Rav Safra

All these Matanot are part of Tzedokah.

Remember the story with Rava and Rav Safra, I think it was, right? When Rav Yosef said that he said to the Shamans, give me your gifts.

Remember we had in the daf there, we had the whole story there about the whole stage that Abaya went through.

We went through four stages.

Incredible.

V'rava v'rav safra, ekv l'be'i maryuchna b'rei dirav chana bar'ada.

So Rava and Rav Safral went to the house of Maryukhnal, Okay, what happened? So remember, Rava and Rasafra are guests.

They go to the house, ultimately again, which is a discussion.

Okay, they go to the house, makes for them a beautiful delicacy.

So the Gemara says, and ultimately again, he goes ahead and either sings songs, or Shirim could also mean remnants, on a bad heart.

So we'll say, point over here is, this passage is not complimentary.

Rav Safra has this dream.

So Rava said to the waiter, the house help, who was a Kohen, and the Baal Abayis was giving his matanus to him, Zaki lan matata, let me be zohen the matanus kuna, that you have the rights to get, meaning you're the Kohen, but you're just the household, so why don't you pass along those matanus to me, because I would really like to have some tongue with mustard, it sounds delicious, so he was mizaka to him, And so Rava ate it, and he thought it was great.

Rav Safra thought that this was problematic, that this whole setup was problematic, so he did not want to eat it.

Rav Safra saw a pasuk in Mishle in his dream, where the pasuk says, like a worn out garment on a cold day.

or like vinegar that's poured on ground that you normally make clay adamah out of, and now it's destroyed because the vinegar was poured on it.

It's similar to both of those things, like someone who puts shira on a bad heart, which means someone who tries to teach divrei Torah to someone who doesn't understand them.

So basically what he was shown in his dream was that somebody doesn't understand Torah over here.

Maybe it's because I violated that which you said, meaning you said that Rav Yosef is the one who is Mechadesh, that the Kohen never needs to take possession of it, he can just pass it on to the Talmud Chacham, in the neighborhood who's poor, and that's fine.

So Rava had set up that the Shabbos was going to give it to him, and Rava was willing to participate, Rav Safra was not.

What should I do? Maybe because you, Rabbi, taught us.

That's not a problem for the owner to directly give the tongue to Rava, to Rav Safra.

So why didn't I eat it? I was too makhmed.

I was makhmed.

Okay, well, then if it wasn't that, what else was it? What else am I not understanding when I'm doing wrong? So what is it? Okay.

that was my question so if Rava is the one who did something wrong that he made the waiter do this you know trick so then why is why is Rav Safra getting the dream so should have come to Rava says Rava he was he was what he was huh because of a story Oh, because of this story.

Maybe.

His rebuke included the fact...

Evidently, presumably, Roussafra was either a cobbler, or he worked with leather, or there was a very popular metaphor, like words used in the metaphor of leather and shoemakers.

But either way, Rav Safra defended Runya against Ravina's brisk Rav Safra.

We don't really know why because he speaks in riddles.

He speaks in haiku.

But can you tell me what Rav Safra's Rav Safra was? If you give a microphone and put it on Rav Safra.

What was his Rav Safra? So what are the two possible Rav Safras? Remember, what are the two assumptions that Ravina denied Runya the rights? What are the two assumptions that Ravina? No, help me here.

You guys should do it.

Less you're in the air.

I say, please pay him.

sign an agreement and you hand over your you know so you can do the same thing here even before you get it you can never got it and what we're speaking about Rav Rav Safra, you'll see about Rav also being a Kohen.

Rav Rav Safra, you'll see about Rav also being a Kohen.

Rav Rav Safra, you'll see about Rav also being a Kohen.

Rav Rav Safra, you'll see about Rav also being a Kohen.

Whoever it was, he was the Bala Bait.

He made a special Egil, the third one, or the third period, or third year, or third of the month of his birth, whatever you describe, but the best means.

It's not a very complimentary Pasuk, right? This is what Rav Papa hears in his dream.

He gave it over, he just took it and he gave it directly to his guest.

Rava Erit, Rav Safra refused to eat it.

He says, no, how could you give it to me? You didn't yet give it to the Qayyim.

First you have to give it to the Qayyim, and then he can transfer and do whatever he wants with it.
