okay it's a great honor to be here in
the
monotone
sh uh one of the shs that survived the
Holocaust as we heard a very high
percentage of the community
unfortunately was killed in the
Holocaust I want to just take a few
moments to speak about one of The
Luminaries that lived here in
salonica this is a Torah Sage that we're
all Amil with his Works anyone who
learned in Yesa heard of
the is one of the classic commentaries
on the
Ron now most people cannot distinguish
between the K mishna the mag mishna and
the mean if you ask
somebody which one is more authoritative
which one do we follow who wrote
what well the C Mish was written by the
B that we know that's the B commentary
on the
ra he's a student of
the who is a student
of okay
now he's a student of he's also a of
Mahar we're going to talk about Mah KH
in a
moment
nowon if you look in the the sh many
people have misread this line in the
sh sh
writes
that so many people
mistakenly understand it to mean thaton
wrote three books book number one you
should have the sheet I want to show you
inside many people read it he wrote the
book he wrote the
book which is his ch and he wrote
the the only thing is you could look far
and wide there is
no but people sayot the
famous there is no you will never find
a it's the's poetic license saying he
wrote two works with the word in it
number one and number two now if you
look in the
the says that in the year 1575 he got a
hold of the K
mishna now when he started writing why
was he writing the ra because the r
never wrote sources the r writes and we
never know where did the ramam get this
from so the was giving us the M of the r
but then he got a hold of the Mish the
Mish already did that so in 1575 when he
got up
to he stopped writing
for the r and from there on he writes
tus on the
r the is not used so
much it's not used so much when I say
that I mean we don't always or usually
follow what he says like we do the C
mishna and the mag mishna there are a
few reasons for that one reason is there
are certain rules that we know the Rah
followed that we're not sure why the
wasn't using I'll just give you two
quick examples
there's a famous the in the rambam the
rambam's most noted rule is that when it
comes to Mid you shouldn't be extreme
you should go right the middle path
everybody knows the golden path but the
RAM famously applies this to all mid
including anger and including arrogance
and that's what the ran writes in par Al
and in per ra says there two M that you
do need to go to the extreme
what are they KAS and anos so it's a
famous the in the ram in other words
when it comes to humility and anger
should you take a moderate approach or
should you go to the extreme be very
humble should you go to extreme and be
very
calm so tries to answer the the ra but
if you look
in says Ste the r look in the
Paras and
the ra says
basically you should always go to
extreme even by even by G it's a
Gaz that we have to go
to I'm sorry you should always take the
middle path and but it's
a not to go to uh not to take the
moderate path for and we have to
go so in other words for some
reason did not follow what the ram said
in theas even though we know now that we
have theas that the ram will often be
following what he said in the here's
another rule what's if
you what what do you follow B Ori the
Riff writes you always follow the
B many times will ask a between the RAM
and the B
but the G teaches us that the rambam
will sometimes follow the USI over the
B but for some reason doesn't work with
that idea of the gr I want to end with
two interesting
points Ron was a student of the mahash
he was a of that we mentioned before
maram KH had a student did you ever hear
this name revid
RTO is the author of
K the K says that he's not happy with
the he says that his re K told him that
almost everything in
the the took from the when KH learned
the r with the and whatever came out in
that say there
from the recorded it but it's really
from Aram Khali that's what the koris
writes so that's one interesting point
but another interesting point is uh
Esther mentioned that in
1917 there was a big fire here in
salonica this I was unaware of in the
year sh shama is
1625 the entire city burnt down right is
that the correct date yes it is the
circle of the story
of but what's most notable is the day of
the year the city burnt down Salan burnt
down 1625 on
Tish and I was shocked by that because
we always say all the tragedies that
happened on Tish World War I broke out
on Tish the Jews were expelled from
England on Tish the Jews were expelled
from France on TSH in hundreds of years
ago and for some reason we never list
the confguration of Salan on Tish so I
think that's something we have to think
about the entire in fact the K writes
you have it on your sheet in number nine
that his
ream wrote many many and many
many and in 1625 when almost all the shs
and all the and all the burnt down all
the writings of his rebi maram Khali
burnt down on Tish okay one last thing
it's a of
chabas the passed a of chabas it was
getting very close to shabas they didn't
have the timing down like a tours where
you know were able to be like Nas into
you know we have it down to a science
but back then they came back from
the and they were that maybe they were m
shab in the and the so it seems like a
miracle happened that on their way home
from the burial of Raton the sun came
out and it shown to beim them that in
fact it was not the Shabbat yet and then
they were able to M shabas with a clear
conscious that they were not they didn't
desecrate the chabas in the final honor
of Ron so this is one of the great G
that lived here in
Salan and he was n on AR
chabas thank you very much you've just
