This Torah class is brought to you by TorahAnytime.com. Every mensch, every person in life goes through bizyones, embarrassment. Bizyones. What is bizyones? Daf men doch nisht redn. Doesn't need any explanation. Every person at some point vet gebissen, gets bitten by bizyones. Sometimes it's from the family, sometimes it's work, embarrassed of his job, and sometimes people embarrass him. Bizyones. There's no such a thing as, I mentioned, vos geit nisht duch bizyones. It's part of life. It's part of living. I'd like to discuss, through the parsha, the avodah. A Yid geit duch, how a Yid accepts bizyones. When he's confronted with bizyones, what is the avodah? First afn, shtaign fun dem. A mensch darf shtaign. Everybody goes through matzavim in life, and the matzavim we're given, me zol shtaign fun dem. Vos is the avodah for an Yid when it's kumt bizyones? Lomir anfangen. Let's begin with a pasuk in the parsha. Rachel ... steht in pasuk, Vayizkor Elokim es Rachel, vayishma eileha Elokim, vayiftach es rachmah. The Ribono Shel Olam remembers Rachel, and He hears, vayishma, He listens to her. And the Rishonim is mashma that there were two things here: the zechirah, there was a zechirah that the Ribono Shel Olam remembered her b'sachus, un der tzveiter zach is geven vayishma eileha Elokim, as the Ribono Shel Olam listened, tefillah. Az eiz l'churah mevuar in the Rishonim. Hasidah two shlavim. It's two steps. Vayizkor Elokim es Rachel, vayishma eileha Elokim, u'meileh vayiftach es rachmah. What was the schirah, what was the zechus that the Rabbeinu Shalom remembered for her? So it's a big machlokes rishonim. Rashi learns, zachah lah shemaslah simyanei l'acheisah. The Rabbeinu Shalom remembered that she gave the simanim. She was selfless. For the kavod of her sister, sheaveg gegeben the simanim. She gave away what at that time looked at as her whole life. She gave away a gantze leben. She was going to be nafal b'goralei shel Eisav, and she gave it away not to embarrass her sister. And then Rashi adds, v'shehoysah metzirah shelo tala b'goralei shel Eisav. The tzaar that she had not to fall in the goral shel Eisav is Rashi: one pshat, two pshatim. Okay, mekan klarent, is it all one big pshat or it's two different zichronos that the Rabbeinu Shalom remembered? But al kol panim, this is klar: Vayizkor Elokim es Rachel, according to Rashi, is the schirah simanim, and also shehaysah metzirah shelo tala b...

You look at the sipurna. The sipurna learns that the Vayizkar Elokim es Rachel was she hishtadlah l'holid, b'hachnisas tzarahah l'beisah. She put so much effort, hishtadlus, mo'il l'zechus shvatim. This is what the Rabbeinu Shalom remembered. And then, Vayishma Elah Elokim, sheispalel, like I told you from the Rishonim, that the tefillah came after the zikaron. There was a zikaron. And then, achar she'asah so, there was a second shlav over here of tefillah. Achar she'asah so, shnei minei hishtadlus. This is the sipurna. Habeisis, a peledike emunah. Mamish peledike yesod in leben, mamish a yesod in the gantze leben, vos me darf wissen. Let's read an unbelievable emunah. Because of what she went through, shteit in pasuk, Vatahar, vateled ben, vatoimer, 'Zeh kara Elokim es charpasi.' The Rabbeinu Shalom, and we'll soon fataytsh what does the word asaf mean. Rashi learns, kipshuto, asaf means he collected it and took it away. He was mesalek it. The Rabbeinu Shalom took away my bizayon, u'meileh, Vatikra es shmo Yosef, leimor, Yosef Hashem li ben acher. What is Yosef? What does it mean, asaf? So Rashi says, like I told you, hachnisah b'makom shelo tir'eh. The Rabbeinu Shalom took it away, asaf. Etos gekliben un avekגעלייגט. He put it away, mesalek. The Even Ezra says a peledike pshat. What does it mean, Asaf Elokim es chalpasi? Zogt the Even Ezra, pshat in Asaf Elokim es chalpasi. Zogt the Even Ezra, he calls him—look, look, geit der Even Ezra, geit vayter, Asaf venesaf. Oh, ot azoi. Zogt der Even Ezra, la'acherim amru ki Hashem ra es hachelpos. The Ribono Shel Olam saw my bizayon, my chelpa, shehayu hanashim mechafis osi, that the other women were embarrassing me. Va'avur hayosi hakarah, u'ke'ilu nesfu v'nischabru etzel Hashem. The Ribono Shel Olam collected them, and He took them to Himself. V'nischabru, they came together by the Ribono Shel Olam, u'me'eileh hoyah li ben, chavat azon. He helped her beis a peledik. She attributed der zechus, vos di tefilos niskabelu gevoren, what was it? Asaf Hashem es chalpasi. The Ribono Shel Olam collected all the bizyonos, all the embarrassment, un tzu lib dem hot der Ribono Shel Olam ge'entfert ir tefilah. Rashi learns Asaf means silkam, He took them away. Fakert, the Even Ezra learned etos farzamelt, He gathered it to Himself. We find the same nusach by Nilah, that the Ribono Shel Olam takes sima demeiseinu b'noit chalios. The Ribono Shel Olam collects the tears, the thren. V'satzileinu mikol gezeiros kashos v'achzariyos. Un di thren alein hobn a koyach. Az mir krign yeshuos, v'satzileinu mikol gezeiros kashos v'achzariyos. Shteit in Even Ezra, dos iz der asaf Elokim es chelpasi. Der Ribono Shel Olam hat fazamlt, He brought together, He collected it. V'nischabru eitzel Hashem, fakert, they came together. Collected it like it was a precious thing. Yaled bizyones, yahrt a beisai. U'medaf farshteyn, di a Yid darf trachten how a Yid has to look at bizyones. We look at bizyones and we say it's a terrible thing. By the Ribono Shel Olam, dos a greise zach, and He collects them, azoy vi er collects tefillos. Azoy vi der Ribono Shel Olam fazamlt thren, un tzu lib dem krigt men yeshuos. Asaf Elokim es chelpasi.

The bein ishloylam had fazamblt di ale chelkes, un memeile noylet li ben. The meforshim ask a question. Normally, the name of the shevatim, as well as the name in general, like we've spoken many times in the past, are the mahus of the mensch. Dan, Naftali, Reuven, hu ma ben beni Lavan chami. How by Yosef, which is asa Elokim eschelpasi, how is that Yosef? What in this reason that she calls him Yosef, likt Yosef? Who's the Yosef in there? Yeder shevet, Dan, Naftali, is meyuchav to the mahus of the mensch. The mefarshim, this is what the Rabbeinu Shloylam did to Rachel, asa Elokim eschelpasi. How is that Yosef? The mensch Yosef. Aboysai, lomachzogin hapshat is b'ezras Hashem yisbarach, emes la'amito. I had a kasha bothered me always. By Birchas Kohanim, we say, at the end, before the kohen says shalom, we say that the Rabbeinu Shloylam should give us, l'chein, l'chavod, be'einei kol re'einu, k'moi, asei v'Yosef b'shaar shel bishoi, oviv v'ksones hapasim. We say, yeah, the loshon of Birchas Kohanim. The first two are pisach chaleimus, and the third one is a bracha. B'ikar adaf parnassah. We spoke in the past, why is it about parnassah? But the other one, the other part of the tefillah, is about chein, chesed, tiferes. Azei vi yeisiv b'sha'ar bnei adam, k'seinas hapasim. Tell me, rabbeisai, is takke geven greise kavod, k'sones pasim? That's not what it says in the Torah. Mit angelegt af em di k'sones pasim, mit ongefangen sinah, mit kinah. Shreklach what happened to Yosef. A shrek what happened to Yosef because of the k'sones pasim. Betmin. Azel zayn l'chein, l'chesed. Azoi, the minutvos yainkev hot amol gelegt di k'sones pasim. K'sones pasim was a greise kavod. Nit vokt gezogt, meichalef the kavod, but what's the greise kavod in them? And you know, rabbeisai, to make the kashya even stronger, you know what the word pasim even means? What does pasim mean? Rashi zogt, a klal: pasim is a nutrikon. Potifera, the peh, sochrim, Yishmaelim, Midyanim. Shetelt zich far, you give someone a kavod, you help, k'sones pasim. You're going to be in Potifera, you're gezayn by sochrim and Midyanim and Yishmaelim, and the truth is even all the same thing. Vos is sochrim, Midyanim, Yishmaelim, chaverches, it's all the same. And how long was he in the hands of each one? Vos is der sochrim, Midyanim... Vos, vos vil men? On the dors is the k'seinis pasim shein de Bishal shel Bishei aviv, de tatten dem gegebn k'seinis pasim. Vos is k'seinis pasim? What is it? K'seinis pasim. ... Today, vos men gezogt a T-shirt, have the lelav, have daleds. When ... we get this present, we come from the ... you come and you say, I have for you a present. ... that you're going to go through in the ... ah, nemt es. ... It's ... the ... the ... ... on the ... ... See, all the zaken vos ... ... He was an eved. Dos altz inyonim ... ... He was an eved, bizilzul. We even say in ... Malchus that he was sold ... ... ... The time, it was k'seinis pasim mit haremez of the ... We also had the k'seinis pasim remez that he'll be a melech b'Mitzrayim. It was the same k'seinis pasim.

They brought him to Mitzrayim. The Gemara zagt us because of milas, an extra drop of silk, is a gegangen in Mitzrayim. Nisgalgal hadavar, as es gevoren in Mitzrayim, and klal Yisroel gekumen noch dem, to book into them. That's l'chein l'chov b'shaa shel bishoi. Ven der tateh dem avegelegt, der ksones pasim, you know what he was telling him? Kin maine, es darf gein shvere bizyones, aber what's going to be the result of these bizyones? What's going to be the end of these bizyones? And the answer is, v'zeh ha-melech. This is the point of the shiur. In life we go through difficult things, and with emunah you realize that one day we'll understand that, Choshech was sibas ha'or. That choshech was the sibah of the or. That's the pshat. B'shem shenasato, az eividus gelegt. We're asking the Ribono Shel Olam all the things that we go through in life, bizyones, shreklacher amol, the most difficult of situations. It should be, shenasato, You give it to us. Az eivi b'shaa shel bishoi, aviv ksones pasim. What was the end of the ksones pasim? The bizyones, geven der haschalah from the covenant, the Sifares, in the parsha. And this is l'chaira pshat in Yosef. Asaf Elokim es cherpasi. I ask you a kasha, the nomen fun Yosef. How is it, Asaf Elokim es cherpasi, and the teretz is, Haguf a takke. The Rabbeinu Shlelem hat gezen, yalle bizyones vos Yosef iz atoch. Yosef li ben acher, un hot gelebt in der zchus. I want to show you something interesting. Shteit in the pasuk, Vatikane Rachel bachosah. Rachel had kinah. It shteit in pasuk, and she turns to Yaakov and she says, Havah li banim, v'im ayin, meisah anochi. Vayichar af Yaakov bRachel, vayomer, hatachas Elokim anochi, asher mana mimeni pri vaten. Vos iz der taich vatikane? Rachel is mekane? Rachel doch geven der semel fun nish kinah, farkert, alts avekgegeben tsum shvester. The farshim say, Hayitachen le'isha tzadekes, Rachel, hamatkachti es ishti? Who took whose husband? What's pshat? She's screaming at Rachel, hamatkachti es ishti. Shteit shein in meforshim, ba'mussar redn, she made Leah feel so good, k'ilu she was the keres habayis un farkert. Rachel was taking away the husband of Leah. That was the tzidkus, the tzidkus of Rachel. So vos steht the pasuk, vatikanei Rachel ba'achosah. And it's mashma that because, vatoimer, because of this, she goes to Yaakov and she says, Tov li banim. The Ramban is masbir shehad no right to talk like this; it's called kegulei nashim, etc. And Yaakov schreit at her. Yaakov screams at her, Hatachas Elokim anochi, asher מנע ממך פרי בטן. He wanted her to daven. Shakel v'tarya: the Ramban, what happened here? What was the shakel? Rachel schreit, and Yaakov answered her. Unfarkert, he even got an onesh, v'kachah eina מסעמוקות. What happened here? So I'll tell you pshat, rabosai. Be'ezras Hashem, from derech defos Meret. The Ramban uses a lashon that he screamed at her, sheratzah lachlimah; he wanted to embarrass her. So it states the Ramban, it's a nusach of the Ramban. Yaakov wanted to embarrass her. He wanted to embarrass her? It's a nusach, ratzah lachlimah. Amol, you scream, it's for mussar, no? Yeda lach, learn mit mir a Ramban. Loshon Ramban, sheratzah lachlimah; he wanted to embarrass her. Embarrass her? Kan zogen an English shmues mussar. From the vayis anyenim in the mussar, vos meint es bichlal?

Why did the Eibishter answer Leah? Vayar Hashem ki snuah Leah. Mefarshim say, snuah Leah, chas v'shalom, because Yankev would hate Leah. No, the pshat is she felt embarrassed that she was the second wife. She was wife number two. Un dos heist, Vayar Hashem ki snuah Leah, the Rabbeinu Shlem zogt in bizyones. Vayar Hashem ki snuah Leah. וממילא דער זכות, וַיִפְתַּח אֶת רַחְמָה, דער צער, דער הערגש פון די נימוס, that she's the second wife, וַיִפְתַּח ה' אֶת רַחְמָה. רחל זעט דאס, וַתִּקַּח רָחֵל בַּחֲצֵרָה. וַתִּקַּח רָחֵל בַּחֲצֵרָה of that zechus. So she goes to Yankev Avinu, and she tells him, ... הבה לי בנים, ואם אין מתה אנכי, and he responds, לכי... אָסַף אֱלֹקִים אֶת חֶרְפָּתִי, אָסַף אֱלֹקִים אֶת חֶרְפָּתִי. Eich da cheilek da helfen. Habeisai, there's two reasons for Yosef's name. The first reason is, אָסַף אֱלֹקִים אֶת חֶרְפָּתִי. Der tzveyte taam is, ... וַתֹּאמֶר, יֹסֵף ה' לִי בֵּן אַחֵר. What's the kesher between the two taamim? Is it אָסַף אֱלֹקִים אֶת חֶרְפָּתִי, or is it יֹסֵף ה' לִי בֵּן אַחֵר? Meforshim fregen dos a kasha. So meforshim say two things. Der Rasha states, ... What, she's gonna start telling people why she called him Yosef? Tachalena busha. When she starts telling people that she didn't have children. Semeila, she brought a second taam, the seifa taam given, Yosef Hashem li ben acher. That's what she would tell people. Sogt a chiba maaseh, with the shochet, famous maaseh, the shochet. The shochet didn't shecht properly. So what happened? So he went around getting a ksav rabbanus, lefakeach that ... richtig. And he walked around showing everybody. ... du navaste bist. ... vayzn alemen az epes iz geven, and you're showing him ... a nar mit a shtar. We heard this Reb Eliyahu Shvei once, a nar mit a shtar — it's an expression in Yiddish, a ... mit a shtar. So what would be the pshat that she comes and she says, ... especially according to Rashi. Rashi learns that what was the Vatikanen, the zechus that Leah had. So he learned Rashi, ... tzadekes fun mir. Semeila, she came and she gave a taam that Yosef li Hashem ben acher. ... ben acher kin. I saw from a ... tzaddik of Bracha, the Dayan, Rav Yankiv. This is another pshat, very interesting pshat. Hosav Elokim es chapasi. Oba noch al a maise, she's missing one child. She's not—she only had one, and all of them, the shvachos had two. Hatzi mistapel geven mit dem, Hosav Elokim es chapasi, so zan Yosef Hashem li ben acher. I'll say in tam. I want to tell you an interesting thing I saw brought down. Reb Uren miParmishlan, dachtzah chitz, Reb Meir Parmishlan's a kind. He went to his lotshever maggid, and he said he has a child that's sick. Der Rebbe zol davenen far em. Der Rebbe zol davenen far em. The lotshever maggid em gezogt, he'll have a refuah, ober darf mekabel zayn a yissurim. Something—a yissurim is, you have to accept on yourself a yissurim. See from over here, there's a special segulah. Yosef Hashem li ben acher, means mekabel a yissurim. If you look at the meforshim, the sefarim, they speak about the tremendous zechus, vos es mein dukei beyissurim b'ahavah.

מקבל זיין בהאהבה, the Shlah, many places writes that it's a bigger kaparah. It's a kaparah me'ulah, more than malkus, more than sigufei ta'aniyos, than mekabel on yourself the bizyonos. Yeah, traveisai. We run from bizyonos. To farshtein vos is a mols, a greise zach. In Tomer Devorah, shteit a peledike zach. Tomer Devorah writes that the best thing to be mekabel is bizyonos. Why? Loshon of the Tomer Devorah, a pele: שיחשוב עוונותיו תמיד וירצה בטהרת תוכחות ויסורים, הממאס על מקבל זיון זיך. That he wants to be mechaper. He wants kaparas avonos. So what is the best yisurim hayoser tovim sheb'olam, שלא יתדונני מעבודת השם? What is the greatest, what is the greatest thing that won't be matir him? He'll still be able to learn and to daven. The best is bizyonos. For us, it's not going to affect the body. It's not affecting you whatsoever. A mensch hot bizyonos? No, it's yisurim from the outside, says the Tomer Devorah. Azoy de told me that the Chofetz Chaim used to say over, and I looked, I couldn't find anywhere where this is brought. ולא מצאתי מגוף טוב משתיקה. The best thing for the guf is to be quiet. Why is it the best thing for the guf? וואס איז דער נוסח למצאתי, לגוף טוב משתיקה. Somebody told me that the Chofetz Chaim האט אמאל ליבע געזאגט, לא מצאתי לגוף טוב, וועלכע שתיקה. As mensen zenen mevayesh, and you keep quiet, that's the best thing for the guf. ... כפרת עוונות. Normal kaparas avonos is yesurim for the guf. A person could get tremendous yisurim; this doesn't affect his guf. לא מצאתי לגוף טוב משתיקה. The best is zach a shvaygen, when the person is mevazeh and don't respond. This is the greatest form of kaparas avonos. In Chassidishe sefarim I saw something very interesting. Reb Nachum miBreslov had gezogt, volt men farshteinen how important and how great the avodah of kabbalas bizyonos is, me volt gegangen in a mikveh farm krikt bizyonos, just like the zogen. A mensh volt gezogt, ... לשם יחוד ... ... of di heilige bizyonos. I want to tell you something interesting about this. You know, when we say the vidui on Yom Kippur, we start off, הרי אני לפניך ככלי מלא בושה וכלימה, ... ... משחיתותי, ... מחי פרעך ... רב. שטעלט זיך אפ די קשיא: What do you mean, mechayev? שטייט doch in the Gemara, כל האומר הקדוש ברוך הוא ותרן, יוותרו חייו. Wie kann מען בעטן? How could you ask, mechayek ברחמיך הרבים? How are you moichek? How are you erasing those aveiros? Nu, you know, a gute ... וואס מ'בעט דעם רבונו של עולם, וישבק. So pashut is, make teshuvah, l'chaira. That's what he's trying to say. Tu dich teshuvah, זאָג די וידוי. אפשר קען מען זאגן די הקדמה: הרי אני לפניך ככלי מלא בושה. מען שטייט מבויש פאר דעם רבונו של עולם. ממילא, מדה כנגד מדה, הכפרת עוונות, מדה כנגד מדה הכפרת עוונות. די זעלבע פלאגטיבע זאַכן, אַז דער חפץ חיים used to say to himself at the end of his life, Vos vet shein zayn mit Yisrael Meir? I krigt shein ... ביזיונות. At the end of his life, he was famous with the bizyonos. Vos vet shein zayn mit Yisrael...

Meya. Az a krigt doch nisht mehr shein kein a bizyones. Says, like the zeide heard it from him. The zeide used to copy exactly the nusach, the niggun, the way the Chofetz Chaim said. Vos vet shein zayn mit Yisrael Meya? Here today, if you tell a guy, gei shteis, zayn a bizyones, mach de toysnte cheshbones, I can't go. It would be embarrassing if I go and I make the toysnte cheshbones. Have you ever seen anybody come and make a cheshbon? Ata rabbi, gei. Vos zayn a bizayon. Boruch Hashem, boruch Hashem. Un a chassidishe, gei un make farfalt, gevaldik, yeah. I tell the fellow, in fact, a mensch, from where? He coming from mikveh. What? What? What did you go to mikveh? What happened? Gei bald kitn gute bizyones, gut. You will do so macha bisl freilach, och gei a shtub, un bald de vayb vet begin the—I'm sorry, it's in Yiddish—the wife is going to be... I'm going to get a shtikel bizyones. Yes, we do daven that. Okay, v'loy lidei bizayon. That is true. So I'll tell you what I heard from— and you asked me a good question. You asked me a very good question. So let's discuss. Years ago, my father told me that he went to the Steipler, and he asked the Steipler a question. What was the question? The question was, he wanted to know if he should stay in Eretz Yisrael, if he should come to America. Back and forth, back and forth. The question revolved around that to live in Eretz Yisrael, it's difficult, and it's going to be a life of yisurim. And in Chutz Laaretz, it seems like it's going to be an easier life. Truth is, one learns in life that that's all not a cheshbones because... But what the steipler answered him was, Yisurim, first of all, that's... When a mensch has yisurim, see, a meiridige zach, a meiridige zach, a mensch has yisurim. Vekert, it's called nikdas b'yisurim, Torah is nikdas b'yisurim, and he started going through the mailes, so to speak, of yisurim, the mailes fun yisurim. So my father asked him, Ar b'shteit doch in the Gemara, loi hein v'loi scharan, which is really your question. That a mensch, azoi vi tanoim hobn gezogt, loi hein v'loi scharan. So then what's the pshat that on one hand you're telling me yisurim, you have to go through it, it's something you should... you see that you're supposed to daven not to have it, which is really your question. And the answer, rabosai, is it depends what's called b'zayon. You see, a b'zayon could be when something is... A real chisaron, a bizayon can mean something which is affecting avodas Hashem. For example, we find clearly that when it comes to certain things, you're supposed to fight, ולא להתבייש מפני בני אדם המלעיגים עליו. You shouldn't be embarrassed. What's the pshat, you shouldn't be embarrassed? Because that's not busha. That's not called busha. There's two types of bizayon in life, rabosai. There's bizayon, just like by kavod. There's kavod hamedumeh. There's kavod hamedumeh, which means it's not real kavod. And then there's echte kavod. There's things which are really kavod. Teiras kavod. Yiras Shamayim is kavod. Das is kavod. This is what you call kavod. V'lo lidei bizayon, which means it shouldn't come to a bizayon which is really a bizayon. שלא יבוש ולא ייכלם לעולם ועד. That's a bizayon. When we think, v'lo lidei bizayon, do means bizayon means you didn't get the right aliyah. Rabosai, that's not bizayon. That's bizayon, but the guy thinks it's a bizayon. So this can be bizayon, I felt. But then there's certain things which is...

There's things which taka a person in his life has to learn. Dos, dos is a bizayon. A bentayir firt zich nisht azoi. It's a matziv where you're found with bnei adam hamaligin olov avodas Hashem. That's bizayon. That's, that's a... to answer and to be opposed, those are hamaligin olov avodas Hashem. That's not a bizayon. Taka, the bizayon is to get caught up in the zachim. Dos is kegen the Torah. Dos is, v'loy lidei bizayon, asoi v'chaverah shachen ra, v'loy lidei bizayon, vos is taka bizayon. It's taka bizayon. So I want to end, because the truth is then I'll have taanis, and then I'll have to get bizyones. Vas ich hob nisht geendigt in tzait, un ich vil das mitdafen mekabel zayn b'ahavah, mekabel zayn b'ahavah the bizyones. So let me end with one zach. I'll tell you a maiseh from Reb Shlomo Kluger zvila. I heard that he was of tremendous mekabel inyonim of bizyones. That was a big avodah by him, a special avodah by him. So Reb Shlomo Kluger zogt a maiseh. When people would ask him she'eilos, he went to the mikveh, and in the mikveh he would come out and say, The answer to your question is this, this and this. That's how was his mahalach, gelebt in the himmel. Somebody walked over to him on Erev Shabbos and said to him, Vos darfst op mentshn? What, you think you get the teshuvah in the mikveh? Vos, vos, vos? You're fooling people. What's wrong with you? He didn't say anything. He came home, he was thinking, he was thinking. He called his gabbai. He said, You know, Ploni u'Ploni, who just screamed at me, took out a few hundred shekalim, or whatever it was, money at the time, and he sent it to the guy. He sent it to the guy. So the chassid, the gabbai, what happened? What's the story here? He says, Reishis kol, az a Yid hot nisht vos tun Erev Shabbos. That's the only thing he had, to come to the mikveh, to scream at me, vos ich veis, ich shrayb teshuvos, stam al a bitterte mensh. He's a bitter person. He's a bitter person. He must not have money for Shabbos, because if he had money for Shabbos, he wouldn't care about this. Shikachem. I'm sending him money for Shabbos that he should have. Then he said, And I want you to know, of bizyones, a greise zach bizyones, afilu tzolen of them. It's gedai to pay money for it, dach tzolen of bizyones. Got to pay for it. It's something, it's a special privilege. It's a treasure. And that's this sipur of Reb Eizel. Even as that we learned, the Ribono Shel Olam collects the bizyones. He collects. Tzazei vi tefillos and zechusim. When the dem krigt min yeshues in the Chamish, az iz mekabel it b'ahavah. You've just experienced another Torah class, brought to you by TorahAnytime.com.
