We're ready. Good evening my Rabbi Sai.
We're almost at Rashashana
few days. We just finished Sed Nazikin
and we just finished Makus.
The gammorra in hyius bay about one page
before the end talks about the simonyim
talks about the simonyim that we eat
rash
I'll quote you the gmorrah first and
then we'll see the maharal plus because
the mara gives a little bit rounds off
what the maral says let's see
Now that you have told us the has said
that
make a difference
of but they change it. You should be
used to eating
berhat
at the beginning of the year. Tara,
Rubia, Karti, Sila, Tamry. Five
different things. The gourd, the select,
the beats, the tamarim, the leak. Five
different things,
says the marash.
So on this page, if you have it, it's
right over here. Here's where it is. I
knew you would be here.
Now that you say,
may you have one else over here.
Why
is a gourd?
It's a simmon that you shall grow.
that are getting that are coming out.
He'll take away all of the sins.
if you eat these five things on Russ
explaining the gor it's a good sign
if you eat something you're internal you
can't get closer to that it becomes part
of you
and don't say that this is something
small.
When avi would get a
sham, the Ramban already explained at
length over there that when the would
send the to the Nvi, so it would be it
had it was a prophecy of what will
happen and then the Nvi was instructed
to do something to bring that hashbah
and actualize it to start so it begins
to develop in this world. So whether it
was he says whether it was attacking
someone you shot arrows in that
direction the no that's the now listen
so since
is a thing and it's realist
[Music]
shut the mouth of all those
that say add about sadikim.
[Music]
They say how you let go and eat
how to go and do
right the capus with the chicken.
It's not true.
It's a good sim when it's appropriate.
This is halfway through the mar and then
he goes to the next piece and explains
how and what they actually represent.
Before we get there, we're a little
stuck. The maral told us that there are
who say that this is but he doesn't
explain. He just says it's a good
simmon. So what's the why is it not the
Garra says that you're not allowed to be
superstitious
says in San
if a person's eating bread and it falls
down and he says oh this means this and
this sign it's if a person a black cat
walks in front of you and you say that
that that's bad luck or a mirror breaks
all those things are
new is what's this all right then you go
ahead and you eat this or this is not a
sim or you go admit the chicken that's
not a sim that's not why not the mar
asks this kasha and he tackles it and
that's why in tonight's maral we're
going to do a mar
right before this gimra with there was a
gor right before that also a rashana
gimra the gimmorra says for those of you
who learn dafi it's probably pretty
familiar. You just had it a couple of
days ago. The Gimmorra says, "If a
person I'll read you the Gimmorra,
if a person would like to know if his
year will be successful or not."
Literally, if you're going to make it,
says the Gimura, there's a way to find
out in health and have
>> everything. In everything.
>> Yeah. Watch. I'm going to show you.
If a person, it's a if a person wants to
know
if his
going to get the urinat
in a house where the wind is not
blowing.
If it the wind
if there's no wind, if the lamp, if the
candle burns all the way down
and doesn't extinguish early,
then
you're going to make it all the way to
the end. We're case number one.
the he wants to go to business.
Is it going to be or not? What should he
do?
He should breed some chickens.
If it's good,
it's
he wants to go on the road. The roads
were dangerous. pirates list this
wherever they went.
Is he gonna make it back?
Go into a dark house not completely
black.
If you see the shadow of the shadow,
you're going to come back
and he's going to come back on that.
So let's eat these foods on rash. So the
basis of this gimar is this the mar but
this is
lighting the candle what's going on how
are you allowed to do this so the mar is
in here right it's a first I think in
that we did
it's and we have to learn so I even put
numbers by it so that you could see it
easily by number one
It says
it says, "Am I going to make it or not?"
But if you paid attention to the Gmorra,
it only says,
it only says do this and if it's good.
But it doesn't say if it extinguishes,
you won't make it. It doesn't say if the
chicken doesn't grow and doesn't it
won't make it. It doesn't say that.
It doesn't say the second half, right?
Why if he wants it only says the
So what's the
two lines below?
Why isn't there a problem of
isn't this? Look at point number two.
Underline
I wanted to is superstitious right like
which is
so what's going on
you're going to learn a lesson it's
appropriate for the beginning of the
year
from the
comes is only good.
Never does come from heaven
means the source of life. I we don't
always get it. We don't always get the
ter because we get in the way of
ourselves. We get in the way of the that
could come to us and we stop it
sometimes from coming.
[Music]
That's the worry.
Our sins
[Music]
which is going to come.
What do you get in the way of your own
for for heaven's sakes? The is not
doesn't want to pull his punches. He
wants to give you everything. Aar now
says this says the marau there's a rule
when it comes to nava.
When the just sends a navua with a na'vi
and the nvua is a good navua that nva is
going to happen no matter what.
Even if the person sins and doesn't
deserve it
you got it.
If however it's avu
then you can do chuva. That's the whole
story with no ya didn't want to go
because ya said I know what you're going
to do. You're going to tell them it's
going to turn over, right? And what's
going to happen afterwards? And then
it's right because when the says it's
going to happen and it's that's only so
they should do chuva. So says the
we're still
underlined by number two
because things could change around.
Therefore based on that when the Garra
says that if a pitha falls or the glass
breaks or the cat crosses you it's going
to be ra that's nikush. You mean you
tell me something bad's going to happen?
That's wrong and that's user because bad
can always change. Do you know what it
says in our says the marsh? It says if
you want to know you're going to make
it, I'll tell you what you can do. Light
the candle. If the candle stays lit, you
made it. If it doesn't, it doesn't mean
you're going to die.
Cuz it doesn't say in the Garra that if
it extinguishes
that you're It says in the Gmorrah one
thing. If it stays lit, you're going to
live. If it extinguishes after you could
do chuva, you could do chuva. You can
change it. Let's see it inside.
Number three,
a second line.
If it doesn't happen, right?
So then
you don't know
if it's lit. You're good to go. If the
chicken goes big, you're good to go. If
it doesn't,
you want to make sure.
So do something.
>> No, you're not good to go. But if you
shop,
>> you know, for a for a hat member, right?
A person needs to take a person needs to
go to the doctor, right? He's not
feeling well. I don't want to go to
doctor. We're going to go to doctor. I
don't know. I'm scared what he's going
to tell me. Idiot. You tell me. Go find
out if you're okay. It's good. If you
not get this cap,
>> speak to the camera. I'm going to play
it.
>> Right. You want me to say it again? When
when a person, you have to go my blood
pressure this that. Go check it out. If
it's good, it's good. And if not, so
maybe you have to take medication, diet,
this. You know what the Garra is saying?
What is that telling you that I'm going
to tell you exactly what's going to
happen, good or bad?
Only the good says. It only says the
good.
>> A matter of honesty.
>> Is that right? It's exactly what the
Gmorra says.
A sim from Shamayim that's good is good.
If the Aisha sends you a good simmon,
you could take it to the bank. That's
it. It's good. You want to know am I
gonna make it this year or not? The
Garin Har,
you light the candle. If it stays lit,
done deal. You made it to the end of the
year. You want to know if you have a
business deal, it's going to go good.
So, I'm not a I'm not a farmer. I don't
know how to grow chickens, but I guess
they knew how to do it. They'll make
that they'll they'll breed that roast
that that that chicken. If it goes, your
deal is going to be good. If not, and
there
let's see it inside
there inside.
I mean, number three, third of the wide
lines down, third of the line underlines
down.
So you gave yourself the
it's
something that's going to happen for
sure
because you got to cement
doesn't say if it doesn't stay lit it's
not going to happen cuz that
would be
that would be user to tell you that
because it didn't happen that means it's
going to be bad. Like the mirror broke
and then you're going to have seven
years of bad luck or this or that. That
would be and that's also because that's
not true, right?
Right. Therefore the other side
even if the candle doesn't stay lit,
you'll make it. It's possible.
And you you can have a and if we finish
off at the end last underline at the
bottom of the page
it's the underline the last underline in
this column.
It's possible to live.
Even if the chicken doesn't become fat,
if he doesn't see that shadow, he'll
make it back.
Obviously, you didn't get that masle.
You didn't get that. You didn't get that
sign because maybe there is something.
So go ahead and do something about it
for heaven's sake. So do something. Do
EPI. Do something about it. Fix it up.
Vakasha. It's up to you. You know,
you're on the mound. You're a pitcher.
You put the ball in your hand. You know
how to throw strikes. So go ahead and
throw strikes. You know how to do it. So
do it. So what are you eating? Let's
finish off back to the Maral. So Mar
says,
"Why wouldn't you want to make a
simmon?" Those
those people who say that this is now we
already have a shot, a working shot in
the mar. It's not because we're not
saying there's anything bad. It's a
winwin.
So take it that let's go back to that
end of the last paragraph which we left
off.
It's not
at the time when you should do it.
You know what these three these five
things are? These five thing five things
are the best thing that could you can
eat in your life at this time.
[Music]
If you can internalize the
you're in a good place. How do you do
that?
voice.
A gourd is a big pirate.
That's
remember was
the
is that you get the
quality and quantity. quality and
quantity of and
then I want you to eat ki
you know why karti
>> what is karti
>> leaks but they're called karti you know
why
was able to beat every enemy me love as
the angels.
So when you're eating the car and the
ruby and the ki says the
you're internalizing like the ramban
said that you want to make a simmon to
actualize the
that's what these three represent. What
are the next two
right is considered
right we say
right
so you eat a tmer
the silky what's the silky balu
So even if a person made a mistake,
this is the of what you're doing when
you eat this. You're internalizing the
opportunity for in your life. And that's
what the aisha wants. He wants to give
you braha. Like we said, just don't get
in the way of your own. Don't get in
your own head and get in the way that
you can't just go ahead and figure it
out.
So, you know,
you know, you need a little bit of help
of how you go and get out of it. But
there's no question that every single
yeed on rash has the opportunity to be
to win in the din to get it not just to
be stamina but like we said in the shir
to turn it around and any of the
negativity can turn into a
I heard I'll finish off with one little
Somebody told me a story today.
He had a neighbor.
I just put out a book on sukus, right?
So I I'll tell you a sukus story.
I just heard I one of my talum told me
the following suka story.
He said the following my son
he said his mother loved the yumpt of
sukus loved the of sukus and he felt
very connected. So he had a lady in his
community and she built her suka. It's a
fellow who struggles a little bit with
parnasa
and
it was about 3 days before sukus and it
was one of those fall storms
and the wind came blew down her whole
suka. She was left with nothing. It was
3 days before it was it was it was
already after yam kipra
and she didn't have a suka. He said to
himself it's not I can't see her not
having a suka.
So he called up his friend
but he said I got he called up his
friend and he said get me a suka.
You know do me a favor you know I'm a
little bit tight but Kava. He came to
her house the next day. The guys came.
They built her a suka. They built her a
suka. She couldn't believe it. How could
you do that? She says, "It's my present
to you." He said that night he had a
dream.
His mother, his zadei all passed away
and his bubby all came and they were all
sitting in a suka singing together.
Says, "One of the happiest dreams I ever
had in my life. I was together with my
mama, with my zadei, with my baba hi and
we were sitting in the suka. I knew it
was a sign from heaven. It was a sign
from the aishar. I I had to push myself
to do this. It wasn't easy financially.
It wasn't easy, but I was able to do it.
And I got a sign from Shay
that in as much as we're ready to get
from Shayim.
There's no mikra in life. There's no
coincidence. A person has to be a and
believe that the is in our lives and
every single thing and
with this but that
gives us and even wants us to know and
sometimes it's obvious and sometimes
it's not obvious but it's always there
and we're always connected as we go in
hashem we're finishing this year we're
going into the new year as we said in
our this year a person has to have the
and the kavan and understand and the
confidence that the aish wants what's
good for us and not only wants what's
good for us he's mia good for us because
only come down from shmayim so what do
we need to do just get out of our way
just make sure we're be we're in the
right place in the right frame of mind
and in the right level that we should be
able to those hash and everyone
should be to exceed
with Allah.
Amen.
