Good luck. Shkoyach, davenen. All right, Joe, thank you very much. אמר רב יהודה, רב יהודה said, מעשה בארטבן אחד, story with this one guy called ארטבן, שהיה בודק מזוזות בשוק העליון של ציפורי, he was בודק the mezuzot, he checked mezuzot on the top Tzipori, we always know there was a שוק העליון and שוק התחתון, there was one street and was a higher street. Huh? Tzipori, I don't know. י׳, it's a good question. ומצאו קסדר אחד, and this officer, a government officer, met him and was upset. I guess they weren't allowed to do this. ונטל הימנו אלף זוז. He gave him a קנס of 1,000 זוז. פרעגט די גמרא, ואמר רב אלעזר, שלוחי מצוה אינן ניזוקין, that's שלוחי מצוה, if a shaliach of a mitzvah is not is doesn't get to hurt, and here he was doing a mitzvah, how is he hurt? The Gemara answers, היכא דקביע היזיקא שאני. If it's a place where it's very common for it for damage to happen, there you should be careful even if you do a mitzvah. דכתיב, it says, ויאמר שמואל איך אלך ושמע שאול והרגני, Shmuel sent the דברי שמים sent Shmuel to Shaul, he said, \"How can I go there? He's going to kill me.\" What do you mean he's going to kill? Go, the דברי שמים is sending you, so it's shluchei mitzvah, you're not ניזוקים. But if it's שכיחא היזיקא, if it's קביע היזיקא, then it is. So was he forced to, you see that it was a such a big deal here? Yeah, it must have been a place over there that the government was against it, and you should be careful. And since it was common, so therefore the shluchei mitzvah didn't help. Then the Gemara goes on on another thing.

תניא אידך, says in a beraita. Like shedim with two people. Huh? Like shedim with two people. It says if two people still protect, but if it's common that they're there, it still doesn't. Yeah, yeah. מזיקין and shedim are the same thing, aren't they? בית הכנסת של דבית השותפין, a shul and a house of partners, ובית האשה, What's a house of partners? A house that belongs to partners. And a house that belongs to a woman, to the wife, because those days they used to have separate houses for the women. מטמאין בנגעים, that if it gets a נגע, it has the דין of a נגע. It's metamei. So the Gemara says, פשיטא. I mean, why would you think that if it's a shul not or a שותף? The Gemara answers, מהו דתימא, I would have thought, because when it talks about a house having a נגע, the pasuk says, ובא אשר לו הבית, that it says that they call the kohen, and the one that the house is his should come. So we thought to דרש, maybe לו ולא לה, it says him, not her, so if it's a house of a woman, not. לו ולא להן, to him, and not to them, if it belongs to partners, maybe not. Same thing with a shul, belongs to public. קא משמע לן, that's why the beraita had to tell us, no, it does have נגעים. And then the Gemara says, why? ותימא הכי נמי, why don't make that דרש? The Gemara answers, because אמר קרא, there's another pasuk that says, בבית ארץ אחוזתכם, any house that's in the land of your inheritance, any house gets a נגע. So obviously it includes these also. אלא לו למה לי? So why does it say לו, his? All right. So that means to teach you למי שיחד ביתו לו. Who gets a נגע? Someone who keeps the house for himself, שאינו רוצה להשאיל כלים, doesn't want to lend out any of his furniture, any of his כלים that he has, ואומר he says, שאין לי, הקדוש ברוך הוא, שאין לי, and he says he doesn't have. Some guy who you come to him and you ask him to give you, lend something, he always says, \"I don't have.\" What does Hakadosh Baruch Hu do? הקדוש ברוך הוא מפרסמו, הקדוש ברוך הוא publicizes it, כשמפנה את ביתו. He says you have to take everything out before the kohen gives the verdict, he says to take everything out. So then

what happens? Everyone can see what you have. You claimed you don't have this and this, now everyone sees. So this comes to teach you, פרט למשאיל כלים לאחרים. This comes to exclude that if you are a person who does lend out your כלים, you will not get a נגע. So it's not a din that it has to be yours and not hers or yours and not theirs. The word yours means Why would you be so lenient in the fact that you had to take all your belongings out before the kohen came in and gave us decided what it was? Because if the kohen said tamei, then everything inside becomes tamei. Why are they so lenient in that? Why lenient? It was tamei before. It wasn't טמא. As long as the כהן doesn't say it doesn't Even if it has all the qualities of טומאה, as long as the כהן doesn't say טמא, it's not טמא. That's the דין of נגעים. When you find the treasure, if they pound the walls? That's also, yeah. That's that's a difference they We find there's a place where it says it's a it's a קללה, and a place it says The Gemara says in other places it comes as a punishment for for for לשון הרע, this For being a צר עין. For being a miser, for not giving tzedakah, And it says it, yeah. and here it's talking here it's not for lending, so Break the room, the walls, and okay, how you break the walls, you take the money. That's what he's saying. That's one thing it says. Yeah, it's one place it says that that's a מעלה, the other place says it's a חסרון. And there's a שיחה, the רבי explains it Both extremes work together. In Israel when we had the war in Lebanon, yeah, so somebody come to to to Tveria and a woman, and she looked and she saw the fence around, you know, still broken like they left it. So, she called her father and they come there and they said listen, I can build you a new one, but let me break this one. And they found all the gold that they left. Yeah. From the time, from the time, you know, it was like years. Maybe 20-30 years before, they put the money and nobody break the broken wall. Oh, they didn't manage to find it. They didn't find it. It's like this guy with the $98,000. Yeah. Did you hear? But I No, even, no, even, yeah, no, even. Like, how's this normal? There was a guy that bought a desk, I know, but Hakadosh Baruch Hu and gave So he gave it back. I don't know. And I think it's normal to give it back? Normal to give it back? I don't think so. You don't think it's normal to give it back? Yeah. You go to jail if you don't. Listen, listen. Who say it belongs to the original? She said she forgot because and Hashem make this, so he can break it. There was a guy that found $25,000 top. He needs to hide a cup That's something else. That they could tell. No, I'm not No, but you're saying it's the stairs. There the banks knows they catch a mistake. But here who will know? I'm I'm not saying you shouldn't give it back. I'm just saying Nobody knows. By a goy though. If you have a goy

though. Nobody. By a goy though. It says By a goy. By a yid for sure you have to. Also, could be if it's yeush, maybe not. I know. You could go to jail. She forgot, she forgot about it. No, but if it's yeush, yeah. No, by by a goy you don't have to you don't have to, but it says if it makes a kiddush Hashem Yeah, yeah, yeah, no bank connection. to find $250,000. People find spend two days to find. Such a kiddush Hashem. A kiddush Hashem was Yeah. The Gemara tells there's a הלכה שאין מורין כן that you don't have to give back to a goy, but if it's going to make a kiddush Hashem, you have to give back. So you have the other kids around in the school, he's from Bainbridge in New York. A good part, you know, he used to live in, he's from Lay down on him. Boys in Lubavitch, girls in Beis Rivkah, in Crown Heights. All of them. And 90,000 watched in one hour. 90,000? 90,000 fit. Yeah. On the first hour, they put the pictures, 90,000 people picked it up. He beat the record. And the next day it was every single one. Yeah. He's from Crown Heights, Lubavitcher. The news took contact with him. Who? This guy who was the spark. Yeah, Lubavitcher. In Lubavitch they do good, too. He used to live here in Miami? Lubavitch in Monsey, I know him. Really? Wow. Okay, so the Gemara ווייטער.

Got a name, Isaac Larian. תניא, it says in a ברייתא, מה היה בחלקו של יהודה. We know that Yehudah had part of Yerushalayim, and Binyamin had part of Yerushalayim. Now, what was in Yehudah's share? The הר הבית, the mount of the בית המקדש, the לשכות, the rooms, the עזרה. מה היה בחלקו של בנימין? What was the part of Binyamin? The אולם and the היכל. That's the building. The front part of the building, the second part of the building, the בית קדש הקדשים, the קדש הקדשים. ורצועה היתה יוצאת מחלקו של יהודה ונכנסת לחלקו של בנימין. And there was like a strip that came from from from Yehuda into בנימין, ובה היה מזבח בנוי. And there where the mizbeach was. In other words, it wasn't like straight, that here was Binyamin, here was Yehuda, but there's a little strip coming from Yehuda to Binyamin. Really Binyamin was here. This little piece not, and that's where the mizbeach was. ובנימין הצדיק היה מצטער עליה. Binyamin Hatzadik felt bad. It could have been in his share, why did this שטיקל לבולעה בכל יום. He wanted to swallow it in. שנאמר, it says, חופף עליו כל היום. He was hovering, trying to get it. And because he really wanted it, לפיכך זכה בנימין הצדיק, בנימין הצדיק was זוכה, ונעשה אושפיזכן לגבורה, he became the the host to the Aibershter, which means the קדש הקדשים where the aron was, was by him. שנאמר, it says, I'm just wondering how the boundary got drawn such a way that there would be a piece I don't know. I don't know how it came to pass. Was it a goral? Yeah, but On what? How did a goral how did a goral produce such a thing? No, they would have every single everything Maybe it did. I don't know, maybe it did. That I'm not I don't know. I don't know how it worked. שנאמר, it says, ובין כתפיו שכן, that it's between his shoulders. So it's between there is the mizbeach. But then the other opinion holds, האי תנא סבר ירושלים לא נתחלקה לשבטים. What the other opinion says, this whole thing is not so. Yerushalayim did not belong to any shvatim. Yerushalayim was an international capital. It belonged to all the shvatim, so you can't say this מעשה with Binyamin and Yehuda. What is his proof for this? What? That ירושלים לא נתחלקה לשבטים? What is his proof for the other thing, I mean? How does he know that Yehuda and Binyamin? That's b'kabbalah we have. It's all b'kabbalah. Yeah.

זאגט די Mishnah, it talks about the Kohen Gadol. מסרו לו זקנים מזקני בית דין. they would give him elders of the elders of the בית דין, וקורין לפניו בסדר היום, and they would read for him, and they would read the פרשה that of the Chumash that deals with Yom Kippur. ואומרים לו, they would say to him like this, אישי כהן גדול, אישי is an expression like your honor, your honor the כהן גדול, קרא אתה בפיך. See, he had to read it in the next day in the בית המקדש, so they would so practice, read it yourself. שמא שכחת, maybe you forgot, או שמא לא למדת, maybe you didn't learn, okay? Then it says, ערב יום כיפור בשחרית, ערב יום כיפור in the morning, מעמידין אותו בשערי המזרח, they would put him by the gate of מזרח, ומעבירין לפניו, and they would pass by him פרים ואילים וכבשים, bulls, rams, sheep, כדי שיהא מכיר ורגיל בעבודה, he should recognize them that tomorrow when they'll have to take this korban and that korban should fast, they shouldn't have to look what it is, he should recognize them, okay. Then there's another thing, כל שבעת הימים, all the seven days before Yom Kippur, which we learned he was separated, he was in in in in isolation, לא היו מונעין ממנו מאכל ומשתה, they wouldn't hold back food, he could drink eat and drink as much as he wants. ערב יום כיפור עם חשיכה, ערב יום כיפור as soon as it got ערב יום כיפור, לא היו מניחין אותו לאכול הרבה, they wouldn't let him eat a lot, שהמאכל מביא לידי שינה, eating makes you sleep, and they didn't want him to fall asleep at all, because if you fall asleep, you might become a baal keri, ah? He's the only one who didn't eat like it was, you know, when you eat. Right. eat a lot, and he he ate less, yeah yeah, exactly. This is on the on the tenth? The ninth. That is Yom Kippur, everyone knows he eats. Whole day, whole Erev Yom Kippur. Or at the late afternoon. Like before he did, but they're afraid the next day. Can you say the same kapitlakh he said? ערב No, they don't They let him eat, but not so much. Yom Kippur at night, so he could be careful for the baal keri. Yeah. Well, do we say it because of him? Because of No, it's that's a kabbalah, that's not in the Gemara, it's not No, but that was the reason. One of the reasons is that because it Yeah, about the kabbalah. Yeah. That's true, we didn't want a baal keri, but this saying the kapitlakh Tehillim, that's No, but we say this with Hashem's name, You're saying kavanah, yeah. with this idea that we shouldn't come to That's right. But where's that that he did it? Oh, not him. He said a kapitlakh? No, no, that he that I I said that. Oh, you said that? I said that he shouldn't come a baal keri. Then the Gemara asks: It says in the Mishnah that they read Oh, really? It says in the Mishnah that they made him they read for him and they told him why, because, try read it yourself, they said, you might have forgotten maybe, maybe you didn't learn. So the Gemara says like this, בשלמא שמא שכח, לחיי, we understand, maybe he forgot. אלא שלא למד, מי מוקמינן כי האי גוונא? What do you mean he didn't learn? How do you ever make a כהן גדול an עם הארץ that didn't learn? והתניא, it says in a ברייתא, והכהן הגדול מאחיו, the כהן is bigger than his brothers, so we שיהא גדול מאחיו, he has to be bigger than the rest of the כהנים, בנוי, in beauty, ובכח, in strength, ובעושר, in riches, ובחכמה. אחרים אומרים, some say, מניין שאם אין לו שאחיו הכהנים מגדלים אותו? How do you know if he doesn't have a lot of money, the other Kohanim have to give him money to make him richer? תלמוד לומר, it says, והכהן הגדול מאחיו, the כהן is greater from his brothers, גדלהו משל אחיו, make him big from his brothers, take from the Kohanim. But in the meantime the kushya is, it says he has to be big בחכמה, and and he didn't know the Chumash, couldn't read? What were all the others? That means that he didn't learn? What were all the Kohanim? No, that's not a chashash. Has to be all. No no no no, it's not. All four. What about the ones that bought that didn't have all these?

Answered the גמרא, אמר רב יוסף, רב יוסף says, לא קשיא, כאן במקדש ראשון כאן במקדש שני. One is the first Beis Hamikdash, and the other the second Beis Hamikdash. דאמר רב אסי, רב אסי said, תרקבא דדינרי, three קבים of דינרים, אייתי ליה מרתא בת בייתוס לינאי מלכא, מרתא בת בייתוס gave to the king ינאי, דאוקמיה ליהושע בן גמלא בכהני רברבי, to make Yehoshua ben Gamla the Kohen Gadol. So we see from here that there was a second Beis Hamikdash they bought it, and they had no choice. Yes, he is. Yeah. We brought it before. Yeah. Who who Is this individual, Yehoshua ben Gamla, was was a very Not the same, that's a different ben Gamla. A totally different guy. Yeah, that guy was a good guy. You see, we don't even call him Rabbi Yehoshua ben Gamla. What? It doesn't even say Rabbi Yehoshua ben Gamla. I see, Yehoshua ben Gamla. Yeah, he was You hear him always called Yehoshua, everyone calls him ben Gamla. No, he's called Yehoshua ben Gamla. Also Yehoshua ben Gamla. Yeah. So this is that they that they're talking with that struggle. Wasn't this Yannai's time? Yeah. I don't think it's the same guy. And it wasn't the one that turned That's Yochanan Kohen Gadol. Yochanan Kohen Gadol, it wasn't him? No. Okay. No. But see, he went the other way, right? No, he was he became a Tzeduki. 80 years Kohen Gadol and then he became a Tzeduki. So it wasn't he wasn't doing Yannai. No. I don't know. You know what? Who was? Some say Yanai was Yochanan. That was Yanai? Oh. He became the king I forgot how that turned out. Yochanan Kohen Gadol? Yes, it does say he was, here, Tosafos. Oh, yeah? That says right there he was Yochanan Kohen Gadol? No, not Yochanan, it just says Kohen Gadol. It doesn't say Yochanan Kohen Gadol, might maybe I know, it says this is Kohen Gadol from himself. Yeah, yeah, now you hear that, so he wasn't Kohen Gadol. Yeah, but I think Kohen Gadol? Yeah, that's why change his name Yochanan Kohen Gadol was this guy? It was Yanai. No, but the son of Yanai. Yanai is Yochanan Kohen Gadol? That's according to shita. There's one that's great and there's one that's The one that we say in Chanukah when we talk about Chanukah is the great one, of course. But the other guy that after 80 years No, it's Yeshuah ben Yeshuah ben Gamla. Yeshuah Yeshuah ben Ah, the names were changing every year. Because of Yochanan Kohen Gadol. Yochanan Kohen Gadol. The one that became a צדוקי, they pelted him with the etrogim. What? The one they pelted with the etrogim. That was him? Yeah, no, that was Yanai. All right, whatever. Bava Basra
