Okay, we jump into more the horror for the Cholamon. We had such a meaningful session last time about appreciating what the Ramkhal was doing for us. What old Sadiq Doliadoris Vidorenu do for us. Whoa. How deep is Omekadin? How deep is judgment? Right? Now, I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on this, it's not what we speak about mostly. And uh, but this, those that want to know about Omekaden, want to know about Sky Bonus, this is a very good place on a Hashkopic level to find it. Kimiyamo Biomeddin, who can stand beyond dinner? Who can justify himself? Oh, why do you wake up late for Shaqis? Well, you know, I was tired. Well, why when it was a trip did you wake up? For this, you stood up for that, you didn't stand up. Why'd you stand up for your rights and you didn't stand up for your neighbors' rights? Uh huli vahuli. That's what it means when you'd stuck. You know, Katifbuch knows everything. He's a very, very good lawyer. Hu Adain Hu aid. When do we think about this for Bose? I think Muslim or Shashana and Zharonis, we think about that. Me Lonivka kyomiza. Right? Me yitztuk lifne borakashap is a called over katanogadon. His hashka, his viewpoint is on everything, tall or small. Right? So it's incredible. Right? That what the Midasiddin is, how deep the Middle Siddin is, and how far reaching it is, and how it's on everything. I don't feel right to speak about this myself, just sharing together with everybody. Huh. So, what should be our reaction to this when you think about it? We should be shaken in the skari tummy to be always nervous. Every every no line is gonna work. No, no uh legal loophole is gonna get help us. And he says to a person, my seiko, I've been always saying sichow, I felt embarrassed. What's siak? What discussion is gonna say? I feel sichakalish means to my shadin. Even the Sikhakal, you came home from work and you had a hard time, and your boss was bad to you, and you said lush and har about him to your wife. Not a not a dracha, not a situation you had to work for. It wasn't the towelis, nor different interim, as your L-O-O-R, local orthodox rabbi, what you're let's say, what you're not let's say, the Lash and Hara hotlines, but there was this you couldn't justify, right? You couldn't justify that small that small thing, right? And you really you were very, very careful about Lash and Hara. And generally, you went to Alakasiday, and you you're part of the Khabbatz Khan Heritage Foundation, you made the videos, you watched the videos, you and you didn't you learned uh Shemir Salash and others for him, and you then you made Shuram, and you were Madaktik, etc. And you know, one time at night you said to your wife something unnecessary. Kharushbrohu is gonna mention that. You remember? You remember Tuesday? No, I don't remember, Kharushbrohu. You do remember, let's remember. You want to see the tape? Here it is, there it is. My boss is such a good sikhaka, a small nothing conversation. He's gonna remember that. Oh Domru, and this is what we'll spend a lot of time in the next session. Usvivov Nisaramod, and around him it's very like stormy. Saar. I think it means Nisaro. I think the Shinnanasin makes change. Millamid, famous statement, and explains a lot of very important Hashkapic statement. Midaktik Im Khasid Khudasar. Kharashboh is very medical khazid. Sometimes one wonders, how did Sadiqim get so punished? Because Qurishbour was extra midactic on them. Okay. Just like a uh coach can be extra midactic on a person who has the greatest potential, right? I tried the most to get the most out of you because I saw you could be you wanted greatness and you had the potential for greatness. The other boys on the team were coming to play high school basketball. But I saw you could make it an NBA and make millions of dollars and have a decent parnassa, whatever. They probably didn't use the word partnassa back then, and I know you wanted that. I had to be tough on you, I had to grind you, and that's how good coaches are. The other boys are playing high school basketball. We want to win, okay. But then they're going on to college to go on business, real estate, maybe Shiva. But you you were built for greatness. And we'll see many, many examples. We continue. Okay. Again, I just want to reflect a second, and um, this is the last level. This is the level three. There's the Shlomiadas, there's the Phusemehem, and then there's the Hamonam Rabosai. What do we see here? We spoke last time about how much the Ramkal loves Khaliser, and how much is from as high as he is, how much he's penetrating into our world. But this is how far he went. This shows us where the Jewish people was. The Ramchal felt. Why do you write, if it would be today, you wouldn't stop there? Ah, you wouldn't stop there. Rabin Ramchal would not. This chapter would be a lot longer today. You'd have to come up with a lot more stuff, right? And that's why, at first, let me just say clearly: if these varas move you, in any one of them, like we discussed before, even if you don't think you're generally Schlamiyadas, if that gets you, do it. It's all about results. Dollars and cents or Bisolanter, do it. If Kovit does it for you, do it. If Skybonus does it, do it. But just do it do it. I'm speaking to myself. Get results. More Torah Mitzus, less Vatara, less Lashinhara, more chesed, less sinaskinim, all the good stuff. Whatever is gonna get you to get there, and don't let perfection of Lishma be the Ma'akave to the greatness of a life of Torah Mitzusis as much as possible. That's the overall essence of this peric. But this was the stopping point. He didn't have four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. He didn't say um, he didn't say uh Puerto Rican vacation. He didn't need to say that. Kleiser was on a level that there were Schlamiadas, there were Phusim, and there was the Hamonam. And speaking to the Hamonam about Skarvonish got them there. Believe me, speaking to the Hamonam about Skarvonish Teddy will not get them there. That means Klaiser was in an amazing Madraga back then. It's nice to know. Hashivenu Avinu Kiked uh Khadesh Mainu Kikedam. That's the Khadesh Amenu Kikedam. A lot of greatness in our generation, where a lot of lacking in our generation, also. I think sometimes people emphasize too much this, sometimes people emphasize too much that. In my humble opinion, I M O H O P. O. I M H O. In a certain way we have a greatness of generation, Dorsho, Dorsho Gulas. Yeah, there's also a Dorshow, you know, craziness. Not just outside, inside. What works is the fact that this doesn't work Mubha so much. Back then it moved them. I think it's a it's a nice thing to know that 300 years ago, whenever the Ramkal wrote this exactly, I forgot the exact dates, but 250, 200, 300 years ago, Klaisul was on a level that there were Schlame Adas, that there were Phusim, and there were Hamonam. And speaking to Hamonam about Skarbaonish was enough to get them there. That the Ramkal knew would bring the nations along. And Klais was on a very, very high level. I thought that was a nice point to bring out. And tomorrow, next time, Bas Ratashem, we'll learn more about the um we'll learn more about the different definit the examples of how Khadish Bovis Badaktik Im Hasidov Khut Hasar.
