Transcript
- 0:00Good morning. We are on raiche rahmed bed to
- 0:02hosta Nadarim Say eve Dalit Nidre Hawaii.
- 0:07What about nidre Hawaii? What are nidre Hawaii?
- 0:10Basically, it's an exaggerated another.
- 0:13You made a nether with a big exaggeration that you did not
- 0:18intend to. We're going to see.
- 0:22OK, let's go on. Let's see you inside.
- 0:23For example, Kaitzad kagunsha Amar konam Ki karza alai imlot
- 0:30raiti Kyotse meets trine person makes the nether and he's trying
- 0:34to tell you there were so many people there.
- 0:37Wow, what a funeral, what a concert, like whatever you want
- 0:41to make up what there was crazy amount of people and and say and
- 0:46yeah, you don't believe me, I'm going to make a nether.
- 0:49Let's say this piece of bread that can't eat it if there
- 0:53weren't the same amount of people as Yodse meets Trine, the
- 0:57Jews that left Egypt. So we know there was let's say
- 1:00600,000 men, maybe 3 million people, who knows Whatever the
- 1:04number was, there was a a huge amount of people and he we all
- 1:11know there was No 3 million people there.
- 1:14Maybe I don't know if if it's 10,000 people, 20,000 people,
- 1:19100,000, whatever, whatever's a lot of people for what we're
- 1:22talking about, but he didn't intend to mean 3 million people,
- 1:27but that's literally what he said.
- 1:29So then we're going to see it's not called, it's called Nidre
- 1:33Hawaii. It's not a dender at all because
- 1:36Libo Piv have to be Chauvin again, his whatever he intends
- 1:42is what matters. If we all know that this is a
- 1:45crazy exaggeration and he didn't mean it as a nether literally,
- 1:49then we all know that and therefore it is not it's not
- 1:53tall even when he doesn't specify all right, we're going
- 1:57to see there's a Helix. Sometimes you have to specify
- 2:00and sometimes not. It depends how obvious it is to
- 2:03everybody and not obvious. All right, huga.
- 2:07Oh, another example, EM Laura ET nahash ke kharad betabad or the
- 2:15snake that I saw. Wow, that was so thick that it
- 2:20was like a so one shot means it's referring to the width of
- 2:25an olive press, right? It's got the big thick beams of
- 2:29wood. You leave it to press down on
- 2:31the olives. So he just means that the snake
- 2:34was so thick. It was as thick of an as thick
- 2:37as an olive press. Now it doesn't have to be that
- 2:39thick. It just has to be, you know,
- 2:41quite thick. And he wasn't Makayam literally
- 2:44the words of the thickness of an olive press.
- 2:47But that's fine because we all know it was an exaggeration.
- 2:51Another shot in the gamar over there and then we've shown him
- 2:54is it's just referring to something that's spotted because
- 2:57the olive press is is a big piece of wood that has lots of
- 3:03what's the right word, notches or like cracks, big cracks in
- 3:09them. So you have like it looks when
- 3:11you look from a little bit of a distance, you see big giants,
- 3:14long spots because it's not one smooth piece of olive wood,
- 3:18right? They're not using the highest
- 3:20quality finished pressed wood. So therefore it looks.
- 3:24So in other words, you're talking about something that's
- 3:26very, very big, has big spots. OK, whatever the case is, he
- 3:31doesn't make him his exaggeration because he never
- 3:33meant to. It wasn't exaggeration, but it's
- 3:36not Khal Oh homa Gavo a la Shumaine or wow, that tall is so
- 3:43tall. That's that wall is so tall it
- 3:47reaches the heavens or the sun or whatever the expression is.
- 3:51It's that tall. So then obviously that's not it
- 3:55doesn't literally mean that. And it just means as long as
- 3:57it's tall, then he doesn't. He's not ushering the bread on
- 4:01to himself. Doesn't have to look at Eno
- 4:03Neder. She came there of Holaam
- 4:05lahafleg lakivi shem Neder again.
- 4:08It's definitely not a nether. It's not binding.
- 4:11That's the way people exaggerate and it's normal.
- 4:14And he does. He had no intention to make such
- 4:18a nether. OK, let's go on to Hey Omar
- 4:26person brackets. I skipped something.
- 4:30Oh yeah, I skipped Hugga. Sorry.
- 4:33The Imami Dvara of Amar Shakive Mache.
- 4:36Nether have a nether. OK, so it's an important caveat.
- 4:40If the guy tells you I'm being I'm, he tells you I'm being
- 4:45literal. I'm not making an exaggeration.
- 4:47I'm being literal and I'm accepting upon myself a nether.
- 4:51If it's not the exact same number of you would say meets
- 4:56trying, it's not exactly as thick as a typical olive press,
- 5:02or it doesn't really read the Shamim, I don't know.
- 5:04Maybe the clouds is high enough. Whatever it is nowadays we do
- 5:08have skyscrapers that reach the clouds.
- 5:11So then that would be if he tells you that I'm being
- 5:15literal. And of course if he then that
- 5:17that is a real neither 100%. OK.
- 5:22I believe the macabre would agree.
- 5:25The group mentions it's from the Ushalmi.
- 5:28The rush brings it. I don't I'm not aware of a
- 5:30Macaucus. He does bring a little bit of a
- 5:33question I guess if it's Shavuas of Hawaii or Zeruzin, I'm not
- 5:38sure. Hey Amar konam ko pero chabaolam
- 5:43alai person says the words all. I'm going to use the translation
- 5:50fruits, but that's not necessarily the correct
- 5:53translation. In fact, I think it's definitely
- 5:57a wrong translation. We normally produce produce.
- 6:03I don't think there's going to be a correct translation, but go
- 6:06for it. Because in English, when you use
- 6:09produce and fruits, you have it means something, but it doesn't
- 6:15mean the same thing. And that's necessarily means in
- 6:18Hebrew, or at least in ancient Hebrew.
- 6:21So let's read inside and you'll see why it's not necessarily so
- 6:24quick. Amara, A person makes a nether.
- 6:27He says if whatever something doesn't happen, I'm going to
- 6:34make or he just says it. I'm making another on coal Pirot
- 6:38shabbaolam alai, and that's it. All the all the produce.
- 6:43We'll use that word for now, all the pirot, all the produce.
- 6:47So it's not called at all again here.
- 6:51We're talking more here. Let me read it and I'll say cave
- 6:54on Shiev Shalu likio below coal have pirot have a lay neder
- 6:59shaf. Since you cannot live by without
- 7:03being able to eat coal Pirot all produce in the world, then it's
- 7:09not possible to live like that. I'm not sure what there is left
- 7:14and so therefore it's a not call.
- 7:15I'll explain in a moment. This is called a Nader Shav na
- 7:18Shav is it's a vain chander has vain Nader.
- 7:23It's it's means nothing. It's maybe a meaningless as a
- 7:27good translation. It's AI believe a subcategory of
- 7:31Hawaii. I mean, it all depends how you
- 7:33want to categorize. You can make it a separate
- 7:35category, but let's assume it's a subcategory of Hawaii.
- 7:40OK, right. OK, so why is now what are we
- 7:45referring to when a person says Colpay wrote now if now this you
- 7:51see basically from the wrong it's brought down in the the
- 7:54Shah bear hete of Taz. OK, that when you use the words
- 8:00coal payroll, it's not tall because that includes
- 8:05everything. It includes fish, it includes
- 8:08animals, so that's meat. It would include eggs.
- 8:11It includes anything that grows fruit of the room.
- 8:16OK, a womb. There you go.
- 8:18It includes cotton, it includes wool.
- 8:22It includes plants, trees, anything.
- 8:27So there's basically nothing left.
- 8:29So therefore, if you say such an expression, it's an exaggerated
- 8:34expression, so it becomes meaningless.
- 8:39Anything that grows from the ground or on the ground.
- 8:43OK, so that's included in Co payroll.
- 8:47However, if you only say the word payroll but not Co payroll,
- 8:53so then that Perot includes fruits and vegetables.
- 8:58It does not include meat. It doesn't include grain, maybe
- 9:04cotton, probably it grows from the ground, but it's whatever.
- 9:10It certainly does not include not sure if it includes wood
- 9:13maybe, but it certainly doesn't include animals.
- 9:16So you have a lot, there's there's fish, there's animals,
- 9:20there's chicken, there's milk, there's eggs, there's still
- 9:24quite a bit to eat. OK, so that would be a nether.
- 9:29OK, now let's let's distinction is there, let's keep going.
- 9:33Vehen imam koonam ko pirochebaolam alai IMO aciti da
- 9:38verploni Eno neder, right? So that's what I was kind of
- 9:41saying before. If you make it on a tenai for
- 9:43something to happen and then it's Khal again, it's still not
- 9:47Khal because you can't live like that.
- 9:50That's ain't no nether. It's impossible to eat nothing
- 9:53and so and live haga aval IMA marboloshan atil so So what we
- 10:05said was Loa City was on the past tense.
- 10:09In other words, if I didn't do this but but he did it right.
- 10:14You got to believe me. So then it's not an there was it
- 10:17can't be called OK even if you violated it or whatever it
- 10:20doesn't Mukai in it. However, if you're talking about
- 10:23the future, you're saying if I'm going to do this, whatever he's
- 10:28trying to motivate himself or someone else or whatever it is,
- 10:31or he says if I'm going to do something, then the nether is
- 10:36going to be Khal. So again, I believe we hold it.
- 10:38The halacha is it's not Khal. But let's keep reading about
- 10:42imamar, right? Right.
- 10:48He says he's not going to breathe.
- 10:49So then that's also OK Very good.
- 10:51I don't think there's a mahogan on that one.
- 10:53But on here you say if I'm not, if I'm going to end up doing
- 10:56something. So then Dover ploonies.
- 10:58You call pyrote ally and then he says all the fruits in the
- 11:02world, which is all food basically yesh omrim the aser.
- 11:07Some say it's aser because you have in your control not to do
- 11:13that thing just don't do it. So therefore it can be called
- 11:18that is the first opinion Veheim IM asar Allah of Co payrolled
- 11:23hoots Mihitin yeshomim the have another so too, if a person says
- 11:29except for wheat is is I'm not going to eat anything in the
- 11:35world except for wheat. So that's so according to this
- 11:38opinion, that's called a nadir because at least you can eat
- 11:41wheat, but yeish culking and some argue that no, we learned
- 11:47before at least you have to have meat able to eat or at least
- 11:52other Dagan other other produce, other grains, but just weed
- 12:00itself. It seems that that's not the
- 12:02accepted holaqa and that seems clearly that the age Hogan is
- 12:07going certainly on the last part of the Rama, perhaps the first
- 12:11part, not 100% sure. And it seems clear from the
- 12:16generally from the Shulkhanarak Shah, the araka Shulkhan.
- 12:20They do not paskhan Hootsu Mahiti and they don't paskhan
- 12:24with that one for sure. Not 100% sure about the first
- 12:28one. The first to Roma.
- 12:34If you leave only wheat, that's not enough.
- 12:37If you if you say hootsmi basar, then that's OK.
- 12:41That's hollow. Yeah, because it's enough.
- 12:43You have chicken one day you have fish, one day you have
- 12:45meat, one day it's enough. Probably.
- 12:50Well, if you say not I Co payroll hootsmi basar.
- 12:54So then you can't have any produce, but you could eat meat.
- 13:00There's no definition of bread is also meat.
- 13:04I don't think so, but I don't think vasar includes it.
- 13:07Something meat might be called OK Vaughn Nidre Chicago's OK
- 13:21Nidre Chicago's Kate said A person says nidre, these are
- 13:29basically I'm mistaken. Another right, Kaitzod
- 13:34almarconum Alaiki Karzai Imahalti Vishatiti person says
- 13:40if I ate or drink today, whatever, whatever tonight,
- 13:44whatever, whatever words he uses, whatever his vow is, and
- 13:48then and then this piece of bread is going to be ushered to
- 13:52me as a nether, right? He wants to, you know, make you
- 13:55believe, believe him that he didn't eat or drink anything.
- 13:58And he was serious. But then Venice karchal veshata,
- 14:02and then he realized, Oh my gosh, I did eat and drink.
- 14:05He really thought he didn't eat and drink and therefore he made
- 14:09the nether. He totally forgot that he
- 14:11actually ate and drink. He can't believe it happens once
- 14:13in a while. You're the best of us.
- 14:15So we just totally blank on what we did.
- 14:19Oh, Ochel the ESHTA. OK, so we're going to see if you
- 14:25thought that you didn't eat and therefore you made this Ned
- 14:29there and then you found out you did.
- 14:30It's not called the Ned there. It's 100.
- 14:32There's no Ned there whatsoever because it's a Ned there of
- 14:35shigaga. You totally made it on false
- 14:40understanding or Now this is interesting.
- 14:44O Ochel the Eshta he makes, he says if I'm going to this is for
- 14:48the future, if I'm going to eat and drink and he was serious at
- 14:53the time. If let's say I don't know, in
- 14:561/2 an hour, in an hour, in an hour, you know, if I eat and
- 14:58drink. So I'm going to make this piece
- 15:00of bread usser to me. And he really had in mind keep
- 15:05his word, he's not going to not eat and drink because he had no
- 15:08intention of making a nether on this piece of bread.
- 15:13And then Vishakha. And then sure enough, an hour
- 15:18from now, a friend tells him here, want to taste this.
- 15:22And he says, sure, you know, he's a question.
- 15:24You remember to say the bracha, but he just totally forgot about
- 15:28his. Oh my gosh, there is nether
- 15:31whatever it is, K1 chuhu shogi bishat potsatata neder MI peev.
- 15:37Oh, Bisha ashiyesh Lala who? So it's not going to be a nether
- 15:43if you have a, if you're a show gate at either time or when you
- 15:46say the words or when the nether is called.
- 15:50As we said, it could be for the future.
- 15:51In an hour from now, I'm not going to eat, trust me.
- 15:54But if I do eat, I'm taking a nether and and then so the
- 15:57nether is not called until the hour comes.
- 15:59And then he mistakenly eats. But when he eats, he forgot
- 16:03about his Chevy. He didn't want to violate his
- 16:06Chevy or his neder or make something call and make a neder
- 16:09on him. So either time period now or in
- 16:13the future, you're a show gig. But it has to be when it's when
- 16:17you say the words. That could be a loophole that
- 16:20could save you or you could be a show gig when it's hot.
- 16:24Either one. But Emiya Yodiya Shukain Loya
- 16:28noder and if you would have known at the time when he was
- 16:32speaking, when he was saying the net there or at the time when it
- 16:36became Khal and he did the action that made it happen, if
- 16:40he would have known Loya no there.
- 16:43So then you know no there. It's not another because there
- 16:45was a complete mistake. He has no intention of making a
- 16:47net there at all. And it's, and it's obvious to
- 16:50all of us, the hima mark konam ishti netli shaganvakisio shikta
- 16:57beni. Now, I'm not giving any marriage
- 17:00advice. Perhaps this is not the best
- 17:02thing to do in general. But he says, aha, because my
- 17:08what I'm making a neder on my wife that she cannot get any
- 17:12benefit from me. She can't get anything from me.
- 17:17And right. And it's maybe a violation of
- 17:20the marriage, The the the suba, whatever should even even a
- 17:24mitzvah. And Natara, he's saying she
- 17:26can't get any benefit from me because Shaganva Kisi, she stole
- 17:31from my pocket. She took my money.
- 17:32She went above her allowance or shahikda Bini or she hit my son
- 17:38Venemsa. And then it turns out again,
- 17:41we're not giving marriage advice over here.
- 17:42This is probably a bad idea on maybe more than one level.
- 17:46But anyways, it turns out what's the facts?
- 17:50Shaloh ganwala shalohikda. It's the whole thing was a
- 17:53mistake. She never stole or took money
- 17:56that she wasn't supposed to right?
- 17:59Or she didn't hit her son. And so therefore the whole, his
- 18:05whole neder was on it was built on a mistake, a total
- 18:09misunderstanding, Amar Konam Shanino said.
- 18:13Plonichi Ora Neder or a separate case, another case.
- 18:19He a man says I'm making a nether basically that I'm not
- 18:23going to marry this this this young lady because she's ugly.
- 18:30And it turns out he he saw the wrong picture, let's say, or he
- 18:34saw her, I don't know, from a bad angle.
- 18:37And she was beautiful at the time when he said the words.
- 18:40So nothing changed. He thought at the time she was
- 18:43ugly, but she was really pretty and if she he would have known,
- 18:52he would have known that she was pretty at the time.
- 18:54Well, you know that for sure you wouldn't have made such a
- 18:56nether. So then again, it's not going to
- 18:58be called it's a nether of a Chicago of all.
- 19:01But I maita que Ora via fuve via fua call haneda if at the time
- 19:08when he said it, she really was very unattractive and then
- 19:13right. How do you decide?
- 19:14OK, we're not getting into that. But then at the end the you
- 19:19know, she decided, you know, she found out about this and she
- 19:22decided to improve her looks. Maybe she I don't know whether
- 19:25it's make up surgery. I don't know what she does.
- 19:28She did something probably make up is enough, but whatever it
- 19:31is, she does something. So now she's beautiful in his
- 19:35eyes or others eyes. OK, that's a whole other
- 19:37question. So then it is called another
- 19:42because what he said he meant and it was true and there is no
- 19:46show gig at the time she changed afterwards.
- 19:49So that is still called. OK, let's see how old Mer E my
- 19:57aplon ETSO Zaha davar person says I I want you know, trying
- 20:02to tell you, I know that this person wasn't here at this, you
- 20:05know, at this at the time, at this such and such a place at
- 20:07time. I know he was somewhere else.
- 20:10Ah, you don't believe me? Trust me, it's an El Zuzizdaka.
- 20:15I'm gonna give 1000 whatever shekel dollars to Siddaka.
- 20:20If he was actually at the place the Hayasham and it turns out he
- 20:26goofed. He he was there.
- 20:28He, he got the facts wrong. It was his his twin.
- 20:32He just slipped his mind. Whatever it is, he was there.
- 20:35Lo and behold hatour, he's still putter Tahavi Neder bishogi
- 20:41'cause it was a it was a neder bishogi, right?
- 20:44He forgot about it and he was being honest or whatever, but
- 20:48his whole neder was based on his mistaken assumption or
- 20:53perception or memory, whatever it is.
- 20:56So then it's called a neder bishogi and it's completely not
- 21:00khal. He doesn't have to give 1000
- 21:02shekhal, even if it's Fritzidaka.
- 21:04The Taz has an interesting case, very interesting.
- 21:07It goes two people are arguing about something.
- 21:16So whatever it is arguing about the matsias, one says yes, one
- 21:19says no, OK. And whatever it is.
- 21:21And now they decide, oh, yeah, I tell you what, they're going to
- 21:24make a handshake. It's Kyat Kaf as a tsug Sol
- 21:28shuwa. And they say to each other, OK,
- 21:31if I'm right, you're going to pay me $1000.
- 21:34And if I'm wrong, then I'm going to give you $1000, whatever.
- 21:37So they're, they're going to be real, a real bet over here.
- 21:40And they shake on it and they're serious.
- 21:42So then the, the, the Taj says and it turns out, oh, obviously
- 21:48one person's right, one person's wrong.
- 21:50And they find out who it is. They're putter because none of
- 21:54neither one of them had in mind to actually pay the money.
- 21:58Each one was so convinced he was right.
- 22:01There's no way that he's going to have to pay the money.
- 22:04So then he doesn't have to pay because right.
- 22:08And we know that the guy was serious, that he knew he was
- 22:11right. Now, if he knew that he really
- 22:14is, if he really meant to pay, even if he's if he's wrong, then
- 22:23he probably has to pay, but he has to specify that to you some.
- 22:27We assume he was so sure of himself and it's a nether Bishau
- 22:31gig and therefore it's not a real nether.
- 22:33It's just just that was interesting.
- 22:37And he gets that from another interesting case from the Gomara
- 22:41Chervus where there's two tall medium of Rob and they're
- 22:45arguing about Rob said one of they're both in the same sheer
- 22:48at the same time and they can vote and that happens to have
- 22:51some all the time, a lot. What did the rabbi say?
- 22:55I was there. I was there and you're arguing
- 22:58about what the rabbi said. So they both come to Rav and
- 23:01like they're basically, they both said they're going to be
- 23:04high of a korban if they have to pay.
- 23:06I mean, if whoever is wrong is going to have to bring a korban.
- 23:10And so they go to Rav and say, OK, Rav, let's hear who's high
- 23:14of the korban. So Rav tells you neither one of
- 23:16you are going to be high of the korban because he says they were
- 23:21libka Anaska, your heart made you onus interesting.
- 23:26And the next category we're going to get to is Nidre Onsen.
- 23:31It's a little bit of a different we're still in other words, onus
- 23:34can mean onus. It was coerced against your
- 23:37will. Onus can also mean your heart,
- 23:40you know, swayed you a little bit and you began.
