Shlomie SilvermanHOST
I mean, that was the halakhic part of the shiur.
Shlomie SilvermanHOST
We had Yaakov Hillel, who gave us a shiur,
Moshe ScheinermanGUEST
a very light Kabbalah.
Moshe ScheinermanGUEST
It was beautiful.
speaker_0HOST
That's sometimes done if somebody's, God forbid, sick to, again, because the-- it's like bringing down a new essence.
speaker_0HOST
Rav Yaakov Hillel, who's a great kabbalist today, in his commentary on Pirkei Avot in chapter one, Mishna three, he says that changing the name of a person is like changing their soul.
speaker_0HOST
"Shinui shemo shel adam hu gam shinui nishmato." Changing a person's name is by definition changing their soul because a name is a description of the essence of the person, and that's true not only of names, but everything in physical reality.
speaker_0HOST
So I hope that this was interesting, and thank you so much for listening.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
He said that I think the Rambam holds that only to Tzadikim and then everybody else pretty much holds that, and this is a bomb that holds that it goes to everyone, the Jewish people, that the direct involvement in life.
Moshe Chaim EadeHOST
Rabbi Yaakov Hillel, shlita, told the Roshima that when it says that Hashgacha practice is only on Tzadikim, so Rabbi Yaakov Hillel said, Amek kulam Tzadikim.
Moshe Chaim EadeHOST
I will tell you a story of Moshe Feinstein, which I think we can accept is probably more of a Litvishe gadol.
Moshe Chaim EadeHOST
So once upon a time, it used to be that people would get their milk in glass bottles.
David BibiHOST
And remember, three years ago on that morning, it felt as though that embrace, this...
David BibiHOST
We spoke about it, that Rav Yaakov Hillel, someone asked him a question is, what does it mean that it happened on Shemini Atzeret? And he said it's really very scary because Shemini Atzeret is the day that Hashem is supposed to embrace us.
David BibiHOST
Does it mean that Hashem was basically rejecting us on, uh, on that day? It's almost like on the wedding day, you know, walking out.
David BibiHOST
And I thought about those words for three years, and, um, I wanna be careful 'cause I'm gonna tell you what-- when it's my own thing, I like to tell you it's my own thing, so that people don't have to accept.
David BibiHOST
'Cause generally, ninety-eight percent of what I tell you is, is quoted from, from the rabbis.
David BibiHOST
But this is my own thing, and it's based on what Rav Yaakov Hillel said, and it's based on something that my rabbi taught us again and again.
David BibiHOST
So my rabbi, Rabbi Avitan, would quote us, "Ve'ahavta lereiacha kamochah." You should love your fellow like yourself.
David BibiHOST
And everybody knows the first half of the pasuk, and the rabbi would always remind us, what's the rest of the pasuk? Ani Hashem.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
The, the, there was a Maisa Shehaya that, uh, as follows.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
The author of HaYoshev Hayam, which I think is Rav Yaakov Moshe Hillel, um, had a, uh, situation where he was zocheh to Mekayem the mitzvah of Pidyon Petur Chamor berov am in Yerushalayim.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
They did one of these Ma'amados where they did a Pidyon Petur Chamor, and he was Poda the chamor with a se that was bought with Esen be shalosh eleph liros.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
And when the Petur Chamor, uh, um, itself wa, was worth, uh, three thousand liros, and after he gave the se to the Kohen, uh, who happened to have been the Admar, the Toldos Aharon Rebbe, he gave it to him l'shem, uh, l'shem Pidyon.
Moshe ElefantHOST
And there's a very interesting discussion that I saw based on a story that happened.
Moshe ElefantHOST
There was the Shemri Amunim Rebbe was very interested in I'm sorry, Rav Yaakov Hillel was very interested in fulfilling the mitzvah of Pinyin Petah Hamar.
Moshe ElefantHOST
So he kept on buying donkeys, but we know it's only Petah Hamar if that donkey has a male donkey.
Moshe ElefantHOST
And he bought three donkeys.
Moshe ElefantHOST
And many suggest that the reason Rashi gives that example is because it's only, as far as Hilchis Pinyin Petah Hamor, The only trefa that's considered a concern is a trefa which is visibly noticeable.
Moshe ElefantHOST
If it's not a trefa which is visibly noticeable, even though, of course, we would not be allowed to eat such an animal, as far as Hilchas Pigeon Petach Amor, it would be considered a valid pigeon.
Moshe ElefantHOST
Even though there were all these considerations, why not to disqualify the Pinyin Petah Hamar, still Rav Yaakov Hillel Shlita gave the Rebbe the value of the Hamar, because as we just learned, and have been learning, if you give the Kayin the value of the Hamar, so then it's considered a valid Pinyin Petah Hamar, even if you didn't use a Seth.
Moshe ElefantHOST
Furthermore, says the Mishnah, V'loi B'Klayim, an animal that's Klayim may not be used.
