could be somebody literally that's just
meticulous with their mitzvot and learns
on a regular basis specifically when
they learn Allah and how to observe the
mitzvot
so one person doesn't learn the other
person does learn and the ghazoni says
that this
difference may not seem like a big deal
but it's huge
why
he says because the masses which is
majority of people who are ignoramuses
as is well known
view the meatswat as easy to perform
they look at it what rabbit what do I
need to do keep Shabbat okay so don't
drive don't play with my phone
eat relax go to show
yeah no big deal Joe keeps your butt
I don't know why I didn't do it till now
fine I'll keep Shabbat
and to him on day one this is perfectly
fine in fact this is miraculous that
he's starting to keep Shabbat and that
she's starting to keep Shabbat she's not
gonna light fire anymore she's not gonna
go to work anymore she'll eat kosher
food she'll go to synagogue if if
necessary really for women it's not
necessary for them to go to synagogue
it's better for the man to go to
synagogue but nonetheless for the
average person out there even if they're
not about juva
this is what Shabbat is to them
and therefore when they say that all I
need to do is just to keep Shabbat is
this
fantastic I'll keep it
and it seems to them easy in their eyes
but if
you asked
you ask a Taurus scholar you ask a
learned person
about Shabbat
you'll have quite a different answer
because the more a person knows about a
mitzvah
the more difficult it becomes to him
says the khazonish
how so
when it comes to shabbat thinks that as
long as you don't drive
you don't you don't uh
play with your phone
you go and eat you go to shoe you're
keeping Shabbat
knows there's a lot more to shabbat than
just that
as soon as you say the word Shabbat
immediately they say to you 39 malachot
there are 39 restrictions
and there are endless amount of tuladot
things that are born from those things
meaning although there are 39
restrictions there are many many more
things that stem from those 39
restrictions
and if a person doesn't know
then he doesn't even know how to keep
Shabbat
for example
someone asked me just last week
a about eating uh um
pistachios
and different nuts now I gave a very
brief answer yes you're allowed there's
no problem with it
but quite frankly the answer should be
much more elaborate than that if you
were going to the books and if you're
going to go into it extensively why
because as the uh
cephil
Ash by an event from our generation
says that the issues of boreal
separating
are extensive and a person needs to know
them why
he says because the reason why it called
is
to as an acronym for the issues of borer
of separating on Shabbat
the first person needs to know that if
you're going to eat anything
and it has waste on it let's say it has
a peel an orange peel or the peel on the
shells on the pistachio or anything like
that
you have to put some thought into eating
it where you have to know that you have
to take the good from the bad and not
the bad from the good
okay you have to take the good from the
bad and not the bad from the good so for
example if you have a box full of shells
and there's one pistachio in there
now if you take out the pistachio out no
problem
but if you say you know what let me
empty out all these shells and I'll have
my one pistachio left now you have a
problem you just violated Shabbat and
you have an issue of boil so to take out
the good from the bad
that's the first step that you need to
know
second thing is
it has to be done with your hand
not with a tool
don't remove the good the food
from the uh from the bad
with some type of tool do with your hand
so if you're opening the pistachio seat
with your hand no problem if you have
some type of a machine to do it which I
don't even know if it exists but
nonetheless for the argument for uh for
this particular argument let's say
there's a tool for it don't use the tool
use your hand
that's second thing
third
it has to be done for now
meaning let's say for example you have a
free afternoon and you know that you
have a bunch of company coming over
and uh you don't want people to
break their head opening the pistachios
or the sunflower seeds or the oranges or
whatever it is and you decide you know
what let me just peel everything and
prepare everything for everyone
you have a problem why
the preparation is supposed to be for
now not for later
so these three steps if a person doesn't
know them
they could easily be violating Shabbat
while they think they're keeping Shabbat
in fact they can be preparing all Feast
for the community five hours in advance
saying you know what let me just do it
early so I can have time to spend with
my family and in reality they're
violating Shabbat
so it's very important for a person to
know these laws
because if they don't they're violating
Shabbat and going up to heaven and
saying oh I didn't know it's not gonna
work why
says
a person that doesn't know it makes
accidental sense he didn't mean to do it
on purpose but he doesn't know because
he didn't learn on purpose
that
sin that was
accidental turns into a purposeful sin
so you see while the average person
thinks oh it's no big deal keeping
Shabbat as long as I don't kill anybody
as long as I don't drive a car as long
as I don't watch TV I'm keeping Shabbat
well that's maybe what you think but
there's a lot more to it
the intricate details of each and every
single law are an obligation for all of
us not just for the Torah Scholars
and each person needs to know these
details
now of course
a fool will say listen I don't know what
the blessing is for this thing I'll just
say shackle
that shackle is for everything that as
if Hashem created everything so I'll say
sashem create everything including this
so in essence they'll use the same
blessing for everything
this is a foolish person why
because he thinks that he's doing God a
favor with his Blessing
but in reality the blessing is for
himself the blessing is to remind
himself
that God runs the world and God gave you
the Torah and if you simply make a
blessing
that is the wrong blessing because you
care less you have a very serious
problem
says that if a person does not know the
blessing he's not allowed to eat
go find a blessing yeah but I'm hungry
too bad you're hungry should have
learned before now go learn figure out
what the blessing is and then eat
now a person say nah come on no it's not
like I don't think that God cares if I
say shackle or I say uh uh Ave so I say
uh I see this God doesn't care check all
it's everything that's a fool why
because
punishes measure for measure measure for
measure now if you really think about it
who loves you he's gonna start giving
you some of the punishment in this world
because the punishment in this world
will actually help you duchova whereas
the punishment in the next world is not
going to help you there's no chuba in
your mind there's no juvenile
foreign
then everybody gets cleaned up and
but it's not true it's cleaning up the
sins it's cleaning up the spiritual
filth and trust me when I tell you after
you see this film you're not going to
want to go to you know for even a half a
second
but a fool will ignore this and say ah
shackle
and one day they can wake up and all of
a sudden they're perfectly healthy body
all of a sudden can they just bread
and all of a sudden they have Celiac or
they are of malabsorption or they have
some other disease that no one can
recognize
and then okay fine so I can't eat bread
anymore so I'll eat uh I'll eat uh you
know fruits and all of a sudden they
also have more stomach aches and more
problems and all of a sudden they have
hives what happened I can't eat apples
anymore doctor says no no more apples
okay what about bananas no no no more
bananas either okay so no bananas no
apples okay so uh all right so let me
see what can I do ah maybe I can eat
some nuts nope not you're allergic
you'll probably die oh what can I eat
you can eat this green this thing that
some lab created and over there oh
what's the blessing on it shackle so the
only thing you're left with is shackle
how about that would somebody like
something like that no
so remember if you don't know the
blessing don't eat why because the
blessing is important to you not to God
for you to remember who God is not for
God to remember who you are he already
knows so
on the other hand
are as scared as can humanly as humanly
possible from the smallest things and
that's in essence what
the kazani says
he says the T ones that are
very very
knowledgeable find it very difficult
because they know the severity of the
Torah law
and the law is ingrained into their
heart
the gaumi vilna
in a famous story
once was on Shabbat
he uh didn't notice that there was a
eggshell
in front of him
and he touched it
the moment he touched this eggshell
somebody ate an egg there's no egg left
they just show
he calculated weight if it's a shell
there's no egg connected to it it's
waste if it's waste it's a if it's Mook
say I just touched it I just violated
the law he passed out on Shabbat he
passed out on the floor
no one knew what was going on what
happened here they tried to wake up the
rug you okay you okay he got up he
looked at the eggshell again he passed
out again
now passing out two times already yeah
it's dangerous
his dear Mother
who is also very knowledgeable as we
hear from this story
she realized what happened with our son
said wait a second she runs over there
wakes him up as soon as he gets up she
takes the eggshell and puts it in the
mouth and starts eating it
to show her dear son that yes there is
an opinion that bashata when it's really
necessary eggshell could really be food
so it's not really muktay
even though
you can find a endless a number of post
scheme they're going to tell you that
even if you don't have to eat it it's
not multi
but the love of the law and thereby the
knowledge of the law and the severity of
the law
that was ingrained Into the Heart of the
government vilna
didn't allow him to accept any leniency
whatsoever when it came to this eggshell
and when he realized that he might have
violated the law according to somebody's
opinion one of the delay of those
opinions from previous generation
possibly
his heart couldn't fathom it and he
passed out
now of course some people would say oh
this is fanatic
you think that the gummy vilna is
fanatic well they call him a gun what
did they call you
I doubt it's gone
and if you call yourself a gun it
doesn't mean anything
