ZevHOST
But there's more to it.
ZevHOST
First of all, the Maharsha, one of the great commentators, says there, wait a second, there are lots of tzadikim who die.
ZevHOST
We don't make a fast day on all of their, on all of their death, uh, uh, you know, on their days.
ZevHOST
There wouldn't be a day of the year you wouldn't have a, a fast day.
Rabbi StarkHOST
[Hebrew] Some might ask that you're asking Hashem for how to feel, um, and people do ask that, "How can you ask Hashem how to fee- feel, like, get yiras shamayim? Uh, that sounds, like, impossible".
Rabbi StarkHOST
So first of all, the Maharsha in Brachos on Daf Yod says that you can ask Hashem to feel things, uh, even though [Hebrew] that Hashem's not in charge of your yiras shamayim, so why are you asking him for it? He says, "No, if you ask Hashem, you chose to daven.
Rabbi StarkHOST
You chose to daven", and that's called [Hebrew].
Rabbi StarkHOST
So you could ask, even ask Hashem for yiras shamayim.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
That's the other Maharsha, Gilyon Maharsha.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
There are two Maharshas in the Shas Gemara.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
There's the Maharsha, Rav Shmuel Eliezer.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
That's the hid-- the mar-- famous Maharsha.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
But then Rav Shlomo Eger also has Ha'aras, and it's called Gilyayen Maharsha.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
That fits with this Gemara.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
There's another two things that come in points, the Maharsha points out.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
Number one, who saved Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah from the fire? Which Malach did he send? Let's go, let's go.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
Gabriel, very good.
Chaim WolosowHOST
By the rabbis, it's different.
Chaim WolosowHOST
And the Rebbe actually also references the Ma- Maharsha over there, because the Maharsha makes a point, because when the son came back, he didn't say, "Well, they didn't bless me, but they cursed me." He says, "They caused me pain." So that is to s- Th- that means that he himself, Rebbe Elazar, the Rebbe Shimon Yochai, understood that they weren't really cursing him, but he didn't understand what it is.
Chaim WolosowHOST
That's why he says, "They caused me pain." So they meant for the good, and on the contrary, they said to him, the Maharsha explains there, two explanation.
Chaim WolosowHOST
Uh, he wanted them to explain it how this is really the blessing to go back to his father, or bechalal they wanted to sharpen him, and that's why.
Chaim WolosowHOST
So the Rebbe is explaining in the letter that over there in the Kedushas HaGados Maharsha in the Gemara, by a Yid, you can say that it was said in a special way in order to sharpen.
Chaim WolosowHOST
That's why it could mean something else than curses.
Chaim WolosowHOST
But when a goy curses you, it's curses.
Chaim WolosowHOST
So he doesn't have...
David BashevkinHOST
They are separated.
David BashevkinHOST
In fact, there was a work that came out in the 16th century by Rabbi Shmuel Eidels, who was sometimes known by his acronym, the Maharsha.
David BashevkinHOST
The Maharsha is printed in the back of most traditional Talmuds, and there's something very interesting if you read the introduction.
David BashevkinHOST
He says that he originally wrote two separate works.
David BashevkinHOST
He wrote one work that was just focusing on the practical law, on the debates going back and forth, and he wrote another work that was just focused on the narrative and the theology, and he writes in his introduction, he says, "I regret that.
David BashevkinHOST
That is the beauty of Jewish law, that it is cultivating a spiritual practice, but with discipline, day in and day out.
David BashevkinHOST
But the ideas that animate the law, that is found in Aggadota.
David BashevkinHOST
And like the Maharsha writes in his introduction, these should not be separated.
Jonathan SacksHOST
Know that I alone am the Lord your God.
Jonathan SacksHOST
According to the Maharsha, there are 600,000 interpretations of Torah.
Jonathan SacksHOST
Each individual is theoretically capable of a unique insight into its meaning.
Jonathan SacksHOST
The French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas commented, The revelation has a particular way of producing meaning which lies in its calling upon the unique within me.

He says there, And the Rosh Hashanah is this thing.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
I said, the Tardemo, which I gave to the Marisha, and with Chava, that the Rosh Hashanah is a beautiful thing.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
Can you be someone who can bring children around the world? Can you be a person who can do this and that? And this has already happened.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
And this has already happened to you.
Shalom RosnerHOST
Kebetza, right? Rashi is taking the stand.
Shalom RosnerHOST
The Maharsha points out here.
Shalom RosnerHOST
Rashi is taking the stand like the Tosfos that we had at the beginning of the Parag, back on Kuf, Yud, Zayin, Amabes, where we discussed what is the shir for Tumas Ochlin.
Shalom RosnerHOST
We said everybody agrees in order to become Tamei, a food, even a tiny amount.
Zvi KahnHOST
The difference between punishment or reward in this world versus the next world is going to really form the theme of the Zer Shimshon's comments in the piece tonight.
Zvi KahnHOST
So on that Gemara and Masech to Tainis, the Maharsha asked the question, the Adarabba, that that Gemara seemingly is saying the opposite of what we would expect it to say, and it is making something that we know dependent on something that we don't know.
Zvi KahnHOST
And he's going to explain.
Zvi KahnHOST
The fact that sadiqim receive punishment or have suffering in this world, that we see, that we experience, that we know to be factual.
