learned yesterday the secret of the אלף בית. So we went up. אלף בית is אלף בינה, so teach בינה. גימל דלת is גמול דלים, and give give us for the poor people. And we explained a few details. Yeah, and then we're holding here. Hey, ו׳. מאי, wait in the middle of this order, huh? סימן ס״ט, in the middle of סימן ס״ט. Okay, we'll start from here. מאי טעמא מהדר אפיה דדל״ת מגימ״ל? Oh, we learned this already, that why is the face of the דלת turned away from the גימל? דלת represents the דל, the poor man who receives the money, גימל is גומל, gives. Why is the face of the דלת away from the גימל? דליתן ליה בצינעא, so he's giving him, shouldn't see his face, give it him quietly, כי היכי דלא ליכסוף. ליכסוף means that he shouldn't be embarrassed. So we

have אלף בית, גימל דלת, ה׳ ו׳. זה שמו של הקדוש ברוך הוא, the Eibershter's name. We have a lashon which says אני והוא הושיעה נא, so הוא there is without a ו׳, without a אלף I mean, הוא, him, but ה׳ ו׳ is the Eibershter's name. ז׳ ח׳, and we'll see the המשך, ז׳ ח׳, ט׳ י׳, כ׳ ל׳. What are these words? Okay, so let's read like this: אם אתה עושה כן, if you'll do what we said before, two things, אלף בית, אלף בינה, teach learning, and גימל דלת, גמול דלים, then will come the ה׳ ו׳, which is the Eibershter, and then what will the Eibershter do? ז׳ ח׳ is זנך וחנך. זנך, the ז׳ is זן, he feeds you, supports you, וחנך, he'll give you chen, he'll give you grace. The ט׳, ומטיב לך. ט׳ is from the word טוב, it will be good to you. ונותן לך ירושה, the י׳ is ירושה, you'll get a ירושה. And וקושר לך כתר, the כ׳ is כתר, you'll get a crown, and the ל׳, לעולם הבא. ל׳ is עולם, the main main letter of the word עולם is a ל׳, you'll get לעולם הבא. So that's how we go. So if you do אלף בית גימל דלת, then ה׳ ו׳ will give you ז׳ ח׳ ט׳ י׳ כ׳ ל׳. Then we have מ׳. So

מ׳, we have two מ׳s, we said. Actually that's the whole המשך to before, because we learned that the מ׳ and ס׳ in the לוחות were בנס, so the Gemara brought this in. So מ״ם פתוחה מ״ם סתומה. We have an open מ׳, מ׳ that's in the middle of the word, מ״ם סתומה, a closed מ׳. And that represents מאמר. The מ׳ is a ראשי תיבות for the word מאמר. מאמר means saying, which means Torah. So there's a מ״ם פתוחה, מאמר פתוח ומאמר סתום. There is the open Torah, the revealed Torah, the hidden Torah. הפשט is there is פנימיות התורה, hidden Torah. ארבעים? All Torah is, it's connected to ארבעים, yeah, Torah was given in forty days. But here we have two מ׳s. נ׳, we also have two נ׳s: נו״ן כפופה נו״ן פשוטה, a bent נ׳, a regular נ׳, and then a נ׳, a long נ׳. What is it? נאמן כפוף נאמן פשוט. נאמן is somebody who is trustworthy, which means a kasher, a feine yid. באידיש, it's אדם כשר. A kasher'e yid. It doesn't mean kasher, a כשר'ע ייד ממה נפשך. Kasher means a person who is a feine yid. Someone heard from somebody, I mentioned this once, that how we call a, a rebbe comes from a state, a gute yid. You call him a gute yid. So so the

guy told me, I think it was Mendel Garelik, he heard it, somebody heard it, it's a Teymener, was a Sephardi. So he hears someone saying a gute yid is coming, so he says, he couldn't speak Yiddish, he says, \"What is a gute yid?\" So we call, our rebbeim are called a gute yid. But they translate it, a gute yid is a good Jew, a יהודי טוב. So, \"You never heard such a title? You had a tzaddik, a chasid, a kasher, this a יהודי טוב?\" Then he thinks and he thinks. Yeah, remind himself. The Rema says in הלכות מילה, I didn't look it up, the Rema says in הלכות מילה that for a sandak you should take a יהודי טוב. A gute yid. A siman that there's such a title. So here also you have יהודי, אדם כשר, a kasher'e yid. So Which kashrut? OU? Yeah, kasher. By an עבד it's a לשון כשר. But a סתם עבד, yeah, yeah, an עבד כשר. So the נ׳ is a bent נ׳ and a פשוט'ע. So נאמן means a trustworthy, a כשר'ע ייד. So you have to be כפוף. כפוף means bent, you have to be an ענו. But then also if you are נאמן כפוף, you will become a נאמן פשוט. Then the שכר will be now you're bent, you're like בטל, you'll go to עולם הבא and then you'll will stand straight, and then you'll get everything you have to get. סמך, עין is סמוך עניים, support poor people. Lashon acher, another פשט, סימנים עשה בתורה וקניה, make simanim in Torah, and then you'll be able to קנה תורה. That means that there's

a lot of times you want to know try to remember who said what, which amora, which מאן דאמר said. And so then there's a simanim. It's a very important thing to make simanim for Torah. That gives you a a it makes you remember. What's the siman of ז' מצוות בני נח? What's the siman of the משקים? There are seven משקים, seven liquids which make things tamei, which are מכשיר לקבל טומאה. Which are they? So you make a siman: יד שח דם. Everyone knows that's how that You can remember it. There's a word that the words don't make sense, but it's the word יד שח דם, a hand shed blood. What does that mean? יד is י, ד: יין, דבש, שמן, חלב, טל, דם, מים. You remember it. Then you have the the ז' מצוות ז' מצוות דרבנן. You make a siman. So the Rebbe brings a siman: נוע בשמחה. In the Haggadah Yeah, דצ״ך עד״ש באח״ב, yeah. It's נוע בשמחה. The word נוע בשמחה means move, נון, עין, move in happiness. But that's it's תם words, but it's So what's נוע בשמחה? נטילת ידים, עירובין, ברכות, Shabbos, it means נרות Shabbos, Megillah, Chanukah, and Hallel. So it, but if you don't remember, it's easy to remember, but if you have a remez, a siman, you remember. יל״ק ביג״ם, it says there's halacha like Abaye only in six parts in Shas, six halachot. Always halacha like Rava. יל״ק ביג״ם. יל״ק ביג״ם is roshei teivot, different halachot. You have to learn it, be in it. Is there like a sefer that has all those simanim? You know what, I didn't see it, but I imagine there is. Can't imagine that someone no one did this. Nowadays there's a sefer for everything. I would imagine someone collected all the simanim probably. A lot of times in Gemara before a sugya, the Gemara asks kashyos, there's in brackets simanim, just to know who what the kashyos are. So he says you'll do simanim. So סמך, עין: סימנים עשה. Make simanim in תורה וקניה. פ, we

have also two פ's: פ כפופה, פ פשוטה, the bent פ, the regular פ, and the long פ. What is that? פה פתוח, פה סתום, an open mouth and a closed mouth. Sometimes you got to open your mouth and then you got to close your mouth. Gemara says in a different place, בשעת מכניסים פזר, that means when you see that other people are not doing anything to do things to help this, then you open your mouth. If you see other people are doing it, then you stay away, don't do it. So sometimes your פ has to be open, sometimes your mouth has to be closed. צדיק כפופה, צדיק פשוטה, then you have a צדיק, and you also have two of them: the round צדיק, the bent צדיק, and the simple צדיק. What is the the remez here? צדיק כפוף, צדיק פשוט. The word is צדי, the letter's name is צדי. We're so used to saying the word צדיק because when we read Alef Beis we say like סמך, עין, פ, צדיק, קוף. Right after צדי comes קוף, so we're so used to saying צדי, and then קוף, so it comes out צדיק, but it's not so pashut. I remember once when מרכז gave out like the the the thing of Alef Beis, the cards, the Alef Beis cards, so I remember when they wrote, they wrote on the letter צדיק, and they wrote on the side: צדי. And the רבי fixed it to write צדיק. Right to it צדיק. Because it became so accepted accepted that the letter is called צדיק. But here the remez is, it's taka צדיק. A צדיק כפוף, your צדיק is bent, because you have when you're a צדיק, you're anav, but then later you will be pashut. Did we learn מלאפום? Yeah. Okay, I know, it says both places. But, do we teach it? Like Yeah. It says in Siddur, I never actually, you know, heard מלאפום. Yeah, when I was a kid, they taught me מלאפום. Really? Yeah. Here, in this school, they never heard of it. I don't know. It says both in the It's called different names. For the the the simanim for the keriah: פשטא, מונח, זרקא. You look in other, in the Sefardim, or from other communities, they have different they're called, they're, yeah, they diff, no, not only the sound is different, they call them different names. The names are different. And even in the ניקודות, Rashi in Chumash, a lot of times when he first start patach calls it, פתח קטן, גדול. It has different names in dikduk, so they have different anyway. So צדיק כפוף, צדיק פשוט, the tzadik that's bent, the tzadik that's an anav, and then the tzadik later will get pashut. פרעגט די גמרא: היינו נאמן כפוף, נאמן פשוט. That's what we said before. A nun, we also said ne'eman is a person אדם כשר, we said, a good guy, good, a feiner yid. So you have a feiner yid that's bent, and then he gets, so it's the same thing tzadik. So the Gemara says, no, you're right, it's the same thing, but הוסיף לך הכתוב כפיפה על כפיפתו. It adds more, in other words, the first thing, you'll be kafuf, but then it gives another letter: be more kafuf. Be a tzadik kafuf. מכאן שניתנה תורה במעמד בהרכנת ראש. מאיפה מצינו that the Torah was given with the move of a hand, I mean of head? But actually what it means, the Torah was given with extra anavah. The Torah was given so a person should not stam be an anav, should be humble, but be extra humble. ק' is kadosh, holy. ר' is rasha. Now who's the kadosh? The Eibershter, he's the Kadosh. Hakadosh Baruch Hu. מאי טעמא מהדר אפיה דק' מר'? Why is the face of the ק' turned away from the ר'? Because the ק' is this way, the ר' is right here, and the ק' is away. אמר הקדוש ברוך הוא, אינני יכול להסתכל ברשע. The ק', the kadosh, cannot look at the rasha. So they made it that his face is away, can't look at his face. Halachah says nobody should look in the face of a rasha. אסור להסתכל בפני אדם רשע, you are not allowed to look at a rasha. But the Eibershter doesn't want to look at him either. How come the ר' is away from the ק'? No, the ר' is the ק' is first, then the ר' is. So, but the ק', see, it's not facing each other. The ר', if it would be this way, and you'd say the ק' is this way and the ר' is they are facing each other, but it's this way. The ר' is with So the ר' is facing away, back to back. Right. So the ר' ק' is go, but lemaaseh, the ק' is not the Eibershter made it so the alef bet should be that the ק' should not see the ר'. Why is the like a ז' and a ו' Yeah. and the other way is that they face each other. Like a ח' is made of a ו' and a ז'. Anyway, That's my question. why is in the written the the ק' is made from a ר' and a ן'? A ן'? A ר' and a ו' maybe. In two places, like this in the written The ק' is like this and like this. A lange ן', yeah. Lange ן', it's sticking out. The bottom, it's like a ו'. A ק' and a ו', but the ו' is sticking out. ר' and a ו'. Why using that for a ק' in written? It's not a ר', it's not really like a ר'. This! They're all They're all And it's all based on a ה'. The three letters ק', ר', ח', קרח is a mixed up ה'. ק' is like a ה', right? Like this, and then you have on this side. The problem is that the going down long longer than the line. The ר' is like a ה' missing the the thing, and the ח' is like a ה' just it's connected. So קרח represents what ה' is in the wrong way. All the אריכות in the The Rebbe is מסביר. Is ד' also? Huh? ד'. No. ד' looks like a ר'. ד' ד' looks like a ר'. Oh, yeah, and ד' a lot of times interchanges with ר'. A lot of times a ד' interchanges with ר', and a כ' with a ב' because they look alike. When you say אחד with a big ד', so you don't read like אחר. To make sure it's not a ר', yeah. Okay. ומאי טעמא מהדר תגא דק' לגבי ר'? Why is that the tag, the the the the corner, the point, the crown of the of the ק' is towards the ר'? אמר הקדוש ברוך הוא, the ק' is the Aibershter, the Aibershter says, אם חוזר בו, אני קושר לו כתר כמותי. If he does teshuvah, I'm giving him a crown. So he's he's showing he's like he doesn't look in his face because he doesn't like him because he's a rasha, but he tells him at the same time, you know, do teshuvah and then you'll get a crown. Keep it all open. Yes. ומאי טעמא כרעיה דק' תלויה? Why is the the foot of the ק' hanging? So he says, דאי הדר ביה ליעייל בהך. If he does teshuvah, there's a way to get in. It's like that was like a ה'. A ה' says the same thing. A ה' is an is open on the bottom and it's open on top. A ח' is not. What's like a chiluk? A ח' like this, the bottom is פתח. There's a פסוק, לפתח חטאת רובץ. If there's an opening, you can do aveirot. So you get in through the door, you've done an aveirah. So a ח', he's stuck, that's it, you can't get out. A ה', there's an opening there. That's why matzah is with a ה' and chametz is with a ח'. ומסייע לריש לקיש, fits to Reish Lakish. דאמר ריש לקיש, like you said, מאי דכתיב, a פסוק, אם ללצים הוא יליץ, if a person wants to go with the לצים, with the scoffers, can go, ולענוים יתן חן, but someone that's an עניו, the Aibershter will give חן. What does that mean? בא לטמא, פותחין לו. If someone wants to become bad, טמא, we'll open the door for him. If you want to be a לץ, go ahead. But בא לטהר, you want to become טהור, מסייעין אותו, they also help him. And the same thing here, the Aibershter helps him do teshuvah. There's a peshat that should have said הבא ליטהר, not לטהר. ליטהר means to make טהור somebody else. Okay, let's just learn, you know... Huh? Because mainly is when you want to help another Yid to become good, then פותחין לו, that's when you're real... Not as not as much. Both, but... Yeah. ש' is שקר, and ת' is אמת, because the ת' is a main letter in the word אמת. מאי טעמא שקר מקרבן מיליה, אמת מרחקן מיליה? Why שקר, the three letters שקר are next to each other, ש', ק', ר'? That's the seder, ק', ר', ש'. But emet, א' is the beginning of the Alef Bet, מ' is the middle, ת' is last. דשקרא שכיח, קושטא לא שכיח. Because a sheker is common. It's very close, and emet is not so common. And then and then מאי טעמא שקרא אחדא כרעא קאי ואמת מלבן מלבן? Sheker, the word sheker, all three letters are on a point. The ש comes to a point, you can't stand on a point, the ק comes to a point, the ר comes to a point. But emet, emet is always the word the א has two feet to stand, the מ has a line at the bottom, the ת has two feet, דקושטא קאי שקרא לא קאי, because emet stays and lies, sheker doesn't stay.
