Pirkei Avot - Introduction (Pirkei Avot Class #1)

foreign as we did with um with ashrae yeah we did with Ashley and we did with uh with azashi before we learned you start to learn and analyze the holy words with tanaim we have to preface a few ideas Concepts help us to gain the most thousand image to understand we have this then hope you'll be able to understand now as we normally do things we have a few questions and then we'll try and answer the questions and yeah and develop first question is why is it called it's a strange name you know I know chapters of the fathers or whatever it's like question number one question number two which I never really looked into I'm very happy I did why is the Min hug to say turkey about between pesach and Shavuot right now it's brutal because they will see later the ashkenaz minhag is that they carry on right through the summer they carrying right through the summer they end up actually saying four times yeah and it says that and and here we stop saying prokia vote is in England especially whatever yeah because yeah in this country nationalism don't really say it so much but in England and everything just like we do yeah they might be to say every Shabbat minha you know one pair computer was and they carry on even after even after uh shavu right yes right right yeah yeah we just win today we say we asked already the first question was why is it called second question just came in was why is the Min hug where does it come from the Min hug to say between us um thirdly um I want to just learn a small piece of Mara in the second Baba Karma right because the Gamora in Baba Kama says it says over there I'll just say the beginning the question of the gemara is a high man to buy the Mojave hasid a person must be considered a khasid right doesn't mean we belong building pairs as we know he goes he wants to do everything in the best way in the best possible way a very high level and I am so on one of the safarium either today or yesterday I can't remember exactly where that really hasid from the higher levels of the ladder Pinchers is based upon it all comes from Once the person reaches the level has then he opens the you know the gate the door to all the levels so it says what you have to do so we'll see that hopefully we have time and lastly which is considered starting why do we start saying Procare with Cornish yeah its emissions the last peric in San Adrian says to start saying many kids say a parrot each week so say the parrot what's his preface why we start we called Israel right it's also a question no don't bother me I don't even know what this is bother me okay so so let's go yeah one by one so the first thing we said why is it called so I saw altogether six reasons at least six I'll take a selection some from many many from these even though I'm not sure if this particularly it was yeah I'm not sure this was because he only wrote yeah that's what they said this one was originally some of it was written later on the first one is he says this is also basically when the good morning discusses it says right there were four main categories over of uh naziken right of damage yeah right I mean I'm sure ball Etc right now what does avat mean what does avat mean it means in this categories so he says that when we say he said it means to say it is a categories everything we're going to learn in the mission now all the mission etc etc are a vote the categories their titles which means within that line many more details and subcategories okay so he said this is we should realize and the uh is and therefore it's holding upon us to look into the words to be very careful about the word through the brain because they words are a small amount that contains a lot okay now what are these titles what is that yeah what is um what are we being taught over here so um yeah the categories for all the the basis of avadata Musa of working upon ourselves on his middle Etc and and apparent I saw I can't remember exactly where now also that everything was written afterwards all the secrets and everything right that's number one um number two is that another camera it says why is something called avot why are these called because these ones are mentioned explicitly in the sukim if you're looking you'll see right sure boy it says explicitly they're written in them on each one right it's all there and that's what avot means that's number one number two is which Linked UP avat is referring the the connotation of the lineage meaning of of our fathers right the fathers meaning the generation right the tradition again it's quoting many different sources that's referring to um this is a mess of the avat of the dorot meaning the fathers of all these generations going back to moisturabenu right this is my second award this is we'll see in the first mishna up in that's why it could have wrote and it fits very nicely um this shot with um the opening words of the babatanura on the first mission when it says yeah he says they tell you that you should know that everything which is in here is in the Torah like you know some Jewish philosophy book you understand this is where the idea is how to behave Etc and you know I mean you know obviously influenced by the Torah but it's their own ideas just like everything else this is also about tomorrow and the middle of what we're going to learn from Isa right that's very important so again that's the word I wrote based on Marvel Comics it's explicit meaning this is from the sukim right this is this is based on the Torah I don't think it's some just you know something in the air right Jewish philosophy Jewish ethics that's number one number two he said it's a continuation that's we're going back to Moshe and from and number three that we said that it's it's their titles I mean this is their their headings which means we have to we have to realize that it's not just it's really through and and uh and just take our face value right we'll come back to that bit in in a minute now the second question we asked was why why do we say what's the mean hug where does it come from right what's it mean hug that is unbelievable CFA what it says over here um again this is based on the Madras schmuel who was um I said his name on second his name was shmuel de orzida who lives at some point I assume he came from Spain at some point which is mainly what I've seen on the last peric on the perk shishu right but he has brought on his name a few of these reasons one is it's springtime the weather is heating up it's getting hot right so the words just like the the weather is heating up so so till the eight Sahara heats up very uh succinct in his words right what does that mean so the mama is expound on that a bit right and he says he says nice weather it's very nice weather now right it's the most beautiful weather it's not actually too hot Springtime and everyone feels like oh let's just go out it's so good schmuck let's go out you know on on a trip let's go out into the countryside let's enjoy ourselves you guys have a good time right says Torah calm down your priorities right in life yeah the Imam way says beautifully um he says you know instead of going around in the countryside and landscaped Gardens he says get yourself prepared for the true landscape Garden or Eden yeah and and that way that says it word antidote for you know for the eighth of heart it comes at this time I said in this Accord is where you saw this ethics of Sinai from Sinai from Irving in the 1560s in America 40s even actually yeah it's not even the 14th the second world war there's massively and I just quote he says he writes Beautiful English it's American but it's from a long time like I said okay he says at this time of year it is therefore best to listen sorry he says this is when in in the springtime this is when Nature news its great cycle of annual life and growth the warm vital forces of regeneration begin to stir and flow Man Too feels powerful instinctual urges Rouse within himself you understand you know if you're looking and you don't have to look you don't want to look but whatever you know from your youth you know how to go and talk about Springtime and all the songs you know I mean the rest of it Springtime love yeah they get all like you know for the summer it's all you know they ain't Letting Go and all the rest of it right that's what Perth how it is it's it's a it's a reality so he says therefore this time of year is therefore best to listen to the wisdom of the sages to learn how to overcome Temptation and passion develop a willpower and control our actions that that's what he says that's reason number one yeah that's reason number one reason number two is that we know we mentioned the uh right is the echo the all-purpose Academy trying we said right the other day was gonna come together tomorrow I see now that's all purpose and therefore we want to prepare ourselves for matantara and it says Hashem the first level the first stage of meaning there's a treasure house the key is right the Torah you want to get into the Torah open the door into the Torah you have to have an outside you have to have your own uh you know Treasure House of because otherwise we're going to see the mishnah itself and therefore we're preparing ourselves for matantara and therefore this is all full of Musa right now um yeah not only that on this and this shirt there is I found a sephir called yeah nothing to do with the hater down the road and this was written by someone called review Huda ayash who was you Algeria yeah and he says his followers I quote what he says because we are getting ready to accept the Torah on and outside which is means and the purpose of receiving the Torah was we should learn the Torah we should study Torah we should teach the Torah obviously keep the Torah foreign and he says especially before yeah which is coming to give a person get him excited to want to learn Torah understand so there's two things of it again most most people should explain that the main point is the Musa right but he's saying of the in itself it's coming within the middle of the vote you'll find many mishtayot especially the last period are coming there only for that purpose to get you excited to keep the Torah learn Torah you know with that's what he said that's the result now um the third reason is we know it's a time of din net says right it is no no weddings no hair cutting Etc right and the Mambo is expounding it even more he said to a certain way it's like you know Rosh Hashanah music and have a haircut but that's how it should be it's a time of din and just like emotional a person he is more humble right no me and people have to go lucky when it comes to you know hello it's all calms down a bit you know he's a bit more contrite he's a bit more humble more willing to accept Musa you speak to a guy like no Springtime happy enough to go back planning his holiday in Georgia right in some five-star hotels I'm telling him you know either my ball and Muslims control and the guys like give me a break you know I want to enjoy myself when it comes to you know adults or you know most people you know we hope are a bit more willing to accept right so that's also the reason why we do it now you understand because it's a time when things are like you know people are trying a bit more willing to accept of it that's another reason another reason brought down a fourth reason this is a I wrote down the kitsues I want to read in a minute expand on this beautifully apparently in times of yule yeah uh the springtime was a time when people started the new types of medications or healing yeah it was done in the spring summer time we understand the winter people yummy and it's all free to ever most places are cold and this and that if you're just trying not to get too ill do you understand and in the summer they're trying to build themselves up you know what I mean they're going to be out exercises that whatever they need to do for that body physically to you know work themselves strong Etc and if a person he says is a time of refua for the body so you throw kadoshima him we don't just try and heal the body we try and heal the soul we want to heal our soul right and how do we heal the Soul by uh working on me dots because I like a melody yeah a sign which is saying bad right sandwich is not good it's an illness says um he says that he says two ideas two concepts one he says about when you saying Hashem says right I am I am the doctor I'm the doctor over here apparently major says that all the different herbs that exist and told him how each one can cure and Hashem said but you don't need it because you've got you won't have to come on to their khateva of this medicine or that potion or whatever it is he won't need it and I can say um sorry Hashem gave them in the river gave them it says when they were tested over there they wanted to see if you keep Shabbat to keep them with them you'll be healed right and therefore we should realize that the Chariot when he talks about Empire I think the second reason the first reason when he says what are the ways for a person to come to do teshuva is one is when a person gets history and he says that when a person physics suffers physically he said that it's just a manifestation of his spiritual illness because it says are just a sickness of the Soul you understand and the effective person physically and then he says um he says we found in last week's power shot to the beautiful idea now we just last week he says that um this person had a leprosy but we know he came to spell Russian horror he's got leprosy now if you ask a doctor what is going to make a person better to put him in solitary confinement is not going to help the guy get better he doesn't get depressed he's going to get down when a person's like that oh man oh yeah all the literature and medicine will tell you that's the worst thing to do send him a uh you know what's it called a thingy clown well they call it the medical a what yeah the worst thing go to a laughter laughter Clinic there's such a thing right they say and there is one in England there were some doctor years ago tried to cure people from cancer with laughing in a laughter Clinic because it releases the Endorphin whatever it is in the body and it helps the body heal much much quicker more than any medicine it's unbelievable so they say you're crazy we've seen this guy with Leprosy this is going to get better isn't it worse the daughter says no send him to get better and he says into this why because why do you get lost in horror why did you why do you get the the illness because now we said to benign says come because it's right so therefore that's the best place for him to go be there have a levenish bar think about what am I doing over here yeah get depressed yeah in for a good sense and clean up your act and then you get and then you get better physically it's true and he says in the pursuit it says in the pursuit it says um when it comes back we are talking and behold the the Nega the leprosy rather the illness has been has been healed from the leper so he says one minute says the leper has been healed from the malady of leprosy not the the the leprosy has been healed from the leper you get it wait a minute no that the person the subject is the leper and the leper has healed not the leprosy has gone from the leper doesn't make any sense foreign the illness is gone from the taru I mean the US came from the leper himself it went away because they left himself because he did Trevor so the illness went away get it so therefore he's in a second of all another reason why the Messiah between these times because it's referred to a nephesh now um yeah so now I wanted to say the the good morning try and make things neat we'll do it next week says he should keep the words whatever it is business all these things that's what you shouldn't become accosted to them foreign he say says that he says right um and he says that if a person wants to reach from all areas so he says English expounds on there are three categories right because within between him and himself how a person thinks what he does you understand regardless of anyone else right regardless of you know learning to harm yourself between the mashem there's a person how he how he views himself you understand so he says like this these are the three things I said over here meaning in the zikane is right that's all the laws but you know Etc foreign it was a robin Soho in the 30s which was then was okay whoever and he says his followers um it says you should keep what it says and he says therefore the meaning is that when we say between in the summer months it's not just to say qualifications sit down and Mumble it off you have to keep it he says a thousand times he says it won't do anything to you right therefore he says it's a tremendous thing which means we're gonna do to sit down and learn and delve and understand and therefore
