welcome back Rabbi Dr elzar BR we are
winding down Season Two
onki Season Two once again has been
sponsored
anonymously and we thank our
sponsor today we're g to be
discussing has been well known it's well
documented the tens of thousands
possibly hundreds of thousands of
questions
answered and there
are people have private letters it's
it's English something which is
unprecedented in modern history the
amount of questions that he answered and
himself was asked like why did he spend
so much time answering questions why did
he spend more time writing his so R
Brat's gonna talk about this a little
bit I'm sure he's going to find
something new as he always does find
something that's sourced until
ultimately he's gonna get to a
from that perhaps was basing some of
what he was doing on so BR how are you
today I'm we're looking forward okay so
basically the last few episodes we've
been discussing
the the some more aspects of which is we
focusing on a concept known as kki
himself coins it a
safer um so we discussed some various
different aspects of liot farm
throughout the ages V there's much more
to discuss we we um spent two episodes
dealing with a little different aspects
with it and then the third
episode moving away from Li but then
ultimately getting back to Li far we
started talking about kki writes all
over that he's not a p it's
not so we spoke about listing
other that also went with such a and
said that they're not writing it as
they're just writing it down but in the
end ultimately all those different from
the sh the and others they ended up
becoming as we know the key in the world
of so similarly that's really what
ultimately happens he's screaming that
the is not but today already it's um
considered safer and in that we got into
whole discussion with the maram um about
maram some people were upset about the
maram but ultimately also the maram
becomes um listed a whole bunch of
unbelievable safer in the world of now
what's Nea for us today and to to find
tune some of the aspects is as FS number
one is that I'm when I'm keep when I'm
saying in the past few episodes kki is
calling Hiser
a not call I don't think that it is he
calls it and then and I show
that but ultimately and I showed that
the also called his
own both of these are filled with anyone
knows when you open up you look at the
how he goes through the sugya bringing
down everything and and how he's M so
many different things as he's being Mal
things but he's being he's holding the
unbelievable and so I'm not coming to
call it I'm going how he says such a
thing now What's significant is that
there were that relates to let's say the
the mar is a it's a of but it's more
than that it's also we find his own
voice in the safer meaning to say
there's Le which is something that I
mention briefly is that there are that
are just malaket they just quote um
sometimes they don't even say what they
say sometimes they
say sometimes they'll say the sh says
it's whereas there's others that they
engage in the the material that they're
quoting
veryit such a safer will be the
marki Mish are also similar in that
aspect so there there's obviously
multiple different meanings to the word
le anyway so just to bring this out
further is I quoted that lash the stier
who was also into certain Le Farm
amongst them the maram one of the Le
Farm the the styler was into was the of
the so the so this is a I've already
mentioned a few times and I hope very
soon to release it especially now is
that the nus we devoted a whole episode
to nus and one of the aspects we dealt
with is the
n the styler said that it was known RA
in Europe before you got a job you made
sure to get a what's the point the point
is a r sometimes is in a situation he
cannot open up all this far and he's in
a situation during daving most so he
doesn't know what to do so made a safer
a handbook a rabbi's handbook so to
speak so we I spoke out then bringing
that became it became beyond popular
it's not it's probably even impossible
to calculate how many times it was
published because it was published in
numerous s and immediately was but the
point is it was looked even though the
writes here he does not write what he
writes in other of his that Nota here he
is willing to assume that it'sa but he
just says I'm not really being Mish I'm
being
from any list to such
as and others but the point is at the
end of the day this is telling you what
to do because I'm I'm in a bind I don't
have time to learn this I'm a rabbi a
guy comes ask me a question in middle of
ding what do I do I open I look at my
and found my S and and said this is how
became accepted the just one anyone
opens up to
M says he includes it as one of the
things that he's adding into his and you
learn through M you see how many
multiple times he's quot voting Theus in
so I was found very interesting is this
week I came across on a on a forum that
someone brought up he found this
major son of a great P has
a seems there was some question about
something and the based on
a based on elaba and he wanted to show
that it's elaba and theas we have two P
can pass like this so says
no don't count him as
a he
wrote It's not that the is telling you
that the is like the then he says
you have to be mind to this so This
sounds like a very this is a fascinating
chuva
from where he seems to be saying that no
it's not me say all the people Everyone
that using the and they're putting in
the S it's not which is which is very
it's very hard to understand and someone
over there on this form tries to um
tries to explain what does mean but the
problem is more than that what spoke
about in this episode on the nus is the
re AER besides being a close friend and
giving an unbelievable H to the Nas's
work he also writes hundreds of on and
he's with it as so yes it could be and
this is a complex discussion in but when
you have nothing else in front of you
and this is what you have the the Nas
and you're a r and someone ask you the
Sha and you're relying on the nist
you're it's good you're good to go
anyway so so the point is here we have
again theer and we have that it's not
clear what the kavana of theas we we
seem to think that it and as as I said
the Mish thinks the Stifler and others
that it's a to rely on whereas saying no
it's not don't be it's just being it's
just to
make that the should go check maybe says
and maybe he doesn't and seems to hold
not like his son anyway this is a
complex discussion and there's a lot
more to find tune about it but not for
now now but the point is that there's a
concept of and as I said there's
multiple levels of that are plenty when
they're being Mal such as the and
now but there's a there's a more General
point which is how is the
author the is the intention of the
author and then there's intention of
what ends up happening so here let's say
we have again saying the he didn't
really intend it to be and it ends up
getting a life of its own so now we we
what we spoke about already start to
talk
about I'm not a p what do you mean you
are a pis so now we have we have a crazy
amount of literature to point to forget
about that he says by the that I'm not a
pis we know that he wrote it seems for
years and years possibly answering
between 80 tras a day and these tras had
sometimes seven eight questions to maybe
even 120 questions a day for years and
years I mean I don't even know if they
know the exact year when it start I mean
I guess they could pinpoint when it
started but they don't know to when it
started becoming crazy amounts of
letters but basically he's been we're
talking about thousands upon thousands
of letters so now what what what's it
going on in these letters that so that's
obviously a question so if people are
asking him which there were plenty of
times they're just asking him a simple
question not a question asking where's
the gar many times these questions are
where
they saw
brought with his crazy something okay
but but we know today because so many so
many swarm that are published have these
letters and not only that these letters
have a lot of these letters have been
published by themselves and we'll we'll
discuss more about fine-tuning all the
different works that there out there of
these letters but there's plenty of Al
they ask him different questions
straight straight up in Al so much so
that a bunch of years ago um it's
already um it must be almost 15 years
ago maybe even a little longer they
decid it seems he kept a copy of the
letters so they decided you know let's
make a a
volume and topics of the letters so they
collected the letters and they started
doing it from the beginning
of they skipped let's say they put out
this massive work and the point was they
have a team of people going through it
to writing beum on it someone's funding
this project it's done by the family ofi
and he authorized in the beginning and
he was involved with many different
aspects of it and we'll discuss what it
is that he's involved with but the point
is these are questions straight up
revolving and we know that the questions
go everywhere
they're so so again he's answering
someone what what does that mean is he
answering you is just telling you oh you
want to know you're asking
me doesn't mean Nowa as I said it's it's
we will find two different aspects of it
but
there are so many volumes of literature
that that that this relates to now some
of the letters that have been published
in recent years are just letters and
learning and some of these letter some
of these volumes are incredible there's
two volumes of letters between him and
which we'll discuss more soon enough
Victor nans is a whole volume of letters
mindboggling what's going on in these
letters interesting at one point they
published in his
lifetime um a volume
called which they collected tons of
materials that he wrote to to let's say
sometimes he gave epas to certain a lot
of letters that they got and it looks
like a regular TR it's not like some
people were used to what's thing you'll
say
Kan if come in there's some these like
these like onew answers in this volume
which is it's it's
called There's real letters some of them
could be more than a page about specific
things they collected them from all
different places they have letters with
him and theable Yash of letters real
letters so there are all types of
letters as as I'm saying and we will
discuss more the different types of
letters now one of the things that's
cute about these letters is recently
I've mentioned many times is that
there's auctions farm auctions that take
place weekly daily sometimes and so
there so ready for years different
letters of kki go on auction they don't
go for so much money obviously you hope
to have a letter that has good content
that maybe then it will be
exciting you mentioned auctions there
some news item
recently be orender was auction enough
for $2 million you have any recollection
any no that was yeah no so they the the
in the auctions they also auction off
articles of clothes and tenders and this
this took place even right the middle
the SCH they sold his tender for
something like a million dollars a
private auction there's different
there's different auctions some of them
we don't even know about we just find
out afterwards and they're exorbitant
sums of money sometimes and the the
articles of clothes also of his and
stuff like that I'm not getting into
that that's actually there's a whole
conversation behind what why they do
because in the world they very much do
it but they did it for rash the the
go-kart that used to take rash from his
house to his to his his Sho they
auctioned it off and went on auction and
it's known they auctioned off and they
sold the glasses of Kes so this is a
common thing in the lfish show world
also lit Fox could no longer make fun of
that the that do it only did it LFX also
do it okay obviously the question is
who's buying it it could be it's that
are buying of these lit Fox and maybe
that's different discussion also anyway
but the point is these letters of so
they've auctioned
off has already been sold on
auction shomi has been sold I believe um
Rabbi fredman Rabbi Freedman the famous
hershy Freeman hasy Freeman bought it
and has it I think I saw a picture in
the mishak magazine article about him
with it on display in his library now
what's fascinating is it's scanned
available for the public at Hebrew
University nonetheless Library you could
look at it online
all so it's not sometimes and I've said
this in the past I think and I'm always
very upset sometimes you find these
auctions unbelievable discoveries and
then someone buys it and he keeps it in
his house he doesn't want anyone to know
about it here no I must say
the are accessible to people so now
letters also they've been going up on
auction even when he was alive
so randomly I from time to time I check
auctions for for multiple reasons not
important for right now why
butki some letters I come across just to
mention the types of letters that he
gets someone ask and this is going on
auction I believe in a few
days um is it true that the stier said
you cannot learn mishna with
perish and the guy WR he heard two
reasons one is because of and
two
this a fascinating question
says then he
says what's it referring to so it's
referring to over there the
says okay very interesting it will be
interesting is if that was the only
letter we have but they also auction off
and they don't make the connection
another letter and this letter is as
follows could someone learn the of
Liber could someone buy from the B Med
from
jts they put out many
different so he
says there's no to learn the
of he says no it's not it's it seems
that he holds it's not a problem um to
buy far from them so I think in this one
he says he's not sure but he says you
could use it what's fascinating is is in
theu the Stifler was asked could you use
you have to understand rki and andman
and they're all family and if you
remember the first episode I said how
wrote Godless
about so maybe that's why is nice about
it but anyway the point is but the point
is thatu he was asked Styler was asked
could you look at the which you have to
understand the significance is way
before had anything to do with the
conservative this when he's learning in
he's he's
learning official any no problems St
says no you shouldn't look at it so here
we have a letter written from in it's
dated it's in the 90s I believe it is
and so this letter is also going on
auction so you see you it's mind Bing
we're talking about a person that's
writing 120 letters a day or something
what you could probably find them is
mindblown okay the point is like this
and we'll discuss more some interesting
questions but obviously I do not plan on
giving 50 episodes just to mention all
the different Kaka questions that people
ask I just they I just randomly came
across them to bring out a point now so
but this is a question that was
discussed while was alive I used to
always hear people talk about it during
his L afterwards and during his SP I
heard about it I also used to complain
about it which is as
follows just said he's writing a crazy
amount of questions he's answering a
crazy amount of questions he had a
special room to do it he he did
it he had a system how he figured out
what obviously he couldn't know always
kit it takes time this is not even even
I'm not saying he has to open up his
Library the point was that was actually
fascinating did it off the cough but
still takes time to answer people he's
doing well pen he's not dictating it to
people so the question that I asked and
many people asked
is why is it so important to answer
these questions especially if you look
at a lot of the questions are not such
significant questions he can ask any you
can ask any learned person they can
answer it's not like they ask him the
most complex questions okay that's what
we understand we need rki for so the
question that was asked is R keski had
so many more for to write we know he
began writing on katum it could be that
he even would have done on Tyrus instead
we don't the volume on Kum is Tiny and
so people complain these questions he
spent hours a day on it took away from
what we CL saw was Z would have been Z
to have this Monumental work on Kim and
and perhaps even on tyus so how kki
justify answering every Tom literally
Tom Dick and Harry that asked him a
question and he answered them what's
going on so so so what's fascinating
about kki is that one does not have to
speculate people have asked them every
single question including this many
people had this conversation with them
they asked them what's going on how
could you
justify doing this it's coming at the
expense of others farm so lamal the
famous person that we've discussed
already numerous times which we still we
hope to have him um on the podcast is
RAB uer who like to have a special
relationship with he too asked kki about
it at different times um in one of his
far he he has a whole footnote about it
discussing what's going on seems gave
him different times different answers
one is
that
it's didn't have he was in rash it seems
he might have been a rash for a RAB for
a day and the Ty wasn't working so he he
took him away from it so the point was
this was a form
of because we
know so this was some type of musl by
answering letters he's being um
educating CL okay so there is a aspect
to that nuda but um and this is
something that we will have to discuss
at point in time the whole concept of
writing a safer one of the Milas that
point out is that that's you're you're
becoming a re
forus mean say you could give a Shear
especi this is in the days before it
could be recorded obviously the
recording changes a lot in this
conversation but if let's say someone's
giving a Shear on chabas so it's very
important giving a Shear but writing
something down has
a so still held that there's a there's a
there's some aspect of being another
answer is he wanted it gave people um it
gave the the
sender to be Mas learning it helped them
and and the SEC and the last answer
which is a which is answer which we'll
deal with also is sort of Rahman he knew
that the people who sended him they're
waiting to hear from him and and they
want to get the answer and it and it
helps them a Bak young Bak all of a
sudden has some question whatever
whatever it is he maybe even try to ask
a few different people all of a sudden
he gets an answer fromi he's all so it's
sort of like
AI was doing by
um answering the by answering all these
people so my uh intent is to try to
deal we're going to try to explain and
Enlighten some of these aspects so first
of all there's a general question and
this question is like this do we find
other that they had to sacrifice their
for for their job so to speak or for
other maybe they want to write a certain
thing and then they had to write
something else so it's definitely
precedent for this just to mention two
examples that come to mind one
is was a he was sitting and
learning in a um K learning for I think
it was something like 19 years after he
was married plugging away being prolific
publishing stuff he already published a
few volumes and then he gets the offer
to become a rashash Shiva called so he
had a major suff because he had in his
head already material for many more
volumes in Zam but he needs time to
write you can have a lot of times you
have material but you got to have time
and the funding to write it he knew that
if he becomes the rashash Shiva it's a
whole different track he's not going to
have the ability to write this far so he
had a Shila and he asked and he was told
no you should give it you should daa
become yes CL is going to lose out on
let's say he was working on tumis at the
time the rest of tumis and some other
volumes in
but it's more important for you to do
become a and less known in America we we
don't Focus this much because we know as
the pis but basically he was a MAG here
first year based medish for years and
years he had thousands of T over the
years he was excellent mag sheer
excellent in depending on how different
people Define it he gave excellent Shear
very important shear and he was
thousands and thousands
of he still remained the P of in in
in the World At Large a incredible
incredible pis that was that already he
was in his low 20s this is what they
realized it was going to be the future
were writing about him like in such
glowing terms so it ended up basically
that he got he became both just we did
lose on some of these volumes another
person was the Mal the Mal was a great
great G and he started working on which
is one of the most mindboggling Works in
our known as art it didn't get too far
basically as a battling of the musum he
ended up spending the rest of his life
to write a systematic IND Parish
defending T in his work which deals with
aish and then moving further on to
writing
aish and you needed someone with the
greatness of the Mal such a tremendous
and some people said it's a shame we
lost
out lost
out but it's very possible and this is
what's been claimed that we would not
have had a of the Mal stature to be able
to put out a Mal type of work on tan so
we needed it okay so the point is
sometimes you God is faced with a
situation I what to do so here sh stuff
that this is what he's supposed to be
doing that he's supposed to be doing
this for
people okay
Nowa and um so just two issues to
discuss that I would like to discuss
over here first it was like this a
what what's the story with a a RV gets a
question okay um which is very common
raban today got emails Sam ranam are
um techsavvy more and more they their
WhatsApp groups or they all different
things they get questions non-stop so
the question is what's their as a I'm
not talking about for their salary I'm
talking more about
the so interestingly enough I quoted
this in the past that that um there's a
a fascinating small count that Ritz
wrote over 50 years ago of different
things that a a r should know so one of
the things is like this he brings down
he tells to it's a it's
also which basically there was a
discussion these
two were taking being taken out to be
killed they were crying it was a whole
discussion and basically the question
was they were trying to figure out what
did they do wrong and it sounded like
one of
them so much so that this according to
this this
early and as I said it's also and other
places it sounds like that a r has to be
available all times to answer questions
I went to sleep doesn't help a phone it
has to available you can't have a
blocked phone number this is what Ritz
writes now obviously the question is
what's thear of this does a does a RV
need to be available 24/7 so it's not
simple but the but he he says when you
read gum books this is whereit says you
sometimes find that certain gum had set
times that they weren't available so he
um he says that's not so simple but we
do find that they were that did have um
just to mention two m about this number
one is back to
so as I said he was very very accessible
all the years and but at a certain point
in time later on in life he locked
himself up for about two hours a day
what was he doing he basically realized
that the is a classic it's becoming used
thousands of times a week by all of clel
so he decided to go through the safer
again to check over that everything that
was said in his name was his and to look
it over and he didn't and he didn't want
to be interrupted during this period of
time so it was known you couldn't
interrupt him during this period of time
on the other hand I I heard um um one
time I was talking to a RV and the r was
complaining to me he doesn't have time
to prepare Shear so I said why don't you
just take the phone off the hook
whatever a few hours in your week or
something and prepare share then and the
rest of the time you'll be accessible so
he told me this R like this he has a
cabal from Raa Raa basically from when
he woke up till when he went to sleep
Sat by the phone to be accessible and
everyone knows I I wasn't to know such a
thing but basically froma so to speak
opened up shop till
till he was always available to answer
questions he answered everything the
most complex questions on the spot he
was completely available this is similar
based on
this possibly taking
this now interestingly enough this isit
I'm saying is bringing this up but what
about other do they handle such a thing
so I come
across that um I mentioned last week we
were talking about the maram the
greatness of the maram so the maram to
put in perspective is a
gal so the aderas after inspector dies
he he puts who's his his like the God's
God is gonna be the maram so he writes a
trva to him now just have to understand
this is how he refers to the marsham in
this trva
and then he writes him a whole um
question this is in Mano now in maram in
Tru marsham we find the trua that he
asked the marsham one of the TRU that he
asked him was involved this type of
thing which he brought
up and he wanted to know as
a and it seems that the said it's a this
it's not clear to how exact fun when
because the p is it's some type of when
you
learn and as I said is taking it to be
like that but if you take this to be out
of sa it's you're pretty much making it
impossible to be a RV because a RV to be
so accessible so every second of his day
it's gonna it's it's it's basically
impossible now interestingly enough just
to um mention relating to this with
similar with that Daris is that darus so
so he wrote he left behind millions of
one of the things he left behind was
incredible autobiography in this
autobiography he's complain he writes
basically the town was not paying him
the salary this is Con constant problem
for rabam in general and the aderas
suffer from this greatly so he didn't
know what to do so he asked the advice
and basically the the he
says answered him there's no problem do
not answer them their questions until
your salary is paid and and then he
says so there is such a concept if
you're if you're not getting paid then
then there there's at least that for the
R so if the R's getting paid so now the
question might be what's a salary what's
included in the salary okay anyway we're
not going to I don't know and we'll let
the r um give a share about that okay
now the last for today that I like to
bring out is relating to understanding
where is this coming
from tremendous of that we are seeing
Illustrated over here in in this action
we're talking about spending multiple
hours daily every day for years and
years and this man had what to do with
his time as they say so what's theat I'm
G I'm going to bring out two total
different types of M um if this time for
sure one we'll see if we have time for
the second number one is like
this so a lot of times when I prepare
the shum I have no idea what am I gonna
say and as they say it's
um all of a sudden I'm thinking things
walking randomly a thing that I'm
working on something else could come to
light and all of a sudden put things
together from different topics I I
sometimes I I'm like Blown Away how this
even happens and and if you speak to
anyone that has to prepare share this
happens to them also so a few weeks ago
I was working on I gave over aab and
about gum books um a topic that I've
collected material for close to um I've
been reading G books for close to 40
years and I've had a massive amount of
material about it so I said I'll start
in order for me to talk about a topic I
um if I talk about a topic that helps me
start to being able to write to get my
ideas in order so I was working on it so
I was telling over a friend of mine um
some the that I said I was talking to a
friend of mine and all of a sudden what
I said then all I realized that's going
to help me over here because I had
this how could you spend so much time
answering people answer spend an hour a
day the amount of hours that he was
spending on it we lost CL there's not
there's no replacement if you notice
just to point this out there's no Mish
typ safer
on and forget about when you get the Kim
and Tyrus who could have done kach and
Tyrus the person who did kki I there's
GNA be many different ones look there I
mentioned this there's dozens of Miss R
likes but with with the person likei be
finded I I'm not too confident so I'm
bothered I'm bothered now so I'm telling
talking to this friend of mine I'm
saying over what I said in the in the
she
books and then it comes in the
conversation I remember a conversation I
had with someone else
about we were having a whole
conversation about the and and in the
course of that conversation I was saying
again something that bothered me again
it's bothers me it doesn't mean it
bothers it doesn't mean it's a question
doesn't mean
anything we know was a he he founds
the and everything he doesn't publish
anything he left behind his
Tris which ends up in three different
fires getting destroyed he left behind
the work on a which some of it survives
and he leaves behind this work called NE
now he's on his deathbed already and he
and you would think what and this is
very sad we're talking about theal of
the we barely have any of his tire left
behind we have something like 17 Chas of
his we have
in but we don't have his so you think on
his death bed what's he going to say
he's talking to his son the person who
takes over to be the Riva another great
G he's gonna give him tell him please
publish some of my publish my chis It's
Gonna Change it's we're talking about
it's gonna make in the world of if my
chuvas and and we know he had dozens and
dozens of tras he was consulted for
complex shus auna shus and much and all
different complicated things so it could
have changed the world
of what does he tell him no print
Myer
laa um in the what happens he doesn't
print it right away he has a fire he has
a death and then and basically he
realizes that that he takes it that what
did he do wrong he didn't listen to his
father to publish
right away so he goes ahead and
publishes so first I had as a
fascinating thing was that here you see
that held that this is the most
important of his Works to be to make
sure to be published was okay so
obviously someone has to be in what's
going on in that was so important for
that he held this should be his lasting
Legacy but more than that in this
introduction he tells his son something
else and this is this is written by rash
every person is not created for
themselves whatever you could do for the
other person that's what you were
created to do now if I said this
sentence and I told you said it okay
here we
have is talking about what is the point
of
everything
unbelievable that this is the
Legacy on his deathbed and it seems he
would say this cader is
telling this is what it's about so now
and so I'm looking at it so now it's
starting to make a little more sense
because that's what's going on more in
the is understanding the importance of T
and which is a way not only it's not for
the person himself it's for the world
and by learning and ding for the world
this is an important thing but it's more
than that this is a unbelievable that
who's saying this not a not a if I would
have found this in the say of course is
gonna say such a thing now okay go f I'm
going further so I come across a book um
I come across it many years ago and then
finally it comes out this book is what
so the was
a to put in perspective who he is he's
a and he's the father-in-law of one of
my heroes zern who he spoke about a
whole episode The Y episode um about him
and is this
giant and maybe one day we'll talk all
about him but the point is his son his
other son-in-law
not term but his other
son-in-law writes a um a biography about
his he was also a r who was a
tremendous who dies young um in his low
50s I believe it was and basically he
writes by
sorry he was the r of pinsk not a small
little not a small little place so he
writes after nter a book um a 40 50 page
book about fascinating fascinating
material in this book I saw a mention
the manuscript to it years and years ago
in a book
on and they have a picture of the I'm
always wondering when it's going to come
all of a sudden publishes the actual in
the front of a saer called of this so in
there I come across a a page which is
incredible but and it's interesting it
doesn't make
the which is like this he is a tal
of his father was one of
the
of and he says that his father would
always say over and he heard and he
himself would hear from this concept
that I'm saying
that it's
written this becomes a tremendous R this
is what and he has a whole thing how he
writes it
out a whole thing how it's written out
is writes beautifully how he would hear
say this over
from this concept which you which you
think about it's pelic this is a the
world of the the elite of
the of of the this is what they're
saying over to giving over then it goes
even more
fascinating he says like this that is
was looking to point which God does he
hold is doing this that he's Mish he's
giving over everything for the cloud for
the Tiber so you think he's going to
find some so
no says which does he think had this the
most in
his which which this is just to show you
a thing a conversation I've had a few
times about
the that tremendous respect this is a
major for this he says now besides for
his learning which he's not getting into
over here but the point is that he did
everything for for the generation we
know that he became kilu the the um to
make sure that what was happening that
the pr he was a for all the different
anyone knows the history of this is one
of the things that he gave over his time
now of course we know was giving he
answered thousands of truis and he was
he was busy but he managed to make sure
to make it his business keeping in mind
not from not because ofner he he's just
pointing out that this is
a
what now he
says I think he says this in the name
that said what's the difference
between he says it's a famous like
this but he's only mentioned the T once
you know
why because he is locked up in himself
and he's dealing with himself he's
taking care of himself isn't important
yesu is the is how many is in the is
devoted endless and we
know in everything we know so holy and
everything the point is no that gave
over as we know even for the everything
how much he did and this is theu is the
model for
and similarly this
is the elite of the world is giving over
this concept that that's what it's about
so so
now is this is it what obviously this
requires of learning so if you look
already in in
the where he has all in the beginning of
about fascinating material he already to
don't worry you have to
know when it's a
if it's it's something that you that um
others cannot do what mean
say which is obviously also important
thing especially for the Lal world and
not running to to just okay now later on
comes the work
from there's a lot to voted to the of
the the importance of all this so now so
what my claim is and this is what came
clicked from me and it what I'm saying
is this is could be Alf Bas to someone
if they're thinking about it could be
I'm completely wrong that kki this was
his way of doing kki sat and learned the
whole day he's not going around to do in
the standard ways but he felt how could
he do by answering all these people he
says gu is coming to ask him a question
he'll give him an answer and he knows
say he was a weird of who he was that
someone's going to get a letter
from and it will inspire people and you
ask people that that that different
people many different people said oh
when I was a B I wrote a bunch of
letters to and they look back all very
happy about it I was in contact with he
took the time to answer me what better
way to give over this of
[Music]
what we know did this not only with his
writing he gave away a few hours a day
to see people
yes how long did he speak to people but
it made people feel a million dollars he
did it some people say what are you what
are you doing you're not having
conversations with the people they're
just coming you're shaking your head boa
all these different things the answer is
he held this is an Auda and and I'm I'm
showing you is this is an Auda who
nonetheless where's it coming again
there's probably a million others M that
say it but this
is as they said who gave it all to he
would say it all the time
was saying over and this as I said even
this is too okay this is for today this
is just one of the aspects in the the
behind the scenes so to speak what I
think one of the many lessons that will
be able to take out from the TR
of you when you look around is the most
documented person um hero of of that we
have amount of pictures and videos that
exist I think we see he's giving so much
time he's always speaking with people
yes I agree he's not having
conversations with many these people but
for some reason it makes people feel
good he was willing to give away his
time for this and therefore yeah we did
lose out but he held this is the this is
the
mess okay obviously there's some other
which we will and which we will discuss
in the next few episodes thank you yes
very important many gave of their time
in so many different ways which you
could say and think that it took away
from their learning their own growing
their own sharing T
but's case here showing that perhaps I
took away from actually riding farm and
much uh farm that we are likely not
going to see um okay would you like to
share a new book yeah so let just share
one sa very
briefly basically one of the of that had
a tremendous influence on none
other was a was a very interesting type
of yid um one of the oldtime Giants
inim that most people never heard of but
but he had a tremendous impact on
everything everywhere he was going he
was always thinking of different aspects
of the um and he had a big influence on
Ritz somehow also but was very intim so
I always was I always heard about him
and many years ago um a booklet came out
of they collected a bunch of pieces that
they were able to get about he didn't he
didn't write too much okay A little
booklet comes out then slowly two people
they decided to really go all in and
they come out and they make a fat book
hundreds of P 600 700 Pages they collect
everything and they do excellent work
suum of his on everything and we he was
a he was
a is fascinating his interesting
insights in the world of not the typical
stuff but also a lot of zugs that he
would say and and as said he had a
tremendous impact even
on all different things just to mention
one thing because it relates to
something we began today's episode when
the Mish came
to um he he was blown away with it he
couldn't stop learning it he was very
into it and he said
the because he was so interest as I said
he was very he was so interested in the
saer so the the foot noters as I said
was very into this and um so or they
bring down told them that one of the was
very into was the that the Godless of
the M that you see is specifically in
the which goes what the I was bringing
out in the beginning that the Mish is
not just calls himself there's
unbelievable things happening in the
Mish um people have been writing
articles recently being M and called
Mish but even the how he sets up the Su
and what he does is also incredible so
why am I mentioning this now is
basically the safer came out 10 15 years
ago and now they just redid it sadly
adding in a bunch more pages of material
so stuck a person like me is stuck you
have to buy the new edition it's called
because you have to have both you never
know maybe they took out stuff you can't
take the other one off your shelf
because maybe they took out stuff in the
first edition and New Edition has 80 new
pages of more stuff from this what are
you gonna do the life of an addict
anyways yeah that's the
story interesting that you mention him
so for those who
who hung out in the area for their
learning probably you knowah right that
street that goes down um from like St
area down
into um but also the book which is
Incredible Book in English written by
raban cobri at the beginning of the book
he has some um talks a little bit about
it seems like the or is very connected
to him he was like from the founders or
original um
yeah yeah yeah
yeah that as a matter of fact I think
the first time I quote I saw
something was reading
a as a he said over something I think I
think that's how first heard
ofan and then as once you start withit
and then back to that's how it is so I
didn't know that he talks better in the
book okay very interesting yeah no I
don't if he mentions much about him but
that's
where
you okay thank you very much looking
forward to the next one once again
anybody wants to be in touch with myself
