[Music]
good evening ladies and gentlemen thank
you all for coming down and it's
wonderful to see so many people here you
know I always say that it's a pleasure
to have everybody here and I want you to
know there's nothing more true than that
to be able to give a or to be able
to give over thoughts ideas concepts
Torah and to have people who are eager
to to hear and absorb that's what
motivates the speaker the one giving the
Shuar in this case that's what motivates
me and I hope at the end of the day I
will have been able to also motivate you
and that's what it's all about it's a
mutual motivation so thank you all very
very much for being here I would like to
take this opportunity to thank a few
people is Robbie I already mentioned
first of all I want to thank Colbert
restaurants they're always so good to us
and take such amazing good care of us
has soccer balls to them and let's have
a round of applause for them I think I'm
hearing a slight feedback or something
if somebody could just turn that sound
down a touch just a smallest amount it
would be wonderful all right I want to
thank all the volunteers who put a lot
of time and effort into making this
evening possible or even here
volunteering right now and as we heard
Midrash Benicia is doing this in
conjunction with huzzah we've done many
many things together and it's a
relationship that I've had that goes
back to I can't tell you how many years
ago and we're always very happy to be
together and to do it and again I've got
three microphones on me I feel like I'm
running for some kind of public office
and please vote for me and basically I
want to thank all the the reasons for
the microphones of course will be on our
website which is non stop tora dot-com
that's our video website it'll be on
tour anytime and will also be on just a
minutes with an S at the end comm at
least portions of it so there's no
excuse to not go back and go over
everything you've heard so the title of
the of the lecture today is the Aaronic
Ohain a lama Shalom in us all Aaron the
high priest ironic owain in us all and
the subtitle is building peace among our
people because as we know our Annika
hand allow a Shalom when he was known
for was many things he was one of the
biggest people in Israel he was the the
older brother what should have been on
our Shalom he was right up there but he
was known in addition to being the the
coin God all the high priest and
everything that goes with that he was
known for making peace among people
among the Jewish people you know when
you start a lecture you would normally
start at the beginning so since we're
speaking about our own that go handle
our Shalom I should start with the
beginning of his life but you know I've
never been known to do things the normal
way as you probably know by now I'm
gonna start with the end of his life
what is the torah' tell us interestingly
enough the Torah tells us not when it
first tells us about our I'm not going
on emotional on passing away but a
little later if you party later it tells
us that our own cocaine died at a
specific time a specific day it is the
only time that the Torah ever tells us
the date that somebody passed away it's
the only time he goes yeah but it's not
true we know we have other dates we are
in similar manner we know we know it
died on the seventh of I got yes we do
but the Torah doesn't tell us that
specifically we have to learn it out
from the commandment to yahushua from
that we work back and figure out that
moshe i've been on our shalom died on
the seventh of my diet but in the case
of our on that claim Aaron the high
priest it says well yeah her on the coin
in hora har that clinic her on the coin
Halawa shalom went up to her haha appear
shame a--they the word of Hakadosh
Baruch who why llamo Shawn and he died
there then lads bismuth hard by Emily
said the new senators was time on the
fortieth year of the children result
coming out of Egypt because as we know
for four years for our sins their sins
been then he said like to go round and
round and round in the desert so at the
end of the fortieth year when they're
about to go into sail he has to pass
away and of course Moshe Rabbeinu will
have to pass away and then it adds it
says behold o shahe me she on the fifth
month the fifth month we start the
county of the months from nice on the
fifth month is the month of AB they had
the whole dish on the first of the month
in other words ironic when the Torah
tells us died on Rosh Hodesh
going back a few precios it says when
you collide a kilo ah ah her own and the
whole congregation saw that her own a
Cohen a llama Shalom passed away
well you Kuwait aharon chelouche team
young and they cried for hour on a coin
30 days which is the normal thing
who did coal bathe this the entire
congregation of Israel
now there's of course the famous Rashi
on this which tells us who is called
baby said who is the entire congregation
of Israel is ha Enoshima hot machine not
just a man it's both the man and the
women why
Leticia ah ah her own road if Shalom
because ironical head was Road if Shalom
he chased after peace but you know what
the word road if is an unusual word
because the word road if has an
implication of chasing after to in a
sense maybe harm somebody or to chase
somebody away and so it's interesting
that the Torah uses this particular word
he could have used another word to show
that he ran or chased after peace I'm
gonna come to that a little later so
because our Allah Quran was one who
chased after peace and he made peace
between ballet marry ba people who were
fighting with each other arguments and
the like melaka between people and of
course between each listo a man and his
wife he was renowned for that for making
peace between man and wife
the associate era brings down calling
the cholera bothy it says that well it
says Corbett he said all the house of
Israel on the congregation of Israel he
says Rashi of course says the man and
the woman he says but not only that even
crying babies he says that so it was all
all of Israel now we're taught
hang on to cease we're taught that
80,000 males young males named Aharon
went out behind his meetha meetha
literally bet we don't didn't we don't
use coffins when we're in a land like in
America where you have to by law use
coffins we use conference but normally I
call it the meat table because there's
no coffin
so 80,000 AHA rogues went out behind him
80,000 are herranz who are these $80,000
owns they are the male children that
were born when a Chanukah handmade piece
they were going to divorce the paid
parents were going to divorce a Hanako
handmade piece and they stayed together
and the next child that was born the
baby boy they named her own 80,000 can
you even begin to comprehend what that
means
80,000 young children when there were
80,000 divorces or would have been any
and he and he rectified the situation
saved her marriage but wait a minute
it's not 80,000 marriages some people
had girls the best of my knowledge they
didn't name them on our own today it's a
different story but in those days they
wouldn't do that not only that some of
these people wanted to divorce they were
past childbearing age he brought them
together again
there were no kids there so who knows
how many marriages Aaronic away annul
our Shalom saved we just know that there
were 80,000 boys who were named a harem
now he quotes a Cepheid Harry Dean that
hazael tell us obviously to make peace
with 80,000 couples maybe hundreds of
thousands of couples I don't know it's
gonna take out of his other duties and
certainly out of his Torah learning
there's no question about that
the Zohar tells us that in gun aiding in
the Garden of Eden in Xiamen there are
also a Shabbat there are also houses of
learning and it says that our on the
coin since he was on him Shalom since he
was someone who loved peace so much
here's your Shiva it's called the method
of rahimullah which means quite simply
Ahava his yeshiva was called the Shiva
of love for is called that's what it's
called upstairs so now it says in
ProCare both it says he little mayor
here with me tell me - shall our own
Hillel says be one of the students of
our own otohime OHIP Shalom loves peace
we're on there Shalom and chases after
peace
so when a person does what he's supposed
to do in this world following our own at
Cohan according to Zhou Ricardo's makes
peace among people and he goes up to
show mime he gets to study in the Shiva
of her own Hut Cohan and since he is
studying in the yeshiva of a Haruna
Cohan because he made peace in this
world he is called one of the students
of our own Hawaiian
it isn't a little baby oh our on that go
ahead in addition to all this work that
he was doing making peace if somebody
did not read the Shamal he would teach
them to read the Sherman if somebody
didn't know how to pray he would teach
them to pray he would help them to get
into the Torah the path of the Torah the
Torah learning and so on now let's
understand you know how much time this
takes out of your day to do this hour
Annika I know very well that if he would
lock himself away don't get involved
with all these Jewish people need help
left right and center lock himself away
he could have reached unimaginable
Heights
could you imagine the heights that he
already reached as our on the claim as I
say he's one of the biggies could you
imagine what he would have achieved if
he just sat there by himself and did
whatever it needed to well here whatever
he needed to raise himself higher and
higher would have been unbelievable
where he would have what he would have
gone but he never allowed himself to do
that he stopped himself from doing that
in order to take care of his people
it says in Sarah Halasz been Yahoo yada
one of the Safari move Thomas if a man
I'll show him the holy banish hi unshut
he tells the story he says a man at
house
and the house had a neighbor now the man
who's often not there the man often went
away for a period of time with his wife
wasn't there and on one of these
occasions when he wasn't there the
neighbor decided he's going to do
construction in his house his neighbor's
not there he's gone away so what does
this neighbor do not a good person he
took many liberties he took stones he
took wood from the walls of the
neighbor's house and used it in his own
construction
he stole bricks whatever it is from the
neighbor put them in his own house he
leaned his house against his neighbor's
house putting a lot of pressure and
doing damage he put a bathroom in a
place where the drain caused even
further damage you know the kind of
neighbor you pray you'll never have when
the neighbor came home the original
house owner came home he saw the theft
he saw everything missing from his house
and he saw the damage and you can
imagine that happens you get upset and
he got upset quite rightly he got upset
and he says to his wife and his wife is
in shock he says I'm going straight to
the main theme' there's gonna be a
husband now we're gonna call this guy to
the big Dean and he's gonna pay she says
I agree with you this is really terrible
it's shocking while we're away that he
would do such a thing
so the man goes off to the big Dean he
rushes out he gets to the door stops
turns around goes back home
his wife said what happened he said
nothing I changed my mind you didn't go
to the bait deed he didn't cultivate Li
she said no she said why you see what
happened and you were so upset what's
the matter why didn't you go he says
I'll tell you I was on the way there and
I passed a funeral he said you know the
funeral was it was this guy give me a
filthy rich individual rich and famous
he gave to charity his name was on
hospitals his name was every word he
said this man for the past four years
has been building a palace a palatial
mansion that he hasn't yet set foot in
by the way that's not uncommon you hear
the story many times I remember jump all
Getty jr. of Getty wealth fame lived in
England and he was an American and he
had a huge mansion with tons of land in
California he never got to see it there
was another guy was reading about the
other day by the name of Stefan Mandel
if anyone heard of him he was from
Romania and he devised a method to beat
the lottery and he beat the lottery in
Romania in America and somewhere else I
forget
I don't remember three places maybe I
got the places wrong maybe Israel maybe
somewhere else I don't remember three
places but when I say that he beat the
system he won the jackpot 14 times they
tried to take him to court thing but he
did nothing illegal in the end they had
to change the system the lotteries and
no longer the same they had to change
the whole system so it could not happen
again not only won the lottery the
jackpot but he went only the subsequent
prizes that
a lot of second prizes and third prizes
and fourth for prizes but now he had to
run away I don't know what happened I
don't know the whole story had to run
away he's not living in at all he's got
this palatial mansion that they built he
says I've never set foot in it so it's
not an uncommon thing so he said this
man this extremely wealthy individual
has built this huge I was building this
huge palace and now he's died he hasn't
hasn't lived in it he hasn't set foot in
it he says and you know where he's going
he's going to live in a plot of land
that's a foot and a half wide and six
foot long
he said if that's the case why am i at
this time of my life going to get in a
long protracted fight and argument about
something that's not even mine
now we get into arguments with people we
forget what the world is about I'm not
saying there aren't times where someone
does something wrong and maybe you can
rectify it but I think we forget what
the world is all about we think we're
much more important than we are
I'm going to talk about that and we
think we're gonna be here forever
the sad news is that probably neither of
those is correct
I'm saying probably to be nice tomorrow
zoton speaks about Berkut Connie the
priestly blessing and the blessing on
the course of Birkat Hamazon of course
the Priestly Blessing became the final
Braja
is the braja of Shalom because it's
three Bravo to do with your money and
your your protection and peace the last
word because my name is Shalom peace
it says the Gemara of Ceuta in Nicosia
Braja labor if you should not give the
the cup of blessing and brick at Amazon
for someone to say a blessing a lovely
table iron except to someone who is
literally a good eye means the opposite
of envious somebody who is giving
somebody who is generous this is only
such a person who is a giving generous
person who who could cares about other
people should be given that cup of
baccata Mazzone in been a yahoo been
yada yes why is that why is it that
cosmic Adama Saul should only be be
given to someone who's a table iron was
a good eye he quotes his work Adair is a
Leo who where he says that the joints of
the hand the knuckles of a hand if you
count them there are 14 you have three
on the four fingers 12 and 2 on the
thumb you've got 14 he says this is for
the 15 and I'm not losing my mind the 14
are for the 15 words in the Berkut
colony in the Priestly Blessing the Baha
Shemesh maratha and so on if you count
is 15 words so now we have a problem
because we want to make it 15 so what do
we do
huzzah instituted the kosher braja
hazael instituted a rap is a blessed
memory instituted the Cobra Hadi the cup
of blessing that the Mubarak the one was
saying the bra how we'll hold in his
hand
why is this important
this is the 15th word of the cut Connie
there are 4 fingers in the hand and the
cup the cup is now the 15th but what is
the cup the cup is a Kelly
it is a vessel and is holding it is
holding the wine and what was the 15th
word that was missing when we had the 14
joints and knuckles of her hand was the
word Shalom was the word Shalom so now
this course
Abraha represents peace represents
Shalom and he says and that's how
robbing a ashkenaz explain it says lo
moussaka dodgeball whoo Kelly Maha zebra
Holly said Allah has Shalom that the
Holy One blessed be he didn't find any
vessel for the Jewish people to hold the
blessing except for Shalom peace peace
is the vessel
that holds the blessing for the Jewish
people that's very important and we have
to get that in our minds our blessing
is only contained in a vessel called
peace where is the way this blessing go
if I would throw something at you throw
you some money it's lost it goes on the
floor it flies away whatever it is it
has the governor receptacle blessings
that come down from sham I have to go
into a container and they say the Gemara
tells us that it's only peace that is
the vessel that can accept the blessing
of the Jewish people
so this Gomorrah is given out Oh scene
is a very very powerful and important
one and one that makes us realize
hopefully makes us realize how important
piece is and that is why the rabbi's say
it is only a top iron it is only
somebody who cares for the other person
not someone who is a a sari not the kind
of person who is it doesn't want to do
for the other person wants to say for
the other person because that person
cannot make peace it is only a turbine
who can make peace with other people and
that is why he must be the one to hold a
kosher Braja because this posture Baha
is the Klimas Ibrahim this is the it is
Shalom it is peace and it is the Kaylee
it is the whatever Kaylee is in English
there's so many different translations
for it that holds blessing
so
he then comments that is how mr. Fineman
Amish hello there are two kinds of
hatred two kinds of hatred the opposite
of pizza yes two kinds of hatred he says
there's one that is for a reason meaning
somebody hurt the other person harmed
the other person did damage to the other
person he did something that caused them
pain sorrow loss whatever it is and for
that reason this person hates that
person he says you know what that's not
such a bad one because that one there is
the possibility of making peace somebody
gets involved gets in the middle and
says look you know you did this and
maybe you just rectify it by that
because the other person that one is
kind of fixable he said but a much more
difficult type is the second one he said
that is the one that comes from envy
jealousy person is assigned the opposite
of it the other one that we were talking
about the good eye this guy is jealous
this guy is envious he's envious of the
other person the other person's money
the other person's position the other
person's honor the other person's house
the other person's car there are the
person whatever it is he's envious he
says that is very very difficult in fact
close to impossible to rectify close to
impossible to make peace and he says
you'll only find this in people who are
after glory people who are after honor
he says these are the people who are
envious of others and for whatever
reason and usually really for no reason
whatsoever
he says a turbine will never fall into
this category somebody who is gracious
to other people will never fall in this
category he will never be he will never
hate another person because that other
person has something whether it's honor
whether it's money whatever it is he
says and that's why it is appropriate to
give this caution baraja this blessing
which is the blessing of peace that
comes in baka dawa zone from the burqa
Kohanim it's appropriate to give it to a
talk I'm a person who is good and not
envious of the
person because this person will never
fall into that category and will never
hate another person for no reason just
because the other person has something
so we see how important making pieces
but we also see when you look around and
we look at the people the rabbi's and
others who have been successful at
making peace you see just how great
these people were and you see how modest
they were you see how however great they
might have been they were humble they
weren't
arrogant with it you know greatness
comes to be before all kinds of reason
sometimes you'll run away for it and it
comes run away from it and it comes to
you it chases after you but it doesn't
mean you have to be arrogant with it
it says in Benny we're dancin hey dream
it says the following Oh him Shalom and
Road if Shalom this is what I was
referring to earlier what does it mean
or him Shalom means loves peace road if
shallow means chases after peace now
we're using it in the positive sense
it's chasing after because he loved it
so much but really Road if it's somebody
you want to keep away from he's chasing
after you to harm you
he's chasing you away so he says how do
we understand this I know him Shalom
loves it and tries to achieve it the
road Dave is the opposite he hates it
and tries to chase it away how do we how
do we say that ironic go ahead with your
hips shallow man Redemption ohm how do
we make the two sit together how do we
make peace between those two terms he
says in order to make peace sometimes
you have to run after it to chase it
away huh okay that's needed a situation
you know how we're told that our Kohan
on our Shalom worked right if there was
a maloca did go to one party and say no
you don't know the other party is so
sorry it wishes it hadn't happened he
wants to make up to you a man and wife
same thing go the husband and say you
don't know this that the other and he
goes to wife your husband is almost
crying over the fact that he said those
things you know that's it and he made
peace with them
but let's look at the situation all
right you have two guys Reuben and Shem
on their fighting they used to be
friends they got into a fight they gotta
fight who knows what about Matt it was a
bad fight they're all upset with each
other and let's say I will not go ahead
with getting involved then he would go
and say to Reuben no you don't know how
bad and she won't feel the man and he's
so sorry was it okay if roommate accepts
it all well all well and good but what
if as often happens other people get
involved what you're listening to him
he's just trying to figure for you to
make peace yeah you're right that guys
are no good keep away from it because
people love my okay you know how much
people love it they love to see somebody
fighting with someone else don't listen
to her means that you you saw what he
did to you gonna forget and they remind
him and they stir them up and they get
him all agitated everything he's not
going to listen to him he's not gonna
listen to him he says no under no
circumstances am I gonna make me stop
talking to me in such a case the OHIP
shuttle he says the one who loves peace
must not've shuttle
he must chase it away how does he do
that he goes to Reuben and he says to
Reuben
these people who have come to you and
are saying this I know good you want to
keep away from that he makes the vision
he causes mahaki
between Ruby and all these friends who
will not allow Ruben to make peace with
shim ohn as a matter of fact not only is
that permitted it's a mess what to do so
just as the euro sham he tells us that
we're allowed to speak Lashon Hara about
somebody who causes Moroccan another
example of this let's take a similar
case okay's again
Ruben is Shimoda fighting used to be
friends
people come up to Reuben and say you
know shim ohn said these terrible things
about you listen if somebody comes up to
you and says that shim all it used to be
a friend is saying all these bad things
about you you're gonna be upset quite
rightly so fish if it hurts him and
harms him so he's so mad right now that
were all right go ahead allow a Shalom
to come we're here to come to him now
and say anything positive he'll say stop
it I'm really angry you're only saying
that to try and make peace but it's not
true so initially what must you do
what must are not going I'll our shall
them do we must go to them and say you
know what you're right it's not nice
I can't believe that he would do such a
thing you're absolutely right to hate
him yeah absolutely right not to talk to
him you're absolutely right don't talk
to him such a thing such behavior it's
it's terrible you've got to fight for
your right stand up for your rights your
reputation in other words you're chasing
peace away but eventually Reubens gonna
calm down happens happens we've all done
it
even if you'll want to stay angry
forever you calm down and then when he
comes down he starts thinking to himself
this is this alright go ahead
it's my friend he really is on my side
he's he he understands my situation
completely so you know what at that
point he can go to him and say you know
what you're right but can I make a
suggestion we should really look into
whether shamone really said those things
and the circumstances under which he
said it because maybe we'll find which
often happens it's not the way other
people reported it people like to
exaggerate people like to say things
that really aggravate the person and get
them all riled up and angry I don't know
why it gives him a certain satisfaction
so when he said so let's really find out
at that point peace becomes so much
easier and in that way you see poor him
Shalom and Road if Shalom appear to be
opposites but really they work hand in
hand
not being in this like we said the coast
of Baja you can only really make peace
if you're not an envious person that's
why the coast of Baja which is for
Shalom should go to you if you're not an
envious person is as I was saying
something that you see in people who are
very very important and very great who
make peace that they are the opposite of
envious that they run away from from
honor even though it comes to them and
to the extent that they they do things
in humility that we don't even know
about you know the great people in the
great Rob I mean do so many good deeds
and we know nothing about but I want to
tell you a story this is a famous story
it's a well known story but people ask
me about it regularly and I don't know
why I think I know why they asked me
regularly but I want to tell you the
story again it's well known to many
people and it's really fascinating in
new shall I am there used to be a hum a
rabbit by the name of haha abram others
he had originally come from Holub Aleppo
and a very fine and very knowledgeable
haha somehow a manuscript Xavier came
into his possession and he was looking
at it and he found it to be amazing
amazing amazing value it was the one who
wrote it
who wrote it with erudition he was
obviously very scholarly he knew the
Torah inside out the toilet either have
eroded in the towers at the tips of his
fingers and it was the whole aspect of
Torah not just one he knew that I had a
hard shot he knew the soul the Kabbalah
everything you mean everything was in
here there were and there were no
questions on all kinds of topics all
kinds of topics and he answered them
beautifully and in detail and he's
looking at it he says obviously this is
a very very great harm nobody else could
write a work or work like this he's got
to be a very great harm with amazing
knowledge now here's the rub
obviously a great haha obviously huge
knowledge with all the different aspects
of Tyrannus fingertips but who was he
he's looking he sees the name of the
work his Torah lachemann which means
Torah for its own sake and then he finds
that the order author of the of the work
is a ha ha by the name of your hostel
Callie the hostel Callie
never heard of him a rabbi of such
magnitude of such knowledge and he never
heard of them so he goes out and he asks
whoever you ask anywhere in the world
nobody's heard of this ha ha me
hysterically this was very very
troubling to hum Abraham others
troubling deeply saw is one day he was
reading he was reading other works of
course it was really a famous book of
respond sir she wrote they're both
wrapped a Alim by ha ha Yosef hyeme the
holy banish hi Mohammed said ìiím
brought many works we call them the many
faced on one of his works but it's
actually one of the smaller works but
great magnitude but smaller in size ruf
valley ms multiple volumes so he's
reading this work repair name of Ahom
yusuf hyeme and I was Shalom the holy
banished high and low and behold
haha missive hyeme quotes ha ha ha
scared golly Wow dynamite if the holy
banished hi and by the way he quotes him
in other places stories and here and
there and everywhere you'll see me
quotes he quotes Sifl cynical or tarnish
ma this particular safer that we're
talking about written by a honey house
good company so he says Wow the British
highest quoting him for you me that
would be amazing startling but he was a
haha bigger than I won't say you and me
certainly bigger than me and he's
looking at it and he's looking at it and
he says to himself he has scale is the
same guy Maitreya as you're safe
Carly is the same damata as high in the
Haskell Kathleen is the same in gematria
as Yosef hanging the Benesch hi there
brilliant mind to see that right away so
now he had no doubt in his mind because
the way was written the subject matter
how it was handled the the erudition and
scholarship everything and this Camacho
there was no doubt in his mind that this
book had been written by hundreds of
high in diminish high but with another
name because he didn't want people to
know so he went to haha mr. frame had a
tan need a very big ha ha ha ha with
your Hasan who he told to run away
something happen in Baghdad to Eris
aside and he became the robbed of parati
safe the old paratha is safe in Russia
on iron he went to him and he said look
at the safer what can you tell me he
says I don't know don't know anything
about it
I can't tell you so how am i Brahma I
just said I'm gonna write a letter
telepharmacy fame he writes a letter to
the British I asked him several
questions on halakhah several questions
and then the last question is who is the
author of Tora Mishima now I don't know
how long it took for mail to travel in
those days and how quickly it came how
quickly didn't come eventually he got a
response
ha ha miss if I'm the only vanish hi
answered him in detail answered every
question everything you needed to know
and I can imagine that you know with his
knowledge he gave all kinds of
background and information he answered
all his questions that is
except one the last one who is the
author of Torah
dyzma at that point you know hama brahma
this is mindil our Shalom there was no
more doubt it could only have been
written by humus if I aim because of
what had happened the fact that he
didn't even say I don't know he ignored
the question the fact that the style of
writing the content the kamacho of his
name there was no more any doubt in his
mind in truth I want to tell you they
did a little more scientific research if
you like the handwriting of Torah
lachemann is that of the vanish hi
why did he do that what is the name
tryla schmuck mean Torah for its own
sake
not to have any other not to have any
glory for the sake of Torah Muhammad
said I am was the one who did so much
for people they went to him with every
kind of problems it was so great I think
if they had a little finger bleep that
would go to him and he loved everybody
and you can see from his holophone
people say strict you see how he goes
out of his way bends over backwards then
if people do something to justify what
they did and why they do it I want to
tell you another story of another Hakam
who I considered to have been one of the
greatest post scheme of our time and he
was so humbled that he never made a
noise so he didn't make a noise like
others and many people didn't even
realize they heard of him but they
didn't realize his greatness the people
the people in the business what I'll
call it the other post scheme all knew
about him I knew how great he was you
know how great he is many people know
but I'm speaking about Mara Mordechai
Rio our Shalom
and here's another person by the way I
suspected he's done the same thing he
you know was kind of descended directly
from the baby shine and he followed him
and I suspect there's a safer that came
out few volumes it's not known who the
author is just my reading is that it's
him but I don't know so I'm not
mentioning any names but he was also
someone who's extremely humble like I
was saying never made a noise about
anything and he was the youngest died
young evarin Lee in the Land of Israel
that's how great he was and his
knowledge but he was always making peace
between people and between men and wife
there's stories about him they would
come to the big Dean when he was the day
on the bait Dean before he became the
chief rabbi of Israel they would come to
him and there would be cases where he
would tell the secretary of the bay Dean
after he met with the husband and wife
put the file away so what do you mean
it's still open it's it's not and he
would make peace
that's what he was that's what he was
good at and that's what he was known for
and and that's what I I find remarkable
about him but in I'll be him surely say
there's a story that a lady tells this
lady got married a little while before
the time that she's talking about when
she was single she used to go to a rabbi
it was a mokuba a caballus I don't know
anything about him all I tell you is you
know you got to be careful there are
some real mickou believe but there are a
lot of phonies I'm sorry to say a lot of
phonies she used to go to a MicroBot
when she got married she tells her
husband I want to go with you to this
mokuba because I think very highly of
him our respect him and so on
he was from a different background he
was from a I guess he is Shiva they
didn't really went into mokuba Lima and
the like and he didn't want to go so I
guess they got into a little bit I just
called a discussion back and forth they
both agreed that they would go and speak
to her mom or the high in Yahoo and our
Shalom because everybody respected him
across the spectrum so they went to see
him and the wife started telling the
story that she wants to go to this rabbi
she used to go to this rabbi he doesn't
want to go Ramona Thalia well Shalom is
listening to this and he says he turns
to the husband and he says you know what
I understand you there are a lot of
rabbis who want really rabbis he said
however excuse me
he says however I know this one it turns
to the wife is this is it this
particular one this lives in this area
said yes he says I know this one
it's okay you can go too but he
understood the situation I don't know
I'm not gonna mention any rabbis not
relevant
he understood the situation he saw the
wife wanted to go and the husband didn't
want to go and he knew how to navigate
the waters he said to the wife you can
go to him now what he tells you you have
to do you have to do you but not your
husband this is on the other hand if you
all come to me they both came to him
they were both happy with him what I say
you both have to do she said it was
amazing to hear the way he handled this
and the way as I say he navigated
the waters because first of all he heard
both their points of view secondly he
was still giving honor to others and he
knew how to create Shalom bite peace
among the husband and wife he says in
that short time he showed them how it
could be done and it was the only
solution that would have worked for them
and he came up with it and she said from
that moment on she no longer felt any
need to go to that of the rabbi so it
was just it was an amazing amazing story
in my mind of how when you have the
right wisdom and understanding and it's
not about you you're about the other
person you're a Tobias that you're able
to make peace among people all right
we know that pin Haas who alia who right
pin Haas is a Leo
and those who gave pin has his
beneficial of his covenant of peace why
because as we know pin Haas did
something to make peace between the
Jewish people not others Varro who by
killing Cosby is Emily so God gives him
his eternal covenant of peace because he
was zealous for God interestingly one of
the reasons for the covenant of peace
beneficial on that god says is because
it was done through basically killing
two people and God didn't want that to
be one of the big dogs one of the
attributes so therefore he counteracted
that with peace because that's what we
want and of course even though it was
done for God's name it was the right
thing to do today we're absolutely
forbidden from doing anything of the
sort but God didn't even want it just to
remain at that and gave him my a
covenant of peace but the other reason
for giving him the covenants of visas
because I can say he made peace God was
mad at the children of Israel with his
action with his action pin Haas made
peace with Hakadosh Baruch so now I'm
better many people have the custom of
the fifth course the fifth cup that
fifth cup is for Aliyah hanabi what is
the reason for that fifth cup the reason
is because low Massa Hakadosh Baruch who
Kaley mozzie brothel Israel except God
didn't find any vessel to make the
blessings come to the Jewish people
except a Shalom the peace so this last
cause the cause of Eliyahu is for peace
you know peace is the key word for the
Jewish people and you know we say it day
in and day out but do we realize what
we're saying
when as I mentioned we have the booklet
carne do we really focus on the fact
that we're being blessed with peace when
we finished the book on Amazon with the
cost the peace in our hand the word
Shalom in our hand
do we understand that we're ending the
oseh sholom with the word Shalom
oh say Shalom Roma the one who makes in
his abode upstairs making peace
we're asking him to bless the Jewish
people with peace we said that also
salami when we finish the Amina shallow
Bravo America when love shawl ashame the
hope that hope us that hope asuka ends a
shame old Lhamo attained Hashemi a very
finish the bustle for me if I'm all but
shallow exactly that God is constantly
blessing us with peace and that is what
we have to run after there are 613 miss
worth did I surprise you did I wake you
up there are 613 miss wall
can you any of you here do 613 miss
walls no thank you
she said yes I have been a lot of
trouble it's impossible why because some
are only for colony I'm not economy says
some condom can't do some this one
catches some yeah there's no way the
only way the with Jewish people and
recommend is to do 613 was not the only
way with the Jewish people can do is 613
miss worth is
easy if you take everybody's miss worth
together and pull them together pull
them together you did 22 I did one you
did 4,000 whatever it is you get to a
total of 613
but where do we hold those 613 miss well
it has to be in this famous kimi maha
sigma ha ha this vessel that holds that
holds blessing and what is that blessing
what is that toy what is that Kaylee
what is that that utensil that vessel
Shalom peace in other words the only way
that we can achieve 613 verse worth is
if there is peace among all Jews and my
chefs not here right so clearly we
haven't achieved it clearly there's no
peace among all Jews so we got to start
working on that because if you have a
vessel that's broken because this one is
fighting with this one or these three
are making peace here but those two are
fighting you got cracks in it fill up a
vessel that's got holes and cracks
everything falls out bracha falls out
bracha falls out
peace is everything for the Jewish
people we've got to understand and
that's what we have to do I want to say
the sweetest words that you gotta hear
tonight I'm gonna end with this don't
you like those words I know it
remember The Sweeney go away so long Rob
they obey authority huh in La MaMa show
there is an abundance of peace an
abundance of peace to those who love
your torah and have no stumbling block
if we truly follow the paths of the
torah their hair that they know the holy
see both a huh thank you I'm so glad
you're here because I keep forgetting
the words you know that you're helping
me out everything about the Torah is
peace so when we think we're studying
Torah and we get into fights with our
neighbors we're not following the Torah
that's what we have to understand I'm
the only way there can be there can be
peace among the Jewish people is if we
do that do it from the bottom of our
hearts stop worrying about how great we
are and how we are with jealous of our
neighbors and just understand that we
have to care for each other because all
the greatest people in the world care
for cared for other people and not
themselves they're a shame but we could
care for themselves but the rest of the
world is a shame have no peace have no
peace at all there's no peace for the
wicked it only comes to the righteous
peace only comes to the the righteous
Hashemi about it it's a mall but Shalom
don't forget that God blesses us with
peace so if we will do the right thing
and and have peace amongst each other
make peace with each other do the work
of a harmonica handle our Shalom a
blessed memory then we can be sure that
finally others will say you know what
they have the Kaylie it is not broken
I'm going to pour the broth a skinny a
piece and for that reason we will soon
witness the coming of Messiah
Kaena may come to have their menu attend
us so in Amara main thank you so much
does anyone have any questions yes oh
you're not gonna be hard on me are you
David
not when you go out by like that this
come summer be similar and there's
different reasons but basically pretty
much everybody agrees that there are 613
the question is which are the 613 we
generally go with the 613 of the Rambam
but there is a slight difference of
opinion as to what the 613 are but it's
based on B similarly in the Gemara okay
that was a good question yes sir
yeah but I mean theoretically we could
have come up with another figure but
that's the accepted figure any other
questions
everybody's at peace with everything we
said all right god bless y'all thank
y'all so much for coming we will be
doing our be thin about seven minutes
and 97 seconds in that corner over
