this tour class is brought to you by torahanytime.com hey bokatov we're here in usual we had a tremendous day yesterday and today we're spending the day in the usual I am we're headed toward the sanhedria cemetery where we have sadiqam uh we have rivari lavinas variedera and also rabavaji Yosef we're going to speak a little bit about yourself who revolutionized the observance of halacha and their attitude toward halacha of course always upheld the ideals of the basio safe the value is the rav of Earth Israel and his suck him needed to be abided by firstly even sardim who came from other countries who had been hug him to follow perhaps then in Arabs Israel his needed to be followed of course wrote the yavior imer which was ten volumes and Baruch Hashem now in 11th volume just came out posthumously and of course and many other swarim uh so we're headed toward one of the great luminaries of uh our own times uh just but besides the value of being the uh prodigious place that he was he was also tremendous maravitz Tyro he traveled the length and breadth of aristrell to give shurin and to teach Torah and in fact you held that the job of a rub of a rub of let's say of a city is primarily to give shirim and as as great as he valued writing shouts ravadio held that the job of a rub was Harvard so the value would take any means available he would even travel by helicopter to various areas in Arizona to be able to offer shirei torah's interesting with value son-in-law rev toledano when he was the Robin haifan and became known that he was willing to give shirim upon public request he was once invited to speak in a particular school and after accepting the invitation he he was told that the the school was co-ed that the boys and girls would learn together and he was uncomfortable the living delivering this year in those in that type of environment and he called rivervadia for advice and Roberto responded with the following beautiful line ravadio explained five words The Sun Shines for everyone which means Tyra is sunshine when the sun shines does not discriminate so too and one teaches Torah one teaches to yiddin and the light of it will illuminate and ultimately bring in the in the most proper and ideal Direction but when one has the opportunity to teach Torah one should not discriminate based on the circumstances and uh environment and that was an important attitude there without your head and that's why he was so unanimously and widely beloved because of his uh care and devotion and love to teach Tyra to everyone I'll just share with you a very interesting story in terms of the uh the tenacity and the strength of character um ravadio once was uh made was the prize of a comment of the writes that he heard from the zikaneous that there are two sparm of the reshine him that one cannot rework into a new format the banjo eater and Robin explains the reason is because of the valley come from something called the oil on the iskasaya the hidden realm and therefore anyone who reveals it or attempts to rework the text will either die at a young age or lose the manuscript and uh writes he knows of people who tried who made the efforts and uh and either they passed away or the manuscripts were lost so there was a young man by the name of ravia khazan he was learning in who had a who heard that there was a publishing house that was interested in releasing a new issue of rabini rukham and he was offered the opportunity to work on the project and actually he asked many godelistan they all said don't try it you have a wife you have children why are you tampering with what the heeda writes it's not worth the chance he then came to rivervadia and he said what should I do and without you said publish it publish it don't be afraid I will help you said what about comment says he said he heard from you but those provided they were wrong they were mistaken well what a courageous thing to say who's going to take on their shoulders some type of frightening report that no less than the himself accepted well began to work on the project and the revenue and strange things began to happen to him first one of his children was hospitalized then another and he comes back to everybody he says what should I do things are going wrong maybe I should stop working on Robin not to be afraid he said yeah are you afraid said that if you give me your absolute Assurance I will not be afraid says on my shoulders sure enough the khazan had published has published many volumes in a clear very easy to read format Hashem he and his family are alive and well let me just conclude by sharing with you something with a value rights in the hakatama to his commentary on perki other is and he writes beautifully that the results that the Mitzvah is that he does are more valuable to Hashem now than even in earlier Generations even in the times of the tanoam and you gave the following martial why the midst that we do today even small mitzels are more beloved and dear tashem maybe even greater than Sadiq him of earlier generations and ravavad you said you said as follows you know there was one say um a princess so the princess is in the palace and somebody once came to the princess to bring her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich princesses you know what do you want me to do with this somebody came to brought her salami sandwich princess says I don't eat this kind of food I eat Delicacies I eat Gourmet I'm a princess but then she was captured she was taken into captivity she was being she was starving and son was able to smuggle to her a measly peanut butter and jelly sandwich and was able to nourish her and sustain her the Queen the princess never forgot that for the rest of her life she was indebted and she showed honor and cover it to the individual who fed her in the time of need says stood in the days of old and the shrina was in the base maybe a small Mitzvah was not as vital it was not as valuable in the eyes of Hashem because after all Hashem is living in the palace but now is in Exile the shrinas in The Gallows now their skin is in the Gaza kaviaco is alsikim is in captivity now that the screen is in captivity every small missile we do is so dear and beloved in the eyes of Hashem teaches River Valley Yosef we hope to have the great privilege to go to his cover Oliver is you've just
