Drinking a Revi'it of Wine and Its Effects

ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื™ื”ื•ื“ื” ืืžืจ ืฉืžื•ืืœ ื›ืœ ื”ืฉื•ืชื” ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช ื™ื™ืŸ. Exactly the same place. Yeah, when Monday? Yeah. Doesn't here, doesn't have a ืกื™ืžืŸ. Okay, ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื™ื”ื•ื“ื” ืืžืจ ืฉืžื•ืืœ, ืจื‘ ื™ื”ื•ื“ื” said in the name of ืฉืžื•ืืœ: ื›ืœ ื”ืฉื•ืชื” ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช ื™ื™ืŸ ืืœ ื™ื•ืจื”. If someone drinks a ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช of wine, he's not allowed to ืคืกืง. We actually started this already. We're holding a little bit further. Okay, ื˜ืืงืข, let's go a little bit further. We learned that yesterday, but it's a little bit further here. ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื”ื•ื ื No, ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื ื‘ืจ ืื‘ื. Exactly where it is. ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื ื‘ืจ ืื‘ื. A little bit further, in the middle of the next page, closer to the bottom, about four or five lines from the bottom. But four or five Yeah, ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื ื‘ืจ ืื‘ื: ื“ืจืš ื“ืจืš ืžื™ืœ, walking a ืžื™ืœ, a ืžื™ืœ is close to a kilometer, that's about the amount, ื•ืฉื™ื ื”, walking a ืžื™ืœ and sleeping, ื›ืœ ืฉื”ื•ื, any type of nap, ืžืคื™ื’ื™ืŸ ืืช ื”ื™ื™ืŸ. So if you're ืฉื™ื›ื•ืจ, it takes away the influence of the wine. Sobers you up. ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื” ื‘ืจ ืื‘ื•ื”, ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said in the name of ืจื‘ื” ื‘ืจ ืื‘ื•ื”: ืœื ืฉื ื•, this was only said, ืืœื ืฉืฉืชื” ื›ื“ื™ ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช, if he drank exactly a ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช. ืื‘ืœ ืฉืชื” ื™ื•ืชืจ ืžืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช, if you drink more than a ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช, ื›ืœ ืฉื›ืŸ ืฉื“ืจืš ื˜ื•ืจื“ืชื•, it makes it worse. If you walk a little walk, it makes it even more drunk, ื•ืฉื™ื ื” ืžืฉื›ืจืชื•. And if you sleep, it makes you even more drunk. And sometimes you see, if you drink a little bit more than you should, you go to sleep, and then you wake up, you're completely ืžื‘ื•ืœื‘ืœ. You wake up completely, so it's worse. ื“ืขืŸ ืคืจืขื’ื˜ ื“ื™ ื’ืžืจื: ืื‘ืขืจ ื“ืจืš ืžื™ืœ ืžืคื™ืง ื”ื™ื™ืŸ? He said normally if you walk a ืžื™ืœ, it sobers you up from the wine, ื•ื”ืชื ื™ื, there is a ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื that says like this:

Raban Gamliel's Donkey Tale and Halachic Lessons

ืžืขืฉื” ื‘ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ ืฉื”ื™ื” ืจื•ื›ื‘ ืขืœ ื”ื—ืžื•ืจ, once ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ was riding a donkey, ื•ื”ื™ื” ืžื”ืœืš ืžืขื›ื• ืœื›ื–ื™ื‘, and he was going from the city of ืขื›ื• to the city of ื›ื–ื™ื‘, ื•ื”ื™ื” ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขืื™ ืžื”ืœืš ืื—ืจื™ื•, and ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขืื™ was following behind him. ืžืฆื ื’ืœื•ืกืงื ื‘ื“ืจืš, they found like a loaf of bread, or a cake, in the road. ืืžืจ ืœื™ื”, so he said to ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขืื™: ืืœืขืื™, ื˜ื•ืœ ื’ืœื•ืกืงื ื–ื• ืžืŸ ื”ื“ืจืš! Pick up this loaf of bread from the road. Okay? ืžืฆื ื ื›ืจื™ ืื—ื“, then he found a ื’ื•ื™. ืืžืจ ืœื™ื”, he said: ืžื’ื‘ื•ื™ ืžื’ื‘ื•ื™ Could be he said it to No, it's in the middle of the road. Don't put it in the middle of the road. So he said to him: ืžื’ื‘ื•ื™, ื˜ื•ืœ ื’ืœื•ืกืงื ื–ื• ืžืŸ ืืœืขืื™! Take this loaf of bread from ืืœืขืื™! ื ื“ื‘ืง ื‘ื• ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขืื™, so ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขืื™ went over, got close to this ื’ื•ื™. ืืžืจ ืœื™ื”, he said to the ื’ื•ื™: ืžื”ื™ื›ืŸ ืืชื”? Where are you from? ืืžืจ ืœื™ื”, he says: I look from ืžืขื™ื™ืจื•ืช ืฉืœ ื‘ื•ืจื’ื ื™ืŸ, I'm from the cities around ื‘ื•ืจื’ื ื™ืŸ. ืžื” ืฉืžืš? What's your name? ืžื’ื‘ื•ื™ ืฉืžื™! My name is actually ืžื’ื‘ื•ื™! So he asks him: ื›ืœื•ื ื”ื›ื™ืจืš ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ ืžืขื•ืœื? ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ ever knew you, he ever met you? He called you by your name, how did he know you? ืืžืจ ืœื™ื”, he says: ืœืื•. No, he never saw me and never met me. ื‘ืื•ืชื” ืฉืขื” ืœืžื“ื ื•, from that moment we realized, ืฉื›ื™ื•ื•ืŸ ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ ื‘ืจื•ื— ื”ืงื•ื“ืฉ, that ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ with ืจื•ื— ื”ืงื•ื“ืฉ knew his name. That's one thing we saw, we realized ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ has ืจื•ื— ื”ืงื•ื“ืฉ. And then, ื’ืณ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืœืžื“ื ื• ื‘ืื•ืชื” ืฉืขื”, we learned three ื”ืœื›ื•ืช at that moment from this story. ืœืžื“ื ื•, we learned, ืฉืื™ืŸ

Prohibition Against Passing By Food on the Ground

ืžืขื‘ื™ืจื™ืŸ ืขืœ ื”ืื•ื›ืœื™ืŸ, we learned that you're not allowed to pass by food. It's not only ืคืฉื˜ people think ืžืขื‘ื™ืจื™ืŸ ืขืœ ื”ืื•ื›ืœื™ืŸ means you're not allowed to step on food. That's not the ืคืฉื˜. If you see food on the floor, you're not allowed to pass by without picking it up. So we see that what happened, when he passed by, he saw that bread, he told ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขืื™: Pick it up, take it. ื•ืœืžื“ื ื•, we learned, ืฉืžื”ืœื›ื™ืŸ ืื—ืจ ืจื•ื‘ ืขื•ื‘ืจื™ ื“ืจื›ื™ื, that when you want to know is this a ื›ืฉืจ bread or not, that is, is it ืคืช ืขื›ื•ืดื or not? So most people who pass by are ื’ื•ื™ื, so obviously he didn't tell ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขืื™ to take it and keep it, because ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขืื™ is not allowed to eat it. Why not? 'Cause we assume it goes after most of the people who walk by, and most of them are ื’ื•ื™ื. So we see from here that we follow ืจื•ื‘ ืขื•ื‘ืจื™ ื“ืจื›ื™ื. ื•ืœืžื“ื ื•, we learned another ื“ื™ืŸ, ืฉื—ืžืฆื• ืฉืœ ื ื›ืจื™ ืื—ืจ ื”ืคืกื— ืžื•ืชืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, that ื—ืžืฅ of a ื’ื•ื™ after ืคืกื— is ืžื•ืชืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. Because this must have been right after ืคืกื—, and he said to the ื’ื•ื™: Take it. And giving a ืžืชื ื” to a ื’ื•ื™ is ื”ื ืื”, because it's a ื˜ื•ื‘ืช ื”ื ืื”, you know, the ื’ื•ื™ will be nice to you and you have a ื˜ื•ื‘ืช ื”ื ืื”. That's why if you have ื—ืžืฅ, or anything that's ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, you're not allowed to give it away to a ื’ื•ื™, 'cause the ื’ื•ื™ will will thank you for it, you'll have a ื˜ื•ื‘ืช ื”ื ืื”. So here, when he told the ื’ื•ื™ to take it from him, shows that you're allowed to. So it's because it's even though it's ื—ืžืฅ ืื—ืจ ื”ืคืกื—, and ื—ืžืฅ ืฉืขื‘ืจ ืขืœื™ื• ื”ืคืกื— is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, but the ื—ืžืฅ of a ื’ื•ื™ is ืžื•ืชืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. ื—ืžืฅ after ืคืกื— Right. ื—ืžืฅ that belongs to a ื™ื™ื“ during ืคืกื—, that's called ื—ืžืฅ ืฉืขื‘ืจ ืขืœื™ื• ื”ืคืกื—. ื—ืžืฅ that ืคืกื— passed ื‘ืื™ืกื•ืจ. It's ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. But if it belongs to a ื’ื•ื™, it's not ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. How do you mean? Because it wasn't a ืื™ืกื•ืจ during ืคืกื—, so it's ืžื•ืชืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. Oh, because we sold it, it wasn't ours during ืคืกื—. No, by us we sold it, but in fact because this was not sold, this was ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื” ื’ื•ื™'s. Is there something said about giving a ื’ื•ื™ ืžืชื ืช ื—ื ื? Yeah. But this would be, yeah, but that would be a ื”ื™ืชืจ in this case. The fact we're saying you had a ื˜ื•ื‘ืช ื”ื ืื”, it's not a ืžืชื ืช ื—ื ื. It's to give it, no, but if you give it to a ื’ื•ื™ who you ื˜ืืงืข don't know, and you'll never see him and you don't know and you, that ื˜ืืงืข is not allowed, that's a ืžืชื ืช ื—ื ื. But then in this case wouldn't be a ืจืื™ื”. Wouldn't be a ืจืื™ื” it's ืžื•ืชืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. Probably he said a good ื•ื•ืืจื˜ to him, it was in a case that he saw that he was ืžื—ื–ื™ืง ื˜ื•ื‘ื” to him. So if a ื’ื•ื™ is not ืžื—ื–ื™ืง ื˜ื•ื‘ื” then it's not, that's ื˜ืืงืข then it's ืืกื•ืจ because of ืžืชื ืช ื—ื ื. How about on ืคืกื—? On ืคืกื— what? What about it? What's the question by us? What, what? What did you say, ื”ื ืื”? Can he have ื”ื ืื”? You can't have ื”ื ืื” from ื—ืžืฅ on ืคืกื—. It belongs to the ื’ื•ื™. But how could you have ื”ื ืื” from a from ื—ืžืฅ? Could you eat ื—ืžืฅ, a ื’ื•ื™'s ื—ืžืฅ on ืคืกื—? What's the difference? Can you sit on it? Can you be in the shade? No. ื—ืžืฅ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื” no matter who it belongs to. For you to have ื”ื ืื”? A ื™ื™ื“ to have ื”ื ืื” from a ื’ื•ื™'s ื—ืžืฅ? It's a ืื™ืกื•ืจ ื”ื ืื” of ื—ืžืฅ. What about ืื™ืกื•ืจ ืื›ื™ืœื”? ืื›ื™ืœื”... ืกืชื ื‘ืชื•ืจื” it's not ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, no? ืกืชื ืชื•ืจื” says it's ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. What's hard to understand is he's trying, it's hard to understand is what, he doesn't understand the ื”ื ืื” what you're getting from giving it to him. That's not, that's not what he's asking. He's asking me if you're allowed to have ื”ื ืื” from a ื’ื•ื™'s ื—ืžืฅ on ืคืกื—. Sure it's ืืกื•ืจ. ื—ืžืฅ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื” regardless who it is. The question is, when we talk about when we talk about ื—ืžืฅ of a ื’ื•ื™ is regarding ื‘ืœ ื™ืจืื” ื•ื‘ืœ ื™ืžืฆื. You're not allowed to own ื—ืžืฅ, and a ื’ื•ื™'s ื—ืžืฅ you're not ืขื•ื‘ืจ. Not ืขื•ื‘ืจ because it's not yours. ืฉืœืš, the ืชื•ืจื” says, ืœื ื™ืจืื” ืœืš. Can you make like a big deal off of what a ื’ื•ื™ has? Can you make what? A deal or whatever, on the soup? No, it's, if ื”ื ืื” it's not ื‘ืœ ื™ืจืื”, ื”ื ืื” is ืืกื•ืจ. ื”ื ืื” is ืืกื•ืจ. ื—ืžืฅ of a of any is ืืกื•ืจ. There is a ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช, a ืžืื“ื ืขืจ ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช in ืคืกื—ื™ื, which ืืœืข modernists, where he says a ื—ืžืฅ of a ื’ื•ื™ if it belongs ื—ืžืฅ of a ื’ื•ื™ or ื”ืคืงืจ is if it's ืžื•ืชืจ. It's a ืคืฉืขื˜ืœ, I didn't understand. It's a it's a ืคืืจืฉื˜ื™ื™ื˜ื™ืฉืขืจ ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช, I mean they ask what's the ืคืฉื˜, something is there. Normally there's no ืฉืืœื•ืช, I mean a ื’ื•ื™'s ื—ืžืฅ ื—ืžืฅ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ืื›ื™ืœื” ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. So where do we get it ื—ืžืฅ ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”? Where do we get this ื—ืžืฅ ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”? ื—ืžืฅ on ืคืกื—? Nein, where do we get it ื—ืžืฅ? ื—ืžืฅ of a ื“ืจื‘ื ืŸ, where do we get that ื—ืžืฅ ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”? How about from ืคืกื•ืง, it says ืœื ื™ืื›ืœ ื—ืžืฅ, no? ืœื ื™ืื›ืœ there's a whole ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช in second ืคืจืง ืคืกื—ื™ื, ืจ' ืื‘ื”ื•, ื—ื–ืงื™ื”, which ืคืกื•ืงื™ื we learn out it's ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, but ื—ืžืฅ is always ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. And has nothing to do who it belongs to. The difference who it belongs to is ื‘ืœ ื™ืจืื” ื•ื‘ืœ ื™ืžืฆื, cause there you're only ืขื•ื‘ืจ ื‘ืœ ื™ืจืื” it belongs to you. So if you have ื—ืžืฅ of a ื’ื•ื™ in your house you're not ืขื•ื‘ืจ. ืจื‘ื ืŸ said you have to make a ืžื—ื™ืฆื”. If you take ืื—ืจื™ื•ืช on the ื’ื•ื™'s, then you have a certain ื‘ืขืœ ื”ื‘ื™ืช'ื™ืฉืงื™ื™ื˜, that's ืืกื•ืจ. From the geld, but this is not what we're talking about. You shouldn't buy non-kosher food for your workers, for your ื’ื•ื™'ื™ืฉืข workers. If it's ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. Not everything is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. No, I mean we can't have... Not every treif food is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”.

Meat and Milk: Forbidden Benefit

ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. So? So not everything. ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, ื—ืžืฅ of ืคืกื— is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, ื—ื–ื™ืจ is not ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. Because that like ื”ื ืืช ื›ืœื”, ื”ื ืืช ืืฉื” ื”ื ืื” like we just said. So it's ืžื•ืชืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, no? Who says it's... only ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. A ื›ื ืขื ื™ cannot eat treif, a regular worker can eat. A ื’ื•ื™ could eat. But no, but if it, if you, ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘ you can't buy, you can't give your ื’ื•ื™ to eat, cause you have ื”ื ืื” from it. There's no ื”ื ืื”. No, ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, you can't sell it, you can't... The big problem that people have is with dog food. They're all, they're all... If it's ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘, it's a problem. That's the ืฉืืœื” there: are you allowed to work at a treif restaurant? So if it wouldn't be ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘, then it wouldn't, not such a big problem. But ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘ you have ื”ื ืื”, you're getting paid for working with ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘. ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘ you can't do anything with. Well, is there is there an ืื™ืกื•ืจ ื”ื ืื” from from ื ื‘ื™ืœื”? No. There's ืื™ืกื•ืจ ืกื—ื•ืจื”. ืืกื•ืจ ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืกื—ื•ืจื”. ...own hotels and whatever there's restaurants in there and a whole... It's not theirs, they're, after all, renters, whatever. If it belongs to you so you can't. You can buy them a cheeseburger. Cheeseburger you can't. No, not for ืื™ืกื•ืจ ื”ื ืื”. ืื™ืกื•ืจ ื”ื ืื” you can't. You confuse ืื™ืกื•ืจ ืกื—ื•ืจื” and ืื™ืกื•ืจ ื”ื ืื”? They're both ื”ื ืื”. By ืกื—ื•ืจื” you get more ื”ื ืื”. Okay. If so it's worse, all the rest. It's

Selling Forbidden Food: Business Prohibition

ืืกื•ืจ ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืกื—ื•ืจื” ื‘ื“ื‘ืจ ืืกื•ืจ. You can't make a business with treif food even if it's ืžื•ืชืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. Is that? It's a ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช. Some say that ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช says it's ื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื. ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช holds it's ื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื, so someone holds it's ื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื. What's the ืคืฉื˜? If you happen to go hunting and, yeah, and you catch ื˜ืจืคื” animals, you happen to get it, you're allowed to sell it, it's not ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. To make a business of selling ื˜ืจืคื” food, that's ืืกื•ืจ, that's an ืื™ืกื•ืจ. ืืกื•ืจ ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืกื—ื•ืจื” ื‘ื“ื‘ืจ ืืกื•ืจ. In other words, if you do it one time you go hunting It's not the word once. If it's ืžื–ื“ืžืŸ ืœื™ื“ืš, it just happens to, you happen to get. Let's say some food in your house became ื˜ืจืฃ. Not ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘, then it's ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. It became ื˜ืจืฃ. Some blood spilled on it. Wait, blood is not ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. You could sell it, because it's not ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, and you're not making a business out of it. But to make a business out of things which are ืืกื•ืจ Slaughterhouses. Yeah, exactly. They have ื˜ืจืคื” parts, they have they sell it to ื’ื•ื™ื, they sell it to ื’ื•ื™ื, because that's allowed. The ืฉืืœื” is, are you allowed to have a store, own a store which sells all kinds of things, and among the things it sells also ื˜ืจืคื” food? Are you allowed to open such a store? And it's not because it just happens to get, not that you happen to get ื˜ืจืคื” food. You're ordering, you're putting up on your shelves, you're putting up ื˜ืจืคื” food. So here you have ืกื‘ืจื Every hindquarter you are always selling to ื’ื•ื™ื. That's ืžื–ื“ืžืŸ. That's not, you're not making a business. Why ืžื–ื“ืžืŸ? Every single animal Doesn't mean how many times, you're not making you're making a business of ื›ืฉืจ food, ืœืคื•ืขืœ it turned out that there's a ื˜ืจืคื” part, and ื˜ืจืคื” parts that is not ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, you're allowed to sell. No, that means that there's there's ื’ื™ื“ ื”ื ืฉื” there, there's ื—ืœื‘ there. There is ื—ืœื‘ there. ื—ืœื‘ is ืžื•ืชืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. But ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื” you get the ื˜ืจืฃ. The difference is, for example, if excuse me, a slaughterhouse takes and sells the meals to a company, yeah, but it goes into the business of selling the ื˜ืจืคื” food, it packages and sells it as non-kosher food, because it's part of their Wouldn't they not allow it? There is a difference. Why would they not allow it? If they if it happens, it always happens, so they're making a business, but still they're allowed to. They sell to They're allowed to sell it. You can't start you can't make a business of selling ื˜ืจืคื” meat. You can't make a business of selling ื˜ืจืคื” meat. It is a business of ื˜ืจืคื” meat! No, but that's a business that comes ืื’ื‘ the ื›ืฉืจื”! Because you have ื›ืฉืจื”, and the only way you can have ื›ืฉืจื” is if you have ื˜ืจืคื” also, it doesn't say you have to throw it out! But to make a business, let's say a guy is going to open a store of selling pork, pork is not ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, but you can't make as a business out of it. The ืฉืืœื” is you open a store and you open it in the ื’ื•ื™ื™ืฉื” neighborhood and you want ื’ื•ื™ื™ืฉื” customers to come and you can't just sell ื›ืฉืจื” food, because they're not going to come, because if their ื˜ืจืคื” food they're going to have to go someplace else, so they're not going to come here and go. So here there is a ื”ื™ืชืจ, in the ืขืจื•ืš ื”ืฉื•ืœื—ืŸ there's a ื”ื™ืชืจ, whether we rely rely on it or not, but he writes a ื”ื™ืชืจ, that the ืชืฉื•ื‘ื” brings it, there's a ื”ื™ืชืจ because it's not called you're making a ืกื—ื•ืจื” of the ื“ื‘ืจ ืืกื•ืจ, you're making a ืกื—ื•ืจื” of the ื“ื‘ืจ ื”ืžื•ืชืจ, but in order to make sure the ื“ื‘ืจ ื”ืžื•ืชืจ make business, that's a ื”ื™ืชืจ. There's a discussion about it. A little bit more direct than what we were talking about. But but ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืกื—ื•ืจื”, that's ืืกื•ืจ. But ื”ื ืื”, it's ืžื•ืชืจ. ื—ืžืฅ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”, ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘ is ืืกื•ืจ ื‘ื”ื ืื”. deliver meals. deliver ื˜ืจืคื” meals. That's called ืกื—ื•ืจื” ื‘ื“ื‘ืจ ืืกื•ืจ. 100% ืืกื•ืจ. You're getting No! You're getting too close to home. You're not allowed to do it. You're not allowed to do ืืกื•ืจ ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืกื—ื•ืจื” ื‘ื“ื‘ืจ ืืกื•ืจ. They sell ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘. They sell ื‘ืฉืจ ื‘ื—ืœื‘. Don't get personal. What did we learn the ื’ืžืจื said, ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื said, ื”ืชื•ืจื” ื›ืกืชื• ื•ืืชื” ืžื’ืœื”ื•? Learned before that so there was someone told ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื, who is who was the the father of who was ืฆืœืคื—ื“, the father of who's ืฆืœืคื—ื“? So someone told him, who is it? He says the ืžืงื•ืฉืฉ ืขืฆื™ื. So he answered him, ื”ืชื•ืจื” ื›ืกืชื•, the ืชื•ืจื” didn't say the name, and you're coming and saying the name? I know. You were about to! We're smart enough. Anyway, it's not ื ื•ื’ืข ืœื ื•. What else were you ื•ื‘ื›ืœืœ there's a ื’ื“ืจ of ื”ื•ื™ ื“ืŸ ืืช ื›ืœ ื”ืื“ื ืœื›ืฃ ื–ื›ื•ืช. ืžืกืชืžื there's some kind of ื”ื™ืชืจ. We don't know the things that are going on. ืžืกืชืžื a ื™ื™ื“ ื˜ื•ื˜ ืื–ื ื–ืืš, there has to be a ื”ื™ืชืจ ืžืกืชืžื. Anyway, we're in the middle of a story here. Supporting the Woodlands. Poor thing. ื›ื™ื•ื•ืŸ ืฉื”ื’ื™ืข ืœืื›ื–ื™ื‘, he was going, he arrived at ืื›ื–ื™ื‘, he came to ืื›ื–ื™ื‘, ื‘ื ืื—ื“ ืœืฉืื•ืœ ืขืœ ื ื“ืจื•. So somebody, you know, saw this ื—ื‘ื•ืจื” came, so he asked him he wants to be ืžืชื™ืจ ื ื“ืจ. ืืžืจ, so he said, ืืžืจ ืœื–ื” ืฉืขืžื•, so he said to the one who is with him, which is with who, to ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขืื™ he said, ื›ืœื•ื ืฉืชื™ื ื• ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช ื™ื™ืŸ ืื™ื˜ืœืงื™? So he said, did we drink on the way a ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช of wine, Italian wine?

ืืžืจ ืœื• ื”ืŸ. He said, yeah. Oh, so how could he be ืžืชื™ืจ? ืžืชื™ืจ ื ื“ืจ is like ืคืกืงื 'ื™ื ื’ a ื“ื™ืŸ. How can we do it? ืืžืจ ืœื•, he said, ืื ื›ืŸ ื™ื˜ื™ื™ืœ ืื—ืจื™ื ื• ืขื“ ืฉื™ื™ืฆื ื™ื™ื ื•. Let's go for a walk, and let the guy who needs it come follow us, and when we finish with the walk, the wine the the walk will sober us up from the wine, and we're allowed to ืคืกืง'ืŸ. ื•ื˜ื™ื™ืœ ืื—ืจื™ื• ื’' ืžื™ืœื™ืŸ, and he walked three ืžื™ืœ, ืขื“ ืฉื”ื’ื™ืข ืœืกื•ืœืžื” ืฉืœ ืฆื•ืจ, he came to outskirts of ืฆื•ืจ, ื•ื›ื™ื•ืŸ ืฉื”ื’ื™ืข ืœืกื•ืœืžื” ืฉืœ ืฆื•ืจ, he came there, ื™ืจื“ ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ ืžืŸ ื”ื—ืžื•ืจ, ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ went off donkey, ื•ื ืชืขื˜ืฃ, he got dressed, you know, in the ืจื‘ื ื™ืฉืข garb, ื•ื™ืฉื‘, he sat down, ื•ื”ืชื™ืจ ืœื• ื ื“ืจื•, and he was ืžืชื™ืจ ื ื“ืจ. Now, ื”ืจื‘ื” ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืœืžื“ื ื• ื‘ืื•ืชื” ืฉืขื”, from this we learned many things: ืœืžื“ื ื• ืฉืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช ื™ื™ืŸ ืื™ื˜ืœืงื™ ืžืฉื›ืจ, we learned that a ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช wine of this Italian wine makes you ืฉื™ื›ื•ืจ, because he said if you drink any sort of wine, ืœืžื“ื ื• ืฉื›ื•ืจ ืืœ ื™ื•ืจื”, we learned that a ืฉื™ื›ื•ืจ can't ืคืกืง'ืŸ, because he said if we do that, we can't ืคืกืง'ืŸ, ืœืžื“ื ื• ืฉื”ื“ืจืš ืžืคื™ื’ื” ืืช ื”ื™ื™ืŸ, we learned also that if you take a walk, takes away the effect of the wine, ื•ืœืžื“ื ื•, we also learned, ืฉืื™ืŸ ืžืคื™ืจื™ืŸ ื ื“ืจื™ื ืœื ืจื›ื•ื‘ ื•ืœื ืžื”ืœืš, that you can't ืžืชื™ืจ ื ื“ืจ not while you're riding, not while you're walking, ื•ืœื ืขื•ืžื“, not while you're standing, ืืœื ื™ื•ืฉื‘, while you're sitting. What does the ื’ืžืจื bring this whole thing in? To ask a ืงืฉื™ื. We said before that to take away a ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช of wine, you need one ืžื™ืœ, and here ืงืชื ื™, we learn ื’' ืžื™ืœื™ืŸ, that it needed three ืžื™ืœ to get rid of it. The ื’ืžืจื answers, ืฉืื ื™ ื™ื™ืŸ ืื™ื˜ืœืงื™ ื“ืžืฉื›ืจ ื˜ืคื™, ื™ื™ืŸ ืื™ื˜ืœืงื™ was stronger wine, and that made him more ืฉื™ื›ื•ืจ. For that you need a walk further walk. ืคืจืขื’ื˜ ื“ื™ ื’ืžืจื, ื•ื”ื ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ, ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said, ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื” ื‘ืจ ืื‘ื•ื”, ืœื ืฉื ื• ืืœื ืฉืฉืชื” ื™ื™ืŸ, ืฉืฉืชื” ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช. When do you take a walk and it helps you? If you drink a ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช. ืื‘ืœ ืฉืชื” ื™ื•ืชืจ ืžืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช, if you drink more, ื›ืœ ืฉื›ืŸ ืฉื“ืจืš ื˜ื•ืจื“ืชื•, the walk makes it worse, ื•ืฉื™ื ื” ืžืฉื›ืจืชื•, makes it more. So the question is in this case, you're saying this was like more than a ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช, so then the walk shouldn't have helped at all, because we said by a bigger amount, stronger, more more alcohol makes it worse the walk, so what happened here? The ื’ืžืจื says, ืจื›ื•ื‘ ืฉืื ื™, he wasn't walking, he was riding. Walking is oh yeah, later he got off. So he was riding the donkey till then, that's something else. That helps, but if you walk, I guess the the the activity gets you more ืฉื™ื›ื•ืจ. Well, it pumps the it pumps the it pumps it through your system. Yeah. Snake bite, also, you're supposed to stand still until you can get help there and somehow suck it out or get it out. If you get bit by a snake, ืจื—ืžื ื ืœื™ืฆืœืŸ, then you you have to stay still, because your movement is going to make this Right, travels all over. make it go all over. Yeah, ื–ืื’ื˜ ื“ื™ ื’ืžืจื, ื”ืฉืชื ื“ืืชื™ืช ืœื”ื›ื, now that you said this, now that we answered on this ืงืฉื™ื, we answered that since he was riding is different, oh, ืœืจื•ื•ื—ื ื“ืžื™ืœืชื ืื‘ื ื ื‘ื” ืงืฉื™ื, so we can answer the first ืงืฉื™ื with a different ืชื™ืจื•ืฅ. The first ืงืฉื™ื was here we see you needed three ืžื™ืœ and always it's one ืžื™ืœ. So we answered because it's stronger wine. Could've answered a different ืชื™ืจื•ืฅ. You know why you needed three ืžื™ืœ? Because ืจื›ื•ื‘ ืฉืื ื™. He was riding. Because when you walk and you only drink a ืจื‘ื™ืขื™ืช, so walking one ืžื™ืœ takes care of it. If you didn't walk, you were riding, so here, you need three ืžื™ืœ to take care of it, so that's good answers. Then the ื’ืžืจื asks, ืื™ื ื™? We said that one of the things we learned, that you cannot be ืžืชื™ืจ ื ื“ืจ, not while you're riding, not while you're walking, not while you're standing, but sitting. ื•ื”ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ, ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said, ืžืคื™ืจื™ืŸ ื ื“ืจื™ื, you could be ืžืชื™ืจ ื ื“ืจ, ื‘ื™ืŸ ืžื”ืœืš, whether you're walking, ื‘ื™ืŸ ืขื•ืžื“, whether you're standing, ื‘ื™ืŸ ืจื›ื•ื‘, whether you're riding. The ื’ืžืจื says, ืชื ืื™ ื”ื™ื, yeah, ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช ืชื ืื™ื, ืชืืงืข. ืื™ื›ื ืœืžืืŸ ื“ืืžืจ ืคืชื— ื‘ื›ื—ืจื˜ื”, ื•ืื™ื›ื ืœืžืืŸ ื“ืืžืจ ืื™ืŸ ืคืชื— ื‘ื›ื—ืจื˜ื”. What does that got to do with walking and standing? ื—ืจื˜ื” has got nothing Wait, we we didn't finish yet. I didn't ืคืชื— ื‘ื›ื—ืจื˜ื”, there's a difference If I would explain it, and you didn't and and you can't understand it, you have a good ืงืฉื™ื. I didn't say anything yet. So, he says there's a one ืžืืŸ ื“ืืžืจ says that ื‘ืฉืขืช you're ืžืชื™ืจ ื ื“ืจ, a ื—ื›ื is ืžืคืจ a ื ื“ืจ, you have to find a ืคืชื— ื‘ื›ื—ืจื˜ื”. You have to find some kind of ืกื‘ืจื to say that had I known that this this would be, I wouldn't. And one ืžืืŸ ื“ืืžืจ says you don't. You don't need a ื‘ื™ืช ื“ื™ืŸ of three. Only a ื—ื›ื can do it. A ื—ื›ื do himself, okay, what's a ืžื•ืžื—ื”. And so ืžืžื™ืœื, that's the difference. If you need a ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื”, then you have to look into the case, you have to hear, is that ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื” a valid one, is it not valid. So it needs a ื“ื™ื•ืŸ, it needs a discussion. When you need a discussion, you need ื™ืฉื•ื‘ ื”ื“ืขืช. You have to have a free mind, you have to sit. If you stand, then you're uncomfortable, you you it can't work. But if you don't need ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื”, then all you have to do is say ืžื•ืชืจ ืœืš, ืžื•ืชืจ ืœืš. So then you don't have to. So when he said, ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said that you could do it standing and walking, whatever, because he holds you don't need a ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื”, so there's no need to, there's nothing that you have to do here to have it's a clear mind. And when he says that you can't do it, when he had to walk down, because he holds that you do have to ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื”. And ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื” ื‘ืจ ื‘ืจ ื—ื ื” ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ื—ื ืŸ, ืจื‘ื” ื‘ืจ ื‘ืจ ื—ื ื” said ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ื—ื ืŸ said, ืžืื™ ืคืชื— ืœื™ื” ืจื‘ืŸ

Opening on ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื” with ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ

ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ ืœื”ื”ื•ื ื’ื‘ืจื? In that case, ืชืืงืข, what kind of ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื”, ืจื‘ืŸ ื’ืžืœื™ืืœ held you need a ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื”, and that's why he had to sit down, ืคืฉื•ื˜ to think about it. What did he eventually tell him? So he said, he told him this ืคืกื•ืง, not a ืคืกื•ืง, it came out from this ืคืกื•ืง, ื™ืฉ ื‘ื•ื˜ื” ื›ืžื“ืงืจื•ืช ื—ืจื‘. You could make a ื ื“ืจ, ื‘ื•ื˜ื” is making a ื ื“ืจ, like it said, ืœื‘ื˜ื ื‘ืฉืคืชื™ื, it says by a ื ื“ืจ, and it's It's like sticking you with a sword, but ืœืฉื•ืŸ ื—ื›ืžื™ื ืžืจืคื. The words of the ื—ื›ืžื™ื will cure you, which means ื›ืœ ื”ื‘ื•ื˜ื”, anybody who makes ื ื“ืจื™ื, a ื ื“ืจ, ืจืื•ื™ ืœื“ืงืจื• ื‘ื—ืจื‘. He deserves to be stuck with a sword. You shouldn't make ื ื“ืจื™ื. A person should never make ื ื“ืจื™ื. Why? Because ื‘ืขื•ื•ืŸ ื ื“ืจื™ื, for ืขื‘ื™ืจื•ืช of ื ื“ืจื™ื, that's why it says that nowadays whatever you do, always say ื‘ืœื™ ื ื“ืจ to make sure. This is ืขืœ ืคื™ ื”ืœื›ื”, and ืขืœ ืคื™ ืงื‘ืœื” is ืื•ื“ืื™. ืœืงื•ื˜ื™ ืชื•ืจื”, he says a ืœืฉื•ืŸ ืฉืœ ื”ืœื›ื”: ืื•ืžืจื™ื ืขืœ ื›ืœ ื“ื‘ืจ ื‘ืœื™ ื ื“ืจ. Very good, everything. And not only that, when you even some people are even ืžืงืคื™ื“ that when you give someone ืฆื“ืงื”, say ื‘ืœื™ ื ื“ืจ, meaning while you're giving him, that it shouldn't mean that you're taking that upon like, so every time I'm going to give you this. Remember the ืจื‘ื™ many times when he used to when the people used to, you know, ask him institutions and he would send a letter for a for a dinner or something, so he would send along money. So many times with his ื›ืชื‘ ื™ื“: ื‘ืชื•ืจืช ื‘ื–ื” ื”ืฉืชืชืคื•ืชื™ ื‘ืœื™ ื ื“ืจ to this ืžื•ืกื“. With thanks. Perpetuity. So yeah, it shouldn't be like ืžืงื‘ืœ upon yourself, something like that. ื•ื‘ื›ืœืœ, you always have to be careful. ื ื“ืจื™ื is the worst thing. So he says They're hoping They're hoping to get it every year the same thing or more. They could hope, yeah, but ืืœื ืฉ I think also whenever he would give, he made sure every year to give a different number. Every year, a different number.

Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskinโ€™s ื ื“ืจ and imprisonment

No, but what has this to ืฉื™ื™ื›ื•ืช? No, that's ืจ' ื™ื”ื•ืฉืข ืœื™ื™ื‘ ื“ื™ืกืงื™ืŸ, remember, made a ื ื“ืจ when when they put him in jail, ืจ' ื™ื”ื•ืฉืข ืœื™ื™ื‘ ื“ื™ืกืงื™ืŸ, the ื‘ืจื™ืกืงืขืจ ืจื‘. ืื•ื“ืื™ there are He gave money for ืืจืฅ ื™ืฉืจืืœ, they framed him because you were not allowed to give money to ืืจืฅ ื™ืฉืจืืœ. So what did he So they put him to jail and he His enemies, his enemies brought No, so what was the ื ื“ืจ about? He made a ื ื“ืจ that if that if that if he gets out, he'll he leaves the ืฉื˜ืขืœืข and goes to ืืจืฅ ื™ืฉืจืืœ. A lot of times! That, that's something else. ืื•ื“ืื™ in certain times you're making a There is a ื“ื™ืŸ ื ื“ืจ! It's not that there is no ื“ื™ืŸ, but ื‘ื›ืœืœ, be careful. You should never give Don't say you should never. You ignore No, it says some people are ืžืงืคื™ื“ not to give three times in a row the same number, exactly. I mean, if the If you say clearly ื‘ืœื™ ื ื“ืจ, then there's no problem. What if you have no intention whatsoever, it's just Also not. ื‘ืขืฆื, it's You're giving $18 ื‘ืขืฆื, it's also not. Not, but ืœืคื•ืขืœ, ืœืคื•ืขืœ it's it's better if you say or you think. Anyway, so what does it say? You deserve to get stuck, ืืœื are very hard to be ืžืชื™ืจ. Yeah. ืืœื ืฉืœืฉื•ืŸ ื—ื›ืžื™ื ืžืจืคื. So you're If a person makes ื ื“ืจื™ื, he he should he deserves to be stuck with a sword, but the ืœืฉื•ืŸ of the ื—ื›ืžื™ื, which means like some a ื—ื›ื in ื‘ื™ืช ื“ื™ืŸ, could be can cure you. And that was this ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื”. He like, he asks the guy, \"Did you know how strict it is to make a ื ื“ืจ?\" \"Oh, so had you known it would be so strict, would you make it?\" \"No!\" Oh, so that's the ืคืชื— ื—ืจื˜ื”. Didn't they do the same thing to the ืืœื˜ืขืจ ืจื‘ื™, also that a ืžืกื™ืจื” on him that he gave money for ืืจืฅ ื™ืฉืจืืœ? That's why he was in jail. Oh, so it's the same thing, politics.
