I saw in the shimm from David and this is his shurim on his so there's a volume of from it's called and in hash you can get your hands on the safer it's a lot of the the brisken there's a ton there but either way so he brings and this is on page he says So the was very and he was very and when he would wash his hands he would use a lot of water. He was once staying in an inn. So when he checked out and he got his uh invoice, said there was a line item for all the water that he used while he was staying there as a guest and told he said he knows. It says that when arrives, right, they went ahead and they gave they gave him food and they even gave water. It always bothered me. What was the big deal that they offered a little bit of water? said to this he said now I understand the base he said this was a was a hotel and in hotels that's what he said but either way this is the story said about the he said someone once came over to the lady you can't say it better than the briskets you might as well just read it inside he said why So in this mitzvah the original was meant for and today we don't even have so this came to the he says today you don't have truma today you don't Why are you being so told him I want to tell you a story? He was very very wealthy and he built for himself this magnificent mansion. And in one area in the mansion he made a door. It was made of wood. It was something very unique and it was literally made with gold after many years. He lost all his money and slowly slowly had to liquidate all his possessions and he had to sell everything that he owned. But that one special door that he had in his mansion, he refused to sell. You know, when you had a mansion, it makes sense to have this really cool door, but now you don't have the house anymore. So, what are you doing with this door? You can use the money. He told him, "As long as I'm holding on to this door, this is proof. This is my way of holding on to some element of the wealth that I once had a little something to show that I have faith that maybe everything is going to turn around. But if I'm going to sell the store, it's going to prove that I've completely given up hope. He said all these mitzvah that we once had this is all these are things we don't have anymore. THERE'S ONE MITZVAH WE CAN DO THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH fascinating as long from a practical standpoint being today doesn't make a lot of sense but to me the BI what he saw with his piercing eyes. This was his way of holding on to the mitzvah of trauma even in our galas to show that and that one day we'll have truma again and when we have truma again you're going to have to wash. So I'm going to continue to accustom myself to wash my hands before because and this is going to be true in the world and at that point at that point this is going to be something that will be so relevant because of the truma. Today there's no of but that's if you live in a world of years. But if you live in the world of that even in today's world you you're living you understand that truma can can [clears throat] be something that we're going to have to do today something that we're going to have to do tomorrow. And the element of truma and he said holding on to this is our way of showing that we weren't mish that we have tikvah and we believe that one day we're going to have the mitzvah of truma again. That's why the basi counterintuitively was no mahm in the Indian of Nativil.
