complete beard without trimming it
is part no sir should do him money
happiness shelling bias we all complain
about this issue of that issue here you
have already made investment that cost
you nothing and even the argument that
for shidduchim I find easier Ashida if I
trim my beard or I cut my beard is
baloney it's not true on the contrary if
you have a beard a full beard and
untrimmed beard and you stick to your
principles the potential girl will say
this is who I want because he is a true
godly fearing person
