  Aleph,

  61
• 0:08
  days.
• 0:09
  And
• 0:10
  we
• 0:10
  are.
• 0:13
  We're
• 0:14
  at.
• 0:18
  So
• 0:18
  here.
• 0:20
  Let's
• 0:21
  go
• 0:21
  back
• 0:21
  to
• 0:21
  the
• 0:21
  beginning
• 0:22
  of
• 0:22
  bays.
• 0:22
  Okay?
• 0:25
  Okay,
• 0:26
  Rebbe,
• 0:26
  elsewhere
• 0:27
  we
• 0:27
  say
• 0:28
  is
• 0:28
  the
• 0:28
  mnemonic
• 0:29
  for
• 0:29
  reish
• 0:30
  penei
• 0:30
  yisrael
• 0:31
  Rebbe.
• 0:32
  There
• 0:32
  are
• 0:33
  those,
• 0:33
  there
• 0:33
  are
• 0:33
  manhicim
• 0:34
  that
• 0:34
  are
• 0:34
  called
• 0:34
  rebbe,
• 0:35
  shelimudam
• 0:36
  melo
• 0:36
  hamaisaras.
• 0:38
  Okay.
• 0:40
  Their
• 0:40
  learning
• 0:41
  is
• 0:41
  from
• 0:41
  maisaras.
• 0:42
  Maisaras
• 0:43
  here
• 0:43
  is
• 0:43
  referring
• 0:44
  to
• 0:44
  excrement,
• 0:45
  meaning
• 0:45
  the
• 0:45
  point
• 0:46
  is
• 0:46
  that
• 0:46
  it's
• 0:46
  extra.
• 0:47
  It's
• 0:48
  not
• 0:48
  relevant.
• 0:49
  It's
• 0:49
  waste
• 0:54
  not.
• 0:55
  It's
• 0:55
  not
• 0:55
  that
• 0:56
  they
• 0:57
  may
• 0:57
  give
• 0:57
  mutar.
• 0:58
  Okay,
• 0:58
  very
• 0:58
  good.
• 0:59
  Yeah.
• 1:00
  It's
• 1:00
  not
• 1:00
  that
• 1:00
  they.
• 1:01
  They
• 1:01
  can't
• 1:01
  even
• 1:01
  control
• 1:02
  themselves,
• 1:02
  meaning
• 1:03
  they
• 1:03
  don't
• 1:03
  even
• 1:03
  have
• 1:04
  a
• 1:04
  shlita
• 1:04
  over
• 1:05
  themselves.
• 1:08
  And
• 1:09
  for
• 1:09
  sure
• 1:09
  they
• 1:09
  can't
• 1:10
  lead
• 1:11
  others.
• 1:12
  However,
• 1:15
  they
• 1:15
  take
• 1:15
  the
• 1:16
  COVID
• 1:16
  Lahanai

• 1:20
  shalay
• 1:20
  la
• 1:20
  has
• 1:20
  mecha.
• 1:21
  So
• 1:22
  what's
• 1:22
  clear
• 1:22
  is
• 1:22
  it
• 1:22
  has
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  be.
• 1:23
  One
• 1:23
  has
• 1:24
  to
• 1:24
  be
• 1:24
  careful
• 1:24
  not
• 1:24
  to
• 1:25
  give
• 1:25
  them
• 1:25
  smichah
• 1:26
  shloilita,
• 1:28
  not
• 1:29
  to
• 1:29
  give
• 1:29
  them
• 1:29
  any
• 1:29
  kind
• 1:30
  of
• 1:30
  power.
• 1:30
  Now
• 1:31
  here,
• 1:31
  tikef
• 1:32
  and
• 1:32
  O
• 1:33
  seem
• 1:33
  to
• 1:34
  be
• 1:34
  two
• 1:34
  different
• 1:34
  things.
• 1:35
  Takifa
• 1:36
  is
• 1:37
  like
• 1:37
  a
• 1:38
  certain
• 1:38
  sense
• 1:38
  of
• 1:39
  control,
• 1:40
  right?
• 1:43
  And
• 1:44
  aiz
• 1:45
  is
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  power.
• 1:48
  So
• 1:48
  power
• 1:48
  and
• 1:48
  hold

  shloimyum

  chunim

  shem,

  Rebbe.
• 1:51
  They
• 1:51
  shouldn't
• 1:52
  be
• 1:52
  called
• 1:53
  that.
• 1:53
  Meaning
• 1:54
  giving
• 1:54
  them
• 1:54
  semicha
• 1:55
  gives
• 1:55
  them
• 1:56
  a
• 1:56
  title.
• 1:56
  The
• 1:56
  title
• 1:56
  gives
• 1:57
  them
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  authority.
• 1:58
  Don't
• 1:58
  give
• 1:58
  them
• 2:00
  the
• 2:01
  title.
• 2:06
  Because
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  truth
• 2:07
  of
• 2:07
  the
• 2:07
  matter
• 2:07
  is,
• 2:07
  is
• 2:08
  that
• 2:09
  in
• 2:09
  a
• 2:10
  certain
• 2:10
  sense,
• 2:10
  it's
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  Nebuch
• 2:11
  on
• 2:11
  them.
• 2:11
  They're
• 2:12
  not
• 2:12
  so
• 2:12
  chayev,
• 2:13
  which
• 2:13
  means,
• 2:14
  you
• 2:14
  know,
• 2:14
  they're
• 2:15
  in
• 2:15
  a
• 2:15
  certain
• 2:15
  sense,
• 2:16
  he's
• 2:16
  saying
• 2:16
  perhaps
• 2:20
  this
• 2:20
  is
• 2:20
  their
• 2:20
  yetzer
• 2:21
  har.
• 2:21
  Their
• 2:21
  yitzhahar
• 2:22
  is
• 2:22
  the
• 2:22
  yetzerar
• 2:22
  for

  achzar
• 2:26
  lishma
• 2:26
  ma'.
• 2:26
  Ay.
• 2:26
  But
• 2:27
  you
• 2:27
  have
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  be
• 2:27
  careful,
• 2:28
  very
• 2:28
  careful
• 2:31
  not
• 2:31
  to
• 2:32
  give
• 2:32
  them.
• 2:33
  Not
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  give
• 2:33
  them
• 2:33
  this
• 2:34
  strength
• 2:34
  and
• 2:35
  control
• 2:36
  and
• 2:36
  power,
• 2:40
  because
• 2:40
  those
• 2:40
  who
• 2:41
  do,
• 2:46
  and
• 2:46
  they
• 2:46
  get
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  smicha,
• 2:47
  meaning
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  institutions
• 2:48
  or
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  individuals
• 2:50
  that
• 2:50
  give
• 2:50
  themicha.
• 2:51
  Hey,
• 2:52
  masidliten
• 2:52
  did
• 2:53
  becheshmin.
• 2:53
  It's
• 2:54
  on
• 2:54
  them
• 2:54
  that
• 2:55
  they're
• 2:55
  going
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  have
• 2:55
  to
• 2:56
  answer
• 2:57
  for
• 2:58
  the
• 2:59
  conveyance
• 2:59
  of
• 3:00
  that
• 3:00
  authority.
• 3:01
  Okay,
• 3:01
  we
• 3:01
  talked
• 3:02
  about
• 3:02
  last
• 3:02
  week,
• 3:04
  the
• 3:04
  issues
• 3:04
  with,
• 3:05
  you
• 3:05
  know,
• 3:07
  what
• 3:08
  if
• 3:08
  it's
• 3:08
  abused
• 3:08
  or
• 3:08
  misappropriated.
• 3:10
  Misappropriated
• 3:12
  ordination.
• 3:13
  Ultimately,
• 3:15
  those
• 3:15
  who.
• 3:16
  Who
• 3:16
  convey
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  ordination
• 3:18
  are
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  ones
• 3:18
  that
• 3:18
  are.
• 3:19
  That
• 3:19
  are
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  ones
• 3:20
  that
• 3:21
  have.
• 3:21
  Have
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  din
• 3:22
  v'.
• 3:22
  Chben.
• 3:23
  They
• 3:23
  present
• 3:23
  themselves
• 3:24
  as
• 3:24
  authorities,
• 3:26
  right?
• 3:26
  So.
• 3:26
  So
• 3:27
  If
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  yeshiva
• 3:28
  or
• 3:29
  if
• 3:29
  a
• 3:29
  Rosh
• 3:29
  Hashiva
• 3:31
  or
• 3:31
  somebody
• 3:31
  gives
• 3:32
  smicha
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  somebody
• 3:33
  who's
• 3:33
  Aino
• 3:34
  Roy,
• 3:36
  that's
• 3:36
  a
• 3:36
  problem.
• 3:37
  Meaning
• 3:37
  ultimately,
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  yeshiva,
• 3:38
  the
• 3:39
  Rosh
• 3:39
  Yeshiva
• 3:39
  lolinu
• 3:40
  mean
• 3:40
  they're
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  ones
• 3:41
  that
• 3:41
  have
• 3:41
  to
• 3:41
  answer
• 3:42
  for
• 3:42
  that.
• 3:43
  Meaning
• 3:43
  they're
• 3:43
  responsible
• 3:44
  for
• 3:44
  the
• 3:45
  decisions
• 3:45
  and
• 3:46
  effect
• 3:47
  that
• 3:47
  that
• 3:47
  person
• 3:47
  has
• 3:48
  on
• 3:48
  Claud
• 3:48
  Yisrael.
• 3:49
  That's
• 3:49
  what
• 3:49
  he's
• 3:49
  saying.
• 3:50
  That's
• 3:51
  exactly
• 3:51
  what
• 3:51
  he's
• 3:51
  saying.
• 3:52
  So
• 3:52
  last
• 3:52
  week
• 3:52
  we
• 3:53
  talked
• 3:53
  about
• 3:53
  how
• 3:54
  there
• 3:55
  was
• 3:55
  a
• 3:55
  phenomena
• 3:55
  that
• 3:55
  when
• 3:56
  I
• 3:56
  was
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  yeshiva
• 3:57
  in
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  Israel
• 3:58
  in
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  early
• 3:58
  90s,
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  I
• 3:59
  was
• 3:59
  learning
• 3:59
  for
• 3:59
  smicha,
• 4:00
  it
• 4:00
  was
• 4:00
  myself
• 4:00
  and
• 4:00
  David
• 4:01
  Hochberg,
• 4:01
  there
• 4:01
  was
• 4:01
  nobody
• 4:02
  else
• 4:02
  that
• 4:02
  was
• 4:02
  learning
• 4:02
  for
• 4:02
  semicha.
• 4:03
  And
• 4:03
  there
• 4:03
  was
• 4:03
  no
• 4:03
  structured
• 4:04
  program.
• 4:05
  And
• 4:05
  I
• 4:05
  could
• 4:05
  not
• 4:05
  figure
• 4:05
  out
• 4:06
  why
• 4:07
  there
• 4:07
  was
• 4:07
  nobody
• 4:07
  there.
• 4:08
  It
• 4:08
  was
• 4:08
  like
• 4:09
  we
• 4:09
  were
• 4:09
  on
• 4:09
  an
• 4:09
  island
• 4:10
  to
• 4:10
  ask
• 4:10
  Shiloh
• 4:12
  Ravklavsky
• 4:13
  was
• 4:13
  difficult
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  reach
• 4:13
  because
• 4:14
  he
• 4:14
  was
• 4:14
  very
• 4:14
  busy.
• 4:15
  You
• 4:15
  couldn't
• 4:16
  ask
• 4:16
  anyone
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  bei's
• 4:16
  message
• 4:17
  because
• 4:17
  they're
• 4:17
  not
• 4:17
  holding
• 4:17
  in
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  Indian
• 4:18
  who's
• 4:18
  holding
• 4:18
  in
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  middle
• 4:18
  of
• 4:19
  Basa
• 4:19
  Buchal
• 4:19
  over
• 4:19
  Tarubis
• 4:20
  Malik
• 4:20
  or
• 4:20
  Adida.
• 4:21
  It
• 4:22
  could
• 4:22
  bother
• 4:22
  Ritzvi,
• 4:23
  but
• 4:23
  Ritzvi
• 4:24
  is
• 4:24
  busy.
• 4:24
  I'm
• 4:25
  saying
• 4:25
  it
• 4:26
  was
• 4:26
  like
• 4:26
  nobody
• 4:26
  pushed
• 4:27
  nobody
• 4:27
  to
• 4:27
  ask.
• 4:28
  And
• 4:29
  when
• 4:29
  I
• 4:30
  asked,
• 4:30
  what's
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  pshat?
• 4:32
  And
• 4:32
  I
• 4:32
  think
• 4:33
  this
• 4:33
  is
• 4:33
  an
• 4:34
  answer
• 4:34
  in
• 4:34
  part
• 4:35
  was,
• 4:35
  you
• 4:36
  know,
• 4:36
  this
• 4:36
  is
• 4:36
  weeding
• 4:37
  out
• 4:37
  of
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  people
• 4:37
  that
• 4:38
  really.
• 4:38
  That
• 4:38
  we
• 4:38
  want
• 4:38
  to
• 4:39
  give
• 4:39
  smicha
• 4:39
  to.
• 4:39
  Because,
• 4:41
  you
• 4:41
  know,
• 4:41
  in
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  past,
• 4:42
  others
• 4:42
  have
• 4:43
  gotten
• 4:43
  tzvicha
• 4:44
  in
• 4:44
  a
• 4:44
  more
• 4:44
  formalized
• 4:45
  program.
• 4:45
  There
• 4:45
  just
• 4:46
  wasn't
• 4:46
  designed.
• 4:46
  It
• 4:46
  was
• 4:46
  designed
• 4:47
  for
• 4:47
  learning
• 4:47
  gemara,
• 4:48
  not
• 4:48
  giving
• 4:48
  simicha.
• 4:49
  No.
• 4:50
  My
• 4:50
  father,
• 4:51
  in
• 4:51
  1949,
• 4:52
  to
• 4:53
  show
• 4:53
  you
• 4:53
  a
• 4:53
  picture,
• 4:53
  was

  The

  smichah
• 4:57
  of

• 4:58
  We

  they

  That's

  what

  I'm

  that

  you.
• 5:27
  Official

• 5:30
  Official
• 5:31
  curriculum,
• 5:31
  official
• 5:32
  number
• 5:32
  of
• 5:32
  people.
• 5:32
  You're
• 5:32
  in
• 5:32
  the
• 5:33
  first
• 5:33
  year
• 5:33
  of
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  program.
• 5:33
  You're
• 5:33
  in
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  second
• 5:34
  year
• 5:34
  of
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  program.
• 5:35
  It
• 5:35
  is
• 5:35
  a
• 5:35
  program
• 5:36
  that
• 5:36
  was
• 5:36
  designed.
• 5:36
  Right.
• 5:36
  So
• 5:37
  I'm
• 5:37
  answering
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  question
• 5:38
  as
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  why
• 5:39
  it
• 5:39
  was
• 5:39
  different
• 5:40
  in
• 5:40
  Israel.
• 5:41
  And
• 5:41
  I'm
• 5:42
  saying
• 5:42
  in
• 5:42
  part,
• 5:44
  I'm
• 5:44
  not
• 5:44
  here
• 5:44
  to
• 5:44
  vilify,
• 5:45
  but
• 5:45
  I'm
• 5:46
  saying
• 5:46
  in
• 5:46
  part
• 5:47
  Saying
• 5:47
  that
• 5:48
  this
• 5:48
  was
• 5:48
  a
• 5:48
  way
• 5:49
  to
• 5:49
  weed
• 5:50
  out
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  people.
• 5:52
  Weed
• 5:52
  out
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  people
• 5:53
  that
• 5:53
  would
• 5:53
  be
• 5:53
  really
• 5:54
  sincere
• 5:54
  and
• 5:54
  want
• 5:54
  to
• 5:55
  really
• 5:55
  pursue
• 5:55
  it,
• 5:55
  as
• 5:55
  opposed
• 5:56
  to,
• 5:56
  you
• 5:56
  know,
• 5:58
  conveying
• 5:58
  semicha
• 5:59
  on
• 5:59
  somebody
• 5:59
  who's
• 6:00
  ano
• 6:00
  Roy.
• 6:00
  And
• 6:01
  therefore
• 6:01
  this
• 6:01
  problem
• 6:02
  exists.
• 6:03
  So
• 6:03
  what
• 6:03
  you're
• 6:03
  saying
• 6:04
  is
• 6:04
  if
• 6:04
  it's
• 6:04
  treated
• 6:05
  as
• 6:05
  an
• 6:05
  academic
• 6:06
  endeavor,
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  don't
• 6:07
  know
• 6:07
  who
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  person
• 6:08
  really
• 6:08
  is.
• 6:08
  You
• 6:08
  may
• 6:09
  have
• 6:09
  a
• 6:09
  lot
• 6:09
  of
• 6:09
  knowledge,
• 6:10
  but
• 6:10
  you
• 6:10
  don't
• 6:10
  know
• 6:11
  his
• 6:11
  character
• 6:11
  necessarily.
• 6:12
  Is
• 6:12
  that
• 6:13
  what
• 6:13
  you're
• 6:13
  saying?
• 6:14
  No,
• 6:14
  because
• 6:15
  anyone
• 6:15
  that's
• 6:16
  enrolled
• 6:16
  can
• 6:17
  also
• 6:17
  be
• 6:17
  vetted
• 6:18
  properly.
• 6:18
  What
• 6:18
  I'm
• 6:18
  saying
• 6:19
  is
• 6:19
  when
• 6:19
  you
• 6:19
  open
• 6:19
  the
• 6:19
  doors
• 6:20
  for.
• 6:20
  For
• 6:21
  more
• 6:21
  people
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  join,
• 6:23
  it's
• 6:24
  easier
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  you
• 6:24
  can
• 6:25
  have
• 6:25
  problems.
• 6:26
  Meaning
• 6:27
  it's
• 6:27
  easier
• 6:27
  that
• 6:28
  they
• 6:28
  can
• 6:28
  be
• 6:28
  part
• 6:28
  of
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  group.
• 6:29
  I'm
• 6:29
  not
• 6:29
  saying
• 6:30
  everyone
• 6:30
  passes
• 6:30
  through,
• 6:30
  because
• 6:31
  ultimately,
• 6:31
  whoever
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  baychan
• 6:32
  is,
• 6:32
  whoever's
• 6:33
  going
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  sign
• 6:34
  their
• 6:34
  name
• 6:34
  on
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  tzmicha,
• 6:36
  my
• 6:36
  father's
• 6:37
  Michael,
• 6:37
  I
• 6:37
  have
• 6:37
  on
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  wall.
• 6:38
  Rev
• 6:38
  Udeman
• 6:38
  signed
• 6:38
  his
• 6:38
  name
• 6:39
  on
• 6:39
  shmicha,
• 6:39
  meaning
• 6:39
  ultimately
• 6:40
  Revudemann
• 6:40
  was
• 6:41
  responsible
• 6:41
  for
• 6:41
  my
• 6:42
  father
• 6:44
  Rav
• 6:45
  Weinberg,
• 6:45
  who
• 6:45
  wrote
• 6:46
  his
• 6:46
  smicha.
• 6:48
  Yirmi
• 6:48
  Obinuitz
• 6:49
  wrote
• 6:49
  the
• 6:50
  Star
• 6:50
  and
• 6:50
  he
• 6:50
  took
• 6:51
  it
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  Reinberger.
• 6:51
  Weinberg
• 6:52
  told
• 6:52
  him
• 6:52
  what's
• 6:52
  right
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  he
• 6:53
  signed
• 6:53
  it.
• 6:53
  He's
• 6:54
  responsible
• 6:54
  for
• 6:54
  me.
• 6:55
  Meaning
• 6:55
  that's
• 6:55
  what
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  rebbe
• 6:56
  is
• 6:56
  saying.
• 6:56
  Rebbe
• 6:56
  is
• 6:56
  saying
• 6:57
  whoever
• 6:57
  gives
• 6:57
  smicha
• 6:58
  is
• 6:58
  responsible
• 6:59
  for
• 6:59
  that
• 7:00
  person.
• 7:02
  That
• 7:02
  person
• 7:02
  goes
• 7:02
  off.
• 7:09
  Huh?
• 7:12
  That's
• 7:13
  not
• 7:13
  the
• 7:13
  perception
• 7:13
  on
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  front
• 7:14
  end,
• 7:14
  though.
• 7:17
  This
• 7:18
  isn't
• 7:18
  a
• 7:18
  tangent,
• 7:19
  but
• 7:20
  what
• 7:21
  people.
• 7:21
  Can
• 7:21
  get
• 7:22
  disqualified
• 7:22
  if
• 7:22
  they
• 7:23
  disqualified
• 7:24
  themselves.
• 7:26
  When
• 7:26
  I
• 7:27
  was
• 7:27
  learning.
• 7:27
  This
• 7:28
  is
• 7:28
  a
• 7:28
  total
• 7:28
  tangent,
• 7:29
  but
• 7:29
  it's
• 7:29
  an
• 7:30
  interesting
• 7:30
  relevant
• 7:31
  point.
• 7:32
  When
• 7:32
  I
• 7:32
  was
• 7:32
  learning
• 7:33
  for
• 7:33
  smicha,
• 7:35
  I
• 7:35
  also
• 7:36
  went
• 7:36
  to
• 7:37
  my
• 7:38
  wife's
• 7:38
  local
• 7:39
  river
• 7:40
  Avram
• 7:40
  peasants.
• 7:43
  He
• 7:43
  was
• 7:43
  a
• 7:45
  by
• 7:45
  right,
• 7:45
  like
• 7:46
  he
• 7:46
  was
• 7:46
  a
• 7:46
  Rosh
• 7:46
  Hashiva.
• 7:47
  He
• 7:47
  was
• 7:47
  a
• 7:47
  Talmud
• 7:47
  of.
• 7:48
  He
• 7:49
  was
• 7:49
  of
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  three
• 7:49
  dayanam
• 7:50
  that
• 7:50
  sat
• 7:50
  on
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  Bezdan
• 7:51
  Litvasha.
• 7:51
  Bezdan
• 7:52
  in
• 7:52
  Muncie
• 7:53
  you
• 7:53
  had
• 7:54
  Rav
• 7:55
  Maisha
• 7:55
  Tendler,
• 7:55
  Rav
• 7:56
  Berel
• 7:56
  wine
• 7:56
  and
• 7:56
  Rav
• 7:57
  Ram
• 7:57
  passing.
• 7:58
  So
• 7:58
  I
• 7:58
  would
• 7:58
  go
• 7:59
  to
• 7:59
  him
• 7:59
  for
• 7:59
  Shemlish.
• 8:00
  I
• 8:00
  once
• 8:01
  did
• 8:01
  a
• 8:01
  wedding
• 8:02
  and
• 8:03
  the
• 8:03
  wedding
• 8:05
  was
• 8:05
  like
• 8:05
  one
• 8:06
  of
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  first
• 8:06
  weddings
• 8:06
  that
• 8:06
  I
• 8:07
  did
• 8:07
  like
• 8:07
  20
• 8:08
  some
• 8:08
  odd
• 8:08
  years
• 8:08
  ago.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  wife
• 8:12
  ended
• 8:13
  up.
• 8:13
  The
• 8:13
  wedding
• 8:14
  dissolved
• 8:14
  within
• 8:14
  a
• 8:15
  year.
• 8:15
  I
• 8:16
  mean,
• 8:16
  the
• 8:16
  marriage
• 8:17
  dissolved
• 8:17
  within
• 8:17
  a
• 8:17
  year.
• 8:18
  You
• 8:19
  were
• 8:19
  in
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  saddle
• 8:19
  Kushan.
• 8:19
  I
• 8:20
  was
• 8:20
  in
• 8:20
  Sadhakadusha.
• 8:21
  And
• 8:21
  it
• 8:21
  was
• 8:21
  like
• 8:22
  part
• 8:22
  of.
• 8:22
  I
• 8:23
  forget
• 8:23
  what
• 8:23
  it
• 8:23
  was
• 8:23
  that
• 8:23
  I
• 8:23
  was
• 8:24
  talking
• 8:24
  with
• 8:24
  him
• 8:24
  about,
• 8:25
  but
• 8:25
  I
• 8:25
  had
• 8:25
  mentioned
• 8:26
  this
• 8:27
  case
• 8:27
  of
• 8:27
  what
• 8:27
  had
• 8:28
  happened.
• 8:29
  And
• 8:29
  he
• 8:30
  said
• 8:30
  to
• 8:30
  me,
• 8:30
  he
• 8:30
  turned
• 8:31
  to
• 8:31
  me,
• 8:31
  he
• 8:31
  says,
• 8:31
  you
• 8:31
  shouldn't
• 8:31
  have
• 8:32
  done
• 8:32
  it.
• 8:32
  Shouldn't
• 8:33
  have
• 8:33
  done
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  wedding.
• 8:34
  Shouldn't
• 8:34
  have
• 8:34
  done
• 8:34
  the
• 8:34
  wedding.
• 8:35
  I
• 8:35
  said
• 8:36
  I
• 8:36
  was
• 8:36
  masada
• 8:37
  kedushin.
• 8:38
  He
• 8:38
  says,
• 8:38
  you
• 8:39
  shouldn't
• 8:39
  have
• 8:39
  done
• 8:39
  the
• 8:39
  wedding.
• 8:39
  I
• 8:39
  said,
• 8:40
  rabbi,
• 8:40
  how
• 8:40
  was
• 8:40
  I
• 8:40
  supposed
• 8:41
  to
• 8:41
  know
• 8:41
  that
• 8:41
  they
• 8:42
  weren't
• 8:42
  gonna
• 8:42
  be
• 8:42
  compatible?
• 8:43
  So
• 8:43
  he
• 8:43
  goes,
• 8:43
  it's
• 8:43
  your
• 8:43
  responsibility
• 8:45
  as
• 8:45
  a
• 8:46
  masada
• 8:46
  kedushin.
• 8:46
  He
• 8:47
  says,
• 8:47
  your
• 8:47
  responsibility
• 8:48
  is
• 8:48
  that
• 8:48
  the
• 8:48
  couple
• 8:49
  should
• 8:49
  be
• 8:49
  2
• 8:49
  capacity
• 8:50
  for
• 8:50
  each
• 8:50
  other.
• 8:51
  You
• 8:51
  shouldn't
• 8:52
  do
• 8:52
  it.
• 8:55
  Whoa.
• 8:57
  It
• 8:57
  was
• 8:57
  like.
• 8:58
  It
• 8:58
  was
• 8:59
  like
• 8:59
  he
• 8:59
  hit
• 8:59
  me
• 8:59
  with
• 8:59
  a
• 8:59
  bat.
• 9:01
  So
• 9:01
  I
• 9:01
  was
• 9:01
  macabre
• 9:03
  from
• 9:03
  that
• 9:04
  point
• 9:04
  on,
• 9:04
  I
• 9:04
  was
• 9:04
  macabre
• 9:05
  that
• 9:05
  I'm
• 9:05
  not
• 9:05
  going
• 9:05
  to
• 9:05
  do
• 9:05
  siddha
• 9:05
  kedushin.
• 9:07
  I
• 9:08
  don't
• 9:08
  need
• 9:08
  to
• 9:08
  do
• 9:08
  siricadushin.
• 9:09
  So
• 9:09
  I'm
• 9:09
  saying,
• 9:10
  why
• 9:11
  enter
• 9:11
  into
• 9:11
  that
• 9:12
  kind
• 9:12
  of
• 9:12
  thing?
• 9:15
  It
• 9:15
  was
• 9:15
  a
• 9:16
  tacit
• 9:16
  kabbalah,
• 9:16
  let's
• 9:17
  just
• 9:17
  say.
• 9:18
  So
• 9:18
  what
• 9:19
  ended
• 9:19
  up
• 9:19
  happening
• 9:20
  was,
• 9:20
  is
• 9:20
  that
• 9:20
  this
• 9:20
  guy
• 9:21
  found
• 9:21
  two
• 9:21
  years
• 9:21
  later,
• 9:22
  he
• 9:22
  finds
• 9:22
  his,
• 9:24
  and
• 9:25
  he's
• 9:25
  like,
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  want
• 9:25
  you
• 9:25
  to
• 9:26
  be.
• 9:27
  I
• 9:27
  said.
• 9:27
  I
• 9:27
  said,
• 9:28
  hung
• 9:28
  up
• 9:28
  the
• 9:28
  jersey,
• 9:29
  you
• 9:29
  know,
• 9:30
  I'm
• 9:30
  retired.
• 9:33
  Retired.
• 9:33
  So
• 9:34
  he
• 9:34
  says,
• 9:34
  no,
• 9:34
  you
• 9:34
  got
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  do
• 9:35
  it.
• 9:35
  Anyway,
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  make
• 9:35
  a
• 9:35
  long
• 9:35
  story
• 9:36
  short,
• 9:36
  Rabbi
• 9:37
  Pestin
• 9:37
  had
• 9:37
  passed.
• 9:40
  He
• 9:40
  was
• 9:40
  in
• 9:41
  a
• 9:41
  very.
• 9:41
  He
• 9:41
  was
• 9:41
  in
• 9:41
  a
• 9:41
  bind.
• 9:42
  He
• 9:42
  didn't
• 9:42
  have
• 9:42
  anyone
• 9:42
  else
• 9:42
  that
• 9:43
  he
• 9:43
  wanted
• 9:43
  to
• 9:43
  do.
• 9:43
  And
• 9:44
  I
• 9:44
  didn't
• 9:44
  know
• 9:44
  how
• 9:44
  to
• 9:44
  answer.
• 9:44
  So
• 9:45
  I
• 9:45
  said
• 9:45
  to
• 9:45
  him,
• 9:45
  fine.
• 9:46
  I
• 9:46
  said
• 9:46
  to
• 9:46
  him,
• 9:46
  I
• 9:47
  will.
• 9:47
  I
• 9:48
  will.
• 9:48
  I'll
• 9:49
  do
• 9:49
  it
• 9:49
  on
• 9:49
  condition
• 9:50
  that.
• 9:51
  On
• 9:51
  three
• 9:51
  conditions.
• 9:52
  Number
• 9:52
  one
• 9:53
  is
• 9:53
  that
• 9:54
  you
• 9:55
  have.
• 9:56
  You.
• 9:57
  You
• 9:57
  spend
• 9:57
  time
• 9:58
  with
• 9:58
  me,
• 9:58
  you
• 9:58
  and
• 9:58
  your
• 9:58
  college.
• 9:59
  Meaning
• 9:59
  we're
• 9:59
  going
• 9:59
  to
• 9:59
  have
• 9:59
  two
• 9:59
  sessions.
• 10:00
  It's
• 10:00
  going
• 10:00
  to
• 10:00
  be
• 10:01
  probably
• 10:01
  two
• 10:01
  to
• 10:02
  three
• 10:02
  hours
• 10:02
  each.
• 10:02
  So
• 10:02
  you're
• 10:02
  going
• 10:02
  to
• 10:03
  spend
• 10:03
  probably
• 10:03
  six
• 10:04
  hours.
• 10:04
  Assume
• 10:04
  you're
• 10:04
  going
• 10:04
  to
• 10:05
  spend
• 10:05
  six
• 10:05
  hours
• 10:05
  together
• 10:05
  with
• 10:06
  me,
• 10:06
  number
• 10:07
  one.
• 10:07
  Number
• 10:08
  two,
• 10:08
  you
• 10:08
  have
• 10:08
  to
• 10:09
  sign
• 10:09
  up
• 10:09
  for
• 10:09
  a
• 10:09
  premarital
• 10:10
  counseling
• 10:11
  class
• 10:11
  that
• 10:11
  I
• 10:11
  vet.
• 10:12
  It's
• 10:12
  got
• 10:12
  to
• 10:12
  be
• 10:12
  a
• 10:12
  proper
• 10:13
  one.
• 10:13
  And.
• 10:14
  Or
• 10:14
  work
• 10:14
  with
• 10:14
  a
• 10:15
  therapist.
• 10:16
  Number
• 10:16
  three,
• 10:17
  you
• 10:17
  have
• 10:17
  to
• 10:17
  sign
• 10:17
  halachic
• 10:18
  pre
• 10:18
  prenups.
• 10:20
  So
• 10:21
  since
• 10:21
  then,
• 10:21
  I
• 10:21
  haven't
• 10:22
  really
• 10:22
  been
• 10:22
  burdened
• 10:22
  by
• 10:24
  weddings,
• 10:25
  although
• 10:25
  there
• 10:25
  have
• 10:25
  been
• 10:25
  a
• 10:26
  couple.
• 10:26
  What?
• 10:30
  But
• 10:30
  what's
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  point?
• 10:30
  The
• 10:31
  point
• 10:31
  here
• 10:31
  is
• 10:31
  that
• 10:32
  what
• 10:32
  the
• 10:32
  rebbe
• 10:32
  is
• 10:32
  saying
• 10:33
  here
• 10:33
  is
• 10:33
  that
• 10:34
  the
• 10:34
  one
• 10:34
  who
• 10:34
  conveys
• 10:35
  the
• 10:35
  smicha,
• 10:36
  right,
• 10:42
  he
• 10:43
  says,
• 10:43
  like
• 10:43
  that
• 10:43
  case.
• 10:43
  He
• 10:44
  says.
• 10:44
  He
• 10:44
  said,
• 10:44
  you
• 10:44
  think
• 10:45
  Siddehusha
• 10:45
  says
• 10:46
  you're
• 10:46
  responsible,
• 10:46
  you're
• 10:47
  bringing
• 10:47
  them
• 10:47
  to
• 10:47
  the
• 10:47
  chuppah.
• 10:48
  He
• 10:48
  says,
• 10:48
  you
• 10:49
  don't
• 10:49
  think
• 10:49
  it's
• 10:49
  your
• 10:49
  responsibility.
• 10:50
  That
• 10:50
  was
• 10:50
  his
• 10:50
  point
• 10:51
  to
• 10:51
  me.
• 10:51
  Okay?
• 10:51
  I'm
• 10:52
  not
• 10:52
  saying
• 10:53
  other
• 10:53
  people
• 10:53
  won't
• 10:54
  argue
• 10:54
  with
• 10:54
  him.
• 10:55
  But
• 10:55
  his
• 10:55
  point
• 10:56
  was
• 10:56
  that
• 10:56
  you're
• 10:56
  not
• 10:56
  just
• 10:56
  making
• 10:57
  a
• 10:57
  bracha,
• 10:57
  you're
• 10:58
  bringing
• 10:58
  a
• 10:58
  couple
• 10:59
  together
• 11:00
  to
• 11:00
  make
• 11:00
  sure
• 11:00
  that
• 11:01
  the
• 11:01
  tsukwas.
• 11:01
  You're
• 11:02
  giving
• 11:02
  smichah
• 11:03
  to
• 11:03
  a
• 11:03
  rav
• 11:03
  and
• 11:04
  you're
• 11:04
  giving
• 11:04
  him
• 11:04
  the
• 11:04
  power,
• 11:05
  the
• 11:05
  taika,
• 11:06
  to
• 11:07
  be
• 11:07
  a
• 11:07
  manig.
• 11:07
  And
• 11:08
  if
• 11:08
  that
• 11:08
  anhoga
• 11:09
  goes
• 11:09
  sideways,
• 11:10
  he
• 11:10
  says,
• 11:10
  ultimately
• 11:11
  it's
• 11:11
  on
• 11:11
  you.
• 11:13
  And
• 11:13
  that
• 11:13
  was
• 11:13
  obviously
• 11:14
  the
• 11:14
  challenge
• 11:16
  at
• 11:16
  the
• 11:17
  time.
• 11:17
  He
• 11:17
  says,
• 11:18
  vayadeh
• 11:19
  shamasmichem.
• 11:20
  Continuing
• 11:20
  on.
• 11:27
  Now
• 11:27
  the
• 11:27
  rebbe
• 11:27
  is
• 11:28
  going
• 11:28
  to
• 11:28
  say,
• 11:28
  because
• 11:29
  of
• 11:29
  this,
• 11:29
  what
• 11:30
  we
• 11:30
  write
• 11:30
  and
• 11:30
  sign
• 11:31
  our
• 11:31
  names
• 11:31
  to,
• 11:32
  okay,
• 11:32
  he's
• 11:33
  going
• 11:33
  to
• 11:33
  talk
• 11:33
  about
• 11:33
  Ksav,
• 11:35
  meaning
• 11:36
  there's
• 11:36
  a
• 11:36
  Ksava
• 11:37
  issuer,
• 11:37
  right?
• 11:37
  There's
• 11:38
  a
• 11:38
  certification,
• 11:39
  and
• 11:39
  there's
• 11:39
  also
• 11:39
  the
• 11:39
  Ksav.
• 11:40
  What
• 11:40
  we
• 11:40
  write
• 11:41
  now,
• 11:41
  it
• 11:41
  could
• 11:41
  take
• 11:42
  on
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  form
• 11:42
  of
• 11:43
  the
• 11:43
  xerus
• 11:44
  of
• 11:44
  chazal,
• 11:44
  meaning
• 11:45
  what
• 11:45
  the
• 11:45
  vada
• 11:45
  rabbanim
• 11:46
  comes
• 11:46
  out
• 11:46
  with,
• 11:47
  meaning
• 11:47
  that
• 11:48
  is
• 11:48
  weakened.
• 11:51
  If
• 11:51
  what
• 11:51
  you
• 11:52
  assign
• 11:52
  an
• 11:53
  authority
• 11:53
  to
• 11:54
  is
• 11:54
  weakened,
• 11:55
  what
• 11:55
  you
• 11:55
  yourself
• 11:56
  are
• 11:56
  in
• 11:56
  control
• 11:56
  of
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  write
• 11:57
  your
• 11:57
  authority
• 11:58
  about
• 11:58
  is
• 11:58
  weakened.
• 12:00
  B'
• 12:00
  nais
• 12:01
  den
• 12:01
  kayak,
• 12:01
  B'
• 12:01
  Ksav
• 12:02
  Yadam.
• 12:04
  He
• 12:04
  says,
• 12:04
  it
• 12:05
  turns
• 12:05
  out
• 12:05
  that
• 12:05
  you
• 12:06
  weaken
• 12:06
  Karl
• 12:07
  and
• 12:08
  you
• 12:08
  give
• 12:08
  kayak
• 12:08
  to
• 12:09
  their
• 12:09
  Ksav.
• 12:16
  And
• 12:16
  it
• 12:16
  comes
• 12:16
  back
• 12:17
  because.
• 12:17
  Because
• 12:18
  of
• 12:18
  that
• 12:19
  what
• 12:19
  the
• 12:19
  power,
• 12:22
  it
• 12:22
  boomerangs
• 12:23
  so
• 12:23
  that
• 12:23
  we
• 12:24
  don't
• 12:24
  have
• 12:24
  power
• 12:24
  in
• 12:24
  our
• 12:25
  Ksavim.
• 12:26
  So
• 12:26
  if
• 12:26
  they
• 12:26
  say
• 12:27
  in
• 12:27
  the
• 12:27
  conservative
• 12:28
  movement
• 12:28
  that
• 12:28
  this
• 12:28
  rabbi
• 12:29
  is
• 12:29
  a
• 12:29
  musmach
• 12:30
  of
• 12:30
  a
• 12:30
  great
• 12:30
  gutter
• 12:31
  and
• 12:31
  he's
• 12:31
  an
• 12:31
  Orthodox
• 12:32
  rabbi,
• 12:32
  the
• 12:32
  point
• 12:32
  is
• 12:33
  that
• 12:33
  they
• 12:33
  give
• 12:33
  tikif
• 12:34
  to
• 12:34
  the
• 12:34
  conservative
• 12:35
  movement
• 12:35
  and
• 12:35
  the
• 12:35
  conservative
• 12:36
  and.
• 12:36
  And
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  conservative
• 12:37
  rabbi,
• 12:38
  ultimately
• 12:38
  it
• 12:38
  also
• 12:39
  backfires
• 12:39
  because
• 12:40
  then
• 12:40
  the
• 12:40
  Orthodox
• 12:41
  doesn't
• 12:41
  look
• 12:42
  if
• 12:42
  they
• 12:43
  bend
• 12:43
  the
• 12:43
  rules,
• 12:43
  they
• 12:43
  bend
• 12:43
  their
• 12:44
  rules.
• 12:45
  Back
• 12:45
  in
• 12:46
  the
• 12:46
  day,
• 12:46
  I
• 12:46
  think,
• 12:46
  like
• 12:47
  in
• 12:47
  the
• 12:47
  50s,
• 12:48
  so
• 12:48
  you
• 12:49
  had
• 12:49
  a
• 12:50
  lot
• 12:50
  of
• 12:50
  guys
• 12:50
  that
• 12:50
  came
• 12:51
  out
• 12:51
  with
• 12:51
  smilas,
• 12:51
  but
• 12:52
  because
• 12:52
  they
• 12:52
  couldn't
• 12:53
  find
• 12:53
  jobs,
• 12:53
  so
• 12:53
  they
• 12:54
  became
• 12:54
  conservative,
• 12:55
  like
• 12:55
  from
• 12:55
  total.
• 12:55
  Das
• 12:57
  right
• 12:57
  places
• 12:58
  like
• 12:58
  that,
• 12:58
  right?
• 13:00
  You
• 13:00
  had
• 13:00
  big.
• 13:01
  Right,
• 13:02
  right.
• 13:02
  And
• 13:02
  you
• 13:02
  had
• 13:03
  problems.
• 13:03
  Like,
• 13:03
  you
• 13:03
  know,
• 13:04
  what
• 13:04
  about
• 13:04
  the
• 13:05
  microphone?
• 13:06
  Meaning?
• 13:06
  What
• 13:06
  about

  this

  thing

  where
• 13:09
  halakhakli,
• 13:10
  you
• 13:10
  know,
• 13:11
  was
• 13:12
  it
• 13:12
  allowed?
• 13:12
  Was
• 13:12
  it
• 13:12
  not
• 13:12
  allowed?
• 13:13
  Somebody
• 13:14
  just
• 13:14
  told
• 13:14
  me
• 13:15
  that
• 13:18
  somebody.
• 13:20
  Somebody's
• 13:20
  father
• 13:20
  was
• 13:21
  a
• 13:21
  conservative
• 13:21
  rabbi,
• 13:23
  and
• 13:23
  his
• 13:23
  rashiva
• 13:24
  told
• 13:24
  him
• 13:25
  that
• 13:25
  els
• 13:26
  coved
• 13:26
  he
• 13:26
  should
• 13:27
  go
• 13:27
  to
• 13:27
  his
• 13:27
  father's
• 13:27
  shul.
• 13:29
  Even
• 13:29
  though
• 13:29
  his
• 13:30
  father
• 13:30
  was
• 13:30
  a
• 13:30
  rav
• 13:30
  in
• 13:31
  a
• 13:31
  shul
• 13:31
  with
• 13:31
  a
• 13:31
  microphone,
• 13:32
  Altzkava,
• 13:33
  he
• 13:33
  has
• 13:33
  to
• 13:34
  go
• 13:34
  to
• 13:34
  his
• 13:34
  father's
• 13:34
  shul.
• 13:35
  I
• 13:36
  don't
• 13:36
  know
• 13:36
  if
• 13:36
  he
• 13:36
  has
• 13:36
  sadav
• 13:37
  in
• 13:37
  there,
• 13:37
  but
• 13:38
  he
• 13:38
  just
• 13:38
  had
• 13:38
  to
• 13:38
  go
• 13:41
  a
• 13:41
  big
• 13:41
  rush
• 13:42
  Shiva
• 13:42
  paska
• 13:42
  in
• 13:43
  that
• 13:43
  for
• 13:43
  him.
• 13:47
  All
• 13:47
  right.
• 13:47
  These
• 13:47
  are
• 13:48
  complicated
• 13:48
  Shots.
• 13:48
  But
• 13:49
  the
• 13:49
  point
• 13:49
  is
• 13:49
  that
• 13:50
  you
• 13:50
  weaken
• 13:51
  the
• 13:51
  ksav.
• 13:52
  Yeah,
• 13:53
  Ki'.
• 13:54
  Im.
• 13:59
  And
• 13:59
  then
• 13:59
  we
• 13:59
  are
• 13:59
  forced
• 13:59
  now
• 14:00
  to
• 14:00
  learn
• 14:02
  their
• 14:02
  stuff.
• 14:03
  Their
• 14:04
  education
• 14:07
  came

  nai
• 14:08
  Yisrael
• 14:09
  mimok
• 14:09
  hamayishuv.
• 14:10
  And
• 14:10
  not
• 14:11
  only
• 14:11
  that,
• 14:11
  but
• 14:12
  we
• 14:12
  are
• 14:12
  exiled
• 14:13
  because
• 14:13
  of
• 14:13
  it.
• 14:14
  From
• 14:14
  the
• 14:14
  place
• 14:14
  where
• 14:14
  we're
• 14:15
  living,
• 14:17
  where
• 14:18
  we
• 14:18
  already
• 14:18
  inhabited
• 14:19
  this
• 14:19
  place,
• 14:19
  we're
• 14:19
  in
• 14:19
  this
• 14:20
  town,
• 14:20
  we.
• 14:20
  We've
• 14:20
  set
• 14:21
  up
• 14:21
  shop,
• 14:21
  we
• 14:21
  have
• 14:21
  a
• 14:21
  beautiful
• 14:22
  base,
• 14:22
  Medrash.
• 14:22
  We
• 14:23
  have,
• 14:23
  we
• 14:24
  have
• 14:24
  Sheikh
• 14:25
  Tim,
• 14:25
  we
• 14:25
  have
• 14:25
  Jewish
• 14:26
  life.
• 14:27
  We
• 14:27
  have.
• 14:27
  We're
• 14:28
  following
• 14:28
  the
• 14:29
  Torah
• 14:29
  and
• 14:29
  halacha.
• 14:30
  And
• 14:30
  all
• 14:30
  of
• 14:30
  a
• 14:30
  sudden
• 14:31
  there's
• 14:31
  a
• 14:31
  gzera
• 14:31
  from
• 14:32
  the
• 14:32
  Tsar
• 14:32
  that
• 14:33
  we
• 14:33
  have
• 14:33
  to
• 14:33
  move
• 14:33
  elsewhere
• 14:34
  in
• 14:34
  Russia.
• 14:38
  So
• 14:38
  here
• 14:38
  he's
• 14:38
  specifically
• 14:39
  talking
• 14:40
  to
• 14:42
  phenomena
• 14:42
  that
• 14:42
  happened
• 14:43
  in,
• 14:43
  in
• 14:43
  his
• 14:44
  time
• 14:45
  that
• 14:48
  he's
• 14:48
  saying
• 14:49
  the
• 14:49
  result
• 14:49
  of
• 14:50
  the
• 14:50
  fact
• 14:51
  that
• 14:51
  we're
• 14:51
  forced
• 14:52
  to
• 14:52
  learn
• 14:52
  the
• 14:53
  secular
• 14:53
  education
• 14:54
  of
• 14:55
  the
• 14:56
  Russians
• 14:56
  and
• 14:57
  the
• 14:57
  fact
• 14:57
  that
• 14:57
  we're
• 14:58
  forced
• 14:58
  to
• 14:58
  move
• 14:59
  because
• 15:01
  of
• 15:01
  their
• 15:01
  decrees
• 15:02
  is
• 15:03
  a
• 15:03
  direct
• 15:03
  result
• 15:04
  of
• 15:04
  giving
• 15:04
  smicha
• 15:05
  and
• 15:06
  giving
• 15:06
  power
• 15:07
  to
• 15:07
  those
• 15:07
  people,
• 15:08
  to
• 15:08
  manhigim,
• 15:08
  who
• 15:09
  are
• 15:13
  now
• 15:14
  very
• 15:14
  interesting.
• 15:15
  The
• 15:15
  sefer
• 15:16
  just
• 15:16
  came
• 15:16
  out
• 15:17
  from
• 15:17
  Rabbi
• 15:17
  Daniel
• 15:18
  Gladstein
• 15:19
  called
• 15:19
  Tzipisali
• 15:19
  Shua.
• 15:20
  He
• 15:20
  translated
• 15:21
  it's
• 15:22
  like
• 15:22
  hot,
• 15:22
  hot
• 15:22
  off
• 15:22
  the
• 15:22
  press.
• 15:23
  He
• 15:23
  translated
• 15:24
  the
• 15:24
  Chavez
• 15:25
  Chaim's
• 15:25
  Kuntris
• 15:26
  Tzipisali
• 15:26
  Yeshua.
• 15:28
  So
• 15:29
  he
• 15:30
  says
• 15:30
  in
• 15:30
  the.
• 15:30
  If
• 15:30
  you
• 15:31
  go
• 15:31
  to
• 15:31
  the
• 15:31
  kev
• 15:31
  of
• 15:31
  the
• 15:31
  Chavez
• 15:32
  Chayim,
• 15:33
  he
• 15:33
  says,
• 15:33
  you'll
• 15:33
  find
• 15:34
  all
• 15:34
  of
• 15:34
  his
• 15:35
  on
• 15:35
  the
• 15:35
  kevr.
• 15:36
  You'll
• 15:36
  find
• 15:36
  all
• 15:36
  of
• 15:36
  the
• 15:37
  sefaram
• 15:38
  that
• 15:38
  he
• 15:38
  wrote.
• 15:39
  And
• 15:39
  there's
• 15:39
  no
• 15:40
  safe.
• 15:41
  This
• 15:41
  safer's
• 15:41
  not
• 15:41
  listed.
• 15:45
  He
• 15:46
  wrote
• 15:46
  a
• 15:46
  lot,
• 15:46
  what
• 15:47
  we
• 15:47
  would
• 15:47
  call
• 15:47
  nowadays
• 15:48
  pamphlets,
• 15:48
  right?
• 15:49
  So
• 15:50
  he
• 15:50
  wants
• 15:51
  to
• 15:51
  say
• 15:51
  that
• 15:51
  there's
• 15:52
  a
• 15:52
  line
• 15:52
  at
• 15:52
  the
• 15:52
  bottom.
• 15:52
  There's
• 15:53
  like
• 15:53
  a
• 15:53
  space,
• 15:54
  you
• 15:55
  know,
• 15:55
  for
• 15:55
  like,
• 15:56
  it
• 15:56
  looks
• 15:56
  like
• 15:56
  yet
• 15:57
  another
• 15:58
  Safer.
• 15:59
  And
• 15:59
  he's
• 15:59
  suggesting
• 16:00
  that
• 16:00
  really
• 16:01
  it
• 16:01
  was
• 16:01
  meant
• 16:01
  for
• 16:01
  this.
• 16:02
  The
• 16:02
  problem
• 16:02
  was
• 16:02
  it
• 16:02
  was
• 16:02
  censored
• 16:04
  or
• 16:04
  it
• 16:04
  had
• 16:04
  to
• 16:04
  go
• 16:04
  through
• 16:05
  the
• 16:05
  process
• 16:05
  of
• 16:05
  being
• 16:06
  censored.
• 16:07
  And
• 16:07
  so
• 16:08
  there's
• 16:08
  a
• 16:08
  piece
• 16:08
  here
• 16:09
  that
• 16:09
  talks
• 16:09
  about
• 16:09
  the
• 16:10
  historical.
• 16:13
  There's
• 16:13
  a
• 16:13
  historical
• 16:14
  preface
• 16:14
  on
• 16:15
  it.
• 16:15
  And
• 16:15
  he
• 16:15
  says
• 16:16
  something
• 16:16
  very
• 16:16
  fascinating,
• 16:17
  which
• 16:17
  is
• 16:17
  mamish,
• 16:17
  relevant
• 16:18
  to
• 16:18
  this
• 16:18
  Torah,
• 16:19
  okay?
• 16:20
  He
• 16:20
  says
• 16:20
  in,
• 16:21
  in
• 16:21
  1929.
• 16:23
  So
• 16:26
  Rabbi
• 16:27
  Gladstone,
• 16:27
  Rabbi
• 16:28
  Gladstein
• 16:28
  writes
• 16:29
  in
• 16:29
  the
• 16:29
  historical
• 16:29
  preface
• 16:30
  of
• 16:30
  this
• 16:31
  that
• 16:31
  he
• 16:32
  gives
• 16:32
  the
• 16:32
  context
• 16:33
  for
• 16:34
  why
• 16:34
  this
• 16:34
  was
• 16:35
  like,
• 16:35
  not
• 16:35
  found.
• 16:36
  And
• 16:37
  he
• 16:37
  says
• 16:37
  that
• 16:38
  his
• 16:39
  son
• 16:39
  in
• 16:39
  law,
• 16:39
  Rab
• 16:40
  Aaron
• 16:40
  Hakoyen,
• 16:41
  which
• 16:41
  is
• 16:41
  the
• 16:41
  son
• 16:41
  in
• 16:42
  law
• 16:42
  of
• 16:42
  the
• 16:42
  Chavez
• 16:42
  Chaim,
• 16:43
  he
• 16:43
  was
• 16:43
  also
• 16:44
  the
• 16:44
  author
• 16:44
  of,
• 16:46
  he
• 16:46
  published
• 16:47
  in
• 16:47
  Tel
• 16:47
  Aviv,
• 16:47
  this
• 16:48
  country,
• 16:51
  okay?
• 16:51
  And
• 16:52
  in
• 16:52
  the
• 16:52
  title
• 16:53
  page,
• 16:53
  he
• 16:54
  says,
• 16:55
  you
• 16:55
  know,
• 16:56
  it's
• 16:56
  from
• 16:56
  his
• 16:56
  father
• 16:56
  in
• 16:56
  law,
• 16:57
  the
• 16:57
  Chavez
• 16:57
  Chaim,
• 16:58
  etc.
• 16:59
  He
• 16:59
  says
• 17:00
  it
• 17:00
  became
• 17:00
  publicized
• 17:01
  decades
• 17:01
  ago,
• 17:01
  but
• 17:02
  because
• 17:02
  of
• 17:02
  censorship,
• 17:03
  the
• 17:03
  choir
• 17:04
  was
• 17:04
  compelled
• 17:05
  to
• 17:05
  include
• 17:05
  it
• 17:05
  as
• 17:05
  a
• 17:05
  supplement
• 17:06
  in
• 17:06
  the
• 17:06
  periodical
• 17:07
  Hapeles
• 17:08
  that
• 17:09
  had
• 17:09
  appeared
• 17:09
  at
• 17:10
  that
• 17:10
  time.
• 17:11
  Now
• 17:12
  it's
• 17:12
  being
• 17:12
  published.
• 17:13
  So
• 17:14
  he
• 17:14
  had
• 17:14
  to
• 17:15
  find
• 17:15
  where
• 17:15
  it
• 17:16
  was,
• 17:16
  you
• 17:17
  know,
• 17:17
  they
• 17:17
  had
• 17:17
  sent
• 17:18
  it
• 17:18
  elsewhere
• 17:18
  to
• 17:19
  be
• 17:19
  published
• 17:19
  in
• 17:19
  this
• 17:20
  magazine
• 17:20
  Hapeles
• 17:22
  because
• 17:22
  of
• 17:23
  this
• 17:23
  problem.
• 17:24
  So
• 17:24
  the
• 17:24
  point
• 17:25
  was
• 17:25
  like
• 17:25
  this,
• 17:26
  what
• 17:26
  had
• 17:26
  happened?
• 17:27
  So
• 17:27
  he
• 17:27
  says,
• 17:28
  because
• 17:31
  the
• 17:32
  Chofish
• 17:32
  Chaim
• 17:32
  was
• 17:33
  publishing
• 17:33
  all
• 17:33
  of
• 17:33
  his
• 17:34
  Svarim,
• 17:35
  he
• 17:35
  says
• 17:35
  when
• 17:36
  he
• 17:36
  completed
• 17:36
  the
• 17:37
  Sefer
• 17:37
  Chavitz
• 17:37
  Chaim,
• 17:38
  he
• 17:38
  had
• 17:38
  to
• 17:38
  get
• 17:38
  a
• 17:38
  permit
• 17:40
  by
• 17:40
  the.

  By
• 17:41
  the
• 17:41
  Russian
• 17:41
  government,
• 17:43
  right?
• 17:43
  So
• 17:44
  he
• 17:44
  went
• 17:44
  to
• 17:44
  Vilna
• 17:45
  to
• 17:45
  have
• 17:45
  his
• 17:45
  work
• 17:45
  printed.
• 17:46
  And
• 17:46
  he
• 17:47
  was
• 17:47
  appointed
• 17:48
  a
• 17:48
  censor
• 17:48
  was
• 17:49
  Joshua
• 17:49
  Steinberg,
• 17:50
  who
• 17:51
  lived
• 17:51
  between
• 17:52
  1839
• 17:52
  to
• 17:52
  1908,
• 17:53
  who
• 17:53
  was
• 17:54
  a
• 17:54
  known
• 17:54
  member
• 17:54
  of
• 17:54
  the
• 17:55
  Haskalah
• 17:57
  and
• 17:57
  a
• 17:57
  product
• 17:58
  of
• 17:58
  a
• 17:58
  rabbinical
• 17:58
  seminary
• 17:59
  of
• 17:59
  Vilna.
• 18:00
  Okay,
• 18:00
  now
• 18:01
  you
• 18:01
  think
• 18:02
  this
• 18:02
  is
• 18:02
  Sifra
• 18:03
  Chavitz
• 18:03
  Chaim.
• 18:04
  He
• 18:04
  has
• 18:05
  to
• 18:05
  go
• 18:05
  to
• 18:05
  Vilna
• 18:06
  to
• 18:06
  get
• 18:06
  a
• 18:06
  permit
• 18:07
  from
• 18:07
  someone
• 18:07
  in
• 18:08
  Haskala
• 18:08
  to
• 18:09
  review
• 18:09
  his
• 18:09
  work.
• 18:15
  Big
• 18:15
  Haskala.
• 18:16
  Yeah,
• 18:16
  big,
• 18:17
  big
• 18:17
  movement,
• 18:18
  you
• 18:18
  know,
• 18:19
  until
• 18:20
  I
• 18:20
  think,
• 18:21
  through
• 18:21
  the.
• 18:21
  Through
• 18:22
  the
• 18:22
  30s,
• 18:22
  I
• 18:23
  mean,
• 18:23
  before
• 18:23
  the
• 18:25
  Holocaust.
• 18:26
  So
• 18:26
  Steinberg
• 18:27
  was
• 18:28
  the
• 18:28
  son
• 18:28
  in
• 18:28
  law
• 18:28
  of
• 18:28
  Adam
• 18:29
  Hakouin
• 18:29
  Lebenson,
• 18:30
  who
• 18:31
  lived,
• 18:31
  who
• 18:31
  died
• 18:31
  in
• 18:32
  1879,
• 18:33
  who
• 18:33
  was
• 18:34
  considered
• 18:34
  the
• 18:34
  father
• 18:34
  of
• 18:35
  the
• 18:35
  Haskalah
• 18:35
  movement
• 18:35
  in
• 18:36
  Lithuania.
• 18:38
  In
• 18:39
  an
• 18:39
  ironic
• 18:39
  twist
• 18:39
  of
• 18:40
  history,
• 18:40
  the
• 18:40
  Chavez
• 18:40
  Chaim
• 18:41
  met
• 18:41
  with
• 18:41
  Steinberg
• 18:42
  through
• 18:42
  the
• 18:42
  publication
• 18:43
  of
• 18:43
  this
• 18:43
  Sefer
• 18:44
  years
• 18:44
  earlier,
• 18:45
  during
• 18:45
  the
• 18:45
  Chavez
• 18:45
  time's
• 18:46
  adolescence.
• 18:46
  And
• 18:47
  he
• 18:47
  studied
• 18:47
  in
• 18:47
  Vilna,
• 18:48
  in
• 18:48
  Ravparnas
• 18:48
  Base
• 18:49
  Medish.
• 18:49
  And
• 18:49
  at
• 18:49
  that
• 18:50
  time,
• 18:50
  that
• 18:50
  scholar
• 18:50
  was
• 18:51
  at
• 18:51
  what
• 18:51
  was
• 18:51
  at
• 18:52
  its
• 18:52
  zenith
• 18:53
  in
• 18:53
  Vilna.
• 18:54
  And
• 18:55
  this
• 18:55
  Adam
• 18:55
  Akohen
• 18:56
  Levinson
• 18:56
  and
• 18:57
  Burke
• 18:58
  Michaelischker,
• 18:59
  as
• 19:00
  he
• 19:00
  was
• 19:00
  called,
• 19:01
  engaged
• 19:01
  in
• 19:02
  long
• 19:02
  conversations
• 19:02
  with
• 19:03
  Rabbi
• 19:03
  so
• 19:03
  Meir,
• 19:04
  with
• 19:04
  the
• 19:04
  Chabetz
• 19:05
  Chaim
• 19:05
  when
• 19:05
  he
• 19:05
  was
• 19:05
  a
• 19:05
  young
• 19:06
  man,
• 19:07
  he
• 19:07
  and
• 19:07
  the
• 19:07
  other
• 19:07
  Maskilim
• 19:08
  cast
• 19:08
  their
• 19:09
  eyes
• 19:09
  on
• 19:09
  the
• 19:09
  child
• 19:09
  prodigy
• 19:10
  known
• 19:10
  as
• 19:10
  the
• 19:10
  Eloi
• 19:11
  of
• 19:11
  Jetel
• 19:13
  to
• 19:13
  ensnare
• 19:13
  him
• 19:14
  and
• 19:14
  join
• 19:14
  their
• 19:14
  camp.
• 19:15
  Once
• 19:15
  a
• 19:16
  water
• 19:16
  carrier
• 19:16
  noticed
• 19:17
  the
• 19:17
  young
• 19:17
  boy
• 19:17
  engaging
• 19:17
  in
• 19:18
  one
• 19:18
  of
• 19:18
  these
• 19:18
  long
• 19:18
  conversations
• 19:18
  with
• 19:19
  Levinson.
• 19:20
  And
• 19:21
  the
• 19:21
  water
• 19:21
  carrier
• 19:22
  warned
• 19:22
  Ruby
• 19:22
  Soil
• 19:23
  Meir,
• 19:23
  the
• 19:23
  young
• 19:24
  boy.
• 19:24
  He
• 19:24
  says
• 19:24
  about
• 19:25
  Levinson's
• 19:25
  insidious
• 19:26
  intentions,
• 19:27
  you
• 19:28
  know,
• 19:28
  and
• 19:28
  his
• 19:28
  flagrant
• 19:29
  violation
• 19:29
  of
• 19:29
  Jewish
• 19:30
  law.
• 19:31
  When
• 19:31
  young
• 19:31
  Rivsol
• 19:32
  Mayer
• 19:32
  heard
• 19:32
  this,
• 19:33
  he
• 19:33
  immediately
• 19:33
  fled
• 19:33
  Vilna.
• 19:34
  And
• 19:35
  throughout
• 19:35
  his
• 19:35
  life
• 19:36
  he
• 19:36
  often
• 19:37
  expressed
• 19:37
  gratitude
• 19:38
  to
• 19:38
  this
• 19:38
  simple
• 19:39
  water
• 19:39
  carrier,
• 19:39
  Vilna,
• 19:40
  who
• 19:40
  saved
• 19:40
  him
• 19:41
  and.
• 19:41
  And
• 19:41
  all
• 19:41
  the
• 19:41
  future
• 19:41
  contributions
• 19:42
  from
• 19:42
  the
• 19:42
  clutches
• 19:43
  of
• 19:43
  Levinson.
• 19:45
  And
• 19:46
  now,
• 19:46
  years
• 19:46
  later
• 19:47
  he's
• 19:47
  confronted
• 19:48
  by
• 19:48
  Levinson's
• 19:49
  son
• 19:49
  in
• 19:49
  law,
• 19:50
  Steinberg,
• 19:50
  who
• 19:51
  remembered
• 19:51
  to
• 19:51
  be
• 19:52
  mayor.
• 19:54
  We
• 19:54
  don't
• 19:54
  have
• 19:55
  the
• 19:55
  information
• 19:55
  of
• 19:55
  what
• 19:56
  type
• 19:56
  of
• 19:56
  censorship
• 19:57
  he
• 19:58
  encountered
• 19:58
  trying
• 19:58
  to
• 19:58
  publish
• 19:59
  it,
• 19:59
  but
• 20:00
  you
• 20:00
  can
• 20:00
  easily
• 20:01
  imagine
• 20:03
  it
• 20:03
  was
• 20:03
  a
• 20:03
  problem.
• 20:04
  So
• 20:04
  I
• 20:05
  think
• 20:05
  it's
• 20:06
  implied
• 20:06
  by
• 20:06
  what
• 20:06
  you
• 20:06
  said.
• 20:07
  Said
• 20:07
  so
• 20:07
  far.
• 20:07
  He
• 20:08
  didn't
• 20:08
  allow
• 20:08
  him
• 20:09
  to
• 20:09
  publish
• 20:09
  it.
• 20:09
  That's
• 20:09
  why.
• 20:10
  Independently.
• 20:11
  And
• 20:11
  that's
• 20:11
  why
• 20:11
  he.
• 20:11
  Right.
• 20:12
  He
• 20:12
  put
• 20:12
  it
• 20:12
  in
• 20:13
  a
• 20:13
  periodical
• 20:14
  which
• 20:14
  doesn't
• 20:14
  go
• 20:15
  through
• 20:15
  the
• 20:15
  regular
• 20:16
  censorship
• 20:16
  process.
• 20:17
  Right.
• 20:18
  He
• 20:18
  didn't
• 20:18
  allow.
• 20:18
  Right.
• 20:19
  So
• 20:20
  he
• 20:20
  says
• 20:20
  once
• 20:20
  during
• 20:20
  a
• 20:21
  conversation
• 20:21
  with
• 20:21
  Steinberg,
• 20:22
  Chavez
• 20:22
  Chaim
• 20:22
  happened
• 20:23
  to
• 20:23
  say
• 20:23
  goyim
• 20:23
  lahavdil
• 20:25
  at
• 20:25
  that.
• 20:26
  And
• 20:26
  then,
• 20:27
  then
• 20:27
  Steinberg
• 20:28
  said
• 20:28
  who
• 20:28
  was
• 20:28
  a
• 20:28
  protagonist
• 20:29
  of
• 20:29
  the
• 20:29
  Haskalah.
• 20:30
  There's
• 20:30
  no
• 20:30
  lahab.
• 20:31
  There's
• 20:31
  no
• 20:31
  distinction
• 20:31
  between
• 20:32
  all
• 20:32
  sons.
• 20:32
  All
• 20:32
  sons
• 20:33
  of
• 20:33
  man,
• 20:33
  of
• 20:33
  God
• 20:34
  are
• 20:34
  equal.
• 20:35
  All
• 20:35
  sons
• 20:35
  of
• 20:36
  man
• 20:36
  are
• 20:36
  equal.
• 20:38
  So
• 20:38
  you
• 20:38
  can
• 20:38
  imagine
• 20:39
  he's
• 20:39
  publishing
• 20:40
  Tzipisali
• 20:40
  Yeshua
• 20:41
  for
• 20:41
  the
• 20:41
  Yiddin.
• 20:42
  It
• 20:43
  ain't
• 20:43
  gonna
• 20:43
  make
• 20:43
  it
• 20:43
  through
• 20:45
  anyway.
• 20:46
  It's
• 20:46
  a
• 20:46
  very
• 20:47
  interesting.
• 20:47
  So
• 20:48
  to
• 20:48
  this
• 20:48
  point,
• 20:49
  you
• 20:49
  know,
• 20:50
  ironically,
• 20:51
  the
• 20:51
  Chavez
• 20:51
  Chayim
• 20:52
  Svarim,
• 20:52
  which
• 20:53
  we
• 20:53
  learn
• 20:53
  are
• 20:53
  unreal,
• 20:55
  they
• 20:56
  had
• 20:56
  to
• 20:56
  go
• 20:56
  through
• 20:56
  the
• 20:56
  Kur
• 20:57
  Habarzo
• 20:57
  of
• 20:58
  Ahaskoa.
• 21:01
  That
• 21:01
  was.
• 21:01
  That's
• 21:02
  what
• 21:02
  the
• 21:02
  Rebbe
• 21:02
  here
• 21:02
  is
• 21:03
  talking
• 21:03
  about,
• 21:03
  which
• 21:03
  is
• 21:04
  we're
• 21:05
  forced,
• 21:05
  in
• 21:06
  terms
• 21:06
  of
• 21:06
  their
• 21:07
  secular.
• 21:08
  We're
• 21:08
  forced
• 21:08
  to
• 21:08
  learn
• 21:09
  their
• 21:09
  secular.
• 21:11
  So
• 21:12
  there
• 21:12
  could
• 21:12
  be.
• 21:12
  Listen,
• 21:13
  this
• 21:13
  is
• 21:13
  still
• 21:13
  relevant
• 21:14
  to
• 21:14
  us
• 21:14
  nowadays.
• 21:15
  Somehow
• 21:15
  we
• 21:15
  have
• 21:15
  to
• 21:15
  figure
• 21:16
  out
• 21:16
  how
• 21:16
  it's
• 21:16
  relevant
• 21:16
  because
• 21:16
  according
• 21:17
  to
• 21:17
  what
• 21:17
  rabbi
• 21:17
  is
• 21:17
  saying
• 21:18
  a
• 21:18
  couple
• 21:19
  years
• 21:19
  ago,
• 21:19
  not
• 21:19
  long
• 21:20
  ago,
• 21:20
  right.
• 21:20
  You
• 21:20
  have
• 21:20
  this
• 21:21
  secular.
• 21:21
  The
• 21:22
  yeshivas
• 21:22
  have
• 21:22
  to
• 21:23
  be
• 21:23
  controlled
• 21:23
  and
• 21:23
  have
• 21:23
  certain
• 21:24
  secular
• 21:26
  subjects.
• 21:27
  So
• 21:28
  what
• 21:28
  does
• 21:28
  that
• 21:28
  mean
• 21:29
  now?
• 21:30
  You
• 21:31
  know,
• 21:31
  Rabbi
• 21:32
  Kramer
• 21:32
  makes
• 21:32
  this
• 21:33
  point
• 21:33
  and
• 21:33
  obviously
• 21:34
  it's
• 21:34
  not
• 21:34
  talking
• 21:34
  about
• 21:35
  somebody
• 21:35
  that
• 21:37
  needs
• 21:37
  to
• 21:37
  go
• 21:37
  and
• 21:37
  get
• 21:38
  a
• 21:38
  profession.
• 21:38
  Right?
• 21:38
  Obviously
• 21:39
  if
• 21:39
  you
• 21:39
  need
• 21:39
  to
• 21:40
  get
• 21:40
  a
• 21:40

  But

  nowadays

  there

  plenty

  of

  those

  Just

  a
• 22:05
  captain,
• 22:05
  becoming
• 22:06
  a

  captain.
• 22:08
  It's
• 22:09
  interesting
• 22:09
  we're
• 22:10
  cleaning
• 22:10
  out
• 22:10
  these
• 22:10
  bookshelves
• 22:11
  and
• 22:11
  I
• 22:11
  have
• 22:11
  for
• 22:12
  some
• 22:12
  reason
• 22:13
  number
• 22:13
  of
• 22:13
  Jewish
• 22:14
  observer
• 22:15
  magazines
• 22:16
  from
• 22:17
  late
• 22:17
  1960s
• 22:19
  and
• 22:20
  one,
• 22:21
  one
• 22:21
  of
• 22:21
  them
• 22:21
  that
• 22:21
  I
• 22:21
  was
• 22:21
  reading
• 22:22
  was
• 22:22
  about
• 22:23
  the
• 22:23
  challenges
• 22:23
  of
• 22:24
  college
• 22:25
  in
• 22:25
  the
• 22:25
  60s
• 22:26
  and
• 22:27
  somebody
• 22:28
  writing
• 22:28
  about
• 22:29
  these
• 22:29
  professors
• 22:30
  and
• 22:30
  what
• 22:30
  they
• 22:31
  are
• 22:31
  sharing
• 22:32
  during
• 22:32
  class
• 22:34
  and
• 22:34
  all
• 22:34
  of
• 22:34
  the
• 22:34
  Kfira
• 22:35
  and
• 22:35
  all
• 22:35
  the
• 22:35
  strange
• 22:37
  and
• 22:37
  all
• 22:37
  of
• 22:37
  the
• 22:39
  hefkeres
• 22:42
  writing
• 22:43
  it
• 22:43
  to
• 22:43
  the
• 22:43
  Aguda
• 22:44
  in
• 22:45
  the
• 22:45
  readership
• 22:45
  of
• 22:45
  the
• 22:45
  Agora,
• 22:46
  you
• 22:47
  know,
• 22:47
  and
• 22:47
  the
• 22:47
  dangers
• 22:48
  of
• 22:48
  it.
• 22:49
  But
• 22:49
  the
• 22:50
  point
• 22:50
  is,
• 22:51
  that's
• 22:51
  what
• 22:51
  he's
• 22:52
  talking
• 22:52
  about.
• 22:52
  If
• 22:52
  we're
• 22:52
  forced
• 22:53
  to
• 22:53
  learn
• 22:54
  their
• 22:56
  education,
• 22:58
  it's
• 22:58
  a
• 22:58
  reflection
• 22:59
  upon
• 22:59
  us.
• 22:59
  The
• 22:59
  rabbi
• 23:00
  saying
• 23:00
  zmita
• 23:00
  kne'
• 23:00
  eg
• 23:00
  gemita
• 23:01
  is
• 23:01
  that
• 23:01
  there's
• 23:01
  a
• 23:01
  problem
• 23:02
  that
• 23:02
  we're
• 23:02
  not
• 23:02
  giving
• 23:03
  the
• 23:03
  right
• 23:03
  import
• 23:06
  to
• 23:06
  our
• 23:07
  Rabbanim.
• 23:09
  And
• 23:10
  it's
• 23:11
  also.
• 23:11
  It
• 23:11
  forces
• 23:11
  us
• 23:12
  to
• 23:12
  go
• 23:12
  into
• 23:12
  exile.
• 23:14
  So
• 23:15
  going
• 23:15
  into
• 23:15
  exile
• 23:16
  means,
• 23:17
  you
• 23:17
  know,
• 23:17
  and
• 23:17
  perhaps
• 23:17
  it's
• 23:18
  good.
• 23:18
  The
• 23:18
  Makam
• 23:18
  Torah
• 23:19
  point
• 23:19
  is
• 23:19
  that
• 23:20
  you're
• 23:20
  going
• 23:20
  into
• 23:20
  exile
• 23:21
  because
• 23:21
  you've
• 23:21
  already
• 23:21
  established
• 23:22
  a
• 23:22
  place
• 23:22
  of
• 23:24
  a
• 23:24
  mokam
• 23:25
  that's
• 23:25
  a
• 23:25
  holy
• 23:25
  mokam,
• 23:26
  and
• 23:26
  a
• 23:26
  kadosh
• 23:26
  Baruch
• 23:27
  Hu
• 23:27
  uproots
• 23:27
  you.
• 23:28
  So
• 23:29
  he's
• 23:30
  going
• 23:30
  to
• 23:30
  say,
• 23:30
  here
• 23:35
  we've
• 23:35
  already
• 23:35
  developed
• 23:36
  a
• 23:36
  society
• 23:37
  that's
• 23:38
  considered
• 23:38
  holy.
• 23:39
  And
• 23:39
  it's
• 23:39
  like
• 23:39
  we're
• 23:40
  living
• 23:40
  in
• 23:40
  a
• 23:40
  certain
• 23:40
  sense,
• 23:41
  in
• 23:41
  a
• 23:41
  makama
• 23:42
  yishuv
• 23:42
  of
• 23:45
  Eretz
• 23:46
  Yisrael.
• 23:46
  It's
• 23:47
  like,
• 23:47
  even
• 23:47
  if
• 23:48
  we're
• 23:48
  living
• 23:49
  right
• 23:49
  now,
• 23:50
  being
• 23:50
  in
• 23:50
  a
• 23:50
  base
• 23:50
  medrash,
• 23:51
  it's
• 23:51
  like
• 23:51
  we're.
• 23:52
  We're
• 23:52
  like
• 23:52
  in
• 23:53
  the
• 23:53
  embassy
• 23:54
  where
• 23:55
  it's
• 23:56
  kedusha
• 23:56
  tz'.
• 23:56
  Ares.
• 23:57
  This
• 23:57
  is
• 23:57
  kedusha
• 23:57
  tz'.
• 23:57
  Ares.
• 24:01
  So
• 24:01
  if
• 24:01
  this
• 24:01
  is
• 24:01
  kedusha,
• 24:02
  Tzarits
• 24:02
  being
• 24:02
  uprooted
• 24:03
  is
• 24:03
  going
• 24:04
  into
• 24:04
  Gauls.
• 24:06
  That's
• 24:06
  his
• 24:06
  point
• 24:06
  here.
• 24:09
  This
• 24:09
  is
• 24:09
  also,
• 24:10
  by
• 24:10
  the
• 24:10
  way,
• 24:10
  relevant
• 24:12
  to
• 24:13
  this
• 24:13
  week's
• 24:13
  Parasha
• 24:14
  and
• 24:15
  Yeshua,
• 24:17
  Right?
• 24:18
  So
• 24:19
  a
• 24:19
  couple
• 24:19
  very
• 24:19
  interesting
• 24:20
  points
• 24:21
  that
• 24:21
  are
• 24:21
  here
• 24:22
  are
• 24:24
  the
• 24:24
  posse
• 24:24
  says
• 24:25
  in
• 24:26
  Parasha's
• 24:26
  pinchas,
• 24:27
  yifket
• 24:27
  hashem
• 24:28
  eloke
• 24:28
  aruchais
• 24:29
  leholbasar
• 24:29
  ish
• 24:30
  Allah.
• 24:31
  So
• 24:31
  Moshe
• 24:31
  Rabbeinu
• 24:33
  says,
• 24:33
  you
• 24:34
  know,
• 24:34
  after
• 24:34
  the
• 24:35
  story
• 24:35
  of
• 24:35
  Benoistad,
• 24:37
  he's
• 24:37
  inspired,
• 24:38
  like
• 24:38
  Rashi
• 24:39
  quotes
• 24:39
  the
• 24:39
  medras
• 24:40
  and
• 24:40
  says,
• 24:40
  okay,
• 24:41
  now
• 24:42
  higiya
• 24:43
  sha
• 24:43
  sh'
• 24:43
  atvat
• 24:44
  sark
• 24:44
  sarkhish
• 24:45
  Yerushu
• 24:45
  bana
• 24:46
  esgidulasi.
• 24:47
  Now
• 24:47
  it's
• 24:47
  the
• 24:47
  time
• 24:47
  for
• 24:47
  my
• 24:48
  children
• 24:48
  to
• 24:49
  take
• 24:49
  their
• 24:49
  Yerusha
• 24:50
  of
• 24:50
  my
• 24:50
  godless,
• 24:51
  my
• 24:51
  greatness.
• 24:54
  What's
• 24:54
  going
• 24:55
  to
• 24:55
  be?
• 24:55
  Meaning
• 24:55
  what's
• 24:55
  going
• 24:55
  to
• 24:56
  my
• 24:56
  children
• 24:56
  should
• 24:56
  be.
• 24:57
  I
• 24:57
  should
• 24:57
  have
• 24:57
  these
• 24:58
  them
• 24:58
  as
• 24:58
  successors.
• 24:59
  Hakodesh
• 24:59
  Baruch
• 24:59
  Hu
• 25:00
  says,
• 25:00
  no
• 25:01
  kadaihu
• 25:01
  Yeshua.
• 25:03
  He
• 25:03
  says,
• 25:03
  little
• 25:03
  kath
• 25:04
  o
• 25:04
  sa
• 25:04
  bemachshava
• 25:05
  lefanai
• 25:06
  Hakadosh
• 25:06
  Baruch
• 25:07
  says,
• 25:07
  that's
• 25:07
  not
• 25:07
  what
• 25:07
  I'm
• 25:07
  thinking.
• 25:08
  We're
• 25:08
  not
• 25:08
  on
• 25:08
  the
• 25:08
  same
• 25:08
  page.
• 25:08
  Moshe
• 25:09
  Rabbeinu
• 25:09
  he
• 25:10
  says,
• 25:15
  right,
• 25:21
  so
• 25:21
  the
• 25:21
  one
• 25:21
  who's
• 25:21
  going
• 25:21
  to
• 25:22
  reap
• 25:22
  the
• 25:22
  fruit
• 25:22
  is
• 25:22
  the
• 25:22
  one
• 25:22
  who
• 25:22
  worked
• 25:23
  at
• 25:23
  it.
• 25:23
  That's
• 25:23
  Yeshua,
• 25:24
  who
• 25:24
  is
• 25:24
  Loim
• 25:25
  Mashmitaycha.
• 25:25
  Ayala
• 25:27
  Rashi
• 25:27
  also
• 25:28
  quotes
• 25:29
  in
• 25:29
  here
• 25:30
  that
• 25:30
  he
• 25:30
  was
• 25:31
  Messiah
• 25:31
  there
• 25:31
  of
• 25:31
  the
• 25:31
  Safsalim
• 25:33
  Agav.
• 25:35
  Rabbi
• 25:35
  Shloime
• 25:35
  Yadruk
• 25:36
  makes
• 25:36
  this
• 25:36
  point.
• 25:36
  It's
• 25:37
  a
• 25:37
  beautiful
• 25:37
  point.
• 25:39
  It
• 25:39
  could
• 25:39
  be
• 25:39
  said
• 25:40
  elsewhere
• 25:40
  by
• 25:41
  others,
• 25:41
  but
• 25:41
  he
• 25:42
  asks
• 25:42
  the
• 25:42
  question,
• 25:43
  so
• 25:43
  Yeshua,
• 25:44
  because
• 25:44
  he
• 25:45
  set
• 25:45
  up
• 25:45
  the
• 25:45
  chairs
• 25:45
  and
• 25:45
  the
• 25:46
  tables
• 25:46
  and
• 25:46
  the
• 25:46
  base
• 25:46
  Medrash,
• 25:47
  that's
• 25:47
  why
• 25:47
  you
• 25:47
  should
• 25:47
  be
• 25:47
  the
• 25:47
  Manik,
• 25:48
  meaning
• 25:49
  what
• 25:50
  are
• 25:50
  the
• 25:50
  other
• 25:50
  qualities
• 25:50
  of
• 25:51
  being
• 25:51
  a
• 25:51
  monik?
• 25:52
  He
• 25:52
  never
• 25:52
  left
• 25:52
  Moshe's
• 25:53
  tent.
• 25:53
  He
• 25:53
  never
• 25:54
  left
• 25:54
  Moshe's
• 25:54
  tent.
• 25:54
  Okay,
• 25:55
  so
• 25:55
  there
• 25:55
  are
• 25:55
  two
• 25:55
  things,
• 25:55
  right?
• 25:56
  Not
• 25:56
  leaving
• 25:57
  Moshe's
• 25:57
  tent
• 25:58
  is
• 25:58
  one
• 25:58
  thing,
• 25:59
  but
• 25:59
  then
• 25:59
  also
• 25:59
  the
• 26:00
  fact
• 26:00
  that
• 26:00
  he
• 26:01
  didn't,
• 26:02
  you
• 26:02
  know,
• 26:03
  they
• 26:03
  set
• 26:03
  up
• 26:04
  the.
• 26:04
  The
• 26:05
  chairs
• 26:05
  and
• 26:05
  the
• 26:05
  tables.
• 26:06
  Okay,
• 26:07
  so
• 26:07
  you're
• 26:07
  right.
• 26:07
  Lomashmita
• 26:08
  Chachael
• 26:09
  is
• 26:09
  obviously
• 26:09
  a
• 26:09
  point
• 26:09
  where
• 26:10
  he
• 26:10
  was
• 26:11
  he
• 26:11
  total
• 26:12
  trust
• 26:12
  in
• 26:12
  Moishe
• 26:12
  Rabbeinu
• 26:13
  and
• 26:13
  Muna
• 26:14
  in
• 26:15
  Maisha
• 26:15
  Rabbeinu
• 26:15
  Vitairasa
• 26:16
  Emuna
• 26:16
  Sahamima.
• 26:17
  To
• 26:17
  the
• 26:17
  point
• 26:18
  we're
• 26:18
  saying
• 26:18
  here,
• 26:20
  the
• 26:20
  other
• 26:20
  point
• 26:21
  of
• 26:21
  why
• 26:21
  he's
• 26:21
  a
• 26:21
  maneg
• 26:22
  is
• 26:23
  because
• 26:23
  he
• 26:23
  was
• 26:23
  Masada
• 26:24
  the
• 26:24
  Saf
• 26:24
  Salim.
• 26:25
  So
• 26:26
  Rabbi
• 26:27
  shomeiy
• 26:27
  says
• 26:28
  here,
• 26:30
  the
• 26:30
  point
• 26:30
  is
• 26:31
  that
• 26:32
  his
• 26:32
  concern
• 26:33
  was
• 26:34
  that
• 26:34
  it's
• 26:35
  not
• 26:35
  just
• 26:35
  that
• 26:35
  my
• 26:36
  learning,
• 26:36
  that
• 26:36
  I
• 26:36
  should
• 26:36
  be
• 26:37
  able
• 26:37
  to
• 26:37
  learn,
• 26:37
  but
• 26:37
  I
• 26:37
  have
• 26:38
  to
• 26:38
  make
• 26:38
  sure
• 26:38
  that
• 26:38
  everyone
• 26:39
  else
• 26:39
  also
• 26:40
  has
• 26:40
  the
• 26:40
  ability
• 26:40
  to
• 26:41
  learn.
• 26:42
  That's
• 26:42
  a
• 26:43
  true
• 26:43
  manheg.
• 26:45
  If
• 26:45
  somebody
• 26:46
  is
• 26:46
  willing
• 26:46
  to
• 26:47
  forego
• 26:47
  their
• 26:47
  own
• 26:48
  comfort
• 26:48
  so
• 26:49
  that
• 26:49
  other
• 26:49
  people
• 26:49
  should
• 26:49
  be
• 26:50
  able
• 26:50
  to
• 26:50
  have
• 26:50
  the
• 26:50
  same
• 26:51
  thing,
• 26:51
  that
• 26:51
  he
• 26:51
  has
• 26:52
  his
• 26:52
  death.
• 26:53
  Somebody
• 26:53
  who
• 26:53
  is
• 26:54
  royally
• 26:54
  Osman
• 26:55
  and
• 26:55
  Yisrael.
• 26:58
  He
• 26:58
  makes
• 26:58
  the
• 26:58
  point
• 26:59
  to
• 26:59
  say
• 26:59
  that
• 27:00
  the
• 27:00
  Pshat
• 27:01
  in
• 27:01
  Avraham
• 27:02
  Avinu
• 27:02
  or
• 27:02
  you
• 27:03
  could
• 27:03
  say
• 27:03
  Saray
• 27:03
  Mainu.
• 27:04
  When
• 27:04
  Akadosh
• 27:05
  Baruch
• 27:05
  Hu,
• 27:05
  when
• 27:06
  Hakadosh
• 27:06
  Baruch
• 27:06
  Hu
• 27:07
  gave
• 27:07
  them
• 27:07
  Yitzchak,
• 27:08
  right?
• 27:08
  So
• 27:08
  she
• 27:08
  says
• 27:11
  everyone's
• 27:11
  going
• 27:11
  to
• 27:11
  make
• 27:11
  fun.
• 27:11
  They're
• 27:12
  going
• 27:12
  to.
• 27:12
  They're
• 27:12
  going
• 27:12
  to
• 27:12
  laugh
• 27:13
  because
• 27:14
  this
• 27:14
  is
• 27:14
  like
• 27:15
  so
• 27:15
  supernatural.
• 27:17
  But
• 27:17
  many
• 27:18
  other
• 27:18
  people
• 27:18
  had
• 27:18
  children
• 27:19
  at
• 27:19
  the
• 27:19
  time,
• 27:19
  right?
• 27:20
  Akadosh
• 27:20
  Baruch
• 27:20
  Hu
• 27:20
  made
• 27:21
  it
• 27:21
  so
• 27:21
  that.
• 27:22
  What
• 27:22
  does
• 27:22
  that
• 27:22
  do
• 27:22
  with
• 27:22
  anything?
• 27:23
  The
• 27:23
  fact
• 27:23
  that
• 27:24
  she's
• 27:24
  Zecha
• 27:24
  to
• 27:24
  a
• 27:24
  miracle
• 27:25
  because
• 27:25
  Hakadosh
• 27:26
  Baruch
• 27:26
  Hun,
• 27:26
  so
• 27:26
  everyone
• 27:27
  else
• 27:27
  has
• 27:27
  to
• 27:28
  also
• 27:28
  have
• 27:28
  it.
• 27:30
  So
• 27:30
  he
• 27:30
  says,
• 27:31
  because
• 27:31
  the
• 27:31
  point
• 27:31
  is,
• 27:31
  is
• 27:32
  that
• 27:32
  imagine
• 27:32
  the
• 27:33
  pain
• 27:33
  of
• 27:34
  Avram
• 27:34
  and
• 27:34
  Sarah.
• 27:35
  And
• 27:35
  if
• 27:35
  they're
• 27:35
  the
• 27:35
  only
• 27:36
  ones
• 27:36
  that
• 27:36
  are
• 27:36
  celebrating
• 27:37
  their
• 27:37
  great
• 27:37
  success,
• 27:39
  it's
• 27:39
  going
• 27:39
  to
• 27:39
  bother
• 27:40
  them
• 27:40
  that
• 27:40
  no
• 27:40
  One
• 27:40
  else
• 27:41
  has
• 27:41
  the
• 27:41
  same
• 27:41
  kind
• 27:41
  of
• 27:43
  simcha.
• 27:45
  So
• 27:46
  that's
• 27:46
  the
• 27:46
  point
• 27:46
  that
• 27:46
  he
• 27:46
  makes
• 27:47
  here
• 27:47
  about
• 27:47
  what
• 27:48
  it
• 27:48
  means
• 27:48
  to
• 27:48
  be
• 27:48
  Roy,
• 27:49
  to
• 27:49
  be
• 27:49
  a
• 27:49
  manig.
• 27:50
  But
• 27:50
  that's
• 27:51
  this
• 27:51
  yif
• 27:51
  gad
• 27:52
  hashem
• 27:52
  eloke
• 27:52
  aruche.
• 27:53
  So
• 27:53
  he
• 27:53
  says
• 27:53
  you
• 27:54
  have
• 27:54
  to
• 27:54
  make
• 27:54
  sure
• 27:54
  you
• 27:54
  pick
• 27:55
  the
• 27:55
  right
• 27:55
  kind
• 27:55
  of
• 27:55
  moneg.
• 27:56
  And
• 27:56
  even
• 27:56
  Moishe
• 27:57
  Rabbeinu
• 27:57
  obviously
• 27:58
  was
• 27:58
  unclear
• 27:58
  about
• 27:58
  this,
• 27:59
  that
• 28:00
  Yeshua
• 28:00
  had
• 28:00
  the
• 28:01
  ability
• 28:01
  to
• 28:01
  do
• 28:01
  it.
• 28:02
  Meaning
• 28:03
  Moishe
• 28:03
  Beinu
• 28:04
  was
• 28:05
  nishmas
• 28:06
  Yisroel.
• 28:06
  Everyone
• 28:06
  was
• 28:07
  subsumed
• 28:07
  in
• 28:07
  his
• 28:07
  neshama.
• 28:08
  He
• 28:08
  could
• 28:08
  relate
• 28:08
  to
• 28:08
  everybody.
• 28:09
  He
• 28:09
  didn't
• 28:09
  know
• 28:10
  if
• 28:10
  Yeshua
• 28:10
  could.
• 28:10
  And
• 28:11
  he
• 28:11
  had
• 28:11
  to
• 28:11
  convey
• 28:11
  that
• 28:12
  through
• 28:12
  smicha
• 28:13
  on
• 28:13
  Yeshua.
• 28:15
  Okay,
• 28:18
  let's
• 28:18
  continue
• 28:18
  with
• 28:18
  Rabbi.
• 28:23
  Okay,
• 28:23
  Kiasmicha
• 28:24
  shesoimchan
• 28:25
  es
• 28:26
  harav
• 28:26
  vahaksav.
• 28:27
  He's
• 28:28
  going
• 28:28
  to
• 28:28
  talk
• 28:28
  about
• 28:28
  this.
• 28:30
  It's
• 28:31
  the
• 28:31
  same.
• 28:31
  The
• 28:32
  authority
• 28:32
  that
• 28:32
  you
• 28:33
  confer
• 28:33
  on
• 28:34
  the.
• 28:34
  On
• 28:34
  the
• 28:35
  Rebbe,
• 28:36
  both
• 28:37
  through
• 28:37
  smicha,
• 28:38
  through
• 28:39
  physical
• 28:40
  smicha,
• 28:40
  right?
• 28:41
  Being
• 28:41
  samech
• 28:41
  on
• 28:42
  them
• 28:42
  and
• 28:43
  Ksav.
• 28:44
  And
• 28:44
  the
• 28:44
  writing
• 28:45
  is
• 28:45
  the
• 28:45
  same.
• 28:45
  He's
• 28:46
  going
• 28:46
  to
• 28:46
  be
• 28:47
  madama.
• 28:47
  These
• 28:48
  things
• 28:48
  of
• 28:48
  writing
• 28:49
  and
• 28:50
  the
• 28:51
  physical
• 28:54
  is
• 28:54
  done
• 28:54
  through
• 28:55
  hands.
• 29:05
  So
• 29:05
  Yeshua
• 29:06
  became
• 29:06
  filled
• 29:07
  with
• 29:07
  chachma
• 29:07
  because
• 29:07
  Moishe
• 29:08
  Rabbeinu
• 29:08
  gave
• 29:08
  him
• 29:08
  the
• 29:09
  chachma.
• 29:09
  It
• 29:10
  seems
• 29:10
  to
• 29:10
  imply
• 29:10
  he
• 29:10
  didn't
• 29:11
  have
• 29:11
  the
• 29:11
  chachma
• 29:11
  before.
• 29:12
  To
• 29:12
  whatever
• 29:12
  degree
• 29:13
  that
• 29:14
  he
• 29:14
  had,
• 29:14
  it
• 29:14
  wasn't
• 29:14
  the
• 29:15
  same.
• 29:22
  Now,
• 29:22
  chachma
• 29:23
  is
• 29:23
  also
• 29:24
  referred
• 29:25
  to.
• 29:25
  It's
• 29:25
  an
• 29:25
  aspect
• 29:26
  of
• 29:26
  writing,
• 29:28
  right?
• 29:29
  The
• 29:29
  hand
• 29:30
  writes
• 29:31
  kiyaksav
• 29:33
  hu
• 29:33
  gam
• 29:33
  keim
• 29:34
  ib'
• 29:34
  china.
• 29:37
  Because
• 29:37
  writing,
• 29:38
  meaning
• 29:38
  the
• 29:39
  letters
• 29:39
  are
• 29:40
  chachmah
• 29:40
  themselves,
• 29:41
  like
• 29:42
  we
• 29:42
  know.
• 29:42
  Meaning
• 29:43
  in
• 29:43
  the
• 29:43
  letter
• 29:44
  itself
• 29:44
  is
• 29:44
  great
• 29:45
  chachma,
• 29:45
  like
• 29:46
  we've
• 29:46
  said
• 29:46
  before
• 29:47
  from
• 29:47
  the
• 29:47
  Rebbe,
• 29:47
  right?
• 29:48
  The
• 29:48
  Aleph
• 29:49
  has
• 29:50
  the
• 29:50
  yud
• 29:50
  and
• 29:51
  the
• 29:51
  yud
• 29:51
  and
• 29:51
  the
• 29:51
  vava
• 29:52
  kiber,
• 29:53
  the
• 29:53
  yud,
• 29:53
  elah,
• 29:54
  the
• 29:54
  yud,
• 29:54
  tata,
• 29:55
  chochma,
• 29:56
  elah,
• 29:56
  chachma,
• 29:57
  tata.
• 29:57
  And
• 29:58
  in
• 29:58
  between
• 29:58
  is
• 29:58
  the
• 29:59
  vava
• 29:59
  kibor,
• 30:00
  right?
• 30:01
  So
• 30:02
  in
• 30:02
  and
• 30:02
  of
• 30:02
  itself,
• 30:02
  the
• 30:02
  Ksav
• 30:04
  of
• 30:04
  the
• 30:05
  letters
• 30:05
  has
• 30:06
  chochma
• 30:06
  itself,
• 30:08
  behem
• 30:08
  nivru,
• 30:09
  kalamas.
• 30:10
  And
• 30:10
  through
• 30:10
  the
• 30:10
  Ksav,
• 30:11
  through
• 30:11
  the
• 30:11
  Iseans
• 30:12
  and
• 30:13
  the
• 30:13
  writing,
• 30:13
  Hakodesh
• 30:14
  baruch
• 30:14
  hu
• 30:14
  created
• 30:14
  the
• 30:15
  world
• 30:18
  through
• 30:19
  the
• 30:19
  words
• 30:20
  of
• 30:20
  God.
• 30:21
  The
• 30:22
  world
• 30:22
  was
• 30:22
  created,
• 30:23
  the
• 30:23
  heavens
• 30:24
  were
• 30:24
  created.
• 30:28
  And
• 30:28
  it
• 30:28
  says
• 30:28
  that
• 30:28
  they
• 30:28
  were
• 30:28
  created
• 30:29
  with
• 30:29
  chochma.
• 30:30
  So
• 30:31
  the
• 30:31
  dvar
• 30:32
  hashem,
• 30:32
  which
• 30:32
  was
• 30:32
  the
• 30:32
  Ksav
• 30:34
  was
• 30:34
  what
• 30:35
  created
• 30:35
  the
• 30:35
  world.
• 30:41
  Because
• 30:41
  in
• 30:41
  each
• 30:42
  letter
• 30:43
  there's
• 30:43
  amazing
• 30:44
  wisdom
• 30:50
  made
• 30:50
  it
• 30:50
  that
• 30:51
  a
• 30:51

  Dalit

  to

  chachma
• 30:57
  of

  like

  The

  Gemara.
• 30:59
  And
• 30:59
  Baruch
• 30:59
  Hu
• 30:59
  says,
• 31:00
  right,
• 31:00
  the
• 31:01
  ghemel
• 31:01
  is
• 31:01
  the
• 31:01
  one
• 31:02
  who's
• 31:02
  chasing,
• 31:03
  right?
• 31:04
  The
• 31:04
  poor
• 31:04
  person
• 31:05
  who
• 31:06
  has

  So
• 31:09
  in
• 31:09
  other
• 31:09
  words,
• 31:10
  in

  and

  Just

  You

  the

  wisdom
• 31:16
  of
• 31:16
  what
• 31:16
  needs
• 31:17
  to
• 31:17
  happen.
• 31:23
  And
• 31:23
  through
• 31:23
  that,
• 31:23
  the
• 31:23
  world
• 31:24
  is
• 31:24
  created
• 31:24
  through

  that

  picture.
• 31:29
  And
• 31:29
  therefore
• 31:30
  sheish
• 31:30
  baisailam,
• 31:31
  you
• 31:31
  know,
• 31:32
  you

  follow
• 31:32
  that
• 31:33
  practice.
• 31:33
  That's
• 31:33
  the
• 31:33
  minig
• 31:34
  of
• 31:34
  the
• 31:34
  practice,
• 31:36
  what's
• 31:36
  considered
• 31:37
  the
• 31:37
  right
• 31:37
  kind
• 31:38
  of
• 31:38
  behavior
• 31:39
  because

  of

• 31:45
  And
• 31:45
  the
• 31:45
  same
• 31:46
  is
• 31:46
  true
• 31:47
  for
• 31:47
  other

  worlds,
• 31:48
  each

  one

  with

  a

  different

  and

  a

  different

• 31:52
  Okay?
• 31:52
  We
• 31:52
  have
• 31:53
  to
• 31:53
  understand
• 31:53
  what
• 31:54
  that
• 31:54
  means
• 31:57
  through
• 31:58
  a
• 31:58
  picture
• 31:58
  of
• 31:58
  a
• 31:58
  different
• 32:00
  letter,
• 32:03
  because
• 32:03
  that's
• 32:04
  the
• 32:04
  gaze
• 32:04
  of
• 32:04
  hakadosh
• 32:05
  Baruch,
• 32:07
  you
• 32:07
  know,
• 32:08
  you
• 32:08
  want
• 32:08
  to
• 32:08
  answer
• 32:08
  why
• 32:09
  a
• 32:09
  gimel
• 32:09
  is
• 32:09
  a
• 32:09
  gimel,
• 32:10
  that's
• 32:10
  the
• 32:11
  chachma
• 32:11
  of
• 32:11
  hakadash
• 32:11
  Baruch
• 32:12
  Hu.
• 32:13
  But
• 32:13
  the
• 32:14
  fact
• 32:14
  that
• 32:14
  a
• 32:14
  gimel
• 32:14
  is
• 32:15
  a
• 32:15
  gimel
• 32:15
  and
• 32:15
  it's
• 32:15
  a
• 32:15
  gaimel
• 32:16
  dal
• 32:17
  is
• 32:17
  what
• 32:18
  we
• 32:18
  learn
• 32:18
  is
• 32:20
  his
• 32:20
  chachma.
• 32:24
  I
• 32:24
  like
• 32:25
  the
• 32:25
  bass
• 32:26
  abrasions.
• 32:27
  Yeah,
• 32:28
  it's
• 32:28
  open
• 32:28
  that
• 32:29
  way.
• 32:30
  So
• 32:31
  it's
• 32:31
  telling
• 32:31
  you
• 32:32
  that,
• 32:32
  you
• 32:33
  know,
• 32:33
  it's
• 32:33
  like
• 32:34
  a.
• 32:34
  What
• 32:34
  do
• 32:34
  you
• 32:34
  call
• 32:34
  it?
• 32:35
  A
• 32:35
  bracket.
• 32:35
  The
• 32:35
  base
• 32:36
  is
• 32:36
  like
• 32:36
  a
• 32:36
  bracket.
• 32:37
  So
• 32:37
  whatever
• 32:37
  came
• 32:38
  before
• 32:38
  that,
• 32:38
  it's
• 32:39
  none
• 32:39
  of
• 32:39
  your
• 32:39
  business.
• 32:42
  Very

  Very

  good.
• 32:46
  Yeah,
• 32:48
  the
• 32:49
  ches,
• 32:49
  right?
• 32:49
  Like
• 32:50
  we
• 32:50
  say,
• 32:50
  the
• 32:51
  ches
• 32:51
  is.
• 32:52
  Excuse

  the
• 32:53
  hey,

  right?
• 32:53
  Bihi
• 32:54
  baram,
• 32:54
  which
• 32:54
  is

  the
• 32:55
  hey
• 32:55
  is
• 32:56
  is
• 32:56
  that
• 32:57
  is.
• 32:57
  Is.
• 32:58
  Is
• 32:58
  the
• 32:58
  ability.
• 32:58
  It's
• 32:58
  that
• 32:59
  somebody
• 32:59
  could
• 32:59
  fall
• 32:59
  out
• 33:00
  of
• 33:00
  the
• 33:01
  world.
• 33:01
  But
• 33:01
  like
• 33:02
  the
• 33:02
  Gemara
• 33:02
  says,
• 33:02
  is
• 33:03
  that
• 33:03
  there's
• 33:03
  still
• 33:03
  a.
• 33:03
  There's

• 33:08
  Right?

  The
• 33:09
  door
• 33:09
  is
• 33:09
  always
• 33:09
  open.
• 33:11
  And
• 33:11
  I
• 33:11
  felt.
• 33:14
  And
• 33:14
  the
• 33:14
  chet
• 33:14
  closes
• 33:15
  that
• 33:15
  so
• 33:16
  that
• 33:16
  you
• 33:16
  can't
• 33:16
  access
• 33:16
  it.
• 33:17
  Right?
• 33:18
  Okay.
• 33:22
  If
• 33:22
  you
• 33:22
  have
• 33:22
  somebody
• 33:23
  who

  therefore

  his

  is

  seichel
• 35:07
  hiskil.
• 35:08
  Okay,
• 35:12
  the
• 35:12
  question,
• 35:13
  is
• 35:13
  seichel
• 35:14
  something
• 35:15
  different
• 35:15
  than
• 35:15
  chachmah
• 35:16
  or
• 35:16
  is
• 35:16
  it
• 35:17
  the
• 35:17
  same
• 35:17
  as
• 35:17
  chachmah?
• 35:20
  Common
• 35:21
  sense.
• 35:22
  Something
• 35:23
  more
• 35:23
  inherent
• 35:23
  in
• 35:24
  terms
• 35:24
  of,
• 35:24
  of
• 35:25
  sensing
• 35:26
  what's
• 35:26
  right
• 35:26
  and
• 35:26
  wrong.
• 35:27
  Meaninging
• 35:27
  what?
• 35:27
  Meaning
• 35:28
  se.
• 35:29
  Yeah,
• 35:31
  it's
• 35:31
  a
• 35:31
  good
• 35:31
  question.
• 35:33
  Seichel
• 35:34
  is
• 35:34
  Shekol,
• 35:35
  which
• 35:37
  obviously
• 35:37
  has
• 35:37
  some
• 35:38
  sort
• 35:38
  of
• 35:39
  panoramic
• 35:40
  view
• 35:40
  of
• 35:40
  Chachmah,
• 35:41
  a
• 35:42
  more
• 35:42
  all
• 35:42
  encompassing
• 35:43
  view
• 35:43
  of
• 35:44
  view
• 35:44
  of
• 35:44
  chachma
• 35:45
  than
• 35:46
  just
• 35:46
  the
• 35:47
  Chachmah
• 35:47
  itself.
• 35:47
  So
• 35:48
  we
• 35:48
  say
• 35:48
  like
• 35:49
  Chachmah,
• 35:50
  Bina
• 35:51
  das.
• 35:51
  Right.
• 35:52
  We
• 35:52
  say
• 35:53
  chachma
• 35:54
  is
• 35:55
  just
• 35:55
  the
• 35:55
  raw
• 35:55
  knowledge
• 35:56
  of
• 35:56
  something,
• 35:57
  whatever
• 35:57
  it
• 35:57
  is.
• 35:58
  However,
• 35:59
  that,
• 36:00
  that,
• 36:01
  that
• 36:01
  thing
• 36:01
  is
• 36:01
  described
• 36:02
  as
• 36:03
  pure,
• 36:04
  you
• 36:04
  know,
• 36:04
  pure
• 36:05
  understanding
• 36:05
  of

  it.
• 36:07
  Bina

  the

• 36:08
  the

  applied
• 36:09
  version
• 36:09
  of

  it.
• 36:11
  So
• 36:12
  Rashi
• 36:12
  says,
• 36:13
  right?
• 36:14
  Dhaver,
• 36:14
  Mitaik
• 36:15
  Dhaver.
• 36:15
  So,
• 36:16
  so
• 36:16
  Michal
• 36:16
  is
• 36:17
  a
• 36:17
  doctor.
• 36:17
  So
• 36:18
  if
• 36:18
  you
• 36:18
  can
• 36:18
  understand
• 36:19
  the
• 36:19
  properties
• 36:20
  of
• 36:20
  a
• 36:20
  dragonfly,
• 36:22
  right.
• 36:22
  And
• 36:23
  you
• 36:23
  can
• 36:23
  apply
• 36:25
  the,
• 36:25
  what's
• 36:25
  it
• 36:26
  called
• 36:26
  in
• 36:26
  the
• 36:26
  dragonfly?
• 36:26
  Michal,
• 36:27
  the,
• 36:28
  the
• 36:28
  resilin
• 36:28
  protein
• 36:29
  in
• 36:29
  the
• 36:29
  wings.
• 36:30
  In
• 36:30
  the
• 36:30
  wings.
• 36:30
  And
• 36:31
  you
• 36:31
  can
• 36:31
  apply
• 36:31
  that
• 36:32
  to
• 36:32
  a
• 36:32
  different
• 36:33
  discipline.
• 36:34
  Right.
• 36:34
  You
• 36:34
  use
• 36:34
  that
• 36:35
  in
• 36:35
  engineering
• 36:35
  to
• 36:36
  make,
• 36:36
  you
• 36:36
  know,
• 36:37
  materials
• 36:38
  more
• 36:38
  flexible.
• 36:38
  Right.
• 36:39
  So
• 36:39
  you
• 36:39
  have,
• 36:39
  you
• 36:39
  have
• 36:40
  taken
• 36:40
  maybe
• 36:40
  Dover
• 36:41
  mitoche
• 36:41
  duver.
• 36:42
  So
• 36:42
  chachma
• 36:43
  of
• 36:43
  the
• 36:43
  dragonfly
• 36:45
  and
• 36:45
  its
• 36:45
  resin
• 36:46
  protein
• 36:47
  is
• 36:48
  the
• 36:48
  chachma.
• 36:49
  The
• 36:49
  binah
• 36:49
  is
• 36:50
  you've
• 36:50
  now
• 36:50
  applied
• 36:51
  it
• 36:51
  to
• 36:52
  another
• 36:52
  discipline.
• 36:53
  Right.
• 36:54
  And
• 36:54
  then
• 36:54
  DAS
• 36:55
  is
• 36:55
  that
• 36:55
  once
• 36:56
  it's
• 36:56
  applied,
• 36:57
  DAS
• 36:57
  means
• 36:58
  it
• 36:58
  becomes
• 36:58
  one,
• 36:59
  meaning
• 37:00
  you
• 37:00
  become
• 37:00
  integrated
• 37:01
  with
• 37:01
  that
• 37:01
  DAS.
• 37:02
  It's
• 37:02
  part
• 37:03
  of
• 37:03
  you.
• 37:03
  It's
• 37:03
  to
• 37:04
  you,
• 37:04
  it's
• 37:04
  EMEs.
• 37:05
  It's
• 37:05
  totally
• 37:05
  EMEs.
• 37:06
  And
• 37:06
  you
• 37:07
  act
• 37:07
  upon
• 37:08
  it.
• 37:08
  That
• 37:08
  DAS
• 37:09
  is
• 37:09
  the,
• 37:09
  you
• 37:09
  understand
• 37:10
  its
• 37:10
  hyper
• 37:11
  connectability
• 37:12
  to
• 37:12
  everything.
• 37:13
  So
• 37:13
  chachma
• 37:14
  is
• 37:14
  what
• 37:14
  you
• 37:14
  learn
• 37:14
  from
• 37:14
  other
• 37:15
  people.
• 37:16
  Bina
• 37:17
  is
• 37:17
  you
• 37:17
  processing
• 37:18
  it
• 37:18
  so
• 37:18
  you
• 37:18
  can
• 37:18
  apply
• 37:19
  it.
• 37:19
  And
• 37:20
  then
• 37:20
  DAS
• 37:21
  is
• 37:21
  where
• 37:21
  you
• 37:21
  understand
• 37:22
  how
• 37:22
  everything
• 37:23
  is
• 37:23
  all
• 37:23
  connected
• 37:23
  together
• 37:24
  to
• 37:24
  do
• 37:24
  that
• 37:24
  principle,
• 37:25
  right?
• 37:27
  Yes.
• 37:29
  And
• 37:30
  you
• 37:30
  know,
• 37:31
  this
• 37:32
  is
• 37:32
  the
• 37:32
  way
• 37:32
  That,
• 37:33
  I
• 37:33
  mean,
• 37:34
  in
• 37:34
  the
• 37:34
  balitanya
• 37:35
  and
• 37:35
  in,
• 37:36
  I
• 37:36
  think
• 37:36
  in
• 37:36
  other
• 37:37
  sfarm
• 37:37
  where
• 37:37
  they
• 37:37
  talk
• 37:38
  about
• 37:38
  Av,
• 37:38
  Aim
• 37:39
  and
• 37:39
  ben,
• 37:41
  right?
• 37:41
  Chochma
• 37:42
  is
• 37:42
  the
• 37:42
  abba
• 37:43
  and
• 37:44
  bino
• 37:44
  is
• 37:44
  the
• 37:45
  ima
• 37:46
  and
• 37:47
  das
• 37:47
  is
• 37:48
  the
• 37:48
  child,
• 37:48
  right?
• 37:49
  Vayeda
• 37:49
  adam
• 37:49
  es
• 37:50
  chava
• 37:50
  is
• 37:50
  he
• 37:51
  had
• 37:51
  a
• 37:51
  child,
• 37:51
  meaning
• 37:52
  the
• 37:53
  abba
• 37:53
  is
• 37:53
  the
• 37:53
  chochma.
• 37:54
  That's
• 37:54
  why
• 37:54
  men
• 37:55
  are
• 37:55
  dark
• 37:55
  and
• 37:55
  lichvaish.
• 37:56
  Men
• 37:57
  seek
• 37:57
  the
• 37:57
  wisdom,
• 37:58
  but
• 37:58
  the
• 37:59
  woman,
• 37:59
  it
• 37:59
  receives,
• 38:00
  right?
• 38:01
  The
• 38:01
  female
• 38:01
  receives
• 38:02
  the
• 38:02
  chochma,
• 38:03
  and
• 38:03
  she
• 38:03
  processes
• 38:04
  the
• 38:04
  chachmah,
• 38:05
  and
• 38:05
  she
• 38:05
  applies
• 38:05
  the
• 38:06
  chachma.
• 38:06
  It
• 38:06
  grows
• 38:07
  in
• 38:07
  her,
• 38:08
  and
• 38:08
  then
• 38:08
  ultimately
• 38:08
  they
• 38:09
  produce
• 38:09
  a
• 38:09
  child,
• 38:09
  which
• 38:10
  is
• 38:10
  one,
• 38:10
  which
• 38:10
  is
• 38:10
  the
• 38:10
  genetics
• 38:11
  of
• 38:11
  them
• 38:11
  both.
• 38:12
  And,
• 38:14
  you
• 38:15
  know,
• 38:15
  that
• 38:15
  could
• 38:15
  produce
• 38:16
  other
• 38:16
  things,
• 38:16
  etc.
• 38:17
  But
• 38:17
  the
• 38:18
  point
• 38:18
  is
• 38:18
  that
• 38:18
  it's
• 38:18
  the
• 38:19
  integrated.
• 38:20
  It's
• 38:20
  the
• 38:20
  representation
• 38:21
  of
• 38:21
  the
• 38:21
  integrated
• 38:22
  knowledge.
• 38:23
  So
• 38:23
  you
• 38:23
  become
• 38:23
  one
• 38:24
  with
• 38:25
  that.
• 38:26
  But
• 38:27
  seicho,
• 38:27
  which
• 38:28
  is
• 38:28
  a
• 38:29
  different
• 38:29
  term,
• 38:29
  is
• 38:30
  shekol.
• 38:31
  Okay,
• 38:31
  so
• 38:31
  I
• 38:31
  don't
• 38:31
  know
• 38:32
  if
• 38:32
  we're
• 38:32
  answering
• 38:32
  it
• 38:32
  here,
• 38:32
  but
• 38:33
  we
• 38:33
  have
• 38:33
  to
• 38:34
  figure
• 38:34
  out
• 38:34
  a
• 38:34
  lailah.
• 38:35
  Haskil
• 38:35
  is
• 38:35
  for
• 38:35
  me
• 38:36
  to
• 38:36
  figure
• 38:36
  out.
• 38:36
  Is
• 38:37
  it
• 38:37
  a
• 38:37
  verb
• 38:38
  of
• 38:39
  the
• 38:39
  process
• 38:39
  of
• 38:39
  figuring
• 38:40
  it
• 38:40
  out?
• 38:41
  Is
• 38:41
  it.
• 38:41
  Is
• 38:41
  it?
• 38:42
  Does
• 38:42
  it
• 38:42
  surround?
• 38:43
  It
• 38:43
  sounds
• 38:44
  more
• 38:44
  like
• 38:44
  a
• 38:44
  noun.
• 38:45
  Who's
• 38:45
  from
• 38:45
  a
• 38:45
  haskil?
• 38:46
  No,
• 38:47
  well,
• 38:48
  colloquially
• 38:48
  we
• 38:48
  say,
• 38:49
  you
• 38:49
  know,
• 38:49
  seichel.
• 38:50
  You
• 38:50
  know,
• 38:50
  bar
• 38:50
  seichel
• 38:51
  or
• 38:51
  not.
• 38:51
  That's
• 38:52
  how
• 38:52
  we
• 38:52
  colloquially
• 38:53
  refer
• 38:53
  to
• 38:53
  somebody
• 38:54
  who's
• 38:54
  a
• 38:54
  smart
• 38:54
  guy.
• 38:55
  But
• 38:55
  does
• 38:56
  that
• 38:56
  mean
• 38:57
  in
• 38:57
  the
• 38:57
  context
• 38:58
  of
• 38:58
  the
• 38:58
  posse?
• 38:58
  Here
• 38:58
  he's
• 38:59
  quoting
• 38:59
  a
• 38:59
  posse
• 38:59
  in

  tivre

  olay

  hiskil.
• 39:05
  Let's
• 39:05
  see.
• 39:06
  Okay.
• 39:07
  Shayede
• 39:08
  hasechel
• 39:08
  shem
• 39:08
  kabal
• 39:09
  miyadashem

  Akadosh
• 39:11
  baruch
• 39:12
  hu
• 39:12
  zebachina.
• 39:17
  So
• 39:18
  in
• 39:18
  other
• 39:18
  words,
• 39:18
  the
• 39:19
  process
• 39:19
  of
• 39:19
  smicha
• 39:20
  is
• 39:20
  that

  the.
• 39:22
  The

  person
• 39:23
  receives
• 39:23
  this
• 39:23
  mikha,
• 39:24
  but
• 39:24
  then
• 39:24
  they
• 39:24
  get
• 39:25
  a
• 39:25
  shefa
• 39:25
  of

  chachma
• 39:26
  from

  hakadosh
• 39:26
  baruch
• 39:26
  hu.
• 39:28
  It's
• 39:28
  like
• 39:28
  they
• 39:28
  receive.
• 39:29
  This
• 39:35
  is
• 39:35
  a
• 39:35
  very
• 39:35
  interesting
• 39:36
  posse
• 39:36
  because
• 39:36
  this
• 39:36
  brings
• 39:37
  everything
• 39:37
  together.
• 39:38
  Both
• 39:38
  the

  smicha
• 39:39
  and
• 39:39
  the

  Yad
• 39:41
  and
• 39:41
  meisha
• 39:42
  rabbeinu,
• 39:43
  this
• 39:44
  tanakhaleima
• 39:45
  ruach
• 39:45
  and
• 39:45
  heyma
• 39:46
  bakshuvim
• 39:47
  is
• 39:47
  referring

  to

  shayedei

  shanis

  bechuaz.
• 39:51
  There
• 39:51
  were
• 39:52
  the
• 39:52
  70
• 39:52
  elders,
• 39:53
  right?
• 39:53
  The
• 39:53
  shivim
• 39:54
  zakanim
• 39:54
  that
• 39:54
  were
• 39:54
  chosen
• 39:55
  by
• 39:58
  maisha
• 39:59
  rabbeinu,
• 40:00
  the

  kimlu
• 40:00
  haruach
• 40:01
  chachma,

  they

  received

  chochma.
• 40:03
  What?
• 40:04
  Oh,
• 40:04
  so,

  yeah,

  brought

  the

  So

  the

  goiral
• 40:15
  that

  you're

  six
• 40:21
  people.
• 40:21
  Right?

  You

  needed
• 40:22
  to

  have.
• 40:23
  You

  needed

  to

  if

  do

  the

  math
• 40:27
  right,
• 40:28
  12
• 40:29
  times
• 40:29
  6
• 40:30
  is
• 40:31
  what,
• 40:31
  72.
• 40:32
  So
• 40:33
  you
• 40:33
  have
• 40:33
  two
• 40:33
  extra.
• 40:35
  So
• 40:35
  the
• 40:35
  challenge
• 40:36
  was
• 40:36
  in
• 40:36
  terms
• 40:36
  of
• 40:36
  the
• 40:36
  guy
• 40:37
  rail
• 40:37
  is
• 40:37
  who's
• 40:38
  going
• 40:38
  to
• 40:38
  knock
• 40:39
  out
• 40:39
  the
• 40:39
  extra
• 40:39
  two.
• 40:40
  So
• 40:40
  there
• 40:40
  were
• 40:41
  shaven
• 40:41
  is
• 40:41
  only
• 40:41
  going.
• 40:41
  To
• 40:42
  get
• 40:42
  five
• 40:42
  from
• 40:42
  it,
• 40:42
  as
• 40:43
  opposed
• 40:43
  to
• 40:43
  six.
• 40:44
  Right.
• 40:45
  So
• 40:45
  there
• 40:45
  were
• 40:45
  seven.
• 40:47
  So
• 40:47
  there
• 40:47
  were
• 40:47
  six.
• 40:49
  So
• 40:49
  there
• 40:50
  were
• 40:50
  70
• 40:51
  chits
• 40:52
  of
• 40:52
  paper
• 40:52
  or
• 40:53
  70
• 40:54
  lottery
• 40:54
  tickets
• 40:55
  with
• 40:55
  the
• 40:55
  name
• 40:55
  Zuckin
• 40:56
  on
• 40:56
  it.
• 40:56
  And
• 40:57
  there
• 40:57
  were
• 40:57
  two
• 40:57
  that
• 40:57
  were
• 40:57
  blank.
• 40:58
  Okay,
• 40:59
  the
• 40:59
  two
• 40:59
  that
• 40:59
  were
• 41:00
  blank,
• 41:01
  we
• 41:01
  know
• 41:01
  were
• 41:01
  Eldar
• 41:02
  Maidan.
• 41:03
  No,
• 41:03
  actually
• 41:03
  they
• 41:04
  were
• 41:04
  the
• 41:04
  ones.
• 41:05
  Excuse
• 41:05
  me.
• 41:06
  Right.
• 41:06
  They
• 41:06
  weren't
• 41:06
  elder.
• 41:07
  They
• 41:07
  were
• 41:07
  the
• 41:08
  ones
• 41:08
  who
• 41:08
  did
• 41:08
  not
• 41:09
  take
• 41:10
  because
• 41:10
  they
• 41:11
  didn't
• 41:11
  want
• 41:12
  that
• 41:12
  the
• 41:12
  other
• 41:12
  that
• 41:13
  anyone
• 41:13
  else
• 41:13
  should.
• 41:15
  Right.
• 41:15
  Should
• 41:15
  come
• 41:16
  up
• 41:16
  blank.
• 41:17
  So
• 41:17
  it
• 41:17
  turned
• 41:18
  out
• 41:18
  that
• 41:19
  they
• 41:19
  self
• 41:19
  selected
• 41:20
  themselves
• 41:20
  as
• 41:20
  the
• 41:20
  two
• 41:21
  that
• 41:21
  were
• 41:21
  blank.
• 41:22
  But
• 41:22
  they
• 41:22
  were
• 41:23
  also
• 41:23
  zaychah
• 41:23
  to
• 41:24
  the
• 41:24
  nevuah.
• 41:25
  Different
• 41:26
  nuvua,
• 41:27
  though,
• 41:27
  because
• 41:27
  they
• 41:27
  continued
• 41:28
  having
• 41:28
  nuvuah.
• 41:28
  They
• 41:29
  got
• 41:29
  nuvuah
• 41:29
  independent
• 41:30
  of
• 41:30
  Moshe
• 41:30
  Rabbeinu.
• 41:31
  Whereas
• 41:31
  the
• 41:32
  posse
• 41:32
  says
• 41:32
  that
• 41:33
  the
• 41:33
  70
• 41:33
  received
• 41:34
  their
• 41:34
  Navua
• 41:35
  from
• 41:35
  Moshe.
• 41:36
  So
• 41:36
  that's
• 41:37
  why
• 41:37
  they
• 41:37
  continued.
• 41:38
  Those
• 41:38
  two
• 41:39
  had
• 41:39
  Navu
• 41:40
  continually
• 41:40
  afterwards
• 41:41
  and
• 41:41
  the
• 41:42
  remaining
• 41:42
  70
• 41:43
  did
• 41:43
  not.
• 41:43
  They
• 41:43
  were
• 41:43
  actually
• 41:44
  on
• 41:44
  a
• 41:44
  higher
• 41:44
  level.
• 41:45
  Right,
• 41:47
  right.
• 41:48
  So.
• 41:48
  So
• 41:49
  what's
• 41:49
  interesting
• 41:49
  is
• 41:50
  if
• 41:50
  you
• 41:50
  think
• 41:50
  about
• 41:51
  it,
• 41:51
  especially
• 41:51
  in
• 41:52
  the
• 41:52
  context
• 41:52
  of
• 41:52
  this,
• 41:53
  this
• 41:53
  is
• 41:53
  all
• 41:53
  about
• 41:54
  the
• 41:54
  leadership
• 41:54
  and
• 41:54
  the
• 41:55
  Anhaga
• 41:55
  and
• 41:55
  the
• 41:55
  Smicha.
• 41:56
  But
• 41:56
  this
• 41:56
  is
• 41:57
  literally
• 41:57
  Moishe
• 41:58
  Rabbeinu.
• 41:59
  This
• 41:59
  is
• 41:59
  Hakadosh
• 42:00
  Baruch
• 42:00
  Hu
• 42:00
  sharing
• 42:01
  the
• 42:01
  chachma
• 42:02
  and
• 42:02
  the
• 42:02
  wisdom.
• 42:03
  And
• 42:03
  Moshe
• 42:03
  Beinu
• 42:03
  says
• 42:04
  to
• 42:05
  Yeshua,
• 42:06
  right?
• 42:07
  To
• 42:07
  the
• 42:07
  Nar.
• 42:08
  He's
• 42:08
  not
• 42:08
  even
• 42:08
  referred
• 42:09
  to
• 42:09
  as
• 42:09
  Yeshua
• 42:09
  in
• 42:09
  that
• 42:09
  story.
• 42:10
  In
• 42:10
  the
• 42:10
  narrative,
• 42:10
  he's
• 42:11
  the
• 42:11
  Nar.
• 42:11
  Because
• 42:11
  he
• 42:12
  says,
• 42:14
  he
• 42:14
  says,
• 42:14
  he
• 42:15
  says,
• 42:15
  I'm
• 42:15
  not
• 42:15
  the
• 42:15
  one
• 42:15
  that
• 42:16
  gave
• 42:16
  them
• 42:16
  the
• 42:17
  chachma
• 42:17
  Kadishbar
• 42:18
  who
• 42:18
  gives
• 42:18
  it
• 42:18
  to
• 42:18
  them.
• 42:19
  It's
• 42:20
  not
• 42:20
  for
• 42:20
  me
• 42:20
  to
• 42:20
  say
• 42:21
  yes
• 42:21
  or
• 42:21
  no,
• 42:24
  but
• 42:25
  the
• 42:25
  point
• 42:25
  is
• 42:25
  Heyma
• 42:25
  bakshuvim.
• 42:26
  Because
• 42:27
  the
• 42:27
  point
• 42:27
  is,
• 42:27
  is
• 42:27
  that
• 42:28
  their
• 42:28
  smichah
• 42:29
  was.
• 42:29
  Because
• 42:29
  they
• 42:29
  were
• 42:29
  written
• 42:30
  here.
• 42:30
  He
• 42:30
  ties
• 42:31
  together
• 42:31
  the
• 42:31
  Ksav
• 42:32
  of
• 42:33
  saying
• 42:33
  that
• 42:33
  they
• 42:34
  got
• 42:34
  the
• 42:34
  issue
• 42:34
  of
• 42:35
  the
• 42:35
  Smicha
• 42:36
  from
• 42:37
  Baishurbeinu
• 42:38
  and
• 42:38
  from
• 42:38
  Hakodesh
• 42:38
  Baruch
• 42:39
  Hu.
• 42:39
  Right.
• 42:41
  Both.
• 42:42
  Right?
• 42:52
  So
• 42:53
  now
• 42:53
  he.
• 42:53
  Now
• 42:54
  he's
• 42:54
  going
• 42:54
  back
• 42:54
  to
• 42:55
  therefore,
• 42:56
  the
• 42:57
  situation
• 42:57
  that
• 42:57
  we're
• 42:57
  in
• 42:58
  now
• 42:58
  and
• 42:58
  we're
• 42:58
  forced
• 42:58
  to
• 42:59
  learn
• 42:59
  secular
• 42:59
  education,
• 42:59
  etc.
• 43:00
  It's
• 43:01
  not
• 43:01
  enough
• 43:01
  that
• 43:02
  Shank
• 43:02
  Savio
• 43:03
  Deno
• 43:03
  Nikna
• 43:04
  Levish
• 43:05
  Botan,
• 43:06
  that
• 43:08
  you
• 43:08
  know
• 43:09
  what
• 43:10
  we
• 43:10
  write.
• 43:10
  Right.
• 43:13
  Is
• 43:13
  not
• 43:13
  nikna,
• 43:14
  meaning
• 43:15
  is
• 43:15
  not
• 43:16
  subject
• 43:17
  to
• 43:17
  their
• 43:17
  mishpat
• 43:18
  ela
• 43:19
  philosophy.
• 43:21
  But
• 43:22
  what's
• 43:22
  worse
• 43:22
  is
• 43:23
  all
• 43:23
  the
• 43:23
  things
• 43:24
  that
• 43:24
  their
• 43:25
  mishpatim,
• 43:26
  their
• 43:26
  secular,
• 43:27
  you
• 43:27
  know,
• 43:29
  you
• 43:29
  know,
• 43:32
  laws
• 43:32
  and
• 43:33
  philosophies,
• 43:34
  etc.
• 43:40
  Right.
• 43:42
  Which
• 43:42
  says
• 43:48
  to
• 43:48
  execute
• 43:49
  the
• 43:49
  mishpat
• 43:50
  against
• 43:50
  them.
• 43:52
  So.
• 43:56
  So
• 43:56
  in
• 43:56
  ours,
• 43:58
  as
• 43:58
  a
• 43:58
  result,
• 43:59
  we're
• 43:59
  subject
• 44:00
  to
• 44:00
  the
• 44:00
  laws
• 44:00
  and
• 44:01
  the
• 44:01
  cultures
• 44:01
  of
• 44:01
  the
• 44:01
  nations,
• 44:03
  you
• 44:03
  know,
• 44:04
  and.
• 44:04
  And
• 44:04
  here
• 44:04
  he's
• 44:05
  saying
• 44:05
  that
• 44:05
  therefore
• 44:05
  now
• 44:06
  we're
• 44:06
  subject
• 44:06
  to
• 44:07
  their.
• 44:08
  To
• 44:08
  their
• 44:08
  writings
• 44:09
  and
• 44:11
  their
• 44:12
  censor.
• 44:12
  We're
• 44:13
  no
• 44:13
  longer
• 44:14
  ruled
• 44:14
  by
• 44:17
  that,
• 44:17
  but
• 44:19
  they
• 44:19
  become
• 44:20
  strengthened
• 44:22
  and
• 44:23
  illuminated
• 44:24
  here.
• 44:24
  So
• 44:25
  this
• 44:26
  is
• 44:26
  Denisian
• 44:27
  that
• 44:29
  he's
• 44:30
  talking
• 44:30
  about.
• 44:30
  All
• 44:31
  right,
• 44:31
  we'll
• 44:31
  continue.
• 44:33
  Absolutely
• 44:34
  theoretical.
• 44:39
  And
• 44:39
  I
• 44:39
  can
• 44:39
  attest
• 44:40
  to
• 44:40
  that.
• 44:42
  What
• 44:42
  do
• 44:43
  you
• 44:43
  mean?
• 44:43
  Like
• 44:45
  a
• 44:45
  boy
• 44:45
  who
• 44:46
  goes
• 44:46
  to
• 44:46
  college,
• 44:46
  who
• 44:47
  was
• 44:47
  raised
• 44:47
  from,
• 44:48
  starts
• 44:49
  learning
• 44:49
  philosophy,
• 44:50
  he
• 44:50
  starts
• 44:50
  thinking
• 44:50
  that's
• 44:51
  absolute.
• 44:52
  And
• 44:52
  then
• 44:52
  he
• 44:53
  starts
• 44:53
  questioning
• 44:53
  Torah.
• 44:55
  Meanwhile,
• 44:56
  the
• 44:56
  philosophy
• 44:56
  is
• 44:57
  purely
• 44:57
  theoretical,
• 44:59
  but.
• 44:59
  And
• 44:59
  the
• 44:59
  Torah
• 45:00
  is
• 45:00
  absolute.
• 45:01
  But
• 45:01
  now
• 45:01
  it's
• 45:02
  the
• 45:02
  way
• 45:02
  it's
• 45:02
  being
• 45:03
  taught
• 45:03
  in
• 45:03
  the
• 45:03
  college.
• 45:04
  It
• 45:04
  gets
• 45:05
  turned
• 45:05
  upside
• 45:06
  down
• 45:06
  and
• 45:07
  the
• 45:07
  philosophy
• 45:08
  becomes
• 45:08
  the
• 45:09
  absolute
• 45:10
  and
• 45:10
  the
• 45:10
  Torah
• 45:10
  becomes
• 45:11
  questionable.
• 45:12
  Right,
• 45:13
  Right.
• 45:14
  Very
• 45:14
  dangerous.
• 45:15
  Very
• 45:15
  dangerous
• 45:17
  things
• 45:18
  have
• 45:18
  come.
