  SPEAKER_00: Let's jump right in.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: Ru'i la adam lizar mikoltum.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's fitting for a person to avoid all kinds of impurity.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: And there's many different types, and a person should try to avoid as much as he can.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: Shatuma, mitamte, masalev, because impurity closes off the heart from connecting to what he's supposed to be connecting to.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: Kimush Amra Businessal, like Khazalov taught us in Yuma al-Pasuk, contaminated.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: Because of our many sins, our heart becomes blocked up, and we get it much it's much harder when we have when we're stuck in Tumah to then connect and do what we're supposed to do.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: This is like the contamination of the land that belonged to the Gentiles.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: At the very least, we should choose the lesser of evils, and avoid whatever impurity we can.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: At the end of the day, we're human beings, and you know, we can't make ourselves like actually go crazy.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: So we have to do the best that we can, which is a theme that we've been discussing time and time again from the Peleod.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: He mentioned this in the section of Tara, Lizar Litar.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: He's he specified some specific areas of Tuman Tara.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to mention a few particular examples of where to be more careful.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: It says in the Sefir Brasilim Shoa, Sal Sif Chasidim, which is the gla section of the Sefer Chasidim Simon Taf Lamidhei.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we're just walking around, we don't even think.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: Like the places that you go actually impact your well-being, not just physically, but spiritually.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: So he says, a Yehudi, a Jew who walks into the courtyard of a guy, Keshe Yotzah, when he leaves Shema, um he's actually saying a specific story.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: There was a Jew who walked into the courtyard of a Gentile, and when he left, Shama Baskal Sha Umra, the yid heard a Baskal, a heavenly voice, saying, Oh, you see, Shlakdach Rechag, you have cast me behind your back.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: Meaning just being in that presence, just being in that place of Tumma did something to him.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Visana Kalyam of this yid heard the calling and he actually fasted the rest of his life.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: Vara Chesla Vram Khasa of the Chesla Vram writes, Anikness Baerko Shayim, a yid who enters into the courts of a guy.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: He's he's under the an envelope of the wings of the Sitra Akra, Mithaminois Sumatmaat, and slowly but surely it it infuses the guy, the person who was there with a level of tumov, loyeda kibanafhahu.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: And he might not even realize it because it's happening on a soul level.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: You're not gonna like grow a horn or something like that, but it's happening and it's imp it's it's it's hurting him deep down, I inshan.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's incumbent upon a yed to awaken, to become aroused to get out of the slump.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: The yatar tries to make us sleep, and we're just meant to get out of this trap.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: Hapyris Rushes, what does the Yatara do?
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: He spreads a trap, Laraglecha, for our phib of litas, without us even realizing me.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: We've to awaken from this.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Vitakish Lakama, Yonim Shna Zukatar, Vaday Bizah, Adkanlishono.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: Bizarra Kodish Barshvayhidzara says, Um Nachri Ayyabzar, you uh Nahri who serves Avizara, he's impure.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: Umandi Yukrav Bahade is of but somebody who comes in contact with him also becomes defiled.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: He ne Kihen Mataiv Lemishu Miyeshri Base Madris.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: And so says the Paliar, it's an amazing thing.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: How fortunate it is for a person to be somebody who sits in the base madrish, Shayucha Lizar, Shahizar, Midliga, Babazara, Kola of Shar, because he's able to avoid contact with idolaters as much as possible.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: This actually explains this will conclude uh today, but we'll conclude for today.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: But this actually explains, we say, had we say in Dayeno, right?
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Even if Claisaw, even if we would Hashem would have just brought us to our Sinai, not have given us a tar would have been in Daino enough.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: What does it mean?
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: Not giving us a tar, just being our senai.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of this idea that just being in the presence of Kedusha has an automatic impact of a person.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: Just like being in the presence of Toma has a negative impact on a person, a person has to strive to be in a base madrish.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't even say to learn there.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, if a person can learn a base madrish, that would be unbelievable.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: But even just to sit there, that should be your chill spot.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: Just to sit in in the walls of base madris, surrounding yourself with spar, surrounding yourself with people that are learning, it's a tremendous thing.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: And that person's avoiding becoming in contact with idolaters, with Toma wishing you all the best, amazing rest of your day, and um it's a shame.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: I look forward to continue learning tomorrow.
