speaker_0HOST
It's virtually explicit.
speaker_0HOST
The, the, the Midrash Tanchuma certainly says so, but it's virtually explicit that the honey here is bee honey.
speaker_0HOST
It, it mentions that there were bees, and it mentions there was honey, which is practically explicit that the honey here is bee honey.
speaker_0HOST
Shimshon used this for his famous riddle about, uh, [Hebrew language] and so on.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerHOST
The, um, the Chinuch writes that HaKadosh Baruch Hu does not extend teshuva to non-Jews.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerHOST
And there's a Midrash, Midrash Tanchuma, topic of Parashat Hazino, that, uh, when it comes to Klal Yisrael, HaKadosh Baruch Hu gives us the mitzvah of teshuva, but that's a g-a gift to Klal Yisrael.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerHOST
So many of the meforshim say that's not true.
Yaakov B. NeuburgerHOST
Yom Kippur afternoon, we laying the parasha, we laying the parasha of Teshuvas Nidbei.
Binyomin WeinribHOST
All these 10 Madrigals, such as Ramazan, all of Klaizel, have their own nakuda, and in that nakuda, each one of them are able to go ahead and be unique.
Binyomin WeinribHOST
The Tanchuma doesn't say this, but I think this is probably part of what the Tanchuma means, that that's why it begins, Roshachem, And then it continues with the Adonai Medregis.
Binyomin WeinribHOST
Could be Rosh Haicham means on the Adonai Medregis.
Binyomin WeinribHOST
Which means you're all Rosh Haicham.
speaker_0HOST
You say, Rabbi, the real reality of Torah, what do you mean? So first of all, it's known that the Torah has different dimensions.
speaker_0HOST
It's known as the PaRDeS, the, the simple layer of the Torah, the what's hinted to in the Torah, the Midrash of the Torah, and then there is the mystical part of the Torah.
speaker_0HOST
So the question is, when we talk about the mystical, uh, elements of the Torah, right? The Zohar, for those who don't know, the Zohar is really a commentary on the Torah.
speaker_0HOST
So when the Zohar talks about mystical concepts that are hinted to in the Torah, does that just mean the Torah is like a great book of hints hinting to some greater mystical reality? So it's actually, Jewish mysticism describes it as this.

speaker_0HOST
Um, but be that as it may, um, the last part will again take a section in Jewish teachings, and we'll explain it mystically.
speaker_0HOST
Just again to show you how Jewish Torah teachings, all of them have a mystical truth and reality.
speaker_0HOST
So what is it? There's a Midrash that tells us like this.
speaker_0HOST
The Midrash tells us like this.
Eli MenagedHOST
So, there's a famous story, you know, Avraham takes Yitzchak up for the Akedah, and Yitzchak almost dies, and then they come back and Sarah Imenu dies right away.
Eli MenagedHOST
And Rashi over there, and the stories that we all know is that, why did Sarah Imenu die? Because she found out about the Akedah, and according to the Midrashim that we always are taught, you have the Midrash, the Tanchuma, and the Pirkei Derabi Elezer, the Satan came to her and told her the story, And either she died of happiness because she found that he was still alive, or she died of sadness because she didn't know what actually really happened.
Eli MenagedHOST
But according to the standard way we were taught, it was the Satan that came to her and tricked her.
Eli MenagedHOST
And that's what's normally taught.
Noach LawrenceHOST
Okay, again, not exactly a model of ethical behavior that we're seeing in the root of this word.
Noach LawrenceHOST
But then Rashi cites Midrash Tanchuma, which is actually from...
Noach LawrenceHOST
the 500s to the 800s.
Noach LawrenceHOST
To us, all these figures are old, centuries, centuries, centuries old.
Noach LawrenceHOST
To us, it's all old.
Noach LawrenceHOST
It can be helpful to remember that for Rashi, he was actually modern to himself, but Midrash Tanchuma for him was already 300 to 600 years old.
Noach LawrenceHOST
For him to cite it was like citing John Locke for us.
Noach LawrenceHOST
And Midrash Tanchuma interprets this verb Vayapilu to be similar to the word Ophel, meaning darkness.
