okay the date everybody we're learning the mine the hot lady lacrosse Kalwa in these the safer my mother will cut them here of the previous rather we're on page 150 just to recap briefly what we learned yesterday the last few times that there's the horse and collar and just like we greet Shabbos we greet the hosts in the collar or Broca's come from Shabbos for the rest of the week of the previous week he doesn't say that but that's the implication APA so to through the greeting the customer caller one receives or bless the source of blessings and that he enumerates the caballes pregnant for four points four stages and the greeting of the hussy there is the going with the fussing to the caller there is the CFO the failing of the caller and then there's going together through the hopper and then he said that under Hooper's when you have the essential experience of having the essence of God revealed as you stand under the chuppah who stands on the Kaabah the fussing and the power the fussing cyclist protocol the collars bidets well the the Eden the Jews and so too there's between the physical cross link Allah and that he says that before the Hupa why is it necessary this was Boaz this question yesterday thank you boys for bringing it to our attention what's the what's the what's the metaphor and the lesson from the failing of the column so he said that's called the cockpit of Cathay knee of the must fear the external closeness of the must fear to cause the recipient the Makabe to want to feel comfortable and Ray and raise herself to the cussin and then the question is able to give the color of the Kabbalah here's the they have spoken is the inner essence of what he really wants to communicate let's continuously how it says this inside bearing in who to understand this better denominator saving us all our rabbi saying the governor of stuff here again page 150 ice Baines listen to this young it's a beautiful Gomorrah rather become at the possible hood upon them robber before he opened to teach he began before he began teaching the rabbis imam moussa the difícil he said a riddle knows the biggest amis a riddle a joke of vaudeville next page each one fifty one-vote who rap on them and the rabbi's left of them safe Yosef the answer and the end result was that they sat with all of fear they they they sat they sat there listening and and and really respecting with reverence the rabbi the teacher robber or possibly smite and then he began teaching the halacha the sukhiya of the Gemara that he was teaching what happened over here what happened is very simple that guy's rabbi the the rabbi has a class of students he comes in they all know he's this humongous scholar right and they're you know students so there is a gap between them and there's a gap that's really seemingly irreversible so it takes the rabbi the teacher to initiate a particular method to break hide a blazer to break the good morning to break it takes it takes the teacher rapper to break the fear so what does he do it basically does what a what a many speakers do today before they begin with the real content they make a joke they say a riddle they say something you know that that's that's easygoing that everyone gets more into the comfort zone that's what the governor says insulting Robert did for with his tummy them and once he saw they were all comfortable and they were relaxed as we say English they were chilled out then a pulse of the shmita he was able to really give them the meat and potatoes so before you get meat and potatoes you have to have an appetizer that's the idea here let's continue gamma-sphere sort of with they Allah who let up on them it takes the must fear it takes the teacher to initiate the process with and for his rabbis meaning his students the high knew losses as amicable it's up to the torture they must fear to make the recipient or ro irritable virus for that he be suitable to receive the information I adapt sequence a king of a who's-who salary how does it do that by opening his vessels and his talents in other words every student every macabre has Huson and caleb right the question is how do you open them how do you find them so the rebus says that takes a teacher there must fear to figure out a way to create that opening in the student but you guys see how important it is to have a good teacher I mean the same you know school you can have there's great teachers but if they don't know how to access and get the students to be interested enough to write you remember when I'm talking about laser to actuality in actuality to do it the words in the mind we look at the words in the second line at 1:51 behind new la sauce that's havoc Abu rabu you what is the word hill route will mean suitable ready so in other words not that we're doing it now it's not being done yet but it's I should be ready to do it if like the chance presents itself that's what growing needs and it continues with service with TIA might sir shall year the virus fall if he Erica macaque then he says once you you open up that comfort level for the students you need to then open a halacha smites in his Asuka a lot of meat and potatoes right CEO governor has spoiled if he tried it with the Arahama Kabul it can overwhelm I yoni if you overwhelm the student with some you know flute and tootin you know trigonometry equations and they basically know basic mathematics you talking to a wall did you like that what are you doing what are you doing here you want to show how great you are go to a wall talk to the wall you know no you not so if what he saying is even even even after you open up the talents of each student in the room then and then you start teaching there I'm hoping that they'll use their talents to understand what you're teaching them or giving them if you give them a house world that's way over their head they ain't getting anything you're wasting your time that's what he says let's continue and he says village A's therefore he may become at the pulse of what I belong before the the robber the teacher opened the the glass with the information the shemites at Halawa the suger ah safes in Black Lake up although to to make them a vessel for receiving the halacha on my mills of the business sir what did he do first he said a riddle he said a joke he cracked the joke he made them comfortable that's why princeless our wonderful pencils is always making nice jokes he wants us to feel comfortable to learn by the flow by myself he's the one that provides for us the most of the difícil mill said this is a post sickness but III was I was hoping I'd get a comment out of him anyway well mill said that because he was cooler now the other says here the riddle is not a riddle of total rhythm you know I have these Torah riddles the new server D system the riddle is secret school encircles cocoon is mundane conversation it's not sick as kodesh the lubavitcher rebbe is the rebels a citizen called the seekers kodesh the holy seahawks the holy talks it's a schooling it's it's conversation of which its content is human right from the word whole mundane secular the emails and although this he has Hulu shall be the common system we both now this is a rhetorical remark the Gemara says in suka that the conversation you'll discuss cooling of the ordinary mundane tell me this a common scholars sleep in Nemeth we need to study when you hear a common custom speak what sounds to you like mundane conversation comes to the Marisa and says you have to explore it and study it because there's brilliance of Torah there so the rebus question is the previous question is if that's the case why do you tell me that the way to open up the talents of the top of his students today feel coaster is with ceaseless cooling when the Gemara says in suka that secrets cooling itself needs it has a lot of death that's his question and his and his report his immediate retort is any was dose that was still the fish yes my cross parappa this is still part of the the rhetorical question if you see has been caught by rapper because Cephas huland there is much wisdom to it was holy I'm looking and deep intellectual thoughts and here comes the retort when we call Malcolm he well is the retort to the words of two lines above the Mao so they may use implies rhetorical question who Macomb Oakland is nevertheless is the report to the to the to the rhetorical question only call my own and nevertheless who previously Chinese yes yes he was cooling the Gemara is right of course she was cooling we need to explore no question about it however however compared to what's going down compared to the thing it's only it's only fits ideas it's only external you can't compare a high level of sugar a cup of question of content to see for schooling in other words he's saying that okay another designed this the Gemara is right to say that ceaseless cooling recently worked but the chimeric doesn't mean to say that cephus cooling is equivalent to - what - the content it's that said that's what is Nicole Markham nevertheless secrets : it's still pretty sweet rainiest it's still external in comparison to the content I'm Tanisha Bogle Jason and although the greater one is her Adama the solution oi handed my belated guevara yes and then the persons that the persons conversation the greater one is a comic often right but then that person secret school of mundane conversation is greater she has rumored mayhem higher than your in the voyage you could learn much wondrous things many wondrous things from listening to a common custom have mundane conversation and I'm one of this for a second tell you this is not this is not something that's just to be taken lightly sometimes if you have a chance that you're in the school or you're in a trap of tone or you're on a vacation if you have to tell me there's a husband and and and they're sitting and speaking what seems to be ordinary conversation if you're able to eavesdrops on them and listen to the conversation because this will alert again because since they're both tell me they're coming their secret schooling is not like the citrus woman of the ordinary person their mundane conversation is much more sophisticated elevated spiritually even though compared to really learning the modern on that its secrets : that's what it says here say yes Ruben there have had a big young women for him we one can learn many wondrous things from listening to the mundane conversation of tammy holman the ins lt's there the incas l rap legless Hoffman Mavis pill vibe it's only Navy's enables reasons like I'm not the fruit itself it's something that falls off the fruit you know a branch a twig it's not the very thing itself only Coleman hain hang goofy customer the episodes but never forget that the sisters who lead affirmative comin it's novelist Hosmer but it's still hot Smurfs Torah it's not to be dick today mother's life tell them to say that the conversation of the Vedic economy is secular and mundane and in its very coarse form or even in this regular form no the mother says amico monkey did we say become open heyn heyn goofy hokhmah that itself is customer my beloved signals ow and that's the mother say the rabbi's say supers were saying - I prefer the term terminology of Cohanim is blessed we're saying how come I said the words of the Cohanim is wealth we're saying ha ha me MARTA the words of how common is healing the who she Musa she'll Taylor and this is called the apprenticeship of Torah and you all know the famous saying that the that the lead said he learned more from the way the maggot tied his shoes I forget which Rebbe said this he was a student of the maggot of miss rich who's your cyclist you test his luck next week on Tuesday a week from today so he said I learned more from the way by Rebbe ties and shoes than from the teachings how do you support that and by the way you probably don't know you probably know this has been a kind of a contested issue over the years between the Hasidic world and the Litvak world you know what cretins do you give to Shenmue special Torah in other words what you know do you spend your time learning learning learning and just stop with this you know learning from a Rebbe how he eats and how he sleeps and how he walks you know or from atomic awesome for that matter for example you know in brisk right the Brit the brisker are very very like against this type of activity of you know paying attention to the the the drugs you know personal behavior in his conversation they don't of course they know the Gemara the camera sucker but they types the gomorian super that refers to mundane conversation within the realm of Torah I'll give you an example rabbi is is Flo Jacobson was a Jew Kate alerted hub and Labov each in the 1900s and then it came to America in 1926 and and and he was a someone who helped establish kabadi in in America so I read in his memoirs I read that he said he was it was traveling somewhere this is 1938 I think actually Poland he came here to see the Rebbe and he was a he was very tired so he was at a train station waiting for a train or something around the train and he says you took out a certainly safer and he read it and he said it and and he said because he was too tired to deeply study of Sylvia so you see there's a difference between studying a piece of the murder of the you know looking into a Rashi with great depth and and you know toiling and Harvey it's a wit versus just you know reading something but that's all of Torah that's all in the realm of Torah so that's what we're saying over here that's that's in the realm of learning tone so that's how the brisker look at this Gomorrah but many others look at the Gemara in a very simple way she Musa Jelena means being Masonic serving aiding taurah and taurah and a common culture so the and and you know whether this has been overdone there is a criticism out there that has been really overdone but forget about the you know the the practical aspect now where people go off you know on a pageant and they decide they have to spend so much time looking at the Rebbe shoes i remember i want to tell you guys i remember selling plants with their ever okay out ne ne ne ne out of shouted but he got upset this is what he is standing outside here and waiting for me to come home the repple would go to the oh hell normally eras eras rascal dish and on the 15th of the month every month every month and he would come back the red would leave like you know afternoon one early afternoon and it would come back when you could dive amirev already unless you were a software error and you get avid and much much later and and and the rabbit because he was diving for Eden and there was traffic and everything else you know in there he couldn't get back to 717 PI me actually the earlier days he did in the 1950s and 60s but later that workload with the amount of people that wrote them that he should diving for them Hashem at the Oh health became so much that he had so much reading of the of the petition notes and the tech loss of the letters that he couldn't make it back on time earlier so anyway sometimes so the buckram stood outside 770 and waiting and waiting and the keys the car coming from Easter back way and I remember a few times there episode and he said stop wasting your time go inside a murderer but what are you doing how come a compliment hunt and we'll dive into it he didn't say those words you know but he did so I'm saying is that this idea of emotional cater can be abused as well but but at the same time there's something to be with Shama so Tom McLoughlin to be the shaman Tom accustomed to do apprenticeship is the practicality of whole learning you could learn and philosophize and until you do this she was the actual attendance and work and apprenticeship you're not you're not doing it so that's why she must return and though so you know a rug or of a real rough a real post sake needs to have Simlish you know what does that mean so for your some those that those that want to be you know real and they hang that and hanging around other up on them older than them and they go with them to the schwa place to the slaughterhouse and they hear the silence of cosmas and they hear the silence of neither you know you take Simlish I did a little humorous before I went out to California as weakness in 84 I went to a few Bunyan and and took emotion a few in a few areas so that I see and hear and see how they apply how dr. nerd I love her to the practical situation but I get a little ugly but they don't you know ruffles full time a rough past in silence really they need that and without that it's all very nice from a book from a safer from a base mesh but they're missing the shimu she's a player so this is what we're talking about it's continued back in the - a says for I'm gonna sound he quotes the good mother brothers powerful Gerber the damage the bushes from failure against them in the Buddha greater is serving the cleaner the apprenticeship more yes I know about the Gemara but I didn't want to use that example but I know I know about the camera you know I think today laser we could there's so many other areas before we get to sleeping in on our readies private bedroom and let us continue anyway anyway so the governor says the how the Gerber says a breakfast today Lisa Moussa cetera Yosemite Buddha great greater is the CMOS of Torah more so than actually you hear that is greater to be Misamis be its Amish be of aid for Torah more than the learning authority cinema and the government agrees and brothers approve to that statement from here it says shall Emma play it says over here in maluf him in Kings 2 chapter 3 verse 11 it says like this at least have been so I'll show you upset my in my a daily Oh elisha the son of shaphat comport water throughout the head and hands of le oh it doesn't say what my glowing them are it doesn't say that he learnt with him and layup suck he poured water little I made this teaches us Shagga Taylor she Musha yeh said Millie Bordeaux that great is greater is He Bush is assisting more than learning that's the proof of the come on so now he continues going back to the next sex next part that he began with in this chapter the he name would say after Robert opened up his teaching his students with a riddle Yosef the answer the students act with or Hooper softish might sir and then he began teaching them the content the sugar the Halawa that he wanted he was teaching them the lead with updated Sutter who is be the sabayon that effort says motion listen to the rabbit takes of the murder the good mother literally means what you'll need they sat with fear you know and there's only a Habad rabbit could do there ever says that doesn't mean they were sitting there with trepidation shaking it doesn't only mean that it means that they were permeated was you know session you know Somalia that's what Robert camp accomplished by getting them to feel comfortable and to allow their senses to open up it reminds me of you know a mother not story but it's something that there was not deacon there was a deacon on their desk was money why was the money on the desk usually and people would come in they would see the money on the desk you know in a way it's that's not not not nice you know people would give exotic a red bird they would give him a a petition though the letter asked them to pray to a shell and for them and their needs and they would give money they would give that'sthat's was been the tradition if they're able to and then and and by the way there's it's not just you know there's holy sources for this idea of giving school opinion but as a pig in mean a Redemption my father Homer was a hospital Babbage Utley says you know you want the rabbit to go and and and and now he for you and ask a sham you believe that the rapper has a cleft that you know more than yours that you davon and he's you know he'd go straight up there what are you giving him he's like what are you giving him what are you giving him what are you giving your guests to give sadaqa that's what he said and and and and and you should know I mean I bother people who who they wouldn't give a check they would get cash for the bank and they would put the cash and send the cash in and they were hopeful that the Rebbe accepted their cats anyway it's just a whole thing of money it's something that I don't know if you've heard about or read or what nuts not it's not a joke it's a it there's holiness to it if it's if it's done right and authentic and the person's authentic so but then there were rebels who had money on their debts so when you came in to ask for abruptly a sword why and the explanation that that fact it doesn't it doesn't look nice the answer is they needed the money in a way to cause them her harvest hadass harvest bees broaden into the you know in other words they feel uh you know they don't have to worry how they're gonna support their wife and children and then community the money was trying to open her like I said before an appetizer so so was saying over here was saying over here and that just a remark and I wanted it reminds me I went to see of a couple ones with a group of people in Dimona I don't know if I ever told you but I had the experience to meet the woman that was possessed with a did book I went to interview her about the 15 of so years ago more in there too strong and she had time with the bear Sheva but the actual the Dippold everything else happened in Dimona on the way to Damona I stopped off at the Baba's all his great nephew called Makalu philosophy I don't anyone was around at a time they took about 15 20 years ago he lived out in it'll come to me I forget but maybe he lived in Dimona he lived at the moment I think so I when I went to see him because the people told me you're selling me told me to go so I took him along and we won't gave you some money you know I mean what he did than what he said I recorded and put out a video you can actually see the way I'm a kugel does Cibola on us it's very interesting so I documented it and I have it out in a video so so we gave you some money and all the sudden he spoke on the Arabic they start to understand the word and the interpreter says he's like he's like saying it's not enough money so okay we gave my but it I was I was very surprised like here you are you're kind of a you are I'm a couple and you're authentic that's to tell me and and I'm not saying he was using it you know to buy a more comfortable couch your Xiaomi interpreter said you know you didn't raise Maestas but I still was a little a little taken back you know but you know I'm not gonna be judgmental of just telling you what happened so why am I saying this because we're talking about the the milk's of the disaster that causes you yet your assertion the proof is in the pudding he here this how do you know if your joke and your opening and your riddle is kosher and acceptable and has done its job only if you create in the recipients of the students who sit there now and listen to the lecture your assertion that's the proof and if user in it and if not that means you use the wrong joke the wrong riddle the wrong opener I think it's a great lesson for public speakers to you know sometimes they the public speaker will throw out a joke or a riddle or something and and and what follows is just their board and not interested in a way and they walk away not moved and in this case they walk away without you not Somalian so the inker is they get is from I am anyway will continue to borrow everyone sizes aunt romesco what we they Moscow then I'm great and pulling with a mask okay desires waiting for a week we're gonna be gonna be in the air okay have a safe trip everybody I will see when you get back take care
