בשמחת תורה. בשמחת תורה שאדט נישט קיין עין הרע. Not only בשמחת תורה. Yeah. Remember the רבה would talk sometimes, שמחת תורה used to talk about something, and something like negative, he says, \"נא, בשמחת תורה שאדט נישט.\" It's known that the שבעים שנה the הרש״ב, no, שמחת תורה שאדט נישט קיין עין הרע, שאדט גארנישט. שמחת תורה, you could say things which normally you can't say. And so it says clearly you could give two brothers next to each other. It says in הלכה. We do it anyhow. Because I'm I'm calling them all Right, right, right, right, I'm saying, but we're We're calling all the But that's not a ראיה it's right, because we do it. I'm just saying it says it. It says that what we're doing is based on what it says. What if Usually we try to do what's right. Right, we try to do what's right, and this what is we do. Not only that, other דינים also. למשל חתן בראשית, you could give to a to a חתן תורה, you could give to a כהן or a לוי, even though normally it doesn't fit. רב שמואל לעוויטין, a לוי, used to get חתן תורה, whatever. I mean, that all these הגדרות on שמחת תורה is an exception. Give a קידוש, a משקה. There are other things, too. Okay, if you die, you can do anything. After that! What about it says about looking at somebody else's plate? I don't know who said it. What is that, an עין הרע, or what is that about? Says you shouldn't, when someone has food, you shouldn't like look at the plate and Yeah, you shouldn't like look at, \"Hey, how can you throw up such a big plate?\" I saw once in ישיבה, with a בחור, with a בחור, we were still kids, and someone told him that, and he didn't eat. He has an עין הרע on the food, he's full. זה האמא של הרבי? האמא של הרבי, מה כתבה? no? Yeah. A

man come to her to her house, and so on, and he was looking on the bread, she she had to give to him, no? Says she had to give, or she wanted to give it to him? She gave it to him. She gave it to him, but for a different reason, cuz she she felt that he's hungry. No, he The way he looks Yeah, no, but not because of עין הרע. There there the story was she she came, she saw how hungry he was, even though she said that's the only bread she had. Only bread. Whatever it's called, but she gave it away to him because he hasn't eat for three days, and again, that showed a חסד. It's not I don't think it says עין הרע, I don't think it was. No. She said the way he look on the bread. Right, she saw that he was so hungry! So hungry. So he gave, so she gave it away. Yeah. I don't I don't I never heard about that. So how did רש״י feel? עשו made an עין הרע on יעקב? Because there wasn't an עין הרע. צדיק It's a good עין הרע! But she put עין הרע on הגר. Yeah, if he's asking a צדיק should do it, yeah, a good עין הרע! To some people you have to put an עין הרע. You know that if you have a small child who is beautiful, there's a מנהג to say he's כושי. Yeah, well רש״י in חומש says it on on ציפורה. Black, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's saying black. You have a beautiful child, you know? Yeah. When you say somebody and a woman and you say if you want to say she's very dressed up, she's dressed up So, in Yiddish how would you say it? אנגעטאן אין אין עסיג און אין האניק. האניק is honey, and עסיג is Why does it say עסיג and האניק? For that reason! If you want to say so אנגעטאן אין עסיג און אין האניק. What is עסיג? עסיג is is vinegar and honey. Vinegar and honey. So they say if you want to say dressed like honey, so so you add the word vinegar. Vinegar. Yeah, so it's against עין הרע, it says a lot of things. And בכלל

when you say, \"Oh, there were so many people there,\" you always add בלי עין הרע. בלי עין הרע. So, if if they're so sensitive to עין הרע, why do they make such a big חתונה? Who? Everybody. If they're worried about עין הרע, then don't make out such a big, fancy חתונה. I'm not saying a like a חתונה. I'm just saying when you see there was a group of people there, a lot of people, how many how many people came to שול? Came to, \"200 people, בלי עין הרע, came.\" Don't be jealous! That's עין הרע. That's what That's why That's why he's not making a big חתונה! Are you going to a חתונה? You got to laugh, because you got a חתונה at the end of the day. There's no עצה to it. And you love to It's not You can't You shouldn't make a spend so much money for a different reason, that's cuz it's בזבוז of money, but עין הרע, I mean, you have to do what everything you have to do. But we always we always add you ask somebody, \"How old is this child?\" So, you always say, Okay, he's five, so you add always, \"ביז הונדערט און צוואנציג.\" Why do you have to add, \"ביז הונדערט און צוואנציג\"? \"How many children does he have?\" \"How many children?\" Yeah, yeah. And once somebody went by dollars We

had an event by dollars. went by, and he told the רבה by Sunday by dollars, \"היינט איז ביי מיר געבוירן געווארן the 35th אייניקל today.\" I remember he gave a number, the 35th אייניקל. So, the רבה said, \"מען ציילט נישט קיין אייניקלעך. You don't count אייניקלעך.\" Okay, good. In other words, for the same reason. You don't Yeah, you don't count. And then, \"How many then?\" \"Well, how many? ברוך השם. ברוך השם, a lot.\" Okay. Move five there. Another two lines. \"כההוא דאמר: גד גדי וסנוקלאי, אשכח בושכי.\" that there used to be an expression then, it's like this, רש״י brings in פסחים, yeah. גד גדי, גד is לשון מזל. When she When גד was born she said בא גד, that רש״י says a מזל, a good מזל came. So the guy says an expression, גד גדי, the מזל, my מזל should be good, וסנו כלי, I shouldn't be tired, אשכח ובושכי, day and night. Saying that, יש בהם משום דרכי האמורי. That is דרכי האמורי. Why? Because I guess the גוים, that comes from the גוים and they would say it. רב יהודה אומר, not only דרכי האמורי, גד אינו אלא לשון עבודה זרה. גד is עבודה זרה, שנאמר, it says, העורכים לגד שולחן, that those people used to make a table for גד, for עבודה זרה. But we have one of the שבטים is גד. I know. But when you say these things, it came from עבודה זרה. You have other things.

תמוז, תמוז is one of the months. תמוז was a שם עבודה זרה. There's nothing wrong with saying the word תמוז, no? No, חס ושלום. Nobody's saying If you say this expression, what that meant תמוז is עבודה זרה. תמוז is a name of an עבודה זרה, how does that come about? There's a whole שיחה. That is, well, I think it's, again, it's the בירור, בירור עבודה זרה. We'll learn together. הוא בשמו והיא בשמה? There used to be by some people that at night they used to call themselves by the opposite names. He called her by his name and she called him by her name. And that's, I don't know, in order for some, you know, voodoo things. That's not what it says here. This is in a different ענין, even there. הוא והיא שמחליפין שמותיהם זה בזה בלילה יש בהם משום דרכי האמורי. It's some kind of voodoo thing. It came from the דרכי האמורי. Then it says ווייטער. If a guy says, דון דיני, דני, let my It's an expression. Let my חביות, my jars of wine, become strong. יש בהם משום דרכי האמורי. Well, the גמרא knew which things had a source of קדושה, which things came from from גוים. רבי יהודה אומר, even worse, אין דן אלא לשון עבודה זרה. דן is עבודה זרה, שנאמר, it says, הנשבעים באשמת שומרון ואמרו חי אלוקיך דן. He says it's חי אלוקיך דן, they said it was עבודה זרה as well. Okay, one more we'll learn.

והאומר לעורב צרח, לעורבת שריקי, והחזירי זנבך לטובה. This is what they used to say. They used to say to an עורב, to a bird, scream, and to a a עורבת, which is a female one, they would say שריקי, it's another way of screaming, and turn your tail to me for the good. Because birds, בכלל, when they come, it's a סימן. Birds Birds used to bring צרות. They used to bring you know, they used to send messages with birds. So it's a סימן. Somebody says if a bird flies into your house it's definitely not a good סימן. But if you say this לשון, יש בהם משום דרכי האמורי, because this is the way the גוים used to say. Huh? A rabbit, you have a good luck piece of a rabbit's tail. גוייאישע מעשיות.
