The Wealthy Rosh Yeshiva

This reminded me of a raid bite that we spoke about once upon a time. The name of the raid bite was the rags and riches something. I remember the exact of Abaya, right? That Abaya went from rags to riches. It was a really a whole mind a whole sicha from It's printed in the safer it is It's similar He says that there are many rias from shas that Abaya was an utter man. Just to mention two. The says that Abaya had a certain called Now the two ways for a person to develop either because he was a vera similar or a person he get a because he he's famished because he has no food to eat and because he's starving he could develop a so Abaya Abaya got a on my rubber rubber said your day I know that the reason Abaya got a is simply because and because of he's so poor that's why he developed a another that Abaya was clearly an utter man is a classic said that after Abaya died who was the Abaya's wife came to rubber and she said I want you to me for I'm not I want you to lay out how much I'm supposed to get so he gave her he says you know you're going to be entitled to this entitled to that says you left out one from the menu. So rubber said you Abaya I know my friend Abaya he never drank wine and then she says you know what wine he used to drink and she exposed her arm and then rubber was and then rubber's wife something must have happened in the basin and she went and she managed to beat up it's a fascinating but either way that's what the says says that she says how did rubber know you did I mean he said he was an utter man take A LOOK AT THE SHABBOS HE'S STARVING IF HE DOESN'T HAVE IT little boys, the lechem lecho, then come over and obviously he doesn't have any wine to drink either. Right, so what did he drink? I don't know, in light of the raid we spoke about in the never avoid disorder. Not water, I don't think, right? I'm not sure. But either way, apple juice, probably so. But the bottom line is, he said wine he couldn't have and the reason he couldn't have is because he was an ordinary man. And then he said I'm so sorry for saying that if you look around Shabbos, right? This classic for the Sinais to do. If you look around Shabbos, so many of them are ordinary men in other words, we have regarding Anus, are Abaya talking. The Anus coffin Anus and ordinary man doesn't even have how hungry it is. Shabbos I am dollars, you can only Pita, the light condition. Shabbos I am dollars, you can only Pita be Anus or Abaya talking. Everything Gimbel faster Anus as well as Anus. The daughter of my mother ain't only a little bit right? It's all a mindset. And he goes through chapter and verse how many of them are ordinary men it's all about. He says, "Why? Because we do not understand Abaya was an ordinary man. He goes down your day and even right? I know he didn't because he's so poor and he developed the right thing that people literally developed that they had absolutely nothing. And obviously this must be what's going on over here." It says I'm so sorry for there was something that bothered me very much. He says, "You know what bothered me? What bothered me is there's a few other there's a brocha the says Abaya only labor column. Abaya when he would hear the brocha by Benji, he would answer I'm in very loudly. He issued the small pile of because he had a lot of workers and he wanted the workers to know that the brocha was just made. So he would give a loud on me so all his workers all his workers he doesn't have lecho. Where did all these workers come from? Another that I am so sorry for still so. This is so sorry for the Anus Abaya had an Anus and he once came to him and he had to ask him a shaila." Abaya has an Aris. Abaya doesn't have a glass of wine. How does Abaya all of a sudden have an Aris? One last Gemara. Chulin kuf vov med aleph. Abaya have a sayder nischay kol yom v'yomam. Every single day Abaya would go, he would look at all his nichasim. He would look at all his assets. WHERE DID ABAYA GET ASSETS? He says, "Ribono shel Olam kol yom." He said, "I had this perfect thesis." Abaya is an Aris man. And that's why all the Gemaras about aniyus, right? Rava is always talking about wine. Abaya is talking about aniyus. But the point IS ALL THESE GEMARAS ABOUT ANIYUS IS ALL ABAYA. HE SAYS, "OH, IT'S PERFECT." LAYVE DAY AMARIS NAFSHAY. He understood it. Basra Anya Anya ozal. Even the halacha is followed on it. So like this, this is something that he knew. He says, "THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I found all these Gemaras where he became migver. What happened?" He says, "I'm going to tell you I think what happened." You know what happened? We're going to learn the Gemara soon. It's end of Maseches Sota. The Gemara is going to say that there was a whole tumult who should become Rosh Yeshiva, Rava or Rav Yosef, right? It's a famous Gemara. I'm not giving it away. There's no spoiler alert here. We mentioned this Gemara a thousand times. And really they wanted Rav Yosef to be the Rosh Yeshiva because he had a yod in his name. But then they said Rava because Rav Yosef he consulted with the astrologers and they said he's only going to be two years and that's it. So he ends up they give it to Rava and he's molech chof pey shnin, 22 years. And then after he passes away, who becomes the next Rosh Yeshiva? Then Rav Yosef becomes Rosh Yeshiva. Who became Rosh Yeshiva after Rav Yosef was nifter? Abaya. Then Abaya became Rosh Yeshiva. That means Abaya became Rosh Yeshiva. Once Abaya became Rosh Yeshiva, said Rav Yaakov Chaim Sofer, "Now there's a halacha of koina d'adame yachid. Gadol umisharech. And what's the makor that is? The makor is Rashi in Taanis chof vov med aleph molech Rav Yochanan." And not only was he molech, he became better in learning. Molech, he became A BIGGER MIGVER THAN ILFA ALSO. THAT'S THE MOLECH RAV YOCHANAN. And the makor that is Rav Avu gave away the stellah to Abaya ben Nachmani who was a baal chey. He wanted him to have this thing. And the Gemara in Horiyos is the way the Tashbitz learned it. I don't think he quotes the Tashbitz that Rav Yaakov Chaim Sofer but this tzushtel, this Gemara in Horiyos is in daf yud. minute. That is an idea that once somebody became the Yeshiva, once he became the Nazi, at that point God at that point that's the rest of the story with Abaye. Abaye tackles starts off as an ordinary man, but then afterwards he became a giver. Maybe just to be moist of on this and that is so we had a Gemara today. It was the last Gemara we learned. When the Gemara said that R. Papa and R. Shmuel once came to Rava. Rava said, "Tell me, I came to learn this and that and you know this and that." Said, "Yeah." Said, "Tell me." He said, "I have a little bit of this and that." He said, "I have a little bit of this and that." He said, "We own a small piece of property and it throws off some income and like this we have a little bit of this and that." But in this Gemara it sounds like R. Papa is you know he has a little piece of property and because of this little piece of property he has he's making a little bit of income. The message I think R. Papa has a little bit of this and that and he's giving business advice. A whole list of business advice and he says this and that. If you have an opportunity to buy a piece of property, jump in and buy it. He's a very you see through this little piece of property that he had this that's WHAT HE'S SAYING. SO GO AHEAD and buy a piece of property like this you're going to have something. The message is like this that we know R. Papa at some point became a super giver. Right? He became very very very very wealthy. How did he become very wealthy? How did he become very wealthy? So the truth is like this it's a Gemara. The Gemara in this Gemara it says that the Gemara over there says that R. Papa said this and that. Were it not that the fact that I was in the beer business, I was a brewer, I would I would not have become a giver. So how did R. Papa become a giver? Not from that little piece of property that he had. He became a beer and beer he became a beer from the beer business, right? That's how he became a great city. He didn't have a microbrewery. He had a macrobrewery, right? I mean his brewery was trading on the stock exchange. That's what it sounds like, right? You do it throughout so I'm wrap up wrap up a set it's interesting as a is this the reason that a puppet came a beer according from talking about I will be here. We had a earlier on that with the said that he loved in a CD we're not for the fact that I married a bus coin I went to be in beer. So why did a puppet become a beer? Is it cuz he married a bus coin or did he become a beer because he's in the right business says yes, you have to say the you have to say could be both. It was just appreciate this is a drop more just one matter of something we've mentioned many times over the years says in coffee on the day. I buy you have a a buyer was once traveling with his right and was to his left the whole captain already. So again, just picture the scene a buyer is walking in the middle he's the receiver rap up is on his right rap up is his left and all of a sudden who's coming in their direction captain Mariri. That's a shape. So what do you do when captain Mariri is coming in your direction? You cross the street. You don't even look both ways. You cross the street. So either way since captain Mariri the Malik but he was coming towards the left. I had a small city one you go to my left and you go to my right. I'm going to wrap up and I'm not my little what can I again? What's with me? You want to get the money to eat me up alive like what's happening over here? I'm going to you have a good muscle. I'm not worried about you. How do you know a puppet had a good muscle Dr. here in coffee also because you're an the age of 12 like you say because you're an usher you have good mazel. And like this I'm not worried something is going to happen to you. What by the way because we know Bonnie Lapis fear big fear that means they have a good mazel. That means this I was thinking we know had 10 sons right of coming close to the end of so maybe you could have said also not you were the 10 SUCH SONS MUST BE ABOUT MAZEL BONNIE right that's one. But either way either way you see with a tremendous and had it become a tremendous it became a tremendous it was a number one he was in the beer business also because he married a but then this is a little still a little when did this happen been a storm was able to make all this money when it did a beer business I don't know but one thing we do know and that is Raba was Yeshiva after Raba passed away became Yeshiva after passed away after became Yeshiva when he passed away became Yeshiva after Raba became Yeshiva after Raba passed away the Yeshiva was divided into two. Rav Nachman by became one of the Yeshiva and Rav Papa became the other Yeshiva if Rav Papa became Yeshiva that means at some point Rav Papa also had a beer usher he had to be wealthier than all his brothers based on this same exact of so maybe I don't know how did Rav Papa go from owning a small piece of property where pool dollar as we said Puerto Bon Andante right where that's what he had to all of a sudden now Rav Papa is the greatest in shots. Like how did one thing lead to the other so says I don't know I have to I have to says it came from the beer business I have another it came from the fact that he married a so how do you reconcile all these two maybe there was a third reason. At some point, Rava Papa became the Yeshiva. You see the derech was that the Yeshiva became a gvir. Look at the rags-to-riches story of Abaya. At some point, you become a gvir. Rava Papa became a gvir. And if that would be the case, it would be ha the ha the ha part.
