Our week of learning sponsors Mayor and Bria Samuel of Mosha Ben our day of learning sponsor Mr. and Mrs. Ringo on the yard site of Mrs. Ringo's mother Miriam Bas and our sponsors and Sarah Steinberg in the continued help 1:59 and for an ultimate. We thank all of our sponsors for their incredible generosity. And of course, we dedicate the learning of this holy month of to close out the month strong to close out the year strong just to pave the way for beautiful and 2:22 with that let us begin. We have a lot to do today. Today's we are picking up on and we left off we left off in the second wide line. So we'll say really a number of beautiful I want to I want to kind of apologize in advance as just because of the overwhelming amount of information we have to get through today. I'm not going 2:46 to do it justice. But just because I don't do it justice doesn't mean that you can't do it justice. So shabas is coming. incredible opportunities always to look further into some of these I'll try to point out whatever I can but it's a treasure chest today said in the beginning I used to think that there's a custom or practice that when someone is drinking you should not 3:14 remove something from the table says in the beginning I used to think that the reason for that was because What's going to happen? Because the person's drinking. Maybe they're going to choke. Maybe they're going to choke, right? Something's going to happen because you're taking something off the table. The person doesn't want you to take it off the table, but they're in the middle of drinking. 3:33 They're going to try to say something, do something. And create what happened. No, it's because it creates some type of spirit some type. this means once again yesterday we ended off in yesterday's d with this ru discussion. So there are these spirits of impurity that exist. So therefore again the real issue is that if you take something off the table 4:00 apparently while someone is drinking it causes this okay now the qualifies that's only if you take it off and don't return it but if you take it off the hill and put it back on then it's not a problem. Furthermore, that's only if you object more than four hours away from the table. 4:25 But if you take it but you leave within four hours of the table, it's fine. Furthermore, furthermore, this is only talking about something that is needed for the but to take off that's not needed for the that's not a big deal. 4:42 Okay. So ultimately again was even when it came to the mortar and the pestle not to take it off the table while someone was drinking. said as follows. In the beginning, I used to think the reason why people gather up crumbs when they finish eating ultimately again is because of cleanliness, right? The person the person is eating there's 5:17 crumbs of now this is specifically talking about crumbs of bread that the reason why a person goes ahead and you know gathers up crumbs of bread is because of cleanliness. to me. No. No. Because again, it's very going ahead and leaving bread like leaving like bread on the floor and things like that causes poverty. They will say, "By the way, if you ever notice, anyone who 5:41 comes from a European family will tell you that the one thing you never threw out was bread. Bread was never ever thrown out. It was considered to be a very bad simmon, which makes a lot of sense. Since bread, and it's not a superstitious thing, it's this. 5:58 Since bread represents the very cornerstone of sustenance, the idea of acting flippantly with bread or acting like in a disregarding fashion with bread was considered to be like a lack of for for what gave you and paved the way for poverty. So that's why the kosa there was this custom that people will clean up their breadcrumbs. They clean 6:20 up their breadcrumbs from from from the floor. So listen to the story. to cause. So there was this guy and listen to this. The angel who was in charge of poverty wanted to get this guy. In other words, there was this guy was supposed to become poor. So what happened? So the angel of poverty came along and again it was his aoda to go ahead and make the guy poor. The problem is he couldn't 6:51 make the guy poor. Why? Because this guy was so mak to always clean up his breadcrumbs. Incredible. One day this guy was eating bread on grass. On grass and figured, okay, grass, he's going to get the guy, right? Because you can't clean up your breadcrumbs when you're eating on grass. 7:09 So now the malik, right, the angel in charge of poverty said, "Okay, I got this guy." Bosser, listen to this. After the guy finished eating, what did the guy do when he finished eating? He took out a shovel and he uprooted the dirt where he was eating and he threw it into the river. Other words, so as this way he couldn't collect the breadcrumbs. So he literally 7:35 went ahead and discarded of all the dirt in an appropriate way. So he heard he heard the mal say, "Woe to me. Woe to me for this man has chased me out of his home. A tremendous idea. Again, a lot of these obviously have deeper meanings, but just a tremendous mask which is we never know 7:58 the power of little things. Everyone knows the power of heroic things, but we sometimes underestimate the power of little things. In this case again, Kar is trying to highlight even the way you treat your breadcrumbs could have an impact on your life. Even the little things we do day in and day out could have tremendous repercussions even in the celestial sphere. 8:26 So in the beginning I used to think that the reason we don't drink the foam on top of a drink is because it's it's it's unappealing. It's mo it's disgusting. However, then taught me in fact it causes points out over here is a condition where like you have a constant runny nose constant runny nose. 8:52 Okay. So the Gar says if you drink it it's going to cause this if you blow away the foam it's going to cause headaches. If you just wipe off the foam and just push it to the side, that is an omen for poverty. So, so what should you do? 9:13 Other words, I don't want to drink the foam. I don't want to drink the foam. So, I can't, right? If I drink it, if I drink it, it's problematic. If I blow it away, it's problematic. If I go ahead and I push it to the side, it's problematic. So, what do I do? 9:28 It's incredible. Shaku, what's the answer? What's the answer? The answer is wait and let the foam settle into the drink. Side sometimes the answer to life's problems is patience. And sometimes again as much as when we encounter a challenge we want resolution and we want it here and now. 9:48 Sometimes life does not work that way. Sometimes you just have to be patient and let the foam settle into the drink. Incredible. What happens? The Gimar says what happens if you did drink the foam. So the this is very interesting. If you drank the foam of wine so and now you don't want to get sick. The remedy to that is drink beer. This is such a good remedy 10:12 right then if you have problem with beer solves a lot of problems. The what happens if you drank the foam of beer? What do you do with that mayo? Then drink water. What happens if you drink the foam of water? There's no real remedy for that. You're just going to have to kind of wait it out. 10:31 What people say that poverty follows the poor. In other words, water was considered to be a poor man's drink. So again, therefore, again, there's no remedy if you end up drinking the foam of water. Incredible. 10:47 In the beginning I used to say that the reason you can't pluck a vegetable out of a bundle that the gardener bundle like in other words right when the gardener when the when the farmer gardener would go ahead and harvest the vegetables he'd tie them in a bundle. Sabay says we all know or at least says we all know that you don't go over to the bundle and pull out a vegetable and eat it. 11:13 says the reason I used to think that you can't do that is because it looks ravenous looks ravenous however but then explained to me no in fact the reason you can't do it is because it's a problem of sorcery that if you do this you subject yourself to certain sorcereric certain sorcereric uh influences tells a story 11:40 was traveling by quot So there was a certain there was a certain noble woman Rashi points out over here non-Jewish she said to them let me come on your boat she they did not want her to join them on the boat for whatever the reason so what happens so this woman was a sorceress so she cast a spell and the boat was unable to 12:05 move they also said the spell, right? So, apparently again knew how to can how to counter the sorcery. So, they also said something in the mood. So, this woman said to them, "I have no power over you. My sorcery has no power over you." Why? Number one, 12:31 number one, because you don't wipe yourself with pottery shards. So apparently, so apparently this is another good reason not to wipe yourself with pottery sharks, right? There's a whole list, right? But this is number one because apparently using them using them goes ahead and makes you susceptible to sorcery. Okay? says further. 12:51 You've never killed the louse on your clothing and you never ate the vegetable from the bundle that was bundled by by the by the gardener. So again I will say the point over here is apparently these practices make you susceptible to sorcery. 13:10 Incredible. So says says, "I used to think originally that the reason you don't eat the vegetable that falls off the table is because it's it's gross fell on the floor." So then explain to me, no, in fact that it causes very bad breath. Okay? 13:39 So listen to this. said in the beginning I used to think the reason you should not sit under a mara is like a gutter like a down spout a down spout you shouldn't sit underneath the down spout of the gutter is because of waste water so remember again what would happen in these gutters is we're used to gutters you know being used for rain but remember times of the rooftops were were 14:02 flat and was used as another area for activities of daily living so people do all kinds of stuff there bathe wash their clothing, other kinds of things. People would have drainage on their roof. So when water would come off the roofs, that was it could be all kinds of like uh water. So therefore, common sense would say, don't sit under a down spout because you don't know what's 14:24 coming down. But Mar said to me, no, there's another reason not to sit under downspouts because apparently that's where hang out. That's where Shadim hang out. So let's listen to this story. There were these there were these porters these these these uh these merchants who were well really they were trans transporters porters who were 14:51 carrying barrels of wine. They needed to rest a little bit. So what did they do? They put their barrels underneath the down spout and what happened the barrel the barrel burst. The barrel exploded. Rashi says over here, why did it explode? 15:09 Because there was there was a shade. There was a shade there and the shade broke the barrel. Okay, so we'll say watch this story. So the saysashi. So these men came to for a dtora. Who were they summoning to the dintora? Get ready for this. The shade. They were summoning the demon, the shade to the 15:31 ben. So the shade didn't show up. So now what happens? We'll say so Raash so so the the shade is not showing up sounded the chauffeur and excommunicated the shade for not showing up to basin. 15:50 So finally the shade showed up said to the shade why did you do this? Why why did you why did you why did you ruin the barrels? Right? Why did you go ahead and burst the barrels? What was I supposed to do? They put the barrel in my ear. Now again, I will say what the shade essentially was saying is look underneath the down mouth. That's where I was sleeping. That's where I was resting. These merchants came along. 16:16 They put the barrel inside my ear. I was in pain. I just I just reacted. My toashi said, "Well, one second. The area under the downspout, that's public area. That's public area. So what are you doing sleeping in public area right? You you have no right you have a right to be there but you don't have a right to break people's stuff you acted in an abnormal fashion you have to pay the 16:42 merchants back for the damage. So the shade that said to Raashi, "No problem, just a I don't have the I don't have it on
