Rabbi StarkHOST
And this is a phenomena that exists by the Esreg tree, and that's how Chazal identified that this pre-8 Hadar is one of the Arba Minim.
Rabbi StarkHOST
Now, what exactly is this supposed to mean to us? I mean, it could be just a Xeris HaKasav, but we know, as my Rebbe Rav Moshe Shapiro would say, Whoever has a listening ear could hear something so much deeper over here.
Rabbi StarkHOST
What does it mean that in the tree you taste the fruit? So in life, there's an issue of focus.
Rabbi StarkHOST
We've been talking about growth, and gematria hatzlacha, and tshuva, how to really grow properly, how to grow in a way that will get to where we're supposed to be.
Shay SchachterGUEST
and really make us lose focus for what it is that we're supposed to be doing.
Shay SchachterGUEST
And to address that, I'd like to share a story about Rav Moshe Shmuel Shapiro.
Shay SchachterGUEST
Any of you ever heard of Rav Moshe Shmuel Shapiro? There was a very famous person in Eretz Yisrael.
Shay SchachterGUEST
His name was Rav Moshe Shapiro.
Shay SchachterGUEST
but that's not the same.
Shay SchachterGUEST
And his father tells him, listen, the Chafetz Chaim is due to be at the train station at the platform at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shay SchachterGUEST
So I'm going to pick you up at 1.30. We're going to go.
Shay SchachterGUEST
Sarah, Moshe Shmuel Shapiro, is a young child, is playing with his friends, and there he is, his father comes at 10.30 in the morning, he says, don't forget, in another few hours I'm going to come pick you up to go to the platform to see the holy Chafetz Chaim.
Dovi SafierGUEST
And this is a time where Yeshiva Bachum wanted to get out of Europe, also partially because of the draft, for other reasons.
Dovi SafierGUEST
And they managed to recruit, you know, some of the greats in Mir, or Shmuel Rozovsky, or Zalman Rotberg, or Zalman Rotberg, or Moshe Shmuel Shapiro, or Simcha Kaplan, who was later the Reuven Tzvas, or Tzvi Markowitz, or Kaelin Stalin.
Dovi SafierGUEST
And this was a nucleus, really, for, I would say, the golden years, the next 15 years of the Lomza Petach Tikvah Yeshiva, which you'll see in the article, really was the you know, maybe towards the end, the 30s, the 40s, maybe had the greatest roster of any yeshiva, you know, in modern times.
Dovi SafierGUEST
You know, mention of Khan Kandievsky, Moshe Shmuel Shapiro, Rav Yisachar Meir learned there, Shalman Shavardzhan learned there.
Dovi SafierGUEST
I mean, you can go on and on and on.
Dovi SafierGUEST
Then Panovich opens and then really comes into its own in the mid-40s.
Eli MenagedHOST
We're making ourselves our Tikkun, we're making our Zivug, we're putting them back together, our Yichud, the lower and the upper waters, by offering it up, Nisuch HaMaim HaTzikot, offering it back up.
Eli MenagedHOST
Now, returning to Rav Moshe Shapiro, Rav Moshe Shapiro explains that the Maim Bokhim, these crying waters, he writes that they're crying in the present tense, meaning Chabar HaChazal don't call it the waters that cried, meaning they cried and Hashem has metayest them.
Eli MenagedHOST
Hashem consoled them and gave them this option of the Nisuch HaMaim, and we've had a couple of Sukkot since then, we've had a couple of Korbanot since then, two temples, and now they're happy.
Eli MenagedHOST
No, no, that's not what they're called.
Eli MenagedHOST
Actually, rather, they were by David HaMelech.
Eli MenagedHOST
But then he says, Or maybe we can say that, no, Hashem really did... who did make those holes originally, but then they got filled up with dirt, with dust, with rocks, and now David HaMelech has to now do the work to re-dig them.
Eli MenagedHOST
And Rav Moshe Shapiro now, he goes with this approach.
Eli MenagedHOST
He says, of course you have to work these gemaras together, that Hashem originally had made these special barash sheets in the very beginning, had created these drain pipes, but now they got blocked.
StarkHOST
I'm asking you to change the rules for us.
StarkHOST
By the way, my Rebbe asked a stunning question, Rav Moshe Shapiro.
StarkHOST
It says, whoever says Hashem lets things slide, now let his life slide.
StarkHOST
Like you want to live wishy-washy? So then Hashem will make it that way.
Aaron LopianskyHOST
A Gavur.
Aaron LopianskyHOST
And so he sat with Moshe Shapiro.
Aaron LopianskyHOST
And he told Moshe Shapiro, Akanesh Baruch Hu is a Toiv.
Aaron LopianskyHOST
And, you know, wasn't terribly taken by it.
Aaron LopianskyHOST
I don't know who he remarked it to, I don't know, whatever.
Aaron LopianskyHOST
I remember, that was Machmavo, I remember.
Aaron LopianskyHOST
I know some Rav Zulman's under me.
Aaron LopianskyHOST
And Rav Moshe Shapiro came to Rav Nachum, Rav Zulman.
Dovid OrlofskyHOST
I don't remember the whole story.
Dovid OrlofskyHOST
But somebody asked that to Rav Moshe Shapiro and he says, you know, this is a shtick that the people do.
Dovid OrlofskyHOST
He says, What the Torah says is forbidden because it's dishonest.
Dovid OrlofskyHOST
You call it a shtick.
Aubrey HirschHOST
Yes.
Aubrey HirschHOST
So I will get to the answer that we find within the Maggid, which goes back to, to the original point, but I will add that I heard from Rabbi Moshe Shapiro zatzal, how can we know that HaKadosh Baruch Hu will do a miracle when, as you say, not everyone lives through the year? Rabbi Moshe explained there's a difference between the yachid and the tzibur.
Aubrey HirschHOST
The individual does not know, but Klal Yisrael know that a miracle will be performed for them in their constant and continuous existence.
Aubrey HirschHOST
But there are other approaches.
Eli MenagedHOST
Okay, that's the Gemara in Temurah.
Eli MenagedHOST
says Rav Moshe Shapiro, this is in the new sefer that came out, his pirush on Pirkei Avot came out from his Talmidim.
Eli MenagedHOST
So in the first Mishnah in Pirkei Avot, he says as follows, that Yeshua not asking Moshe Rabbeinu any questions, saying, I now know it all.
Eli MenagedHOST
I've been by your side.
Eli MenagedHOST
And every day he would forget, and the Rashi explains that he would remember a little bit more every single day, but ultimately he couldn't get it all, and Hashem has to give it to him as a Matanah.
Eli MenagedHOST
So Moshe Rabbeinu on his great level could only get to the full Torah through a Matanah.
Eli MenagedHOST
You know, so now Yeshua as well, you know, if we can add, from what we took from Moshe Shapiro, if he's the moon, the moon, all the light comes as a matana.
Eli MenagedHOST
And Yeshua has to understand, everything is matana, matana, but if everything is matana, we can understand over here how Yeshua could forget, because even Moshe Rabbeinu, the great Moshe Rabbeinu, only had that level because Hashem gave it to him as a present at the very, very end.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Most of the fasts are really about Bais HaMegdash.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Parab, Moshe Shapiro says something here that is incomprehensible.
Shlomo KatzHOST
This is something that is really strange and incomprehensible.
Shlomo KatzHOST
The face of Yeshua on the altar says this.
