Michael RosensweigHOST
He doesn't say, well again, because Ramban speaking, the tradition in Sfarad was that, you know, they say Al-Debrayt Torah, they don't say Lashon of Debrayt Torah.
Michael RosensweigHOST
But the Girs, of course, and Ashkenazis, so that would actually even strengthen the idea that this is about Ibn Attar.
Michael RosensweigHOST
Now, there is some ambiguity here, because then he compares it to Avram Avinu, right? I should say two things very quickly.
Michael RosensweigHOST
One is, again, we'll summarize all this I mentioned the other day, that there are whole lists that different Rishonim and Akronim have to highlight the uniqueness and the centrality of even the linchpin status, we'll say, of Shabbos.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerUNKNOWN
[clears throat] So in one of the pre-shiurim, shiurim we discussed the, the Ben Chassani which gives a lot of, uh, meaningfulness to learning the sector Shabbos this year.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerUNKNOWN
Ben Chassani was the Or HaChaim.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerUNKNOWN
Yaakov Yitzchak Berlinger was a, uh, was a rav in part of Germany, rav in Altona.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerUNKNOWN
But he was a rav of a whole area.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerUNKNOWN
Rashi says that it's the zechus, it's the hiba bamitzvah that Klal Yisroel has that takes up the shofar, and we can't wait to do it.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerUNKNOWN
Ramash ki tikuna, that's ma'arviv es hasot.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerUNKNOWN
So the Or HaChaim says, "So this year, what's gonna be ma'ale zecherenechem l'maala? What's going to be ma'arviv es hasot?" So Or HaChaim says, "Chazal told us not to blow shofar." Nesher Chochmah has a very striking word.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerUNKNOWN
Nesher Chochmah writes a parashat HaMores thing.
Shai FinkelsteinHOST
from this source, from this covenant of Arvut, of being a guarantor for each other.
Shai FinkelsteinHOST
So the Or HaChaim in a way reads the narrative in a way as I made you a nation and I'm going to be your God and you know how I made you a nation? With this special covenant of being a guarantor for each other.
Shai FinkelsteinHOST
And in a way, it's even being a guarantor for generations that are not here.
Shai FinkelsteinHOST
meaning the spam and the line of responsibility that we have, the people who are living now, is for generations from the past, generations of the future, and for ourselves.
Shai FinkelsteinHOST
Why? Does the Torah here change the common language and says, That's the first question.
Shai FinkelsteinHOST
Second question is, obviously, if we have a list of which means, the heads of your tribes, and the tribes, and the elders, and the police officers, why do we need to say, and everyone else? Just say, including everyone in that list.
Shai FinkelsteinHOST
So we obviously need to understand how this verse, how can we understand this verse? So, Deor HaChaim suggests the following.
Shai FinkelsteinHOST
We need to understand the intention, the meaning behind this verse.
Shai FinkelsteinHOST
Exactly the questions that we ask, which means first we need to understand this verse, B, we need to understand why do you need to detail it.
Elazar MuskinHOST
Mm.
David MahlerHOST
Interestingly, the Or HaChaim writes that the word va'anita, the first word of the posuk, is from the word anava, which means humility, that that exa- that's exactly what he's doing.
David MahlerHOST
He's saying, "You know, now I might come, and I've, I've accumulated so much agriculturally.
David MahlerHOST
I'm coming, and it, it, it looks like a little bit...
RechnitzGUEST
You look at the passage, makes a lot of sense.
RechnitzGUEST
You look at the Or HaChaim HaKadosh, he says one word, changes the whole passage and teaches a tremendous lesson.
RechnitzGUEST
The Or HaChaim says a word, vadois.
RechnitzGUEST
It's for sure.
RechnitzGUEST
Vadois.
RechnitzGUEST
Vadois.
RechnitzGUEST
What's for sure? The Or HaChaim says if a person has two wives, one that he loves and one that he hates, it's for sure that the one that he hates is gonna have the child first.
RechnitzGUEST
It's a statement.
Etan SchnallHOST
And if he's a non-Jew writing it, "ba shvus de'shvus ai dei ein Yehudi." And that's why they permitted it.
Etan SchnallHOST
So this is a big concept in, in, uh, in Ohr HaChaim.
Etan SchnallHOST
It's a double derabanan.
Etan SchnallHOST
But that's important because he says the only hetter over here is because it's a double derabanan.
Shalom RosnerHOST
Again, the Primal Gadim is, um, you know, all that-- He wrote a commentary on the Magen Avram and on the Taz.
Shalom RosnerHOST
He wrote a commentary in the ba- in the back of, of the Or HaChaim, the back of Yarodea, explaining the Noseh Kelim.
Shalom RosnerHOST
From the story, Rav Schechter once said over that he was sitting next to Rav Moshe Feinstein at a wedding, and somebody came over to ask Rav Moshe a question, and he gave him an answer.
Shalom RosnerHOST
And then he walked away, turned to Rav Schechter and said, "He thought he'd get me on him before his Primal Gadim." Like, Rav Moshe really thought the guy was, like, testing him, and Rav Moshe knew Primal Gadim by heart, right? Rav Schechter gets very emotional when he says this story.
AmitaiHOST
He says, he brings interesting idea.
AmitaiHOST
He says the Or HaChaim.
AmitaiHOST
He says the Or HaChaim said to these people, "Do Teshuva." You know? And they said to him, "If you promise us that we're going to die tomorrow." He says, "Why?" "Because we know that the, uh...
AmitaiHOST
We're gonna have to, we're g- we're going to, we're going to have to fight yetzer hara again, and we can't." So this is the, the war, but you have to ask Hashem, because the difference is when somebody asks Hashem- For [speaks foreign language], for spirituality, okay? This is a big thing that Hashem will help you with.
AmitaiHOST
If you're asking for spirituality.
Ari ShishlerHOST
K'mash kos be'erachaim sheloomer be'dir ke'even achas ela shois min ha'nesitza zeh reshev be'binyon.
Ari ShishlerHOST
Uh, as the Ohr HaChaim learns from the pasuk that it's not even talking over here about damaging an, an entire stone.
Ari ShishlerHOST
It's just that you leave any kind of scratch mark on the, on the building, that is already problematic.
Ari ShishlerHOST
And we understand that because it's derived from the halachos of, of Avodah Zarah, where kol shu does not mean a shior, kol shu means any amount.
