Stories of how arrogance caused Devorah, Shmuel, and Moshe to temporarily lose their prophetic or halachic clarity, alongside a halachic question on the status of a mamzer.

after we learned the story of Hillel and the Bnei Beteira, when they didn't know the 讚讬谉 if you should be 诪拽专讬讘 the 拽专讘谉 驻住讞 on Shabbos and it 讚讜讞讛 砖讘转, okay. So now the Gemara continues and says like this, 讗诪专 专讘 讬讛讜讚讛 讗诪专 专讘, 专讘 讬讛讜讚讛 in the name of 专讘, 讻诇 讛诪转讬讬讛专, anybody who is making himself like a baal gaavah, he is holding himself big, 讗诐 讞讻诐 讛讜讗 讞讻诪转讜 诪住转诇拽转 诪诪谞讜, his chochmah will go away. 讗诐 谞讘讬讗 讛讜讗 谞讘讜讗转讜 诪住转诇拽转 诪诪谞讜, if he is a navi, the nevuah will go away. Where do we see it? 讗诐 讞讻诐 讛讜讗 讞讻诪转讜 诪住转诇拽转 诪诪谞讜, if he is a chacham, the chochmah will go away, where do we see it? Hillel, from Hillel. 讚讗诪专 诪专, didn't we say before when we told the story of Hillel after they made him into the, asked him the sheilah, it says 讛转讞讬诇 诪拽谞讟专谉 讘讚讘专讬诐. He started giving them mussar. He started showing them who are you and the Gemara said before he's telling them why didn't, this whole thing came because you guys are not, like you're lazy, you didn't go to learn by Shemayah va'Avtalyon, why didn't you just. So what happened afterwards? So later on when they asked him a certain halachah, what did he say? 讜讗诪专 诇讛讜 讛诇讻讛 讝讜 砖诪注转讬 讜砖讻讞转讬. Later they asked him, what should we do with the knife, Shabbos, how could we, those who forgot to carry a knife, how do you carry a knife? So he said, I forgot, but let's see what the Yidden will do. So what happened was those that had a goat took it on the horns, those that had a sheep put it on the wool. And he said, \"Oh, that's exactly what I was taught.\" So what made him forget? Because before that, he made groys, and he started giving mussar and started to make himself big. So that's the raayah that if you're a chacham, your chochmah will go away. 讗诐 谞讘讬讗 讛讜讗 谞讘讜讗转讜 诪住转诇拽转 诪诪谞讜, if you're a navi, your nevuah will go away, where do we see that?
Devorah, by Devorah HaNeviah. It was right after he was appointed. After he was, yeah. It's happening in the Gemara right before. Right, yeah. And, well, the kavod, when they appointed him, he felt, and he started giving the mussar. So where do we see by Devorah? 讚讻转讬讘, it says, 讞讚诇讜 驻专讝讜谉 讘讬砖专讗诇 讞讚诇讜, that it says that when the the Plishtim made tzaros and so the 驻专讝讬诐, the openness by Yidden stopped, 注讚 砖拽诪转讬 讚讘讜专讛, till I got up, I 讚讘讜专讛, 砖拽诪转讬 讗诐 讘讬砖专讗诇, I, the mother among Yidden, till I came, things were not good. Well, that sounds a little bit like a shtikel gaavah. So what does it take, and that's what she said, 讻转讬讘, later it says, 注讜专讬 注讜专讬 讚讘讜专讛 注讜专讬 注讜专讬 讚讘专讬 砖讬专. Wake up Devorah, and speak 砖讬专. What do you mean wake up? Obviously there was a time when this was forgotten from her, the 砖讬专讛 that she said which is with nevuah, she had to get get an 讛转注讜专专讜转 to do it. So obviously she forgot, she lost her nevuah for a moment. Why did she lose her nevuah? Because of what she said before. She said before, \"Look, I am.\" Actually the Gemara says a similar thing 诇讙讘讬 by
Shmuel Hanavi. Yeah, we learned that in in in, yeah, and he said 讗谞讻讬 讛专讜讗讛. He said, \"I'm the seer.\" And then what happened later? It came, he didn't know when it came to pick Moshe Rabbeinu also. Huh? Moshe Rabbeinu himself. He doesn't bring, yeah, there it's 诪转讞砖. Now the next thing, 讻诇 讛讻讜注住, when angry, but earlier is something else. Yeah, here it's So that's why he forgot. He said he has to bring up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what what did he forget? Oh, at 讘谞讜转 at Bnos Tzelafchad right, yeah, by 讘谞讜转, because there it wasn't 讻注住. No, the other thing that says he forgot, 讘专讜讙讝 讻注住, yeah, Tosafos says, you're right, Tosafos says it's because he said by Yisro that he will appoint the the the 讚讬讬谞讬诐, 砖讜驻讟讬诐, 讜讻诇 讛讚讘专 讛拽砖讛 讬讘讬讗讜谉 讗诇讬, anything that's hard come to me, so he made himself big, so tachlis because of that he forgot later. Yeah, but that's why you can't discover this. He they should bring to Moshe Rabbeinu before they bring to Devorah. But there it wasn't nevuah. Why not for that? This is nevuah, this is 砖讬专, there it's halachah, there it's not nevuah. So it is as a chacham, like Hillel. Yeah, but that's but that we have a 讛诪砖讱 for before. See the Gemara is not look, it's not the story, it's a 讛诪砖讱 of before. It could Ah, but they also have a problem. Huh? By us We forget it without, without metziut. It's not a chacham and not a navi. So we have the 诪爪讬讗讛 without other chachmah and nevuah. Halachah you don't have. We forget not being nasi. Right, right, it's not like that. And that's why you're not supposed to even have Right. Not to make them a name. Not a name. Halacha is. Nobody even know the girsa of if and where. It's possible to tell them. Brings you Amar Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says, 讻诇 讗讚诐 砖讻讜注住, anybody who gets angry, 讗诐 讞讻诐 讛讜讗 讞讻诪转讜 诪住转诇拽转 诪诪谞讜, if he's a chacham, his chachmah will leave him. 讗诐 谞讘讬讗 讛讜讗 谞讘讜讗转讜 诪住转诇拽转 诪诪谞讜, if he's a navi, the nevuah will go away. Where do we see it? So this is kaas. This is and there the Gemara can bring from Moshe, but this is not the same thing. 讗诐 讞讻诐 讛讜讗 讞讻诪转讜 诪住转诇拽转 诪诪谞讜, if he's a chacham, the chachmah will go away, Moshe, from Moshe. 讻转讬讘, it says, where do we Moshe got in kaas, says 讜讬拽爪祝 诪砖讛 注诇 驻拽讜讚讬 讛讞讬诇,
when they came back from the war with Midyan, and Moshe saw that they left over all the women, they didn't kill them, so Moshe got angry. Okay, where do we see because he got angry he forgot halacha? Not nevuah, halacha. 讻转讬讘, it says later, 讜讬讗诪专 讗诇注讝专 讛讻讛谉, later Elazar, Aharon wasn't alive already, but Elazar spoke to the Yidden and gave them the halacha of 讙讬注讜诇讬 讻诇讬诐, how to 讻砖专 讻诇讬诐, 讙讬注讜诇讬 谞讻专讬. Why did not Moshe give them the halacha? Mikalal is a re'ayah that 诪砖讛, 谞注诇诐 诪诪谞讜, that from Moshe it got forgotten. So if it got forgotten, why did it get forgotten? As a, for that, that he was in kaas. 讗诐 谞讘讬讗 讛讜讗, where do we see if he is a 谞讘讬讗 谞讘讜讗转讜 诪住转诇拽转 讛讬诪谞讜? That if you get angry the nevuah will go away? Elisha. Elisha. Ksiv, it says, 诇讜诇讬 驻谞讬 讬讛讜砖驻讟 诪诇讱 讬讛讜讚讛 讗谞讬 谞讜砖讗 讗诐 讗讘讬讟 讗诇讬讱 讜讗诐 讗专讗讱. It says, \"I don't want to look at you, I don't want to see your face,\" he said to ksiv, it says later, 讜注转讛 拽讞讜 诇讬 诪谞讙谉 讜讛讬讛 讻谞讙谉 讛诪谞讙谉 讜转讛讬 注诇讬讜 讬讚 讛壮. Later on, he had to bring a 诪谞讙谉, someone to sing, and when the song came, then the the 讬讚 讛壮 was on him. Obviously, he was a navi the whole time, a siman that the nevuah had left him because he said something that was out of anger. 讗诪专 专讘 诪谞讬 讘专 驻讟讬砖. Rav Mani bar Patish said, 讻诇 讗讚诐 砖讻讜注住, any person that gets angry, 讗驻讬诇讜 驻讜住拽讬谉 诇讜 讙讚讜诇讛 诪谉 讛砖诪讬诐, even if they promised in the 砖诪讬诐 they have signed, sealed that he will become great, he will reach a, he will become, have a high position, 诪讜专讬讚讬谉 讗讜转讜, so we take him down. 诪谞诇谉, where do we see it? Me'Eliav. Interesting, from Eliav. Eliav was a son, a son of Yishai, a brother of David, and he really was the oldest, and he really was supposed to be the the melech. Ksiv, it says like this: 讜讬讞专 讗祝 讗诇讬讗讘 讘讚讜讚 讜讬讗诪专.
Eliav got angry at David. So what happened later? 讜讻讬 讗讝诇 砖诪讜讗诇 诇诪诪砖讞讬谞讛讜, when Shmuel came to give 诪砖讬讞讛, the Aibershter told him, \"Go,\" and he told him to go to one of the children of Yishai. Now, he didn't know who it was. So says, by all of them it wasn't, finally to David it was. 讘讻讜诇讛讜 讻转讬讘, by all of them it says, 诇讗 讘讝讛 讘讞专 讛壮. When he asked, when he came to one kid, so the Aibershter told him, \"No, this is not what I want. This is not what.\" By Eliav 讻转讬讘, it says, 讜讬讗诪专 讛壮 讗诇 砖诪讜讗诇 讗诇 转讘讟 讗诇 诪专讗讛讜, don't look at him, 讜讗诇 讙讜讘讛 拽讜诪转讜, and don't look at his height, 讻讬 诪讗住转讬讛讜, because I rejected him. \"I rejected him,\" that's the word I'm looking for. \"I rejected him.\" What does it mean rejected? He says, 讚讛讜讛 专讞讬诐 诇讬讛 注讚 讛讗讬讚谞讗, until now I liked him, that's now I, but the others doesn't say, they're not lechatchilah not candidates. He was a candidate, not only a candidate, he was supposed to be, and because he got angry, the Aibershter, and this is it's such a Why was he angry? Who was he angry with? You know? He says angry at David. At David? Why? I don't know what the story there is. Oh, the pasuk says 注诇 注诇 诪讬 注诇 诪讬 谞讟砖转 讗转 诪注讟 讛爪讗谉. That's what he told David? Yeah, he got angry. Yeah, David came to bring the his father sent him to bring the The 讻讻专讜转 注专讜讘讛, some Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right. 讬讚注转讬 讗转 讝讚讜谉 诇讘讱, you came to see the 诪诇讞诪讛, you want to see the sight Action. Yeah, 注诇 诪讬 谞讟砖转 讗转 诪注讟 讛爪讗谉. Yeah, he left the sheep. 讬讚注转讬 讗转 讝讚讜谉 诇讘讱. So that shows, since he was angry, but this is such a thing, suddenly, no, punishment you were angry. It's noge'a to forever. After David became Melech, forever, David, that's his family and his, had it been Eliav, that would have been forever. So it's an interesting thing that 注讚 讻讚讬 讻讱 it shows how anger is a terrible thing. It says other places, not this is not the Gemara, another Gemara, that anger is avodah zarah, all kinds of things. But I don't see why they're picking on Elisha. Eliyahu gave him a tenfold of what Elisha said. Eliyahu. He really told him off much worse than than than what Elisha said to It's not what you say, it's ka'as. Anger, not what you say. Why did he become a Melech? Who? Eliyahu told off Achav. Doesn't mean it's ka'as. Yeah, I mean he's not to give him busha, it's anger. Anger, I mean, here by, it says anger. He wasn't, he wasn't beka'as, Eliyahu? No, no, I don't think so. No. He just he said him what he was supposed to say, but I don't know if he was in ka'as. Whoa! Did he ever tell him! So? Doesn't mean if someone... But here by, so the Gemara knows it was ka'as. Okay. And the reason why ka'as is, because ka'as is ga'avah, that's really what it is. Why does a person get angry? Because, oh, if he, you insult me, you did something to me, I mean, it's me, me, me, everything is me, so that's why you get angry, so it's ka'as. So by an inyan of ga'avah it says the same thing, 讗讬谉 讛拽讚讜砖 讘专讜讱 讛讜讗, 讛砖诐 says 讗讬谉 讗谞讬 讜讛讜讗 讬讻讜诇讬谉 诇讚讜专 讘诪讚讜专 讗讞讚, 讛砖诐 says like, it's like 讚讜讞拽 专讙诇讬 讛砖讻讬谞讛, it's Anyway. Now the Gemara quotes from the Mishnah. it says that what they used to do with the korban Pesach in during the week and the same thing on 砖讘转, 诪讬讞讛 拽专讘讬讜. What does 诪讬讞讛, 诪讗讬 诪讬讞讛 拽专讘讬讜? What does 诪讬讞讛 拽专讘讬讜 mean? 拽专讘讬讜 means the insides obviously. What does 诪讬讞讛 拽专讘讬讜 mean? 专讘 讛讜谞讗 讗诪专, 专讘 讛讜谞讗 says 砖诪谞拽讘谉 讘住讻讬谉, that you would take the insides, the kishkes, and make a hole. When you take a hole, you would take out all the dirt from inside. That's what they did. 专讘 讞讬讬讗 讘专 讗讘讗 讗诪专, 专讘 讞讬讬讗 讘专 讗讘讗 says 砖讬专拽讗 讚诪讬讗, this is like a certain, certain fluid inside the stomach, 讚谞驻拽讗 讗讙讘 讚讜讞拽讗 讚住讻讬谞讗. It's only, it's like a dirty stuff inside that only comes out when you squeeze it with a knife, it'll come out. So there's a different teitch in the word 诪讬讞讛. What does the word 诪讬讞讛 mean? 讗诪专 专讘 讗诇注讝专, 专讘 讗诇注讝专 says, 诪讗讬 讟注诪讗 讚讞讬讬讗 讘专 讗讘讗? What's the reason of 讞讬讬讗 讘专 讗讘讗? If 讞讬讬讗 讘专 讗讘讗 obviously holds 诪讬讞讛 拽专讘讬讜 means taking out the the the bad 诇讬讞讛, the bad liquid that's inside. So how does that fit to the, where do we see that the word 诪讬讞讛 means that? Yeah. See, 诪讬讞讛, the first peshat we understand how it fits, because the first peshat, 诪讬讞讛 means more like, using what? No, like melting or, or, yeah, so that's like, you're a 诪诪讞讛. It's, it's, that's what it is. 诪爪讬 驻讬专讜砖 专砖\"讬 谞诪讞讛 讘转讜讻讜, like it gets, it gets, not melt, it gets, it softens, it gets soft and it's thick. Like, when you push it, it push it out. Well, that fits. But where does the 诪讬讞讛 fit to what we said, the dirt that's inside the stomach comes out with a knife? So obviously the word 诪讬讞讛 has another meaning. So he says, \"Now what's the reason of 讞讬讬讗 讘专 讗讘讗 who says this is the teitch 诪讬讞讛?\" 讚讻转讬讘, it says, 讜讞专讘讜转 诪讞讬诐 讙专讬诐, 讙专讬诐 讬讗讻诇讜. What they're going to take, be taken away from the 诪讞讬诐, 讙专讬诐 are going to eat. Now, what does that mean? 讞专讘讜转 means what? Swords? No, here 讞专讘讜转 means 诇砖讜谉 讞专讘, 诇砖讜谉 讞讜专讘谉. 讞讜专讘. What what's going to be taken away 讞讜讘讬诐? No, no, 诇砖讜谉 destroy like, yes, from that 砖讜专砖. 诪讗讬 诪砖诪注? What does that mean? What's the 诪砖诪注 that this has a to with what we're saying? 讻讚诪转专讙诐 专讘 讬讜住祝, 专讘 讬讜住祝 讟讬讬讟砖, that what does it mean 讜讞专讘讜转 诪讞讬诐 讙专讬诐 讬讗讻诇讜? 讜谞讻住讬讛讜谉 讚讞讬讬讘讬讗 爪讚讬拽讬讗 讬讞住谞讜谉, that the the the property of the 专砖注讬诐, the 爪讚讬拽讬诐 will take. So 讙专讬诐 is like the 爪讚讬拽讬诐. Why they call 爪讚讬拽讬诐? Because they live in this world only as 讙专讬诐, they're here, they're not feeling this their place. So the word 诪讞讬诐 is bad, for the bad ones. So we see from here that the word 诪讬讞讛 means getting rid of the bad. But then the same 驻住讜拽 says, 讜专注讜 讻讘砖讬诐 讻讚讘专诐. What does that mean? So he says, 讗诪专 专讘 诪谞砖讬讗 讘专 讬专诪讬讛 讗诪专 专讘, 讻诪讚讜讘专 讘诐, that the 讻讘砖讬诐, the sheep, will be done to them what was said about them. 诪讗讬 讻诪讚讜讘专 讘诐? What was said about them? What did the Aibishter say to them? 讗诪专 讗讘讬讬, 讜讞专讘讜转 诪讞讬诐 讙专讬诐 讬讗讻诇讜. What it means it's because these two halves of the pasuk go together, that the Aibishter will give to the 讻讘砖讬诐. The 讻讘砖讬诐 are sheep. Who are the sheep? The sheep are Yidden. So the there's a the Gemara says, 砖讛 驻讝讜专讛. There's a 驻住讜拽, 砖讛 驻讝讜专讛 讬砖专讗诇. Yidden are a sheep like a sheep that's sheep that's spread out all over. Anyway, Yidden are compared to a sheep. Ah? 讻住讞诇讬讛, yeah. We always use that 诇砖讜谉. Yeah. So what the pasuk is saying that the 讻讘砖讬诐 will get what was told to them. What was told? So the pasuk continues. What's told to them, that 讜讞专讘讜转 诪讞讬诐 讙专讬诐 讬讗讻诇讜. So the tzadikim, all the Yidden are called tzadikim, will get inherit from the reshaim. 讗诪专 诇讬讛 专讘讗, 专讘讗 says, 讘砖诇诪讗 讗讬 讻转讬讘 讞专讘讜转 讻讚拽讗诪专转, if it would say like this, 讜专注讜 讻讘砖讬诐 讻讚讘专诐 讞专讘讜转 诪讞讬诐 讙专讬诐 讬讗讻诇讜, then it makes sense that 讻讚讘专诐 means Aibishter will give the sheep, the Yidden, like it said. And the pasuk continues, that 诪讞讬诐 讙专讬诐 讗讛 讞专讘讜转 诪讞讬诐 讙专讬诐 讬讗讻诇讜. That means what going What did he say? That they're going to eat. The the the tzadikim will get from the reshaim. 注讻砖讬讜 讚讻转讬讘 讜讞专讘讜转, it says first, the 讻讘砖讬诐 are going to get what was told, and 讞专讘讜转 诪讞讬诐 讙专讬诐 讬讗讻诇讜. Milta achrita, so it must be something else. So we're back to the she'eilah, what What does this pasuk mean? 讗诪专 专讘讗, 专讘讗 says, 讻讚专讘讬 讞谞讬谞讗 讗诪专 专讘. Like Rabbi Chanina said in the name of 专讘, 讗诪专 专讘讬 讞谞讬谞讗 讗诪专 专讘, 注转讬讚讬诐 爪讚讬拽讬诐 砖讬讞讬讜 讗转 讛诪转讬诐. Tzadikim are going to have the power to be mechaye meitim. Why? 诇注转讬讚? Ah, le'atid lavo. 注转讬讚讬诐, yeah, 诇注转讬讚. Which some 爪讚讬拽讬诐 could do it now because they're like 诇注转讬讚. 讻转讬讘 讛讻讗, here it says, 讜专注讜 讻讘砖讬诐 讻讚讘专诐, so it says 讻讘砖讬诐, and it says 讻转讬讘 讛转诐, another pasuk says, So it says, 专注讜 诇砖讜谉 sheep, uh, uh, pasture. Then it says, 讬专注讜 讘砖谉 讜讙诇注讚 讻讬诪讬 注讜诇诐, that that 讬专注讜, that the same 讬专注讜, it's a gezeirah shavah, 专注讜 and 讬专注讜. And there it mentions Bashan and Gilad. What's Bashan and Gilad? Bashan is 讗诇讬砖注, 讛讘讗 诪谉 讛讘砖谉, he comes from 讛讘砖谉. How do we know that it's 讜讬讛讬 讬砖驻讟 讘讘砖谉, 讝讛 讘砖谉. 讻转讬讘 it says 驻讛 讗诇讬砖注 讘谉 砖驻讟 讗砖专 讬爪拽 诪讬诐 注诇 讬讚讬 讗诇讬讛讜. So we see from here, so this goes on on on Elisha who was in Bashan, because here it says 讜讬讛讬 讬砖驻讟 and there it says 驻讛 讗诇讬砖注 讘谉 砖驻讟, so 讬砖驻讟 is Elisha's father, and it says Bashan. Anyway, here we have a re'ayah that Elisha is Bashan. So when it says in pasuk 讬专注讜 讘砖谉, so that means, and this pasuk is a gezeirah shavah to 专注讜, that means that the Yidden are going to have what Bashan had. What did Bashan have? Who's Bashan? Bashan is Elisha, so one of the things we know Elisha did was 诪讞讬讛 诪转讬诐. Eliyahu was mechayei meisim, and Elisha was mechayei meisim twice. Who will be the mes? Huh? Tzadikim. Oh wait, later we're going to say there's a 驻住讜拽 谞注专 讘谉, 讘谉 诪讗讛 砖谞讛 讬诪讜转, the Gemara says it goes on the goyim, but even even goyim. Or maybe it means in the beginning when they'll still need it. And Gilad, says Bashan and Gilad, so Bashan and 讙诇注讚, 讙诇注讚 讝讛 讗诇讬讛讜, 砖谞讗诪专 it says 讜讬讗诪专 讗诇讬讛讜 讛转砖讘讬 诪转讜砖讘讬 讙诇注讚. But what's the big deal? Wasn't Rabba mechayei the Rav Zeira? I mentioned that some tzadikim were already now in olam hazeh. Although although he didn't want him he didn't want him a second time to go. He didn't want to risk it the second time. That was the second time. That's the second time, the second time. But what you're asking is, it takeh says in the 讙诪专讗 讝讜讟专讗 讚讘讻讜 诪讞讬讛 诪转讬诐. The smallest one of the Tannaim or Amoraim were able to mechayei meisim. Were able to, this this doesn't mean they did it. The Alter Rebbe. There's a story. Huh? Mechayei meisim all of us, we're all meisim and he gave some he gave us some chiyus. If you make a baal teshuvah you're mechayei meisim. Yeah. The story, there's the greste, the greste techiyat hameitim is Alter Rebbe with, with Chabad. Chabad means makes your seichel understand the Aibershter. 讗 砖讟讬拽 讙专注住注专注 诪转 wie der kop, wie the seichel. Seichel is Rambam says seichel is very cold. The hartz is warm, the seichel is cold. That's a mes. And when you make your seichel excited about the Aibershter, that's 转讞讬讬转 讛诪转讬诐. A dead man you made, that's 转讞讬讬转 讛诪转讬诐. But what you're saying is an act story of a physical story, that when the Alter Rebbe ran away from Napoleon, so he had 60 wagons, a whole a whole 砖讬讬专讗, and they went for many places. So there's one guy who was a big 讙讘讬专, he supported them. He gave paid all the money for everything. And once when he came to a certain place, they stopped, anyway he got the guy's wife was upset a little bit at him, so he got into an argument, anyway he gave her a push by mistake, and she fell off the second floor, and she fell down, she died. The one who the one who gave the 驻专谞住讛. The one who gave the 驻专谞住讛 for months and he paid for everything, for 60 wagons, you know how many people were involved. So the guy came running to the Alter Rebbe, why does, I did so much, wie kommt es to mir? So he said the Alter Rebbe said, \"Okay, take me.\" So he took him to the place where she was laying on the floor. So the Alter Rebbe took the stick, started pushing her, he says, \"What, 讝讬讬讟 谞讬砖讟 拽讬讬谉 拽驻专讬讝谞注, 讗讬讚注谞注\". In Yiddish, a 拽驻专讬讝谞注, a 拽驻专讬讝谞注 is, not stubborn, but Capricious. What's capricious in English? What does that mean? 讗 拽驻专讬讝谞注, the same word, person, whatever he has. So he says, \"讝讬讬讟 谞讬砖讟 拽讬讬谉, 讝讬讬讟 谞讬砖讟 拽讬讬谉 拽驻专讬讝谞注, 砖讟讬讬 讗讜讬祝 讗讜谉 讙讬讘 讗讜谞讝, 讙讬讘 讗讜谞讝 讻讬讘讜讚\" or something, \"give us some tea\". And he pushed her with the stick, so she got up and she came inside and she prepared them breakfast, I don't know what she did. She went against the railing, and the railing went And the railing fell down, she fell down. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, right. Now there's another maaseh of Reb' Shmuel miNikolsburg. Reb Shmuel once, was a time that the Alter Rebbe was sick and the doctor said that he has to sit, soak himself in a bathtub for a 诪砖讱 讝诪谉 every day, or whatever, so he couldn't learn while he was in the bathtub. So, Some of his children would stand there and talk stories of tzadikim. He shouldn't waste his time. So someone started telling something about Rav Shmelke. The Alter Rebbe said, \"I don't want in the bathtub. When I'm in the bathtub, in the bath house you can't talk about Rav Shmelke.\" The Alter Rebbe was in the bathtub. He said, \"Why?\" \"I'll tell you later.\" Later he said, \"A person that was 诪讞讬讛 诪转讬诐, so holy that you can't talk about in the bathtub.\" So they asked him, \"What's the story?\" So the story, there was a very long story, but the nekudah of the story is like this. There was a guy who was a big rich man, and then he became poor, a 讬讜专讚, and he wanted to go around collecting, but he was embarrassed. So he came to Rav Shmelke and asked him to give him a letter, so to have a letter from Rav Shmelke. So Rav Shmelke gave him a letter, even though he never gave, but this guy, he knew him, and he was a big, gave a lot of tzedakah before. Anyway, he gave him a letter. The guy went with this letter, and he collected a lot of money, because people saw Rav Shmelke is asking to give it. And he went far away. So finally he got himself as much money as he needed, and he was already far away someplace. He met up with this other shnorrer, with a guy who was staying in the same place. And they were talking, so he
tells him the story. This other shnorrer says, \"You know what, you're going home already. Sell me your letter.\" Oy gevald, he would never do such a thing. Yeah, no, that guy, no one would do such a thing? So the guy had a nisayon and he was 讚讜专讻讙注驻讗诇谉, and he sold him the letter. This guy went around collecting and people gave him. Came to a certain place, in a certain city, anyway at the end was, so he died in that city. No one knew who he was, but they looked through his things, they found this letter. The letter from Rav Shmelke, so they knew his name, they knew his city, and they notified the Beit Din in that city that this guy died. So the wife, and it wasn't him. So afterwards his wife actually got married, they married her, and had a child, and there was going to be a brit. And he happened to, this guy who got the money, he was on the way back, someone stole all his money, and they leave him a 拽讘爪谉, he had no penny, someone on the way stole his money. He lost his, he lost his money, lost the letter. So now he can't, his wife didn't know anything about it. So now he started going around shnarren until finally he got to his city. He got to his city, no one recognized him because he was already with long hair, with the, and the first thing he asked people, \"What's doing with this woman?\" He didn't know who it was. \"This woman, oh, she got married, today is the brit!\" And this was in Nikolsburg and Rav Shmelke is there. So when he came to the bris, he
walked in, and Rav Shmelke wasn't by the bris, but, so he walks in and he says to somebody there, \"I want to see the 讬讜诇讚转. I want to see the mother.\" So she was in the room and they, so they asked, \"How could, a strange man wants to see the woman?\" But he said he's not going to let the bris, so they asked the rabbanim there, \"Are they allowed to do it?\" So, \"Let him do it.\" So he went in and Stop the bris. He said, \"If you don't let me see the mother, I'm going to make a 讟讜诪诇 讜诪驻讜诇转.\" Yeah, nothing happened. So he went in, so finally he went in. He went in and she saw him, she
recognized him, and she faints, and she died. She died, and also the child died. She died, so Rav Shmelke came, and Rav Shmelke said, \"Why should she die? He deserves to die.\" And he said, \"Let them change.\" So she became alive and he died. But wait a minute! It's still a mamzer! A 诪诪讝专 讚讗讜专讬讬转讗, it's still a mamzer, but she doesn't deserve to die. She is okay, but the child is a mamzer. After all the things that could take place, the child is still a mamzer, that doesn't change. Why is it a mamzer? So? So she didn't do anything... Still an 讗谞讜住讛, it's still a mamzer. Adrabah, the
Gemara says if a Beis Din gives a heter and the husband comes, 转爪讗 诪讝讛 讜诪讝讛, and the child from the second husband is a 诪诪讝专 讚讗讜专讬讬转讗. If she goes back to the first husband and has a child, the child is a 诪诪讝专 讚专讘谞谉. The Gemara says. But the child is a mamzer, there's no question about that. It's not her fault. What happened if a woman 谞讗谞住讛? A married woman 谞讗谞住讛 had a child, and we know it's from that guy. Sometimes if you don't know you say 专讜讘 讘注讬诇讜转 讗讞专 讛讘注诇, so it does. But let's say the husband wasn't in town, I mean away for two years... Yeah, no, if you know it, so then it's That's what I'm saying, the Gemara says the Beis Din paskent You can rule or not, the Beis Din paskent you're allowed to, and then the husband comes, 转爪讗 诪讝讛 讜诪讝讛, 讜讛讜诇讚 诪砖谞讬讛诐 诪诪讝专. Yeah. 讛诇诪讗讬 谞驻拽讗 诪讬谞讛? It's a 诪诪讝专 讚讗讜专讬讬转讗, 诪诪讝专 讚专讘谞谉, because from the first guy it shouldn't be a 诪诪讝专 讚讗讜专讬讬转讗. No, 讛注诇诐 讚讘专 can bring a korban?
No, 讛注诇诐 讚讘专 brings a korban? No, it's only 讛讜专讜 讘讬转 讚讬谉 of the 砖讘讟讬诐, if a whole 砖讘讟. But what one person does, bring your own korban. Okay, let's go back to Yeah, they make an error and 讙讗谞抓 讻诇诇 讬砖专讗诇 follows them, then they No, but they make a mistake. 讛讜专讜 讘讬转 讚讬谉, that's the 注讘讬专讛, and there's no aveirah. 讗诪专 专讘讬 砖诪讜讗诇 讘专 谞讞诪谞讬 讗诪专 专讘讬 讬讜谞转谉, 注转讬讚讬谉 爪讚讬拽讬诐 砖讬讞讬讜 诪转讬诐. Tzadikim in the future will be mechayeh meitim, 讻转讬讘 it says: 讻讛 讗诪专 讛壮, so Hashem says, 注讜讚 讬砖讘讜 讝拽谞讬诐 讜讝拽谞讜转, the time will come and old men and old women will sit 讘专讞讜讘讜转 讬专讜砖诇讬诐, in the streets of 讬专讜砖诇讬诐, 讜讗讬砖 诪砖注谞转讜 讘讬讚讜, and everyone will have his stick in his hand. What's the remez? Ketiv it says: 讜砖诪转 诪砖注谞转讬 注诇 驻谞讬 讛谞注专. By Elisha when he was mechayeh meitim, what did he do? He gave first Geichazi the stick, and he said, go and put the stick on and be mechayeh meitim. 诇驻讜注诇 it didn't work because he the, but 诇驻讜注诇 so we see mishenet was a tool of 转讞讬讬转 讛诪转讬诐. And it says that then 讝拽谞讬诐 讜讝拽谞讜转 讘专讞讜讘讜转 讬专讜砖诇讬诐, and they'll be mechayeh meitim. Ulla 专诪讬, Ulla asked a kashya. Ketiv it says: 讘诇注 讛诪讜转 诇谞爪讞. Hashem will make death be swallowed away forever. Ve-ketiv it says, for 诇注转讬讚 诇讘讜讗: 讻讬 讛谞注专 讘谉 诪讗讛 砖谞讛 讬诪讜转. He dies at a hundred, you will be called a child, fine, but he'll die. 诇讗 拽砖讬讗, 讛讗 讘讬砖专讗诇 讛讗 讘注讻讜状诐. This is yidn, this is goyim. Goyim will die, live long, but eventually they'll die, yidn not. 驻专注讙讟 讚讬 讙诪专讗: 讜注讻讜状诐 诪讗讬 讘注讜 讛转诐?
What are the goyim doing there bichlal? 诇注转讬讚 诇讘讜讗 there'll be goyim? Ein, yes. Ketiv it says: 讜注诪讚讜 讝专讬诐 讜专注讜 爪讗谞讻诐, that the zarim, the strangers will come and they're going to be the shepherds. Huh? That's that's all the shiur. What if there's 讘专讜讱 讗转讛 讛壮 讗诇拽讬谞讜 诪诇讱 讛注讜诇诐 砖讛讻诇 谞讛讬讛 讘讚讘专讜 know that they're wrong. In a case where
