foreign [Music] could be somebody literally that's just meticulous with their mitzvot and learns on a regular basis specifically when they learn Allah and how to observe the mitzvot so one person doesn't learn the other person does learn and the ghazoni says that this difference may not seem like a big deal but it's huge why he says because the masses which is majority of people who are ignoramuses as is well known view the meatswat as easy to perform they look at it what rabbit what do I need to do keep Shabbat okay so don't drive don't play with my phone eat relax go to show yeah no big deal Joe keeps your butt I don't know why I didn't do it till now fine I'll keep Shabbat and to him on day one this is perfectly fine in fact this is miraculous that he's starting to keep Shabbat and that she's starting to keep Shabbat she's not gonna light fire anymore she's not gonna go to work anymore she'll eat kosher food she'll go to synagogue if if necessary really for women it's not necessary for them to go to synagogue it's better for the man to go to synagogue but nonetheless for the average person out there even if they're not about juva this is what Shabbat is to them and therefore when they say that all I need to do is just to keep Shabbat is this fantastic I'll keep it and it seems to them easy in their eyes but if you asked you ask a Taurus scholar you ask a learned person about Shabbat you'll have quite a different answer because the more a person knows about a mitzvah the more difficult it becomes to him says the khazonish how so when it comes to shabbat thinks that as long as you don't drive you don't you don't uh play with your phone you go and eat you go to shoe you're keeping Shabbat knows there's a lot more to shabbat than just that as soon as you say the word Shabbat immediately they say to you 39 malachot there are 39 restrictions and there are endless amount of tuladot things that are born from those things meaning although there are 39 restrictions there are many many more things that stem from those 39 restrictions and if a person doesn't know then he doesn't even know how to keep Shabbat for example someone asked me just last week a about eating uh um pistachios and different nuts now I gave a very brief answer yes you're allowed there's no problem with it but quite frankly the answer should be much more elaborate than that if you were going to the books and if you're going to go into it extensively why because as the uh cephil Ash by an event from our generation says that the issues of boreal separating are extensive and a person needs to know them why he says because the reason why it called is to as an acronym for the issues of borer of separating on Shabbat the first person needs to know that if you're going to eat anything and it has waste on it let's say it has a peel an orange peel or the peel on the shells on the pistachio or anything like that you have to put some thought into eating it where you have to know that you have to take the good from the bad and not the bad from the good okay you have to take the good from the bad and not the bad from the good so for example if you have a box full of shells and there's one pistachio in there now if you take out the pistachio out no problem but if you say you know what let me empty out all these shells and I'll have my one pistachio left now you have a problem you just violated Shabbat and you have an issue of boil so to take out the good from the bad that's the first step that you need to know second thing is it has to be done with your hand not with a tool don't remove the good the food from the uh from the bad with some type of tool do with your hand so if you're opening the pistachio seat with your hand no problem if you have some type of a machine to do it which I don't even know if it exists but nonetheless for the argument for uh for this particular argument let's say there's a tool for it don't use the tool use your hand that's second thing third it has to be done for now meaning let's say for example you have a free afternoon and you know that you have a bunch of company coming over and uh you don't want people to break their head opening the pistachios or the sunflower seeds or the oranges or whatever it is and you decide you know what let me just peel everything and prepare everything for everyone you have a problem why the preparation is supposed to be for now not for later so these three steps if a person doesn't know them they could easily be violating Shabbat while they think they're keeping Shabbat in fact they can be preparing all Feast for the community five hours in advance saying you know what let me just do it early so I can have time to spend with my family and in reality they're violating Shabbat so it's very important for a person to know these laws because if they don't they're violating Shabbat and going up to heaven and saying oh I didn't know it's not gonna work why says a person that doesn't know it makes accidental sense he didn't mean to do it on purpose but he doesn't know because he didn't learn on purpose that sin that was accidental turns into a purposeful sin so you see while the average person thinks oh it's no big deal keeping Shabbat as long as I don't kill anybody as long as I don't drive a car as long as I don't watch TV I'm keeping Shabbat well that's maybe what you think but there's a lot more to it the intricate details of each and every single law are an obligation for all of us not just for the Torah Scholars and each person needs to know these details now of course a fool will say listen I don't know what the blessing is for this thing I'll just say shackle that shackle is for everything that as if Hashem created everything so I'll say sashem create everything including this so in essence they'll use the same blessing for everything this is a foolish person why because he thinks that he's doing God a favor with his Blessing but in reality the blessing is for himself the blessing is to remind himself that God runs the world and God gave you the Torah and if you simply make a blessing that is the wrong blessing because you care less you have a very serious problem says that if a person does not know the blessing he's not allowed to eat go find a blessing yeah but I'm hungry too bad you're hungry should have learned before now go learn figure out what the blessing is and then eat now a person say nah come on no it's not like I don't think that God cares if I say shackle or I say uh uh Ave so I say uh I see this God doesn't care check all it's everything that's a fool why because punishes measure for measure measure for measure now if you really think about it who loves you he's gonna start giving you some of the punishment in this world because the punishment in this world will actually help you duchova whereas the punishment in the next world is not going to help you there's no chuba in your mind there's no juvenile foreign then everybody gets cleaned up and but it's not true it's cleaning up the sins it's cleaning up the spiritual filth and trust me when I tell you after you see this film you're not going to want to go to you know for even a half a second but a fool will ignore this and say ah shackle and one day they can wake up and all of a sudden they're perfectly healthy body all of a sudden can they just bread and all of a sudden they have Celiac or they are of malabsorption or they have some other disease that no one can recognize and then okay fine so I can't eat bread anymore so I'll eat uh I'll eat uh you know fruits and all of a sudden they also have more stomach aches and more problems and all of a sudden they have hives what happened I can't eat apples anymore doctor says no no more apples okay what about bananas no no no more bananas either okay so no bananas no apples okay so uh all right so let me see what can I do ah maybe I can eat some nuts nope not you're allergic you'll probably die oh what can I eat you can eat this green this thing that some lab created and over there oh what's the blessing on it shackle so the only thing you're left with is shackle how about that would somebody like something like that no so remember if you don't know the blessing don't eat why because the blessing is important to you not to God for you to remember who God is not for God to remember who you are he already knows so on the other hand are as scared as can humanly as humanly possible from the smallest things and that's in essence what the kazani says he says the T ones that are very very knowledgeable find it very difficult because they know the severity of the Torah law and the law is ingrained into their heart the gaumi vilna in a famous story once was on Shabbat he uh didn't notice that there was a eggshell in front of him and he touched it the moment he touched this eggshell somebody ate an egg there's no egg left they just show he calculated weight if it's a shell there's no egg connected to it it's waste if it's waste it's a if it's Mook say I just touched it I just violated the law he passed out on Shabbat he passed out on the floor no one knew what was going on what happened here they tried to wake up the rug you okay you okay he got up he looked at the eggshell again he passed out again now passing out two times already yeah it's dangerous his dear Mother who is also very knowledgeable as we hear from this story she realized what happened with our son said wait a second she runs over there wakes him up as soon as he gets up she takes the eggshell and puts it in the mouth and starts eating it to show her dear son that yes there is an opinion that bashata when it's really necessary eggshell could really be food so it's not really muktay even though you can find a endless a number of post scheme they're going to tell you that even if you don't have to eat it it's not multi but the love of the law and thereby the knowledge of the law and the severity of the law that was ingrained Into the Heart of the government vilna didn't allow him to accept any leniency whatsoever when it came to this eggshell and when he realized that he might have violated the law according to somebody's opinion one of the delay of those opinions from previous generation possibly his heart couldn't fathom it and he passed out now of course some people would say oh this is fanatic you think that the gummy vilna is fanatic well they call him a gun what did they call you I doubt it's gone and if you call yourself a gun it doesn't mean anything [Music] thank you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music]
