Transcript
- 0:00OK, hulka sedaka raish nun olive Saif tet.
- 0:05All right, so again, part of the whole recipe of hierarchy tet
- 0:11ayula Ferneno Anime Harbor. You have a lot of anime in front
- 0:15of you. That's unfortunately the aim.
- 0:18Bekis lafarnes, olahasot, olifdod ET kulam, if you don't
- 0:23have enough to give money for everyone to clothe everyone and
- 0:28to redeem everyone. Pigeon shui, obviously each
- 0:31category, you know, pigeon shui and we're going to see is the
- 0:34top category, but everyone's on the same level.
- 0:37It's just a number of people. So that's what we're dealing
- 0:40with. So for each category, you have a
- 0:42lot of people to choose from. Whatever the situation comes
- 0:46mugged. So what's the order of who takes
- 0:48precedence? Who do you if everyone's hungry,
- 0:51who do you feed first? If everyone needs clothing, who
- 0:55do you clothe first? And the same Epigeon megadimi
- 1:00and Hakohein the Levi. So Cohen, we know there's a
- 1:03mitzvah of Akidashto Atari gives them a special status.
- 1:07So Cohen verse comes before a Levi.
- 1:11And certainly those who come later on on on the list.
- 1:15Yeah, Levi le Israel and the lady also it also he also has
- 1:20some higher status of the lady's second and he's press takes
- 1:25precedence over a regular USRL. OK, that Yusrael the Khalao and
- 1:31Yusrael takes precedence over a Khalao, right.
- 1:35What are the soleim of for that come out of Kahuna?
- 1:39OK we are halal ishtuki and the halal takes precedence over
- 1:45ishtuki. We don't know who the father is.
- 1:47The ashtuki la Sufi and fatherless comes before and a
- 1:52Sufi you don't know either parents.
- 1:54We have Sufi little moms there, but they also come take
- 1:58precedence before a moms there where you know the parents come
- 2:01from an illicit relationship. We have mamzer le Natin and then
- 2:07mamzer comes before the Natin. That's the category of those who
- 2:11come from the Gibonim. They converted all together
- 2:16thousands of years ago in time of the show up.
- 2:19OK, we have Natin Laguerre and now this is your modern gear.
- 2:23Gear Sedek is totally a righteous convert keeps all the
- 2:28mitzvos but the Nateen the whole process wasn't 100% kosher and
- 2:32honest, but they're also Garrett Sedak at the end of the day and
- 2:36they have their long term lineages status as opposed to
- 2:40the fresh gear the Hagar la Evid Meshukwar and proper Garrett
- 2:46Sedak a regular convert to converts comes Jewish takes upon
- 2:50all the mitzvahs takes precedence over this and Evid
- 2:55Meshukwar. This is also he's 100% like a
- 2:59Jew now he's higher than all the mitzvos, but he became an he was
- 3:04a non Jew. He converted not to become a
- 3:07regular Jew, became converted to become like AI don't know 2/3 of
- 3:12a Jew, a slave, but he's also higher than mitzvot.
- 3:16He's also a Jew. So that's obviously lower and
- 3:20and he has his master to take care of him.
- 3:21But now we're talking about an Evan Monsieur Hoare.
- 3:24So now he's free and when he becomes free, he's the same
- 3:27status of A use of a Israel in most ways.
- 3:33But he but he does he and an avid Kanani avid is under the
- 3:38category of cursed. I were OK, but now he is a Jew.
- 3:43So he's live in all the mitzvahs like a regular Jew.
- 3:46He's not an avid Lahalaka anymore, but that is his
- 3:49background and that does affect his status in some ways, like
- 3:53the here the order of getting sadaqa bahmed, varuma muriam.
- 3:58Now when do we say that you look at Yuklas basically?
- 4:04I mean, it's more some of these things are not certain soleum
- 4:07and whatever, but when do we look at this hierarchy?
- 4:12That's if you're equal, Bahama. Let's keep reading about you, My
- 4:15young mom's bizman. Shame Shaveen Bahama.
- 4:18They learn Torah, they're mitzvos, kule aval EI mamzer,
- 4:24Talmud hakam. But if you have this mamzer, he
- 4:26was born as a mamzer. What can he do?
- 4:28But now he's a Talmud hakam. He made something out of his
- 4:31life and he he learns, he knows, so he takes precedence over
- 4:39coengatal amaharets. Even if you're the coengatal
- 4:43right, the highest Coen in the land, you still if he's an
- 4:48amaharets means he's not so learned.
- 4:50So then you are he comes. So then the the Tamahasham takes
- 4:55precedence, right Moms there tell me Momser tell me the Hakam
- 5:01call them. So if you have a that's the so
- 5:04then the momser tell me Hakam takes precedence because what
- 5:06matters more is what you make of yourself as being a Talmud Hakam
- 5:13and the shock just points out Lav dafka amamish Almaaritz.
- 5:18Even if one they both learn, but the level of how much they learn
- 5:24the quality of they learn the year at shaman when they learn
- 5:27doesn't compare. So then that will take
- 5:29precedence even though they both learn.
- 5:32Yeah, I really love dafka amar'ez Allah sheno shava
- 5:34bechamala Israel haga vafilu hakam le chasot the ALM aarit la
- 5:42kayote. Sorry.
- 5:45So the first thing is the Rama says you have a hakam who needs
- 5:50clothing and a amma arts who's starving.
- 5:54So who takes precedence? Talmud hakam takes precedence
- 5:57for clothing over a amma arts. However, the shock points out
- 6:04that that doesn't apply nowadays.
- 6:06That's like the pure halacha, but Lamaisa, he says you give it
- 6:10to the starving Amma arts because our talmide hakamim
- 6:15nowadays are not the same level of seriousness in Bittelsmann as
- 6:21they used to be. We give to the starving Amar.
- 6:24It's first. If you think he's going to die,
- 6:29then I'm I'm pretty sure even the pure halakha is Hetzalas
- 6:34Nafashos will come before and and we're going to get to that
- 6:37in a moment that for sure. If he's starving and you might
- 6:40die, everyone would agree that come Hetzalas Nafashos already
- 6:44is takes precedence. Let's keep reading.
- 6:47Well, you'll see. Well, when we get there, we're
- 6:49going to get there at the end of the Simon.
- 6:51It'll be finished. Oh, so Asius haverka haver.
- 6:54So a wife of the the rabbitson a wife also has the same status as
- 6:59her husband. She gets that same level, right?
- 7:02Behind every great man is a greater woman, right.
- 7:06OK, Nicole Hagado de Hochma, Kodem Le Haviero and whoever.
- 7:12So whoever's greater in Hochma, they come before their friend.
- 7:16And that's exactly how you define that.
- 7:18We'll leave that open. The IM haya ekhad mahim rabo O
- 7:23Aviv alphabisha ghado Mahama rabo O Aviv kodem lazar Shu gado
- 7:32MI menu, right? The one giving the charity.
- 7:35So who gets first? His father or his rabbi?
- 7:39They get first. Even though the Ptolemy, the
- 7:43Khakham, there is another, is greater.
- 7:46You still give to your Rebbe and your father first.
- 7:49You heard me shabba, the almar Hakiluni guys, someone comes up
- 7:53to you and says please give me some food, I'm starving.
- 7:55Aim bodkin al kharab. You don't start looking for
- 7:59witnesses doing a background check.
- 8:02You give them something to eat of the IMHO ramai.
- 8:06One second. Aim bodkin al kharab IMHO Ramai,
- 8:09if because you might be a crook, a liar, you might really have
- 8:14his coat. You open it up and you shake it
- 8:17and there's gold coins rolling down.
- 8:21We don't check, Ella Machlina told Miyad.
- 8:24We give him food right away because we don't want to take a
- 8:26chance that he maybe he will perish in starvation.
- 8:30Yeah, a room, But if he's missing clothing, Ubavi Almar
- 8:37Kisuni. But if he wants clothing, Boat
- 8:39King Akharavi Muramaya. So generally you're not going to
- 8:42die on the spot if you're a little cold.
- 8:44So therefore we check after him before you give him, maybe a
- 8:48tiny bit you give him. OK, we'll leave that.
- 8:51The Imuramaya, the Imakirinoto Mechasinoto Mia.
- 8:54But if you know that the guy really doesn't have any money
- 8:57and he really is lacking basic, basic necessities, basic
- 9:02clothing, then you give him right away.
- 9:06Or Moshi Askar mentioned that he runs an Sedaka organization and
- 9:12when he raised Rav Mordechai Eliyo, that's all Paskin that if
- 9:17someone says I don't have a heater and it's freezing and I
- 9:20need it, so then you also it's on the same level of food.
- 9:24You don't ask, you don't, well, you don't do a a serious
- 9:28background check to waste time. Obviously there's a little more
- 9:31time involved. Again, all these cases are
- 9:34general principles, but in general, the the stock was you
- 9:40give them food, right? You you give them money so they
- 9:43can buy or you give them the actual unit.
- 9:45Maybe you give them the unit. I don't know what they only gave
- 9:51units, right, because you don't know what people actually do
- 9:53with their money. So whatever.
- 9:54So you give them a unit so that they have a heater.
- 9:57It also depends, you know, on the climate time a year of a
- 9:59cool aid. OK, you'd olive Rebi Shahaya
- 10:02mittstayer Rebi was it felt very bad.
- 10:06Shinata and pito la AMA arts because there was a time when he
- 10:10gave food to an AMA arts Mishum dahavi shani mitsarat.
- 10:15It was years of drought. Omar shahaya oka ama arts.
- 10:20Yes, and whatever he gave to that AMA arts, he realized
- 10:24that's going to be lacking for a Talmud hakam.
- 10:27And they're both starving. I love Hakhi Kayaba Kyoto.
- 10:30Now if you didn't have two people then obviously for sure
- 10:33you have to give the almarats, but here you only had money for
- 10:36food for one aval. I am Balafanenu Medvirov Hayava
- 10:41Kyoto. But if someone comes to you
- 10:42starving and right, they might die due to starvation, so you
- 10:47have to give them right away. Alpha P, she was Suffolk in,
- 10:54even though you know that if you wait, I don't know, a certain
- 10:58amount of time, not much. And a Talmud Hakam might also
- 11:02there's a Suffolk, there might be a Talmud hakam who's going to
- 11:04need from you also Suffolk. So he writes, I don't know if
- 11:10there's a time period, OK, but I guess if you know vadai and you
- 11:16can get to him in time. But if it's a Suffolk Talmud
- 11:20hakam and a Vadai amarit, so then certainly the Amarit comes
- 11:25first. OK, Yeah.
- 11:27I think we tell us Natasha's will come first.
- 11:30Shinei aniim, shahaivim litaine staca.
- 11:33You have two aniim in front of you.
- 11:34You have to give them sedaka, Yahoo.
- 11:37They both have to give sedaka. That's their obligation in life,
- 11:39for everyone has an obligation. So but they're both aniim and
- 11:43they both need sedaka. So what can they do?
- 11:47Yahoo Co ekhon maham litaine staca Shiloh la cabero.
- 11:50Each one can give a portion of money to the other one.
- 11:54Basically, they're trading Sedaka, and since they're both
- 11:57anime and they don't have extra, they they're yose, the mitzvah
- 12:01of siddhaka. Yeah, similar to Mishawaka.
- 12:04No, it's Haga. But there is a caveat to this
- 12:08with a little humorous, but that makes sense.
- 12:10With dafka siddhaka. When can you swap?
- 12:13You can swap siddhaka but not a qanas here.
- 12:17Avaim Khairim Kolahad qanas, it's Takasha Avril, Azid Davar.
- 12:21If that's seabor, I don't know the other people in charge, the
- 12:25Tuvia ear, whatever the the government, they giving them a
- 12:29qanas for a certain reason. And the qanas is give the money
- 12:35to the poor people. But the point is they need to
- 12:38lose money to learn from their mistake, to learn from their
- 12:42misbehavior. They're supposed to get a
- 12:44punishment, so in this category, even though they let them give
- 12:47it to Sedaka as opposed to giving it to the authorities or
- 12:50whatever, then they can't just swap the canas to each other
- 12:59even though they're both poor. The Incan Incan canas, because
- 13:02otherwise there's no canas at all, made a whole joke out of
- 13:04the whole canas. OK, next case Seaborg
- 13:10Shitsrikhim Liskor Rav ushaliak Seaborg.
- 13:14Now the bait Knesset that seaborg they need to hire a Rav
- 13:18to you know, teach them halakha, the opposek I don't know,
- 13:22encourage them whatever it is. And they also want a shaliak
- 13:26Seaborg to be mostly them in Fila.
- 13:29So the, the Arkashoka and some of the post can point out that
- 13:36this halacha doesn't so much apply nowadays because our
- 13:39Shalia Tsibur, the Shalia Tsiwa that they're talking over here
- 13:43where it's so important is Shalia tsiwa.
- 13:46It's emotes to you and it's Fila.
- 13:47You're just going to listen and now you're not going to say
- 13:51anything and he's going to do Berkhas Kriyachma for you.
- 13:53He's going to do the Schmanesre for you and you're just going to
- 13:56answer Amayne and and, and Beyoncé.
- 13:58So then it's really important. He has to do a good job.
- 14:02He has to help you with kavana, has to be clear, loud.
- 14:06OK, but nowadays it's not the same.
- 14:10Again, every case has to be analyzed.
- 14:13Lagufo how important the Rav is, how important the Shaliaf
- 14:16seaboard is. What kind of Rav Shaliaf
- 14:18seaboard still is important. It's still more orio that
- 14:21seaboard of the hue, the aim C pic Briada, Amitani Schnee.
- 14:24We can't afford both EM Hu RA. So this is the general rule, at
- 14:28least in those days EM Hu raav muvak ubaki behara OT ubuddini.
- 14:33If he's like a posek, this guy, this Rav is a real rabbi.
- 14:36He doesn't know it's not just about giving drushas and making
- 14:39you feel good. He helps you in Allah, he
- 14:41teaches you, he tells you what to do he OK so then who called
- 14:46him So if you have a real Rav over here.
- 14:49So then he comes first. He loves Shuliazibar called him,
- 14:53but if he's but otherwise so then they should let's see where
- 14:58it comes first. Again, every case has to be
- 15:00analyzed. OK, Agha the a in the farness
- 15:05Arav Shabbir Mikishel Sedaka. Now when you're paying or it
- 15:09comes time to pay in the the Rav, so everyone has to chip in
- 15:13and obviously it's the more wealthy generally give more, but
- 15:16you don't just take it out of the funds from Sedaka.
- 15:20It's a little bit of a Ganai that's not proper Cavot.
- 15:23It's a Ganai Hulu, the gum with banana ear and for the banana
- 15:27ear that they're taking it from the Sedaka, like that's how you
- 15:29pay them. Now we have this body.
- 15:31That's not how you pay, you know, support parents.
- 15:35You, you pay from your own money.
- 15:37It's a it's an honor. Ella Yasu Sipuk and Malcolm
- 15:41Archer. They should raise money from a
- 15:42different fund and that'd be more mehrubad ABBA.
- 15:47I'm sorry, ABBA. You call it Shlovakov.
- 15:50Me and Staka Sholo Shazar Derrick covered.
- 15:53Now you can get from your own my Sir, your own sedaka.
- 15:57It's but it's coming from you. It's not coming from like a
- 16:00koopa shell Sedaka. It's just it's the part of
- 16:03that's meant for the anime. It's not that's not they're
- 16:06covered. So that's that's a question how
- 16:10you define what the phob is here.
- 16:12Let's read you a dollar. It's a good question.
- 16:14Yekholim le channot afilu metal matar la tsara shoshim chitim le
- 16:20hegeman bakhoshana the Fischer who had Salat nifashot.
- 16:24So that's just a large amount of money that was common years ago
- 16:29that in order to the ruler in town would demand a certain a
- 16:34large sum of money from the community and they had to pay.
- 16:37Otherwise he would come to town and he would be very scary and
- 16:42he would. We'll keep reading, we'll see
- 16:44inside. But you're allowed to take funds
- 16:47that are Sedaka funds designated for Talmatara.
- 16:51That's right, one of the higher of the levels of Sedaka and
- 16:55you're allowed to take it in order to pay off this wicked
- 16:59Goya ruler the fee because it's of Salus Nafashius.
- 17:04Salus Nafashius is on the very top.
- 17:07Shira in Pico Akhenafish is on the very top.
- 17:10She loyit Pashuru emo yeish Kama anim Shenlahim Litaine because
- 17:17if you don't give them so then he's going to come to town.
- 17:20And and if you're not paying from the the Sedaka fund, even
- 17:24if it's from Tal Natara, then he's he's he's going to try and
- 17:28collect from everybody. But there's going to be some
- 17:30people who can't afford to pay their the portion that he is
- 17:33demanding from everyone. And what's this ruler going to
- 17:36do via Kum Vyashitum Arumim? And he will beat them and steal
- 17:42whatever they have and leave them naked.
- 17:46And this is this is Hatzales Nefacios exactly what it is.
- 17:51It's a bit of a question. It's mamish pikot nefesh of the
- 17:55body, but it even it's doesn't have to be that.
- 17:58It could even be maybe a spiritual what it can do to the
- 18:02person or just getting beaten can also be included in Hatzales
- 18:08Nefacios. It's it could lead to death.
- 18:11I'm not sure if it's a certainly it's a Suffolk pikot nefesh
- 18:14Mamish, but OK, Leo has a question.
- 18:18How far does it go? How far can you extend, extend
- 18:23the Telus Nefesha? But it's certainly it's not only
- 18:28a clear it's not. It doesn't have to quite be
- 18:31mamish Picoch nefesh on the spot, but OK, How close is the
- 18:36question now it's just a large sum of money.
- 18:43Yeah, whatever the amount is, Itaz points out he gets it.
- 18:49He also raises the question. I mean, I don't think we don't
- 18:51need the Rochelle, but he quotes it from the Rochelle.
- 18:54The question is the end of the first Parikin megillah.
- 18:57It says Godola talmutara Yuter mihad Salat Nefa shots a famous
- 19:02rasha we learned by Mordechai Ratze la Rovajavati because we
- 19:07got involved in people call politics.
- 19:11But it was Mama, said Salas Nafa.
- 19:12He was saving lives. They even call you so.
- 19:16And so the Gemara points out over there that the taas
- 19:21explains, and this is not just the taas, it's codified in the
- 19:25halaqa. You see what comes first,
- 19:27Atsalas Nafashos takes precedence over Talmutara.
- 19:31We see at the Fed was here. We see that in the Grau, we see
- 19:34that in Naraka Sholkhan, the Qasem sofa.
- 19:37And I think almost all will clearly agree that whenever you
- 19:42have a choice of Talmatara and Italis Nafashos or Piku
- 19:46Akhenafish, it is no question for sure.
- 19:49You close your book or you don't even close it.
- 19:51You run and do what? Tell us Nafashos, you do Piku
- 19:54Akhenafish, That is certainly Doka Talmatara.
- 19:57That's not that's not there's no question, no Suffolk on that.
- 20:02It's a it's a vada. It's clear the Gomar is just
- 20:06telling you. That it's a greater Schus that a
- 20:09Kurdish barku should let you sit and learn in Holi Tara as
- 20:17opposed to being involved in more physical, mundane, I don't
- 20:22know, mundane, maybe not the right word.
- 20:25More physical actions even. It's all as nofashos.
- 20:28It's better that you're. So it's a it's a better Schus to
- 20:31be involved in learning then Hatzalis nofacios.
- 20:36But if you're needed for Hatzalis Nofacios and otherwise
- 20:40somebody else might is at risk. So then certainly Hatzalis
- 20:46Nofacios come first and the girl also points out that one second
- 20:53we finish. Yeah.
- 20:55So he just points out. We also see in the in in Tanakh
- 20:58that you give from Koche Bates. You could also give from Koche
- 21:04better kabait to kings. They used to give better kabait
- 21:11to kings, non Jewish kings in order to for to save themselves
- 21:17and and certainly from Sedaka.
