Journey to Tzefas - Live From the Alshich Shul, With the Rav and Gabbai

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay we're here in the we're here in the historic we have the privilege to have the rav here the rav Ravi khanana Ben Abu who's arrived here in the auschakshua we have our friend baby we just want to say a few words about the ausa the rav will tell us a little bit about it and then rafsoma will tell us about the current state of the basic knesses thou should live from 1508 to 1593. now if you're a RAV what's the best compliment you could get some people say they were inspired okay big deal they're inspired people get inspired you can read the telephone book people get inspired people say that they learn something new the biggest compliment you could get is that rather what you said was the MS and that is what that result said about the Australia now it's interesting we know that the officer came from a family of Spanish exiles and in the times of the gurus farad many of the year then were very despondent and depressed because giving up the religion publicly they felt they were Hive car race car race it's something that weighs on the soul and there's no way to free yourself from it so the felt that if they reinstated smiha then they could reinstate bezen if they reinstate business they could give Marcus and if they give malkus they could free people from and this would give the Spanish Exiles some respite so the maribe rav here and fast reinstituted to four people one of them was Maranda Yosef the bed Yosef gave yourself the only one who continued this maker process and he gave samiha to so the base Joseph gave Smith to only one person to the qadash too Brooklyn vital so it's interesting the outside College was the revenue is busy learning Kabbalah from the Ariza and says Thomas where are you going I'm going to learn Kabbalah from the Ari so I also want to go learn kabulary I really told now you can't go you can't go the officer said what do you mean my talmud might come on I can't learn Kabbalah Rizal said you can't come finally that reason said listen you came to this world to teach drush you did not come to to learn Kabbalah the proof will be I'm going to teach you Kabbalah and every time I teach a Cabot you're going to fall asleep every time the I read taught the Kabbalah fell asleep that's why I don't get insulted when people fall asleep because they heard my shroom in a different girl and they did not come to this world see how it might show him this time around but now the interesting had a son who veered off and he went to the arizal and that reason composed a special Fila for the auschach to recite to be Master his son pachuva that's printed you could look in the siddhar masak midwash by the bracheno there's a Fila that the Ariza composed for the auschach now when the ausuk gave draw choice when the auschak gave joshuas he had an amazing audience the whole city of came the arizal came vital came and one particular Joshua was discussing this week's parisha it says by Lavan that he tricked Yakov avinu Asar as my name a hundred times and was explaining every trick That Lovin played on Jacob Aveeno and that reason was laughing that reason I thought it was the funniest thing in the world that Rizo couldn't wipe the smile of his face and then the Ariza ran out of the shul and they asked every Ariza why were you laughing he says I was laughing because you wouldn't believe it he was having to every single trick of Love on and the proof is because not only did the basis come to the Josh and not only did now did I come Lavan also came to the drasha loved one was in the show and Loveland was nodding his head I can't believe you got my trick I can't believe you guys but Rizal says I can't be at a share together with love on so I had to leave this year so that's this week the auschuk has an amazing approach to say fabricious he says that when other Murray shine ate from the it's Hadas and Java is injected with a spiritual contamination and the job of the othersim was to expunge the zuama of so avram avinu in order to get out you know what zuhama is so nowadays they have a crock pot and in the crock pot you have a plastic lining so when the Shabbos is over you just throw out the plastic lining and the pot is good to go but I remember my grandmother when she used to make challenge it you know there's no plastic lining you have you have this week's Challenge and last week's Challenge and three weeks ago so that's why the children had much better flavor because so zumama is grime and the grime of the Sunday sadas was still in the Allah so abrovino expunged it and he expunged the zuama in the guise of Ishmael and that's why Ishmael was born first and abramovina was infertile until much much later in life and then when he expunged almost all of the zumama then yitzuk was born then the auschak writes in order for yitzlak to get out whatever little Zuma he had yaakov had to be born at the same time so that all the zuama left initra would go to Asaf and yaakov would be born shalim and that's why the one who created which we have his Forum on many many of the safety we have itself with Taurus moisha on the Torah and many people would think okay the Ashok wrote so so much drush he probably spent the whole week learning Hamish did not learn not on Sunday not on Monday not on Tuesday not on Wednesday and not on Thursday the entire week he was devoted to Shahs and placed him except for where he was learning comes from the one day of the week that he was devoted to his Parish Allah we're going to hear a few words from the rap shlita and ripsoma how many times how much time you have not more than two hours a few minutes five minutes five minutes oh one second okay welcome is going to say a little story about the al-shah and then talk about the synagogue itself [Music] foreign [Music] foreign at the time heard the rabbi talk about making two loaves of bread and putting it in the so he comes back to his wife and he says this is what the Ashish says we should do he said if that's what the Ashish said to you we're going to do it foreign vibrating that that Holiness of the al-shek foreign so Ralph says that there are only four people four rabbis in in the history of of our heritage that were called kadosh arihakadosh uh and so um it's not for nothing that he was called hakadosh his Rashad that we were learning it's it's as if he is able to read Inside the Minds of the characters of the Bibles I mean he's so holy that they are re described his Rashad as being one of the 70 accepted interpretations of the Torah from heaven foreign [Music] was the only soul to survive Both earthquakes foreign [Music] foreign and one of the Rockets landed in the house next door with this big house in between the Abu hafsul and the Ari and the uh and that house was completely destroyed one of the walls connecting with the Abuja was destroyed and this show was completely intact foreign and he asked the the leading rabbis let's put a women's Gallery in the show foreign so we went to the gamma who was the guy wife for nine Generations nine Generations he came to the Gabba he said listen I want to make a woman's gallery and he said and I don't agree so that was the chief Rabbi of Israel at the time and if he accepts would you accept he says I don't accept but if he says yes then go ahead and do it foreign it's so holy even though there's no women's Gallery who are you to put a woman's Gallery in in there and so when he came that Shabbat the Gabba was sitting over there with a rough uh sitting and he jumped up to him and says uh what did he run what is saying he said don't put this I told you not to I told you foreign holy space it's not just a museum because we pray here every morning every evening every Shabbat it's a working living school and we want to maintain it and keep it available I mean I have the privilege of sitting here after Shark Week and learning for a few hours the tour of the Asha in the austral which is just a Divine thing and and I have groups of of tour guides coming in showing Belcher which was always closed before during the weekday so they're thrilled to see it open and just to see The Joy on these people's Faith doesn't matter the religion doesn't matter the age doesn't matter what the background is when you come in here they feel certain Holiness it's very hard to find anywhere else and and so it's such a joy to be able to extend that to others and that we have a leaflet here if anybody wants to stay connected um I myself got married last year to a year thank you very much and my beloved wife she said to me listen you're learning all this tour of the Australia why don't you teach it I said I'm not a teacher I'm doing it they're learning she's like another teacher so I started teaching it and then I felt ill and then I became well again and then this year I made a vow to try to give over the podcast of the outshot every week which is such a it's such a discipline for me and I try to condense like five hours of studies into 10 minutes which in itself is impossible and then I pick a different Torah personality in spot and I interviewed them about the things that still bother me even after learning all the L shifts so if you want to stay connected with that there's a leaflet if you want to stay connected with the shawl and hear the progress that we're trying to make to reinstate this to its original Glory then please feel free to take well they haven't really said well when you never know you never know
