Good morning. Welcome. Welcome to all
those who braved the storm to you. And
all those who stayed after sh
cuz he could have just ran back home and
had some hot uh hot drink.
Hashem will speak about
shabis.
We'll have some exciting riddles.
I want to dedicate this year to men and
his family.
announcement
next month, not now, still have a few
more weeks. I'm s I'm going to be uh in
the states speaking in different
communities. There's still one shabas
available. If you know of any community
that's interested or an event, one shop
is available as a also a few weekdays
are still available. So if anyone's
interested, let me know. Let's start
with the real
Ysef has some dreams and he tells them
to his brothers they don't seem to be so
happy. The says
they hated him. Later on
they were jealous. So they hated him and
they were jealous.
response when he hears the uh the dreams
he anticipated he's waiting when will
this be fulfilled good so the reaction
of the brothers hatred jealousy father
waiting to see when it's happening and
who was happy to hear ya's dreams
it doesn't seem that anybody's anyone is
happy here right Jacob is waiting let's
see what happens doesn't indicate
anything of happiness who was happy to
hear Yakov's dreams.
What's that? Yseph's dreams. I'm sorry.
Who was happy to hear Ysef's dreams when
he shared it?
>> Ruven was happy.
>> Why is he happy?
>> Because he didn't dream that he's going
to be in the
two points.
>> The medish says Ruven says, "Wait a
second. He is COUNTING ME AS PART OF THE
I was sure I was going to be rejected
after what happened with Bilah. I'm not
I'm not a part of the 12 tribes. But in
his dreams, he is counting me as one of
the members of the I'm part OF THE
TRIBES and I'm not going to save him.
And that's why he decided, you know
what? I'm going to save him.
I'm going to save him.
>> Heard that he is counted. when he heard
that the 11
uh
that means I am counted with everybody
else if everybody else I'm counted I am
part of the tribes even if it's not true
he loves me so much I'm going to save
him that's why he saved him after was
kind of happy when he heard it
>> the the star or the mean the the people
>> in his dreams he's talking about me I'm
part of the members I'm part of the
star. Maybe the star was related to
someone else. Maybe he also
>> soon we'll see who the star is. Soon
we'll see. But here he understands that
he's counting him as part of theatim.
And he says even if it's not true,
doesn't make a difference. Ysef loves me
so much cuz he explains it to himself to
mean that it's the 12 tribes, the 11
tribes other than him. I'm part of the
I'm going to save him. You want to say
something?
>> Maybe it's cuz he was he was
responsible. Maybe that's why he did.
>> He was sure he's rejected from all
theatim. He's not part of the family
anymore. So Ysef shouldn't have dreams
about him. He's outcast.
Since you did so good in the previous
riddle, be careful you don't lose your
points now. Another riddle or nothing.
>> Who's the of who taught him everything?
>> Yeah.
Can it be that Ysef also learned
something from
Asaf is the rebe of Ysef?
>> He sat with him and he gave him a class.
>> You have a proof before I give you the
points.
>> No, because
>> you have a proof before I give you the
points. I'm going to give you the
points. But I prefer I prefer giving
giving you a proof because I'll be able
to give you more points.
>> That's why he was afraid of as
says
when he sold the I'm going to die.
Who cares? Who cares what goes on in
Asab's mind? Why is the sharing this
with us? The should have really said
and he sold his first born rights to who
cares what he was thinking. Oh, I'm
going to die.
says
this comes to tell us that Asav where
does he come from? He came from the
field. He endangered his life and he's
about to die. Why? For the sake of his
father. And from here declared if Asv is
willing to risk his life for what? To
get a good stake for his father, how
much more so I should risk my life. When
Yakovu says to me, go to a very
dangerous place. go see how your
brothers are doing.
He knew that they hate him and they
almost killed him. In fact, that's what
happened. He almost lost his life. So
where does he learn? And in fact discuss
was Ysef allowed to go there. Who says
allowed to go there?
Well, you have to listen to your father
when he says to you viol.
It's against the
not so pleasure that he was allowed to.
So where did he learn that he was
allowed to? from Asaf. He says, "If Asaf
risks his life to get a good steak,
how much more so I should risk my life
when my father commands me to go see how
my brothers, his sons are doing and how
my and how his sheep are doing." That's
his animals. As goes to those type of
animals and I'll go to these type of
animals, my father's animals. And from
here, he learned. So why is all this
written in to teach us saysim how
careful a person should be to fulfill
his father's command could also be his
mother his parents' command and that's
why all this is written
everybody knows this
also
will keep two shabases
comes
the brings a proof
from but we have a rule.
There's nothing that's not hinted to in
the Torah. Where do you see this idea
that you need two shabases and you will
be redeemed? And soon we'll see the
connection to shah because perhaps there
is a connection to otherwise I mean it's
nice to speak about shabas a few hours
before shabas but where do we see in the
if you keep two shabases you will be
redeemed perhaps in a few places in
talking about the says
why do you have to repeat yourself
can't you say it once
put those loaves of bread
maybe because everything has to do with
shabases too
and then what's going to be
to be with maybe that's the or a
different
why are you saying you already said it
is a shab and you repeat yourself and
again you say is a shabas which means
there's Two types of shabases. Two types
of shabases comes
explained
safeguard from desecrating it. Don't
violate the shabas
is the positive. Sanctify it with
sanctify with the kadusha that you
infuse into the shabas. When the gim
says you have to keep two shabases, not
two shabases, one on shabas, wait a week
and keep another one. It's the two types
of shabases that are in one which means
safeguard from desecrating it. Make sure
that you don't violate the shabas and
infuse it with kadusha, infuse it with
infuse it with mitzvah and the explained
differently but similarly he says to do
two shabases means the goof and the ne
you have to give take pleasure and
shabas
have good foods that's for the goof what
about the said learn a little yeah I
know sleeping is also very very
pleasurable maybe for the nephesh I'm
not so sure
>> what's that
>> shamu right I
Maybe that is another
what's the connection to speaking one
about
and the fear of mdash normally this is
not done
one theme for a here I'm putting two
keep my shabases shabases why don't you
say
if you want to be consistent with the
style
two cuz maybe this is the
keep two
when you sayim two shabas says that mean
two more than one shabas in plural that
means two
you know what's going to happen right
right after
don't read it rather you will be able to
see mdash who says this the ends how she
says Shalom. I promise you. I promise
you. Just keep the shabas. What's the
connection between the two parts of the
one you're putting two? Yeah. Cuz shabas
is like shabas is a spiritual mikdash
within the days of physical the activity
that we're always engaging. Suddenly we
move into a spiritual existence that is
shabas.
You're willing to keep a spiritual
existence within that physical world
that you're living. I'll move you into a
spiritual existence. And that is the
when
another idea
talking about
normally you pick one every single day
Friday take two preparing for shabas
over there says
shabul everything that you have you see
with shabas is double
the cob of shabas is two sheep
two loaves of bread,
two candles
and everything about Shabas is two
interpretation
there brings a medish from the
everything
any business that you have to do with
Shabas is double and he gives all kinds
of examples
the we saw you have to take two portions
of the
is double of Shabasim
If one desecrates the punishment is
double.
That's why you say two twice is double
as the warnings are double
the shabas is double mismo
and the same thing you're doubling up
everything about is double the show
brings in
says this is the reason we light two
candles because everything about is
double the
He adds there that anyone who lights
more than two candles actually takes
away from this idea of having the for
and the of the world is not like that.
The meaning of the world is interesting
because the meaning of the world is the
light according corresponding to the
amount of kids that you have at home and
there is no source to that brings all
kinds of different some light seven
light 10 some light two will light 36
and 72 or the more the merrier to we
don't find a real early source saying
that you light corresponding to every
kid that you have you had another light
but that's what the meaning of the world
is with that we can understand the one
of We sing tomorrow,
right? So then we sing
to what
>> what double reward. Everything about is
double. You also get double reward based
on that. That's what the says
bring because everything about Shabas is
actually double. And you see from here
the great
>> [clears throat]
>> Why
and it's throughout conceptual
coned by an action that repeats itself
twice or three times twice
three times and that's how we pass it is
when you see something repeating itself
three times that's a right normally we
like says I'm not going to pass like I
will because I want to redeem you so
much that I'm willing to see only two
shabases and I say you're that you show
me shabas and I'll redeem you and more
than that it's a matter of if you keep
us in it's a spiritual one and a
physical one for us and when it comes to
manners of we don't like manners of sak
we pass the ised by twice for example is
katlanis a woman that get that got
married twice and both lost both her
husbands she is called lethal woman.
She's not allowed to be married. Why?
Twice is enough.
First baby was born in the family. We
circumcised him. Unfortunately, he died.
The second baby is born. Same story. Two
babies already born. We don't circumcise
the third one. Why? Saka says
staying in spiritual and a physical one.
All I want to redeem you. What's
connected that keeping shabas
as opposed to all of the mitas will
bring
and think [clears throat]
shabas as we said before is a spiritual
existence within days of we're occupied
with so many other things physical
things so when one moves into that
physical territory of aesh and says I'm
with you I forget about everything else
so says oh yeah so I'm going to bring
you that which you want which is the
spiritual existence that We're going to
have with
the way
his daughter
all these four told me many times to
tell people to accept them themselves as
a for many good things to accept chabas
10 minutes early and the many people do
that but the trick is not just to accept
chabas 10 minutes early to during those
10 minutes why what's so special about
those 10 minutes which are very
propitious for being answered
where's it a spiritual request
so when you move into spirituality into
a spiritual existence of shabas you're
saying to I just want to be with you
extra time gives you extra
is willing to listen and grant you
whatever you want during those time
because it's something that you have to
do but you want to move into a spiritual
existence
will reward you and grant you your
spiritual requests. That's why it's a
very opportune time to da at that time.
>> When you say 10 minutes early, do you
mean 10 minutes before?
>> 10 minutes before the calendar, whatever
the calendar that anyways you accept is
10 minutes, 12 minutes, 8 minutes, 20
minutes earlier than that. We like to
say 10 minutes because sometimes if you
take too much upon yourself, it's going
to boomerang. Especially in the winter
is very short. But whenever you do it,
so it doesn't have to be 10 because 10
is no school in the number 10. But when
you do it earlier than what you're
requested to do, I'll do extra for you
as well.
>> And use those 20 minutes to accept early
change
is established for
as well. Would you agree with no
you're right most except invas
you can't just decide to change it
because you want to do this you can just
add another five minutes to the 40
minutes that you already do if you
didn't have a custom and you were in a
community in community that you don't
have this custom so then you're free to
do as you wish
>> 45 is over the top
>> you want to say over the top for your
request
[laughter]
>> but After saying all this if in fact
Shab has such a coak to redeem so why do
you need two
and if shab doesn't have to redeem so
even two is not enough doesn't work why
dk what is special about magical about
two shabases
when somebody keeps a shab it doesn't
necessarily show us that he's a shabas
it shows us that yesterday he probably
heard a shir and he was very very
excited he was inspired Maybe he is
afraid of some kind of a punishment
that's going to come next week. Maybe he
wants us to be successful in some kind
need some kind of issue. I'm going to
keep the shabas. You're not showing us
that you're show you're showing us that
you have an awakening for whatever
reason for the next 25 hours. But when
you do that again the following shabas
you're in. You're show that shows
consistency.
Shabas has the to redeem. It's just a
technical thing that we need to see that
you really are shabas and then that
shabas which we really only need one but
in order to establish that you are
we need two shabases but really shabas
in itself has the to after all this
[clears throat]
>> is that all
we'll keep that's the language some
people have the weight corresponding to
so many people so maybe we don't need
the entire but that's the language of
>> 600,000
had corresponding to 600,000 after
saying all this seemingly we have a big
problem
as well
totally different we before read the and
it's very clear
and says no
keep one shabas
all will be redeemed. So do you need two
or you need one? So now everything we
said until now doesn't work cuz you
don't need two. I mean I think very good
votes but it doesn't it's not true. You
only need one.
>> Yeah.
You say the same thing. Keep it as
you're supposed to different words for
the same idea.
Who are you asking like?
Who?
So the bubbly saw of the shi and decided
not like it and therefore we pass in
light the bubbly. SO HOW COME AND DAVID
PASSED LIKE THE shi just one shabus and
we'll only who gave him permission to
pass in like anybody sings it. Do you
ever hear anyone singing just two
shabases?
No. We post why
some explain that yani is talking about
the the result. The bi is talking about
the way to get there. Meaning really you
need more chabas.
The puk says shabas is described after
six days OF WORK.
WORK and then rest. When you decide
finally YOU KNOW WHAT I'M KEEPING THIS
SHABAS AND YOU'RE 42 years old. You know
what you're starting? Show me that
you're tired. You've been WORKING FOR 42
YEARS STRAIGHT. NOW I WANT TO REST. YOU
KNOW HOW TO SHOW ME SHABAS. You're a
person who's tired. The mit of Shabas is
that you work 6 days, not 5,000. So keep
Shabas. Now work six days and the next
Shabas is that Shabas that will redeem
you because that's the SHABAS THAT HE
TALKED ABOUT. THE FIRST DOESN'T COUNT
NECESSARILY. I don't know why you
rested. It doesn't show YOU SHABAS. HE
CHOSE YOU TIRED.
The is saying the same thing. The is
telling you the the way to get there to
get to one shabas that the is describing
is to keep shabas is because now you
really are and if we said we had what we
said before that now your consistency
now when you really know that you are
shab you're just not because you're
resting it's the mit of after 6 days of
work. So therefore these two statements
are not contradiction. No they don't
contradict each other they complete each
other.
Indiva says the two shabas is required
are not two shabas on the calendar. It's
one shabas
but you can't just be thinking about
yourself.
You have to be thinking about others and
make sure that everybody in the world
keeps a shabas
not just your shabas of people around.
We only need one shabas,
your own private shabas and make others
keep the shabas as well.
Go for the what is it called the in
South Africa Rabbi Goldstein I think
that's
>> the Shabas project inspire be involved
in bring others back to see the light of
shabas that is called two shabases yours
and the other people who's keeping
shabas now the same shabas like you but
that's the second shabas I think to
bring
from an explanation of
the says
Don't speak when you're eating. Why?
Maybe the food is going to go down the
wrong the windpipe instead of going
through the esophagus. Dangerous
grammatically doesn't work.
Don't speak. That's it. Should really
say
don't speak. Now what's don't cause
others to speak. What are you talking
about?
So he says many times you see you do
speak in the middle of the meal it
doesn't bother you because when you
speak you're careful you swallow and
then you decide to speak but when you
speak with others and you say something
which is startling to them or so
upsetting or whatever it is they're
going to have to react and they can't
control themselves and therefore this
instruction is not talking to you.
DON'T SPEAK DON'T CAUSE OTHERS TO SPEAK
in the middle of their me in the middle
of their meal
which means just like says and
what it really should have said
what's
cause others to be involved in a shabas
as well. So I think according to works
very very well
that is not only your shabas it's others
as well could be that from the language
of
mean not only your but cause others to
be shab as well
over there in the original statement
recorded from the he has a an idea he
brings some
there's a that say every single day
push us upon him
says
you're so merciful what you did to us.
THE ONLY THING YOU REQUEST IS KEEP TWO
NOT A BIG DEAL.
YOU COULD HAVE ASKED MUCH more in order
to redeem us but that's the only thing
you asked.
And since it's so easy and it's such a
and we don't do it therefore
we are so embarrassed and the writes
spent hundreds and hundreds of years
CAN'T WE GET IT RIGHT IS WHAT ARE THEY
ASKING US and therefore the word shabas
turned around and became BES
because gave us and is willing to redeem
us for two and we DON'T DO IT BRUSHES
UPON him because shabas has turned
around and became bushes because we
didn't do it
maybe in a different way but again the
idea of two shabas is required
in
says is called shabas
he's called shabas
when they're telling us to keep two
shabases it's not two different days of
the week two different days on the on
the calendar keep the shabas the day of
the week called shabas and keep the
honor of the who is also called the
shabas. And this should not be a
wonderment because we see that equated
his honor to that of the
in fact the has a language amazing
writes I'm reading to you
should know
it can't be that person who's not going
to sin everybody sins but you should
know
said there's There's nothing worse
like someone who offends the honor of so
is really interested that we should
honor the and what do the do they wreck
different fences to safeguard the shabas
it makes sense that you should keep the
honor of the two shabases what shabases
the real shabas and the who are
themselves called shabas and they
protect that shabas and it's not so
surprising actually what writes
Nothing worse than than offending the
honor of because the reverse is also
true in the we learn from all the
positive bases in the from all the
greatest one is
the that's the greatest essence.
So it's a both sides of the coin.
Maybe that's why the ple we read before
says two shabases. Keep the one that
comes after the weekdays as we know it
coming in a few hours and keep the
shabas which is the and fear him and
honor him because we have to make sure
to protect that shabas as well. By the
way, why is the zoya calling a shabas?
The is called a shabas. Why? I think
when the zoya wrote it, it was very hard
to understand. Today, very easy. You
call someone up today. Tell me, do you
know the source for this? What does it
say in this? He starts quoting you.
Yeah. You know why? He's working on a
computer as he talks to you. But on
Shabas, you reveal who is the real
because he can't open up the computer.
So now you know who's A REAL
IS CALLED SHAB.
Maybe in a different way. What are these
two?
One has to
do many preparations before Shabas. You
have to get up early on Shabas on
Friday. You have to go and buy things
for the Shabases. The expenses
themselves that you spend for Shabas
says
remember Shabas like on Sunday you see a
nice piece of steak, a nice piece of
meat that you're going to want to use
for Shabas, buy it. Think about Shabas
the whole week. You have to do some
laundry for Shabas. You have to bathe
yourself. You have to go to the mikvah.
Prepare yourself the shabas needs
whatever you need
based. We learned that it's the right
thing to do for women to bake. I'm not
talking right now. If she has to, if she
can go to the bakery because it's a
better and you like it better, you don't
have to supper suffer on shabas. But
there's an Indian of preparations of
shabis which is across the board also
preventing certain things. Don't do
certain things for the honor of Shabas
Friday afternoon. Don't have a big meal
because we want you to be hungry for the
sake of Shabas. Maybe that's what it
means.
So we'll keep two Shabases. What? Two
Shabases. One Shabas that we're familiar
with and the other Shabas is the Shabas
of the whole week. You'll be the Shabas
because you're preparing for the Shabas.
You're honoring the Shabas the entire
week mainly comes out of your mit is
that of one big long Shabas. If that's
the case will be redeemed because we
said shabas is a whole spiritual
existence and wants to redeem us and
bring us into a spiritual existence.
Many of you keeping the shabas all week
even while you engage in other
activities you're thinking about the
shabas you're preparing for the shabas
that's as if two shabases one
preparation and one the actual shabas
and it's like and that's the the reason
maybe use the language
it's like the peel of the fruit that
protects the from the outside there's
keeping the shabas from the inside
that's when you're inside chabas and
there's keeping the chabas from the
outside all the preparations required
and that's what mishamin like
the um the peel that's mir which is
inside what that is the fruit with that
we can understand another
how long is a week
the week that I'm familiar with is six
days
>> is that what it is because
we keep how long is a day in a kesh they
say it's a thousand years and stuff
>> are you a kesh b
>> huh
>> are you a kesh bow
He says day and night that's 12 hours
and 12 hours 24 hours and then it turns
into Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 6 days
like that.
has different his day is a thousand
years
with that we can understand another
says
strange language
never from
what is
removed from even in a weekday shabas
there is no shabas on a week days but
according to what we're saying maybe
that's interpretation there is a shabas
on the week is if you're constantly
thinking about Shabas the whole week
when you say in the morning.
Why you saying
no no no it's Sunday of Shabas you're
always involved says
when you remember the shabas throughout
the week you're involved in shabas of a
week days when you do that in fact is
never removed from after ALL THIS WHAT'S
THE CONNECTION TO
>> WHAT'S the
And that you stop everything and you're
with 24 hours is with you. But on weeks
as if you're forgetting about you're
involved in your business even then the
never is removed from when it's a
weekday of Shabas. It's a shab of when
you infuse shabas the shabas into your
weekdays thinking about it preparing for
it is treating you like as if you are in
a shabas and that maybe is the two
shabasim that are required in order to
be redeemed.
connection to
I thought this week we quoted before
after he heard the dreams of
what's
he was anticipating when will this
finally happen that's saying
in other words throughout the whole week
they anticipate they wait WHEN WILL
SHABAS ALREADY COME WHEN YOU DO THAT
your whole week is one big shabas your
whole big week is one shab redeeming you
because shabas has the power to redeem
when it's done correctly. None correctly
means not only when you jump into
Shabas, when you prepare for Shabas,
your whole week is a Shabas and then you
can jump into Shabas and is always with
you and meets Hashem. For that merit, we
will have the
now we go back to jail. Uh-oh.
Ysef is in jail. And in the morning,
Ysef sees the butler and the baker and
they look like a tish.
Sad face of a tish. What's wrong with
you? And he looks at the calendar. It's
not tish today. And he says to the
butler, "What's wrong?" And the butler
says, "Don't ask. It's such a bad dream
yesterday, a weird dream, and I don't
know what to do with it. And what did
you dream about?" So he said, "I dreamt
that I'm taking a bunch of grapes and I
squeeze them and I make wine and I give
the wine to Pa." I have no idea what
this means. SO HE SAYS, "UH, OH YEAH,
THAT MEANS in 3 days is going to restore
you to your original position." Okay,
I'll take your
baker over. And he runs over and says,
"Excuse me, how much do you charge for
your dream interpreting services?"
No charge. Really? Okay. Let me tell
you. I also had a crazy dream last
night. I don't know what it means. What
do you dream? I saw three baskets of
food on my head and a bird comes and
eats from it. What does that mean?
Oh, you're going to be decapitated very
soon.
How does know this means? And this means
you're going back to your original
position. How does know this? says the
medish.
When the butler started saying his
dream, he was very very active. I took
the grapes. I squeezed him. I made him
into wine. I gave it to po active. Life
is about being active. You have to do.
You have to grow. You have to. You have
to climb. That's why you're here. What
does the butler say? I saw there's some
baskets on my head. I saw there's a lot
of food in them. I didn't put the food
in them. I SAW THE BIRD COMES AND EATS
FROM IT. What do you do? Nothing. He's
passive. Life is not about passive. The
essence of life is to grow. The essence
of life is to do something. Just don't
be a spectator of your life. Your life
deserves participation not
spectatorship. The medish
>> the medish with a little further
understanding and explanation of
the medish says he saw being active
explains why is that so important
because if you're just a spectator of
life that means you're not in you're not
in the game you're out of the game so
that means if you see the baskets on
your head and you didn't place them
there somebody else placed them there
that means you're not active anymore and
being working for power if you see
someone eating from your head that means
there is no all you have is a head that
they will decapitate your head and
that's why Ysef explained to the baker
this way because life demands
participation you have to be active not
just stand there by stand by very
interesting very watching your own life
pass by
disc
where he says
no
>> about rapes
Simto for what? That doesn't mean that
other food is sim
for the butler. But who says the baker
is going to be decapitated?
>> I don't remember that.
>> So now we have one
prison riddle. There's a person sitting
in prison any
handcuffs.
What can he do on chabas that no one
else around him can? Just because you
put him in handcuffs, he can do
something that no one else can. Can it
be
>> carried? He can drain.
>> He can also carry someone else.
Regarding Shabis,
he can do something. Everybody's sitting
in the room together. There's a person
who has handcuffs on and because of
that, he can do something that you can't
do.
>> Let himself be carried.
>> No, in the same room.
>> In the same room, everybody's sitting in
the same room together. And just because
he and you don't, so he's allowed to do
something in chabas, you're not allowed
to.
What's that?
>> He can dream.
>> He can dream. He can also dream.
>> What's the connection to dreams and
handcuffs?
>> What's that?
>> What was that?
>> Says,
"You're not allowed to read to the light
of the candle." Why? We're afraid. Maybe
you're going to tilt the candle and
you're going to cause more oil to be
consumed and have not allowed to do
this.
Says
that if your hands are tied up, you're
allowed to because you won't be able to
do it. You try doing this, it's going to
fall on you. You're never going to do
says if your hands are tied, if your
hand if you tie your hands your kids
hands, I'm not suggesting to do that.
I'm not suggesting that or your wife.
I'm not suggesting to do that or
yourself. You'll be able this gazer
doesn't apply to you and you'll be able
to read to the light of the candle on
chabas
>> doesn't count the new shabus lights you
just move a
you move the uh the piece down makes the
light brighter or lighter that's not
like doing oil
>> electricity is a whole big disc
electricity a whole big discussion does
this apply to or not but the mishaba has
an invention he says even talking about
candles if you put a sign next to your
candles today is shabas Just remember
that should serve as a and this gazer
won't apply. But if you forgot to put
one or you don't put one and your hands
are tied up for whatever reason, this
gazer doesn't apply to you and you'll be
able to read to the light of the candle.
Let's move to Kaneka.
Where's the best place to light
the door?
>> Why over there?
There's another mitz in the that has to
do with door post. Which one is that?
>> That's already there. another that you
have to go to the door and do something.
He says, "I don't want to leave. I'm
having a great time with my master. I'm
staying." You got to take him by the
doorpost and pierce his ear. Why over
there?
But on the porch,
[clears throat]
why by the doorstep?
So when dopost
what does dopost represent? We came back
and we smeared some blood on the dopost.
So the door and the dopost are the
WITNESSES THAT THIS MAN HEARD YOU SHOULD
BE SLAVES to me and not slaves to
slaves. Sole Davka and Kanuka when we
said we do not want to be subjected and
slaves of the Greek the Greeks not the
Greek sculpture not the Greek Greek
spirit we want to only be slaves to we
go da to the doorpost and now we have
another witness
the candles the door the door post now
we have three strong coalition three
witnesses that will testify to these
people are only interested in being
slaves to you and not to anyone else
>> who Is that the candle, the door post?
>> The door, the doorpost and the candles
that you light over there is the
testimony that you do not want to
subject yourself to the Greek
philosophy, culture, and spirit.
Says,
"A house that has two entrances, one on
this street and one on the other, you
have to light in both." Why? Cuz if
somebody passes on this side and they
don't see a mana, they're going to
suspect you. What's going on with this
guy? I thought he's from he doesn't
light candles. And therefore, even
though you lit on the other side, little
lighting bolts. So people shouldn't
suspect you comes the base and asks a
question. Wait a second. Why is this
different than the
where we learn if one is not allowed to
pass by a shul in the time of dening and
not enter the sh what are people going
to say? He's not room. He doesn't want
to den with us. But if the shul has two
entrances, no problem. You can pass by.
Nobody's going to suspect you. So wait a
second. People are not going to suspect
me if there's two entrances regarding
the sh. But people will suspect me
regarding Kanuka. There's two entries.
What's the difference?
What are you saying?
>> Why suspect people?
>> But the says people won't suspect you.
>> That's what that's what
you got.
>> Says
don't cause don't do things that will
cause others to suspect you. You're
right. Each individual should maybe be
judging you favorably, but you're doing
it to yourself. Why are you passing by
the time? So don't do things that will
cause others to raise what's going on
with this guy. But there is a suspicion,
but there is no suspicion regarding a
when there's two entrances. There is a
suspicion regarding the two entrances
and you better do something about it and
light in both places. Why is that?
>> On both places.
>> No one.
But why do you have to go an extra mile
and do light in both both directions?
>> And says no regarding the
>> but if people think that you're he's
going to the farther entrance
>> good
is to light in a different further away
entrance. No, you're right. And
therefore it says
that's the reason that's the difference
between the two comes out according to
there is a greater if you go to the
other entrance. So when you know the two
entrances and I'm passing by I'm not
coming in you're thinking okay probably
wants to get a few more minutes it's on
the way he's going to go to the further
entrance.
There is no reason to prefer a different
entrance in
if there is there's more in the other
entrance.
You not going to have to light on the
other side because everybody knows it's
a much busier street over there. It's a
big accord.
>> You can't see the first the first
>> everybody everybody knows that that
street is very very busy and they know
you have an entrance over there and they
also know you have here but it's a very
quiet. So everybody should understand
you know why he probably didn't light
here. own light over there. Bring up
your suba
is going to come at you're not going to
have to light in both directions which
should be because didn't say that
>> first entrance is on the fifth floor. So
I got a light downstairs also.
>> You can't see that.
>> No, we're talking about a house which is
the
a yard which has an entrance here and
this street and entrance and this street
not a private not a private private
apartment in the building.
the B Y himself answers his question and
he says Davening is different because if
you don't come into the sh the time of
Davening it's as if you remove from
yourself the yoke of heaven it's much
more severe and therefore people will
suspect you but when there's two
entrance nobody's going to think that
you're going to remove the yoke of
heaven obviously you went from the
different entrance has nothing to do
with the yoke of heaven people will
suspect you it's so severe dening so we
say people are not going to suspect you
when they have a chance not to because
there's two entrances is not like that
Or the BF explains a strange answer. He
says Kanuka involves a monetary loss.
You have to buy the oil or the candles
and you have to light it. Monetary loss.
So people will suspect you there's no
monetary loss. Remember there's no
reason to suspect you when THERE'S TWO
ENTRANCES. HE PROBABLY CAME through the
other door. It says the T. What are you
talking about? And Ding is not a
monetary loss. I can be in business. I
can be in my job instead of being here
stuck in the show forever. Of course
it's a monetary loss. So comes the
grandson of says no no there is a
difference
you have to be active and go and spend
money that's
by being in not making money that's
you're not making more money but it's
not called so that's the wanted to say
the says differently
there's no reason to say that in they're
going to suspect him again when there's
two entrances because the many times
that you see him in time of governing
you see him in the marketplace and
that's 100% kosher many times one is
allowed not to be in the sho he's
passing by and he has a good reason he's
going to a doctor he's exempt from
whatever reason there's no reason to
respect him but that's not the case
because everybody has to light so how
come you didn't light there's no
exemptions from the and because he goes
back to the original answer of the if
you don't go into it's like
you remove the yoke of you want to be
involved with The at the time that they
accept themselves the yoke of shimle
domining people won't suspect you when
there's two entrance because they'll say
he's not going to do such a severe
thing. Of course he probably going to go
through this the other entrance but is
not like that and that's the reason we
mentioned I think last week or two weeks
ago the idea that for a positive mitzvah
one has to spend up to
>> 20% of his assets. Good.
A strange
a person who is poor.
He's so poor that he actually goes
collecting.
He doesn't have enough for for a candle.
What does he have TO DO? SELL MY SHIRT.
SELL my shirt. It's more than 20% of
what I have.
Why does he HAVE TO SELL HIS SHIRT?
HINDU MITRA is for fulfilling a mitzvah
only up to 20%.
But you're telling HIM TO SELL THE
SHIRT. IT COULD BE THAT IT'S MUCH MORE
THAN 20%.
Why did become and by the way is only
so why does it obligate you to sell your
shirt? Many many deal with this
question. And some say
we learn that when you light the candles
you say and you say
who spoke to you yesterday and he
commanded you to light the candles. What
do you mean? Where did he write it IN
THE DID NOT WRITE IN THE LIGHT OF
CANDLES?
So how do you say it's
what does it mean? He did not command
us. Yes, he did. Cuz in him, he says,
"You better not deviate an inch to the
right, to the left, from whatever the
tell you.
Don't deviate." That's a and for a for
negative commandment, you have TO SPEND
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE.
The reason you have to sell your shirt
is not for the positive aspect of the
mitzvah. It's for the negative aspect of
the mitzvah that forces you to spend
everything you have. But if that's true,
that's true to any positive mitzvah.
It entails au
don't deviate. So some say is different
because
it's better than all other mites and
therefore it's like a from the or from
the Torah and that's why you should be a
you should have you will have to not you
and will have to even sell his shirt
which is more than 20%. Some say
[clears throat]
since thisness was done
above nature so you go above your normal
nature normally you only have to spend
up to 20% says the here you would have
to spend even more than that differently
in we learn
who does everything right what will he
have
oh that means they're going to learn we
said a couple weeks ago that learning to
you can spend more than 20%.
How much did he spend? 50% from that
little dollar that he used to make every
single day. He gave 50% of that to the
garden in the entrance of the
light.
You're allowed to spend more than 20%
and that's why it obligates you to sell
your shirt. According to that also we
can explain if you're going to have I'm
not investing in the mitzvah.
>> [snorts]
>> I'm investing in my future and to invest
in my future I can spend much more than
20%. You're going to tell me where to
invest my money. I'm investing in if I
think a special a certain and it's going
to be very good for my kid I'm not
allowed to even though it's more than
20%. This is the greatest in the world.
It's called that produces for me I'm
investing in that and that's why one
would even have to spend more than 20%
of his assets.
There's a husband and wife who are
together in the house. Who normally
lights the candles?
>> Husband. When is it that they're both
healthy? There's no vows or anything
like that.
And yet the woman, wife, he she should
light candles.
>> But it's going to be too late.
>> They're both they're both there together
>> in the house.
>> They're both in the house looking at
each other. And he says to you're
running today. Two possible answers.
>> She only has enough candles for Shabas
or
>> they have 700 candles at home.
>> 701. Sorry. 702. Gimatia Shabis.
>> Ashkar together and Yemenite
a little too early.
>> The husband was Shabas early.
>> He went to D.
>> Yeah. He wanted all that every week.
Heab Shabas early because he wants to d
in. He made a mistake. It was shab. He
can't tell him to go light now. So he
has to tell his wife and you light now.
One answer. The other answer.
The husband became an oen.
>> The husband became an oen. His relative
passed away and he still wasn't buried.
At that time you don't do mitzvah.
>> Okay?
>> But we don't want to lose the mitzvah
tonight. So he says to his wife, "Wife,
you light the candles." And he just
watches. That could be on a Friday,
could be on a Monday, can be on a
Wednesday. You did so well in the
previous riddle half.
Riddle of all riddles of Hanukah.
What's the most
you can say when lighting candles
>> and one per night? Three. And they are
three. Everybody agrees.
And my riddle is what is IT YOU LIE YOU
SAY 10 BLESSINGS [screaming]
OVER THE CANDLES.
10 blessings in one night for the same
action that you just told me. The most
you can have is three. 10.
10 points. 10 blessings. 10 points.
>> Don't know what you're going to do with
them, but you get 10 points if you know
it.
>> At the lighter,
>> you're lighting candles. Every night you
do two or three. The first night you do
three. Every other night you say two
brahos. And tonight you're going to say
10 brahos for the candles. Not because
you bought a new garment or anything
like that for the candles.
>> 10.
It could be less. Could be nine and
eight and seven and SIX AND FIVE AND
FOUR. But the most you can say is this.
So I'm going with that. And for that I'm
willing to give you 10 points. 10
points. You remember me having giving 10
points.
What do you say?
>> [snorts]
>> You may lose the other two points. Be
careful.
>> I only have half the answer.
>> Brave man. Yeah,
>> it's on the
>> Okay. Eight candles plus two more.
>> And they are for candles.
>> Somehow we're going to a situation where
you lit a candle and you have to light
it again the next one with a bra. Maybe.
Okay. Here it is.
You did.
No.
>> What's that?
>> He has to do it.
>> He's doing what?
>> He didn't put it in the right place.
>> He's a villain. Talking about
and together standing together
who said the book guy from before
have an answer.
>> What's that? His match went out. He lit
it and he wanted to continue. If you
hold that that that that pursum needs
also. So he tried laying the first one
but then it went out and he needed
>> and who holds a puma requires a ba
>> h
>> and who holds a puma in its own requires
a
>> then we get 10 points. I can answer
that.
>> We have 15 points.
>> The answer is if one forgot to say the
first night and remembers the second
night. What did it do? [clears throat]
He say then
>> what if he forgot the entire week to say
shakanu he remembers on the eighth day
what should he do
and that's what happened this guy night
unfortunately only has one candle so he
lights that candle and he says
oh forget YOUR CANDLE LAST WEEK HOW MANY
PROPHETS DID HE say
>> so we only miss
>> seven right after he lit his friend runs
OVER AND SAYS OH I FOUND YOU HAVE A
CANDLE
according to the opinion that you say
for
who are his OPINIONS
brings him.
So he says another that's the fourth.
Two seconds later another friend comes.
I found another candle.
For every candle that he will say
another
candle.
>> Two seconds later another friend COMES.
I FOUND ANOTHER CANDLE and I found
another I found I found I found another
candle and he gets seven new candles and
seven new bra along with the first three
that he said all together 10os
10 points. Sorry, you're going to have
to save me for a different time. But
this is according to the opinion of the
Abu brought in the
you say for a beautifying of a mitzvah
for he do mitzvah. Obviously not
everybody agrees according to this
opinion 10us. Obviously it can also be 9
and 8 and 754. If it happens in the
second night or third or fourth and
fifth night accordingly you just have to
add more per candle that you will light
after not having them initially when you
lit the
Each one of them requires a
few if you only if you didn't know they
were coming
>> of course otherwise you were talking
about a villain I talked about the
BOY [screaming]
FROM the land of Shilas listen to a
crazy is a store owner
says the following. I sell donuts,
special donuts for Galdik, not your
regular
jam. Is a Hindu mitzah type of a donut
with all kinds of I don't know vanilla
and chocolate cream inside whatever you
want.
Each donut like this cost eight shekels.
Regular regularly it's much less of the
the simple donuts but this is eight
shekels. So he says one day he had a
special mah special sale and instead of
eight shekels only four shekels. He
wants to bring people into the store.
Good. A few days after this sale a young
buck comes in and he doesn't look like
he wants to buy anything. He looks
embarrassed and upset. He goes over to
the store and says, "Can I speak to you
for a second?" "Yeah." Takes it aside.
Says, "Listen, I'm so sorry. I came to
apologize.
I stumbled
a few days ago. You had a sale. You
invited people come in and the smell of
the donuts.
Get in. I couldn't resist. I couldn't
resist. I didn't have the money. I took
10 donuts to give to my family and I
came home and I gave them. They were so
excited. But then said, "Where did you
get 80 shekels from?"
And my father is no fool. And he started
interrogating me and he realized I told
him listen I acquired him Kenyan Mashik
without Kenyan Kf I [laughter] did
Mashik I killed him but no KF involved
my father immediately gave me 40 shekels
to give you and therefore I came here
now to apologize please forgive me and
here's the money and the ster says to
you I really appreciate it but you still
owe me another 40 shekels which is why
you publicize your big size you're ALL
OVER FOUR SHEKELS TODAY SO WHAT DID I
I took donuts which are worth four
shekels each time 10 that's 40 shekels.
Excuse me. Excuse excuse me. The sale
was for buyers not for shoplifterss.
It's not a sale for gnav.
It's a sale for normal HUMAN BEINGS.
HONEST NOT FOR GUN. What are you kidding
me? The real price is eight shekels.
Imagine system there's a store owner who
sells a whole chicken for one shekel
because he wants to bring people in and
somebody comes and steals a chicken. The
value really is 20 shekels. You think he
only has to pay one shekele because
today he decided to sell it for one
shekele. Obviously the value of this
chicken is 20 shekels. The value of this
donut is eight shekels, not four. The
fact that I reduced it for a few hours
because I wanted to get some people in
doesn't mean that you have to pay only
40 shekels. You have to pay 80 shekels.
And the guy says, "Listen, I caused you
a loss of 40 shekels because if it
wasn't me stealing them, somebody else
would buy them for 40 shekels. So how
much did I cost you to lose?" 40
shekels. So I don't have to pay spend
more than 40 shekels.
What do we do?
>> 80 shekels. 160 shekels.
>> NO, I MEAN 80 THE REAL [screaming]
VALUE. WHY?
>> Because he's going to know double. He
has to pay double.
>> Uh double that's in basin. We don't do
that today.
>> No.
>> No. He wants to know between the two
what he should pay.
>> The value.
>> The real value is what? Eight.
>> Uh-huh.
>> What about what?
>> He's not the real value. The real eight
is how much he needs.
>> Eight is what I normally sell it today.
I sold it for four. To whom? To people
who want to buy it, not to him.
>> I normally sell not the value of this.
He's calling that a headset. The
motorcycle adds to paying for the air
conditioning or the heater in the store
also and the lights and paying for the
salary of people. That's not the value
of the donut. The donut is value.
>> So when you when you steal something
from a store, you don't have to pay
according to the value that they sell it
at.
>> Market value.
>> What about sold out? Sold out his full
supply.
>> Yeah.
>> Then that guy took another 40 shots that
he would have gotten had he not.
leftovers anyways. So,
>> so what's the difference? Anyways, you
wouldn't sell it.
>> He took it.
>> What's the for what you're saying?
Where'd you get this from? Did you go to
B and that's where you got it from? I
think you did. Let's explain what it
means. The tells us a story. There
wereim, what are we going to callers?
They helped the store owner.
>> Porters.
>> Porters. They help the store owner carry
the barrels of wine. They were negligent
and they destroyed one barrel bar barrel
of wine. The whole thing spilled and the
price on the market day is five zoos.
Let's switch it to dollars. $5.
Non-market days where there's much less
demand. It's only four zoos only $4.
What should they pay? $4 or $5. They
destroyed it. When the market value is
five some kind of a similar to our case,
a regular price and then there's a
market. There's a market day when
everybody comes. Less demand, more
demand. When I invite people, there's
more, there's less. Here, it's the
reverse because I invite more people and
I reduce the price. That's I want to
bring people into my store. But the idea
is the same.
So, how much do these borders have to
pay? $5 or $4?
>> Five.
>> Five. Always.
>> Can they say, "You know what? I don't
want to pay you. I'm going to give you
back a barrel of wine."
>> You're saying, "Yeah."
>> Let's see what the says.
>> The dean is like this. If they pay him
on the market day or just before they
can pay him either a barrel of wine or
$5.
If they pay him other days, non-market
days, they still have to pay him $5 and
they cannot give him a barrel of wine.
Why can't they be give him a barrel of
wine? The porter can't say to the store,
you know what, why don't you take this
barrel and just wait one day there will
be another market day. Next month there
will be another one. They're not let it.
It's very similar to what he's saying.
Why this dean that they have to pay
after the market after the market day
$5. It's only if the store owner was
missing wine. He sold everything and he
could have sold this as well. But if he
had extra wine and he didn't sell it. So
then he cannot say I said I I could have
made a bundle here. you broke it for me
because
he didn't sell what he had and therefore
the porters can actually give a barrel
back. So the is about the what exactly
does this mean? They have a lot of
different questions. When exactly do the
porters break the barrel? When do they
have to pay five? When can they give an
barrel of wine? When is it sufficient to
say you know what give $4 and that's
also good? There's ma major three shitos
regarding this. the of the whether the
person is a mazik cause damage or
whether he's a thief he has to pay like
the time
whatever it is in the time that you
damaged the goods that the value back
then that is what you have to pay and we
don't care if the value of it moved up
or down the raam says a mazik person who
damaged has to pay like the value at the
time that he pays you come back two
weeks later two years later and there's
inflation So you have to pay according
to the new value gazlan according to the
according to the time that he stole it
and even though it moved up in value or
it devalued doesn't make a difference he
pays according to according to the
understanding if at the time of
everybody knows this thing will move in
price tomorrow is the market day or for
whatever reason this thing this item
will move up in price he has to pay
because of dini
gma is indirect damage
GMI is a more direct damage and we force
a person even though he only damage him
in a indirect way but it's a much more
direct type of a damage than the GMA he
has to pay it because of that he has to
pay the new value that will be the
following day in the market day going
back to our at the time that he stole
the donuts they were worth 40 shekels
we should say he has to pay 80
Why 80? It's not like the person who
destroyed the barrel of uh of wine that
the price is let's say four shekels
because he only has to pay four shekels
because the real value of these donuts
are 80 shekels and only because of the
sale I'm willing to reduce it to four
shekels and yet in our case he only has
to spend 40 shekels and not 80. Why? The
donuts that you sold today you wouldn't
be able to sell tomorrow if they were
left over. What are you saying? I caused
you a loss, you wouldn't be able to sell
it. They were dry, stale donuts. Who
would buy tomorrow's don yesterday's
donuts for eight shekels? Nobody would
do that. So if this person wouldn't
steal them, you would be able to sell
them and get what? You would get only
four shekels per donut. So what loss did
I cause you? The most that I cause you
is 40 shekels. So the most I have to pay
is 40 shekels. If it would be something
that I can sell tomorrow, it was a
drrele doesn't expire. it doesn't become
stale and you have some donuts left over
and you sold let's say it's a donut that
time resistant it doesn't expire after a
day and you sold them the following day
for 80 shekels so then the guy who stole
it he would have to spend the entire 80
shekels we have to spend because that's
