0:00 All right. Say good morning. Good morning. Let us let us begin begin by thanking all of our sponsors for this morning shar to thank our sponsors for the month of Tamos Abva Yona and Abi Ram for dedicating all the shel this month for Elzar Ben Alisha Daniel for dedicating all the shel this 0:33 month for the third sight of Schlommo of Philadelphia. He was a child survivor of aitz who learned every morning at 5 a.m. inimosis whereas our sponsors for today and Sarah Steinberg in the continued health is and for an ultimate and formuli I sin as 0:58 a formuli's father who is recovering from surgery. This parake is especially meaningful. It is a parake knows best after more than 50 years as a may the learning be for a complete of course we dedicate the learning of our brothers and sisters in our continue to look after them and to guard them and may our holy soldiers be successful. 1:26 With that let us begin. We have a lot to do today. Today's daff is 957. We are picking up at 56B at the Mishna. At the Mishna remember again we in yesterday's D we spoke about the different traits by sorry 1:48 we spoke about the different traits by birds and now we're going to speak about the injuries that an animal could sustain and still be kosher. Sherus Po following injuries again still allow a bird to be cauter. What are they? 2:04 Nikbaaras if the trachea was perforated. Osha sodka or it was split and also remember again as we saw in Rash yesterday's Mishna really most of the time the traus of birds really parallel the traus of animals. So that's why again you'll see a lot of mishic symmetry over here. So again, same idea. 2:23 If the if if you just have a perforation, you just have a if you just have perforation in the trachea, that does not make it a tra. Even if the trachea is split, does not make it a tra. What happens if the weasel bites the fowl bites the bird on a place of the head where it doesn't make it a tra? In other words, it's the type of bite where we would have no kash about the teeth 2:50 permeating the the membranes of the brain or for that matter nikabek or again the crop was perforated. So remember again the crop this goes back if you if you reference I actually also put two more pictures on the chat yesterday. Um but if you take a look you could see the zep is one of the stomachs. 3:11 You can see again the zeph is the zeic actually is one of the stomachs from the from the from the brother the crop. So if the if the crop was perforated says even if the crop itself was actually removed not only perforated but even if it was removed the animal would still be what happens if the intestines of the chicken I'm just the the bird the 3:36 intestines of the bird spilled out some type of traumatic injury the intestines spilled out but they were not perforated then what's the most say that that ultimately again would not render the animal a tray right so obviously intestinal Perforation does make the bird a traa but we'll call it I don't know intestinal spillage right it just goes ahead and just right there's an injury falls out of the body ultimately 3:59 again as long as it's not perforated the animal is not a traa if it's if its wings were broken not a traa its feet were broken not a traaim say is very interesting means literally its feathers were taken off. It was defa 4:27 types of feathers. There is the longer exterior feathers and then there is the shorter smaller what we'll call interior feathers. So now is talking about over here means if the longer exterior feathers were removed it does not make the animal a trai. Now interestingly enough says If the not what's the interestingly 4:51 enough the not is what we call the down feathers. The down feathers are the smaller feathers that are closer to the body of the animal. Rabi Huda says if those feathers are missing the animal is a chaf say just parathetically right down a down coat right a down coat is made from those down feathers. What's the with those feathers? The unique nature of those feathers is they trap 5:14 air. So because they trap hair that's why they're used ultimately again to create heat in clothing as well. Just okay interesting aside. So let's analyze this. Now this this list in the Mishna all of these different injuries if an animal animal has if a bird has one of them ultimately again they do not render the bird a trafa says 5:40 it's actually very interesting story so say so one time it happens that went to go ahead and declare a leap year in the city of lud Okay. So the Gar says what happened on their way or on their on their way there or on their way back they went ahead and they stopped they spent Shabis in the city of Ono. Okay. 6:07 So the says so what happened? So obviously these two great come are there in the city of Ono for Shabis as one could imagine the residents everybody took advantage of having these great in their midst. So what happened? and they brought them shidless. One of the issues that came up was what happened with an animal that's missing its uterus. Okay. So, so the the wording 6:32 over here is a little bit strange here. Here's the way it reads. So, the says they went ahead and they went ahead and they pasined by uterus like Rebi does by the Zech by the crop. Now again remember what did Rebi say in the Mishna? In the Mishna in the Mish the Tanakama said that if the crop was if the crop was perforated the animal is Kasher. Rebi 6:59 said even if the crop was removed ultimately again the bird is kasher. The bird is kasher. So now the gimar says the says pasined by the uterus like rebi does by the crop. Says what is what does that mean? 7:20 Does that mean that the removal of the uterus is makes animal like just as absolutely as that the removal of the crop doesn't render the animal right however or maybe what they say like this maybe they ask that the removal of the uterus does not make the animal a tra in the same way that rebi 7:48 paskins that the removal of the crop does not make the animal a tra however but they themselves didn't hold like rebi by the crop they hel like the tanakama right they held that that that cropal perforation right ultimately again will not go to make the animal a traa but removal will but they were comparing it the same way that rebi hold that the removal of the zap doesn't make the animal a traa we hold that the 8:14 removal of the uterus doesn't make the animal a traa but we ourselves don't actually subscribe to Reb's position to which the says so I'll just I'll just point out over here is like the not like Rebi that if there's perforation of the crop the animal is not a tra but if the crop is missing the animal is a tra remember by 8:37 uterus we already saw this la we already saw this yesterday that the absence of the uterus does not make the animal a tra okay let's go back to So this is very interesting. So remember again in the and you can see this you can see this in the in the picture of the of the chicken from yesterday's d. So you can see over here that the way this works is 9:02 the the trachea sorry the esophagus the veset leads right into the crop right leads right into the zak that that so in other words swallows goes into the esophagus esophagus into zak. says listen to this shel literally again. So literally what this means is the roof of the ze which means the top the top of the crop ultimately again 9:29 is treated like the esophagus which which makes sense and remember so essentially what it's highlighting is is this tension since the esophagus leads directly into the crop into the zephac. So there's like that there's like that point of is this the crop or is it or or is it the ves right? Is it the esophagus or is it the crop? Which which one is it? Now again say what does it matter? It 9:51 matters a lot. Why? The esophagus esophagus any amount of esophageal perforation renders the animal a traa. But yet again any amount of zec perforation doesn't render the animal a trava. So knowing knowing exactly where the zeph ends or where the veset ends and the and the and the where 10:14 the ends and the zc begins esophagus ends cropping is an incredibly important detail. So the therefore says literally again the roof of the ze so that the top of the crop has the status of the esophagus. 10:33 Where is that? So again the answers is it is the top of the crop which essentially begins to slant. So again the moment that the crop begins to narrow and to slant that area is considered to be the vashhat that area is considered to be the esophagus and therefore would be governed with the stringencies of the esophagus. 10:55 Incredible. Let's go back there. Says says the next part of the Mishna was that if the intestines spill out of the bird that doesn't make the bird a as long as what? As long as there's no perforation. Okay. So now the says something very interesting. 11:19 Again I will say the assumption is that what happens if you have a bird and the intestines spill out. What happens? What happens? The assumption is you're going to put it back in. Right? That's makes sense, right? So here's what's interesting. So then says, when do we say that if the intestines spill out, it does not cause the animal to be a tra? That's only that if you ended up putting it back in, you 11:42 did not twist the intestines. But if you end up twisting the intestines, ultimately again, that automatically renders the animal a tra. So it says that's the Lion over here. means you switched around the order. But if you ended up switching around or you ended up twisting them, twisting them when you put them back in the animal. So the Gimar says, it's actually 12:09 very interesting. This is actually beautiful. quotes the literally again who made you is talking to us made us say so what does that mean now we normally establish and he established us 12:34 but look how created what is sayso shape means levels. Levels made us in levels the imagery here. So listen to this. Sorry. 13:07 If one of the levels is switched up, the says he can't live. So the imagery over here say is dapka by the intestines, right? Because the intestines when they sit inside are obviously coiled. So the says created us with such that the intestines are coiled in a certain way. And what happens if the intestines get twisted 13:31 up? Again, it could have fatal consequences. So that's it's interesting by the side. So I just want to point out ju just to appreciate the flow over here, right? So the Mishna says that if the intestines fall out of the bird, the bird ultimately again is not a tra if they're perforated is a tra. The says but when do we say that if the intestines fall out the board is not a traa? That's only if you put them when you put them back in you put them back 13:55 in the normal order. But if you twisted them ultimately again it is a trafal. Why? Because intestinal twistage right ultimately again is fatal. How do we know that? So say this is incredible because the says the says right what does the say again who created us ultimately and he established us 14:18 he made us in levels. the levels have to be there and if the levels are messed up then what happens fatal consequences interestingly enough so of course the over here is referencing is referencing the intestines but there's a tremendous muskll in this in general which is that created us the intestines are a tremendous metaphor the intestines work 14:42 as long as they're coiled in the right way right as long as they're on each thing is in the right level which is an incredible metaphor for man in general Life has, we speak about this all the time. Life has to follow a seder. If there's not a seder, it is very hard to move yourself forward. If a person is all over the place at all times, it is very difficult to lead an accomplished 15:06 life. You could do episodic good things here and there, but if I really want to move myself from point A to point B, I really want to lead an accomplished life, it has to be it has to be made me almost like and then I have to establish for myself. See the is referring to what Hashem did for us but it could also be referring to what Hashem does for us who hashem made me. 15:30 How gave me life which is the greatest gift. How do I maximize that gift? Make layers. Make layers. Make levels. Make a make a plan. And then after you have a real life plan that may be subject to change a million different times, but at least there's a plan, then you could move forward with it. But without the plan, without the layers, without the levels, without knowing how 15:54 to get from point A to point B, it is really difficult to lead a meaningful and purposeful existence. Incredible. Incredible, says the mam. Good. Let's go back to says another incredible piece. Romero says, always made us and he established us. The says listen to this made us made like a city that has 16:24 everything that has everything. So the says what does that mean? Because within us we have we have prophets we have we have important people we have kings. 16:43 So interesting enough what suggesting over here and this is actually quite beautiful from the same hashem made us and he established us. What does that mean? That he made Israel that we are a self-sufficient nation. Any anything, excuse me, and everything we need, we have. You need kohanim, we got it. You need levim, we got it. You need kings, we got it. You need prophets, we got it. Anything and 17:06 everything we need, we have. Say this is a this is a tremendous this is a tremendous leave it on two levels. First of all, on a level say sometimes we look around the world and we feel so alone. We feel so profoundly isolated and again it's it's a hard feeling to go with because even sometimes even sometimes the people who we think are our real 17:30 allies and the people we think really have our back sometimes do things that defy comprehension right and again it's not the one I'm has doesn't have to reach far into history right we look at at the negotiations happening with Iran now and it leaves any normal thinking person scratching their head What's the plan? Literally capitulating to 17:53 terrorists. Capitulate. Your enemies your enemies are saying that the agreement the agreement represents your defeat. And again, you have you just have to wonder like what what what is it not not to be say you always have to be careful. We can never lack gratitude for what for what the leadership of this country does for us here as Jews in this country and has done for Israel. Always 18:16 have to be careful. But it leads us to wonder. just leads us to wonder a little bit what what is this? What exactly is it? And then we look around the world say and again just you look at you look at the primary results in New York and the people the people who won those primaries there and you wonder to yourself you know New York has a lot of problems a lot of problems the Israeli 18:39 Palestinian conflict is not one of them is not one of them there's a lot of like see and you wonder how does that become how does literally rapid anti-semitism become the dominant issue of the day And you look at this and the truth is you could feel a little bit isolated. You could feel a lot isolated. And then what happens? See almost like a good parent. 19:02 A good parent always knows how their child is feeling even if the child didn't say knows that sometimes we look around the world and it feels really lonely. But then I guess gives us what does he say to us? My beautiful children don't be alone. You're not alone. Everything you need, you have everything you need as a people. 19:28 Whatever you need to be successful, the nations of the world are given the privilege to help the Jewish people, but the Jewish people at the end of the day do not exist because of their help. Everything we need gave us to survive as a nation. And that should give us the and what's true on a national level is also true on a personal level. You know, we go through life and sometimes we face 19:51 challenges and when we face those challenges, we feel like sometimes we don't have the tools to meet those challenges. That is unequivocally, absolutely, and totally false. Anything and everything you need to meet your life challenges, you got it inside. Now, you have the toolbox. You may not know where the tools are located, right? You may not know exactly how to access those tools. You may not even know how to utilize those tools, but they are 20:15 absolutely unequivocally there. Anything and everything we need to be successful in life already put inside of us. Incredible was an interesting story. There was a particular Roman. So we'll say so what happened? So there was a a Roman. He saw a guy I don't know whe the guy was Jewish, not Jewish, I don't know. But he saw a guy fall off a roof. As a result of falling off the roof, his stomach split open and his 20:44 intestines spilled out. Okay. This Roman good good Samaritan wanted to help. What did he do? He brought the son of the guy who fell off the roof. The shak and he slaughtered him in front of the guy who fell off the roof. Bad day. Now again, just hold on. The story is not right. 21:02 Now say this is why you always have to turn the page because the story always continues. Now say he didn't really slaughter the son of the guy who fell off the roof. It was an illusion. It was an illusion. So the says what happened now? The guy who fell off the roof didn't know it was an illusion. He thought that his son was just killed right in front of his eyes. 21:22 What did he do? In means he felt faint. The he let out a big a big groan. He sucked his intestines back in. And then the Romans stitched up his stomach. So apparently again the Roman understood that he needed the guy somehow the groaning the feeling faint and the groaning was somehow the homemade remedy for sucking back in your 21:47 intestines. I just did a quick Google search about sucking back in your intestines and and it was highly advised against right that if some has if one has if one has some type of intestinal issue that they should seek out medical treatment as quickly as possible and not try to do anything themselves. Anyway, they will say okay obviously the tells the story. 22:07 So whatever whatever the situation was it worked in this case it worked in this case and ultimately again the guy was saved. Incredible. Next we'll say by the way there there is also what's what what what exactly is like what exactly is the message of that story? And we'll say the message of the story is no matter how bad your day is going it is always possible to turn 22:32 things around. Right. Sometimes things look absolutely bleak and terrible. Like again this guy his intestines are out. He thought that his kid was just killed. Like this is this is as bad as it gets. And sometimes even as bad as and bleak as it gets. Person always has to hold out hope always has to have an optimistic vision for the future. 22:54 Incredible. Say second line 57. If the bird broke its legs say there was a basket of birds that had broken legs that brought before. Okay. So the soba so checked specifically that was the image I put on the chat yesterday on today for today's D that 23:22 first image that that you have on the chat today the is that if you look I hope it came out clearly on the picture this from the article it is that juncture where you have 16 actually you can even see it because I put the footnote on here also footnote number For there are 16 senus that converge at the lower end of the tibia of the foul. This convergence is 23:45 called the sagen the junction of the senus. If even one of the senus in this area is severed in the greater part the bird is ready is is rendered a traa. So this is very important. So as much as we said that if the legs of the bird are broken the bird is not a traa but if there is a rupture if there is a severing by this what we call this ultimately again the bird is a tra. So the rabbi gets rabbi gets this basket of 24:10 birds with broken legs and he checks by thee nothing was cut there. So he ruled the bird. If ultimately again the forleg the fourleg of the animal was missing or was broken ultimately the animal is kashermas is very interesting means what happens if if the thigh is dislodged. We actually spoke about this 24:37 case two days ago, right? If the bone right the the hipbone the right the the hip is dislodged by similarly again if the wing is dislodged ultimately the animals are tra as well. Why this is very interesting because the gimmar seem to indicate before in the Mishna that if the wings are broken if the wings are broken ultimately it's not a here the is making a distinction 25:02 between broken wing versus dislodged wing if the wing is dislodged the wants to suggest the animal might might be a tra why because apparently again with dislodging we are concerned about uh perforation in the lung says okay says says, "No, no, no. Don't automatically say that if the wing is dislodged, the animal is a check it check it." Rashi 25:27 says, "So essentially again, so says the way you check the lungs is after you check the bird, take out the lungs, blow it up again. If air escapes, that means it's perforated. If air doesn't escape, it's not perforated." Also says, "Check the lungs." Says, "No, you can't check it." Why? 25:51 A bird doesn't have lungs. Okay, we'll we'll examine that statement in just a moment. Says yes, a bird has lungs. And ultimately, again, it is like a rose petal. Ultimately, again, between the shoulders between or yeah, between the shoulders, what does it mean when you say the bird doesn't have lungs? How can you say that? 26:17 If you say that it means that a bird doesn't have lungs at all. That's not true. A bird does have lungs. This is very interesting. A bird never becomes tra through lungal perforation. Why not? 26:38 Ley said whatever is a tra bya is also tra by an o and by behema lungal perforation is a traa. So why wouldn't that apply ultimately again by an oath as well to which the says and yet not only that lay an oath again say in fact bird has one additional traa which is remember again we saw this in yesterday's d that if the 27:01 if the skull right if there's a skull fracture that automatically that automatically results in a traa by a bird granted in yesterday's d we spoke about the idea what kind of bird does that apply to that's really water foul water fell that applies to because the membrane is much more sensitive but okay. So what does it mean? What does it mean when we say that a bird doesn't become a tra on its lungs? It's not true. Listen to this 27:28 rather says what does it mean? Look rather what it means is like this. If you have a bird that fell off a roof, right? You don't have to check its lungs for any type of perforation. And for that matter again, if you have a bird that was that was burnt, you don't have to worry about any um any burning any burn any burns on the lungs. Why not? So essentially saying is the lungs of 27:58 course are there but the lungs of a bird are protected from injury. But why is very interesting just the the the physiology of a bird is that the majority of its lungs are protected by its rib cage. So because of that generally by apparently by birds it's very uncommon for them to have any type of lungal injury. So therefore again even if it falls off the roof even if it 28:25 goes into the fire. So that's what it means when you one of the opinions that said that a bird doesn't have lungs. Of course, a bird has lungs. It means that a bird doesn't really have the same type of lung trait that other animals have because its lungs are more protected. Incredible suffered the less. But one second say from the fact responded to says yes it does have lungs 28:52 and he even described what the lungs look like actually holds that a bird doesn't have lungs. So this is very interesting. They actually said about from the from what he said that a bird doesn't have lungs that indicates to us what that he's not an expert in chickens. Okay been called worse. You know, I'm just saying you know he right 29:22 they said so apparently say it was interesting the seems to indicate that literally was saying this as a matter of fact which would have been a very strange thing to say but apparently the seems to say that no he actually felt that the birds don't have lungs okay which indicates that what his expertise was not in chickens okay fine said the name of Rav that if you have say a dislodged or a dislocated thybo 29:49 bone in a bird ultimately again that doesn't make it a it's saying the name of that a dislocated thigh bone does not make the animal a tra. So they said back to him but what about the fact that said that it is a raun say is actually very beautiful literally says essentially each river flows according to its way which is 30:25 another way of saying different opinions different opinions look no two rivers flow the same way one is a strong of a strong current, one is a softer current. Again, they pass in different ways in different places. Say there's such godlas in this statement. It's like this should be like the mantra of different people do different things. In 30:55 other words, it's so fascinating because the the people the other wanted to reconcile his opinion with Rafa says I can't. We just hold different things. We just we we we pass in different ways and that's okay. Just like rivers flow differently flow differently as well. 31:18 So listen to this found and he was checking birds right because remember how do we ask him before we said before that if the legs are broken the animal is not a however however if there's some type of there's some type of of cut or severing by the right so once again that is the place where the 16 primary senus right go ahead and 31:42 converge right underneath the tibula as you saw before and if even one of them is cut the animal is a Why are you checking? Then if the thigh bone was dislodged, the animal is kosher. If the thigh bone is dislodged, then obviously what is dislodged as well. And if the dislodged thigh bone doesn't make the animal a tra so a rupture or or or or a 32:14 severing by should not play should not make a problem either here's all I know is the what does the say if you have an animal again that has some part of the leg severed above the joint sorry below the primary joint the animal is going to be kasher above the joint ultimately again it's going to be possible. Furthermore, 32:43 and the same thing again, if any part of the is removed or is damaged, that renders the animal a sorry about this the same that were state this is being stated by an animal also applies to a bird. I one second if that's the case then we have a contradiction right because Rav said that if there's something wrong 33:06 with the animal is is but also said that if the thigh bone is dislocated ultimately it's not tra so how do you reconcile those two he was silent maybe there's a distinction between something that is dislocated and something that is cut right and severed maybe You're coming to try to interpret the statements of here's the problem. That's 33:38 the problem here. Here's here's the here is the truth. Ra actually said this. You're right. You're right. Rab actually said this that if you have something that is dislodged that could still be kasher. So dislodgement does not automatically go and and ren I think dislodgement is a word right also dislodgement I think I think both right you you [clears throat] could choose you could choose able right 34:03 you could choose right narrow nar rivers flow in different ways that's right this look that's okay fine we won't dislocation right ultimately again so so ra wants to make a distinction ultimately again between dislocation and severance so he says kasher dislocation ultimately again will be but if it's cut ultimately again it's going to be possible 34:28 and again don't go ahead this is actually not shocking why again I will say we always get this by tra if there's one thing you see by tra it's what it's what right you can't create a rule what's I mean there is a rule what what's what's the rule right any condition from which an animal would die from within a particular amount of time renders the animal a traa right 34:53 that's the law but I will say I want to point out even that rule is subject to dispute because remember again there's a sub what's the subd dispute does a traa animal die automatically die or not that's also so the so what's a little bit confusing over here is there's no one particular rule or principle that we can make that carries all the way through okay who was saying the following that if a bird has a dislocated thigh 35:27 bone ultimately it is a right literally again by the life of from the time that you came here right again I will say if you before you turn the page just if you look at the last just for a moment right so Rabi and Rabi Abba were both originally from Babel. 35:51 Rabzer celebrations. Rabi Zer made aliyah first. Rabzer made aliyah first. Right. Ultimately again um good. And Rabi Aba was coming second. Ra celebration. So again says made and Rabi Abba ultimately again I don't know if Rabbi Aba is relocating Rabbi Aba is just coming to visit but any event Rabi Abba comes to see Rabi Zer says Rabbi 36:15 ultimately again what is the dislocated thigh bone in a in an animal and ultimately again Rabi Abba responds sorry responds that it is a tra says back to him so again says backbs back from the time that you came says over here. 36:47 So again, you know, you left you left you left. So because you left pavl that made a little bit of a that made a little bit of a of a void ultimately again and therefore we had to ask our shilus regarding right regarding regarding dislocations and what happened so I just want to tell you we you weren't in we had to ask and ask that a 37:14 dislocated thigh bone ultimately does not make the animal a tra and the animal is kasher And furthermore, again was was inspecting foul was inspecting birds after they were in. And where was he checking? By the right by that juncture by that by that bottom juncture of all the senus. We asked him remember again if you hold that a 37:48 dislocated thigh bone is then who cares about the sagen right because that means if the thigh right if the thigh if the thigh is dislocated is it's effectively not attached if it's not attached then who cares about the right so these two go very much hand in hand if you hold that a dislocated thigh thigh bone is kasher then you don't have to care about 38:12 that sagen if you hold that a dislocated thigh bone is a tra then you're going to care about so therefore say interestingly enough so they find so they find they find and he's checking but they're like why it's located if that's the case who cares about to which 38:40 responded all knows what the Mishna says. What does the say? I I I know that ultimately again if there's some level of severance, right? Ultimately, if there's some severing on the leg of the animal above the joint, below the joint, depending on where it is, that could create that could create a tra situation. And therefore, again, I 39:06 have to check. Furthermore, again, but that's not where we're focusing on. Mishna and the Mishna explicitly says that if there's any type of severance in that makes the animal a tra what what what am I I I understand you're telling me what Rav said but all I have is a Mishna and I got to go with what the Mishna says and and Rav himself 39:30 commented about this ultimately again the same applies to a bird and therefore again say it sounds like even Rav himself says that you have to check that which again say remember again That statement carries two important points of information cuz once again if you hold if you hold that you have to inspect stoin then what does that tell you? That tells you that this 39:53 location of the thigh bone would render the animal a tra. So those two statements are interconnected and he said here's the problem. We have a contradiction because Rav is telling me I have to check but Rav also said that dislocation of the thigh bone is so how how do you reconcile those two 40:15 statements? So maybe not maybe it's not a contradiction maybe there is a distinction between dislocation dislocation and severance right that ultimately again perhaps will say like this when something is dislocated ultimately again because say that which is dislocated can be put back into place right say we live our lives predicated 40:45 on this concept that something that is dislocated could be put back into place because not a day goes by that I'm not dislocated from right that somehow again I'm not out of place of stuff that's dislocated can't be put back into place we're all in big trouble so maybe again that's why Rav will say is why because it can be put back into place but something that's separate 41:06 especially by that could be a so as much as we're linking the two the suggests maybe they're not linked maybe they're not linked you're trying to interpret or you're trying to explain the statements of Rav said explicitly incredible. So Rh said explicitly Raph's literally said this statement unequivocally explicitly that 41:35 dislocation could be but seance will be possible. Allah said the problem is we have another statement of Rav. What's the statement of Rav? that ultimately again if the thigh bone is dislocated by a bird it is a again I will say another statement now these statements seem to be pretty unequivocal that ultimately again disloc of the thigh. 42:14 So says and were not for the fact was in the city and his friends passing ultimately again dislocation of the thigh bone ultimately again by a bird is going to says over here means So again ultimately again had been in the city when his when his friends passed literally again he wouldn't have 42:50 flinched he wouldn't have flinch he would have had nothing to say that if you have a dislocated thigh bone by an off it's going to be had a chicken what about it chickenish it thighbone was dislocated he brought up before and said it's so this is powerful because this is a right say whenever we 43:20 see stories like this in the gim they always carry tremendous weight because to a spouse in the theoretical is one thing but to see it applied that's tremendous so this literally happened this literally happened had a chicken with a dislocated thigh bone and what happens they brought up a rebi said it's mutabi Now, here's what's interesting. 43:44 And what did he do? He salted it. Now, what does that mean? He preserved it. Why did he preserve it? Say essentially, this was his um what do you call it? Like his I don't know his cadaavver. You know, his chicken cadaavver. Chicken cadaavver. Okay. 44:02 Good. Chicken cadaavver. Right. This this was right. This was his chicken. So this is what he used to show all the that by the way this is a dislocated thigh bone and this is ultimately permitted this and says after all this we do not follow any of these rulings says ultimately again say asked Look at so what this means remember the ka the 44:42 ka ultimately is the trachea if you have a part of right so literally means that if you have a piece cut out of the trachea how much of the trachea has to be missing in order for the animal to be a traa so that's easy that's easy that's a mishna we'll say that's two years ago right what do the the size of an Italian right so that 45:07 that's the size remember again we made this distinction between perforation and between actually like a piece missing tracheal perforation does not render the animal a tra not render the animal a traa if the trachea is cut more than 51% it will render the animal a traa but if there's a piece actually missing from the traa if it is the size of an Italian is it'll 45:31 make animal is incredible. First wide line. There was once a there was once a sheep. There was once a lamb in our neighborhood say this is wild. This is wild. So say now we're kind of going to get into some of the Okay. So first of all ju just remember our ants outstanding issues. 46:02 What are outstanding issues? Number one, what is the status of a dislocated thigh bone ultimately again by a bird? That's number one. Number two sagedin. What happens if there's a rupture? If there's cottage, right? There's there's severance. There's severance at the saged at that juncture at that juncture where you have all of the senus. What's the status of does that make the animal a tra or not? Then the follow-up question to those two questions is are 46:25 those two issues related and interdependent or not? So just we're just we're now we're just going on a detour. So listen to this. This is wild. So he said to him, there was once a sheep in our neighborhood and the sheep ultimately again had a piece of it trachea that was missing. And again I say apparently the piece of the trachea that was missing was the size of an Italian is and what happened? What 46:49 happened? We made it a bandage. We made it a bandage, right? A bandage made out of different reads. And the animal was healed. The animal was healed. Now, why is this wild? Why? Why? Why is this earthshattering for us? 47:07 Why? We assume that if something makes you a traitful, what does that mean? What does that mean? You can't heal it. You can't heal it. Now, watch this. So, they said to him, "This is what you're relying on. Is but we we we have another what's the other that is the majority opinion that if a bird ultimately has a dislocated thigh 47:33 bone what happens that makes animal had a chicken and one time what happened one time it thighbone became dislocated It's so cute. They made it like a little cast like a little like a splint like a splint. Right. Right. Along right along along the thigh bone and Barashem healed right somehow relocated. I don't know if that's the right word. Right. Right. Or re-engaged the thigh bone of the animal. 48:05 So we'll say now again. So what do you see from here? Now this is this is this is riveting. Why? Because these are supposedly trains we would normally assume mean the animal is going to die from them which would seem to indicate that they're unhealable. Yet here they're actively being healed. 48:23 So we'll say oh so I'll tell you what the difference is over here. Yes, you can heal it but when can you heal it? Yeah. We'll say doesn't mean the animal is going to imminently die like tomorrow. What does it mean? It means it's going to die within 12 months. So, can you provide temporary medicinal intervention? Absolutely. Absolutely. 48:46 So, the fact that the animal has a hole the size of an isser in its tra in its trachea and you patch that up, is that a good stop gap measure? Sure. Can you get another year of life out of that? Absolutely. The thigh bone is dislocated. Can you go ahead and get that back in medically heal that for some type of temporary healing? 49:03 Absolutely. But it'll last for 12 months. So again, this is very important because although we've seen this reference number of times, we've really never delved into this too much. That means the animal is going to imminently die. But imminent imminent doesn't have to mean tomorrow. Imminent can mean 12 months from now is great. They say I will say the over here means that literally that he like he he 49:30 was involved in a lot of stuff. He was a very curious individual and was involved in a lot of different stuff and ultimately again he wanted to engage in a science experiment to show that he was wrong. What did say this is back in our Mishna Huda said that if the down feathers which are the interior smaller feather feathers of the bird are removed then ultimately again 49:58 the animal is going to become a tra. So what did he do? So, so again the experimentter what did he do? So, so there was a there was a chicken's neighborhood where the small the small down feathers were removed. What did he do? 50:17 He put the chicken in the oven. Now the chicken is alive. You're going to see what's happening over here in just a moment. He put the chicken in the oven. He wrapped it. He wrapped it like in a copper smith's blanket. and somehow it regenerated the down the down feathers. So I guess the heat the heat coupled with the fact that he wrapped it in this blanket ultimately 50:41 caused it to regenerate the feathers. One second. So maybe holds that ultimately maybe a animal is capable of getting better before it dies. Right? Maybe say that that wouldn't make any sense. So in other words, if you told me that it regrrew the same feathers that it had before, that's fine. But the fact that it grew re but the fact that it grew feathers that were even better than the 51:14 ones that it had before indicates that Huda, you're wrong. You're wrong ultimately. So the Mishna said that is missing its down feathers. It's a tra and ultimately again wanted to show that that is wrong. Okay. 51:29 Incredible. Soar goes to my ask. So we'll say so so how did get this? How did he get this um reputation that he just like right he's a tinkerer right? Did he tinker like he experimented with stuff right? Where did he get this? Where did he getation say? Incredible. 51:49 [snorts] So also listen to this. So listen to this. So he quotes this go let's just talk go even to a lazy ant. And what happens? Learn from the ant and become wise. 52:16 The ant doesn't have anyone who tells it what to do. And yet the ant even though it doesn't have anyone on top of it giving it orders what to do, the ant still continues along its way. So both say this. So what's the godless of the ant? Most times in life in order for people to do things what has to happen they need someone on top of them constantly pushing them says go and see the ant go 52:43 and see the ant because the ant is so self motivated even the laziest of ants is so self motivated that even without the king without anyone commanding it to do it still does say now watch this so said is it true that ants really don't have a king so listen to his social experiment by ants is it true so what did doamos. 53:06 He went during tamos. Hello. Hello. Right. He went during right. He went say which is why says we cannot stop now. You're just going to give me three extra minutes. It's impossible. It is impossible to stop now. It's not me. It's it's God. So says as follows. Say right. He went during the summer time. Right. He went during the hottest time of the year. Summertime parl. See he went ahead and he put his 53:31 he put his over an ant hole. So you know he blocked out the sun creating shade over the ant hole. He saw one of the ants came out and obviously the ant thought it was all shady, right? It was all shady. He thought maybe there was no sun that day. What does he do? 53:52 He goes and clearly he signal to the other ants. It's a shady day. We don't worry about the sun. Come out. Let's gather what we have to gather. All the other ants. Everybody came out. Everybody came out. Then what did once all the ants were out of the ant hole? He removed he removed his his cloak say then what happened? All the ants realize that sun apparently again ants 54:16 don't like intent. It was also very hot. So it wasn't it would have been a better date to stay in the ant hole. So now once you remove the cloaks all the other ants realized that the first ant was wrong. And what happened? The says they killed the first ant. They killed the first ant because again the first ant misled them. 54:38 What do you see from here? Clearly the ants don't have a king. Because ultimately again if they had a king they would have to ask permission before they killed one of the ants. Maybe the king was there. Maybe the king was one of the ones that also came out and the king said, "Let's get this first guy because he misled us or ultimately again they were carrying 55:06 out the will of the king. Maybe the ants were between kings, right? It happens, right? They were between leaders say, you know what happens when there's no leader? What happens when you're between leaders? Ultimately, again, everyone does what they want. 55:28 rather say at the end of the day at the end of the day just rely on the wisdom of Schlommo. So was trying to show through his own experiment that Malik was right. What does the Gim at the end of the day say? Don't try to prove that Shaalik was right. Rather what should you do with the wisdom of what should you do? Just live it. Just live it. Abu say this is one of the most incredible and profound lessons in the world when 55:51 it comes to Yiddishkite. Don't spend your time trying to prove it. Just realize it comes from and again added on by great men with don't try to prove it. Spend your energy trying to live it. All right, let's stop over here today. 56:09 Wow. Okay. Zoom. Have a great chabas everyone. Are you sitting in a What's the What's the green on top over there?
