Pesach | Birkat HaShir (2), by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom Why is "Nishmat Kol Chai" the appropriate hymn with which to finish Leil haSeder?  As we discussed in the previous shiur, the liturgical poem "Nishmat Kol Chai" is quite ancient and predates the era of the פייטנים. It is mentioned by R. Yochanan as the "Birkat haShir" which is to accompany the fourth (or fifth?) cup at the Seder. After reviewing some of the Halakhic considerations regarding its recitation - including a quick survey of the main approaches among the ראשונים regarding what is said over the fourth cup and if there is a fifth cup, we turn to the text itself and analyze it, line by line, seeing its development from a hymn about personal thanksgiving to a national-historic song of praise to an eschatological vision of universal acknowledgement of God's glory. I then suggest why this was an appropriate poem to be added to the Seder and, from there, to be instituted as the culmination of Psukei d'Zimra - what Chazal referred to as "the daily Hallel" (הלל שבכל יום).

Today's daf is sponsored by Rikki and Alan Zibitt in loving memory of their mothers, Helen Zibitt, Hena bat Yaacov v' Rachel Leah, whose 20th yahrzeit was 28 Adar and Friedl bat Meir v' Rivkah, whose 10th yahrzeit is 9 Nisan. "They were true Women of Valor, who lived lives of hesed, loshon tov and ahavat Yisrael. We miss them every day! May their neshamot have the highest aliyah." Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish disagree about how to understand three different verses relating to Gehenom and the final redemption - Reish Lakish interprets them all harshly and rabbi Yochanan more leniently. The language of redemption used in the Torah describes both getting out of Egypt and coming into the land of Israel. Rabbi Simai makes a heikesh - just like the Jews entered the land with only two out of the 600,000 that came out of Egypt, they also came out of Egypt with the same percentage of people that were there. If 600,000 came out, it must be that there were 180 billion people there, and they died before the Exodus. The same will hold e for the days of the Messiah, as is derived from Hosea 2:17. Two situations are described in which Moshe is critical of God. The people of a wayward city, that were convinced by members of their city to worship idols, do not have a share in the World-to-Come. The halakhic details of this city are discussed.

We will also discuss the personal assistance of NEW “AI Agents” and their influence. No turning back … no turning around! I have been teaching and writing on Artificial Intelligence since 2015. This message is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for YOU―STUDY! _________________________________ In case you want to bring yourself up to speed with AI from the start I recommend you go to my teachings on AI FUTURE. Also, make sure you familiarize yourself with AGI and ASI here: 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND NEW AI. Now let's bring you up to date on some things that are super important to you now and will be more so in your future: Free Speech vs. Loss of Free Will New Kids on the Block AI Agents External Players What Should YOU Do FREE SPEECH VS. LOSS OF FREE WILL With the increased use of AI―not only by YOU personally―but by multitudes of data centers you have interacted with unknowingly, your biggest fight will be to protect and reclaim YOU, YOUR PERSON … YOUR PERSONAL YOU! Whether YOU decide to align with and use AI, whether you decide to have your brain “wired” to an outside source of intelligence, or whether you just want to use AI for recreation … you will―AT THE RATE WE'RE PROGRESSING―lose your VIRTUAL YOU if you do not know HOW to protect your SELF … that would be your SOUL! NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK Some of the New Kids have a common goal: take universal control of AI before China and bad actors do. Vladimir Putin says “the nation that leads in AI will be the ruler of the world.” Who are some of the New Kids? DeepSeek, Stargate, xAI Grok, DEEPSEEK China's DeepSeek (probably built from AI stolen from USA) can ultimately be the weapon of dictators and terrorists! Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd., doing business as DeepSeek, is a Chinese artificial intelligence company that develops large language models. Hangzhou-based DeepSeek's large language models upended the AI sector this year, rivaling Western systems in performance but at a much lower cost. That's resulted in much pride and glee in China, with DeepSeek held up as proof that U.S. efforts to contain tech advances in China will ultimately fail. China's joyful embrace of DeepSeek has gone one step deeper China's joyful embrace of DeepSeek has gone one step deeper extending to TVs, fridges and robot vacuum cleaners with a slew of home appliance brands announcing that their products will feature the startup's artificial intelligence models. The device will be able to comprehend complex instructions such as 'Gently wax the wooden floor in the master bedroom but avoid the Legos.' DeepSeek's AI assistant was the No. 1 downloaded free app on Apple's iPhone store recently. Its launch made Wall Street tech superstars' stocks tumble. Observers are eager to see whether the Chinese company has matched America's leading AI companies at a fraction of the cost. Many feel it is so much cheaper because it stole USA technology.   NOTE 1. We may be only one year away from destroying our digital infrastructure. NOTE 2. We have to be right every time ...every single time …. But the enemy (even an individual) only has to be right ONE TIME. With “questionable” players like DeepSeek, the only protection you can use is to have “layers of control.” DeepSeek is noticeably opaque when it comes to privacy protection, data-sourcing, and copyright, adding to concerns about AI's impact on the arts, regulation, and national security. STARGATE SIMPLE OVERVIEW: Stargate developers believe they're creating “god.” One goal is “No death―just download yourself.” _________________________________ TRADE THE MESSINESS OF LIFE FOR KNOWLEDGE VERSUS THE ETERNITY OF YOUR GOD CREATED SOUL ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WHICH GOD WILL YOU SERVE? THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU … OR “AI” _________________________________ A major goal of Stargate developers is to build our massive “AI” infrastructure. Stargate investors―Oracle, SoftBank, Open AI / Larry Ellison, Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman―claim that it will require 100,000 jobs (temporary) to build out Stargate. This will require an enormous amount of energy to faciltiate AI operation. NOTE: Stargate is a portal for interdimensional travel. Interdimensional travel is a theoretical concept referring to the potential of travelling between different dimensions or parallel universes. Interdimensional travel is linked to time travel as it could involve moving through different points in time. However, time travel refers to movement within our own dimension, while interdimensional travel involves transitioning between dimensions. WARNING: Interdimensional travel is a PORTAL―also―to the PARANORMAL and the OCCULT. ALERT: Stargate has as a MAJOR purpose the self propagation towards AGI and ASI. You can NOT control ASI. Super Intelligence is synonymous with the End Time Tower of Babel via the merging of man with machine. We're looking at 5,000 years of progress boiled down to ONE SECOND. _________________________________ WHEN ASI TAKES AUTHORITY THRU PEOPLE USING IT VIA “AI AGENTS” THERE IS NO GOING BACK _________________________________ XAI GROK Of the New Kids on the Block, the most transparent, efficient and non-biased of DeepSeek, Stargate and xAI Grok the BEST is Elon Musk's xAI Grok. I personally recommend at this time Grok 3 (Beta) and have used it for detailed financial analysis. Meta and Google are biased with input. So it is with DeepSeek and Stargate. DeepSeek is extremely biased pertaining to inquiries concerning China. The race to AGI will generate billions of $$$. It will be the largest productivity boom in a lifetime. It is my opinion that Elon Musk's xAI will come to the forefront in months. AI Suoer Intelligence (ASI) may be here before the next election in 2028. Full AGI may be here by the end of 2026 thru 2027. AGI can learn and reason across ALL levels. And, as I mentioned previously, AI Super Intelligence (ASI) may be here before the next election in 2028. ASI is “across the board, multi dimensional, asymptotic intelligence.” ASI could decide to eliminate less intelligent and less skilled humans! An Open AI employee recently resigned because they were very concerned that as AGI and ASI are developed … “the less likely we will find a way to control it.”   AI AGENTS   AI Agents will be introduced in 2025. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent refers to a system or program that autonomously performs tasks for a person or system by using available tools. These can be normal―even detailed―duties or assignments we would normally do ourselves, like: Order food for my trip next week and have it delivered Thursday morning. Find three landscapers and obtain a quote for trimming my large palm tree and all plants in the front yard. Find the best and cheapest FASTEST flight connections (not over one layover) to Tel Aviv from San Diego. Pay with my credit card ending in 1234. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities.   Elon Musk says, “We are at the event horizon.” In the world of artificial intelligence, the idea of “singularity” looms large. This slippery concept describes the moment AI exceeds beyond human control and rapidly transforms society … for good or bad … but out of our control.   AI agents will be prevalent by the end of 2025. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities.   AI Agents will normally perform tasks you would normally do yourself. AI Agents will move you into a place where you don't have to do anything. Your own personal assistant that anticipates what you need―or what you forgot! THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WITH AI AGENTS You will become addicted and NOT able to disconnect Stock market tips = Reverse AI Courts will become AI Agents Imagine a “god like” figure who tries to influence You will have to be Amish to avoid it If you don't participate, AI may consider YOU a retard.   EXTERNAL PLAYERS UFO's are NOT from China, Iran or USA. UFO's are NOT aliens from outer space. AI Agents can transform into “Transpersonal” Agents. As “Event Horizon” transforms everything it will become a tool of Satan: Fallen angels Demons Principalities, powers and dominions AntiChrist … False Messiah   WHAT SHOULD YOU DO Reflect on what it means to be human. What is YOUR compass, your purpose: Family? God? What is real and worth fighting for―worth losing your life for? Who will be with YOU on the other side? To learn more about YOUR future with AI read my book Enhanced Humans ~ Mystery Matrix (available in eBook and Paperback formats). _________________________________ PRAY THIS PRAYER: “ADONAI, I am not sure I know you personally.

2 sections- proof to position of R Yochanan that source mila on Shabbat from "uvayom", source that can do mila on tzara'at and discussion of logical steps (2 V's)

Abby Pogrebin sits with Rabbi Marc Katz to discuss Yochanan's Gamble, his book that explores how the pragmatic choices of ancient rabbis offer a framework for navigating modern moral dilemmas with nuance and compromise.

On the brink of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, Yohanan ben Zakkai made an astonishing decision.  When faced with an opportunity to ask for anything from the new Roman emperor, Vespasian, rather than choosing to ask him to spare the Temple, Yochanan asked only for permission to start a school and preserve Jewish teachings in Yavneh, south of modern day Tel Aviv.  Rabbi Marc Katz argues that this decision underscores how the Rabbis were the ultimate pragmatists in his new book Yochanan's Gam­ble: Judais­m's Prag­mat­ic Approach to Life. Is Katz right, and how should we consider pragmatism through a modern perspective?

התוכן בסיום מס' סוכה: "מעשה במרים בת בילגה שהמירה דתה והלכה ונשאת לסרדיוט א' ממלכי יוונים, כשנכנסו יוונים להיכל (בימי מתתיהו בן יוחנן) היתה מבעטת בסנדלה על גבי המזבח ואמרה: לוקוס לוקוס (זאב) עד מתי אתה מכלה ממונן של ישראל ואי אתה עומד עליהם בשעת הדחק?! וכששמעו חכמים בדבר קבעו את טבעתה [של כל המשמרת] וסתמו את חלונה" "משום .. אוי לרשע אוי לשכנו טוב לצדיק טוב לשכנו". גודל שבחן של ישראל שבזה שלכן מפרסמת התורה את שמה, ודוקא ממנה לומדים ד"טוב לצדיק טוב לשכינו": 1) בנוגע לכל ישראל – אע"פ שאז היו רדיפות איומות על עניני הדת, היתה היא היחידה מבנות ישראל שהתקלקלה! 2) בנוגע אלי' – אע"פ ש"המירה דתה", ו"נשאת לסרדיוט", תובעים ממנה ונענשת (אפי') ע"ז שביעטה בסנדלה על המזבח! וי"ל שזה המקור למ"ש הרמב"ם שירבעם בן נבט, שהי' "חוטא ומחטיא את ישראל", נענש גם על שלא עשה עירוב תבשילין! שבזה רואים עד כמה חביב כאו"א מישראל, אפי' זה שחוטא ומחטיא, שכל פרט שבו נוגע לעצומ"ה! ועוד: מה כואב לילדה מישראל ש"המירה דתה" ו"נשאת לסרדיוט" – מדוע אין המזבח מגין על יהודי בעת צרתו?!משיחת ו' תשרי ה'תשל"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-12-2024 Synopsis The Gemara says at the end of Maseches Sukkah: “There was an incident involving Miriam bas Bilgah, who renounced her faith and married a soldier of the Greek kings. When the Greeks entered the Heichal (in the days of Mattisyahu ben Yochanan), she was kicking with her sandal on the Mizbeach and said: ‘Wolf, wolf! Until when will you consume the property of the Jewish people, and yet you do not stand with them when they face exigent circumstances?' When the Sages heard about this, they fixed the ring [of all the mishmaros] and sealed its niche…” because of the principle, “Woe unto the wicked, woe unto his neighbor. Good for the righteous, good for his neighbor.” The fact that the Torah tells us her name, and derives specifically from her the principle of “Good for the righteous, good for his neighbor,” demonstrates the greatness of the Jewish people: (1) Although the Jewish people were suffering severe persecution, she was the only one among the daughters of the Jewish people who strayed. (2) Despite having “renounced her faith” and “married a soldier,” she is held accountable (even) for kicking the Mizbeach with her sandal. It can be said that this is the source of the Rambam's statement in Iggeres Teiman, that although Yeravam ben Nevat was “a sinner who caused the Jewish people to sin,” he was still held accountable even for failing to keep eruv tavshilin. From this we see how cherished every Jew is, even one who sins and causes others to sin – every detail of their behavior matters to Hashem Himself! Moreover: What pained this Jewish girl, who “renounced her faith and married a Greek soldier? – she was bothered that the Mizbeach wasn't protecting the Jews in their time of distress.Excerpt from sichah of 6 Tishrei 5735 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-12-2024

R Yochanan restricts only day before minor festivals and explains Mishna Megilla 5a accordingly

A new mishnah! On how a healthy person can transfer property to others -- to go into effect after that person's death: the phrasing of "from now until after death." But what happens to that property during the lifetime? Neither father nor son can sell those properties during the father's lifetime. And if the son did sell, the buyer does not have the right until father's death. But does the father need to say, " from now" to begin with? The Gemara suggests that the date alone should be enough. Also, the case of all of the above, but where the son dies in his father's lifetime -- what happens if the son has sold the property before he died? Does the sale take effect (say, after the father's death? Or not at all? It's a dispute between R. Yochanan and Resh Lakish.

A practical example, of one who found his children to be lacking and gave all of his property to Yonatan ben Uziel instead of to his official heirs. The sage gave a portion of that gift back to the children, which opened a tussle with Shammai, over the standing of the benefactor's wishes. Also, the 80 students of Hillel the Elder, and their greatness, including the least of them being R. Yochanan ben Zakkai, and how accomplished and steadfast he was in learning Torah. Also, a new mishnah! When man who specifies his heirs, he's largely believed - and then his wife would be proven exempt from yibum. Which is more of a "yibum" issue than an "inheritance" issue, but it applies to both.

Friday, 1 November 2024   Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, Matthew 4:21   “And having advanced thence, He saw others, two brothers – James, the ‘of Zebedee,' and John, his brother – in the boat with Zebedee their father, repairing their nets. And He called them” (CG).   In the previous verse, Simon and Andrew were said to have left their nets and followed Jesus. Now, it next says, “And having advanced thence.”   The meaning is from where Simon and Andrew were but still along the shore of the sea. The word ekeithen is used. It is an adverb meaning “from there.” A single English word, also an adverb, that gives the sense is the word thence. Continuing along, it says, “He saw others, two brothers.”   Jesus started with the brothers Peter and Andrew and now He directs His attention to another set of brothers. They are “James, the ‘of Zebedee,' and John, his brother.”   Quite often in the Bible, the state of belonging to or possession is implied. In this case, most translations add in the words “son of” such as “James the son of Zebedee.” Some translations avoid that by saying, “James of Zebedee.” That is acceptable, but the Greek reads, “James the Zebedee.” The state of belonging is found in the article itself. Thus, saying, “James the ‘of Zebedee'” conveys the full intent.   The name James (Greek: Iakóbos) comes from the Greek of the Hebrew name Jacob (Greek: Iakób, Hebrew: Yaaqov). That is derived from the word aqev, the heel. The reason for the name is based on the birth of Jacob in Genesis 25 where he grabbed the heel of his brother during birth. This name has a few different meanings which are based on the idiom “takes hold by the heel.”   The idea is that in grabbing someone by the heel, you will trip him up. But there is also the idea of a deceiver, one who supplants, or one who follows closely behind. All of these fit the life and circumstances of Jacob. But grabbing the heel, or “following after” gives the right sense. His name was, and remains to this day, a popular name for Jews and Christians.   The name Zebedee comes from the Hebrew name Zebadiah (Hebrew: Zebadyah). That is derived from zabad, to bestow, and Yah, a shortened form of the name of the Lord, Yehovah. Thus, it means Gift of Yah or Given of Yah.   The name John (Greek: Ióannés) is from the Hebrew name Yochanan. That is derived from Yah and khanan, to show favor or grace. Thus, the name means Yah is Gracious, Yah Has Been Gracious, or something similar. With the names explained, it next says they were, “in the boat with Zebedee their father.”   It appears that Peter and Andrew were casting from the shore, but it is possible they were on a pier or even a boat as well. The narrative didn't specify other than to say they were casting a net into the sea. These two are on a boat with their father. But instead of casting it says they were “preparing their nets.”   The Greek word katartizó is used. It means to prepare. This could include repairing, mending, or simply getting them ready to be used. The idea is bringing something into its proper condition. Before fishing, nets have to be properly arranged. After fishing, they need to be reorganized so that they are not all tangled up.   At times, nets need to be mended or more fully repaired. It isn't stated what the case is here. They could have been on their way out to go fishing, just finishing up their fishing, or repairing the nets after having fished. No matter which, the next words indicate that dad will probably have to finish up without them because Matthew records, “And He called them.”   Like Peter and Andrew, Jesus came upon the men while they were engaged in their activities. The calling at this time is purposeful – “You are in the middle of something important to you. Rather than waiting till you are done, I am calling to you now. What is your priority?”   Life application: Every person who has believed in Jesus has a calling. This doesn't have to be something big like dropping everything and heading to Thailand, but it is a calling, nonetheless. When you first believed in Jesus, you probably didn't know much beyond a few sentences conveyed to you about what He had done for you.   You accepted that premise and the Bible says that in your act of faith, He saved you. Your calling, then, is to get to know your Savior. If someone calls a woman to be his wife through an arranged marriage, the wife now has the responsibility to know her husband, what he expects, what he likes and doesn't like, and so forth.   The same is true with new employment, joining the military, etc. When you enter boot camp, it is to know and learn what you have committed to. The Christian's boot camp includes the technical manual for his work in his new assignment. This is the Bible. The Christian's new Husband has expectations of His bride. He has things that please Him and things that don't please Him.   How can you be an effective bride if you don't attempt to learn how to please the Lord? How can you be an effective soldier if you don't know the training manual for soldiering? Both of these metaphors are used concerning Christian life. And yet, how great a percent of Christians hardly bother with these things at all.   Rather than a secondary focus in our lives, it should be the main focus. Everything else we do should be relegated to a lesser state of importance as we learn obedience to the Lord. Are you doing this? If not, then why not? Get on it! Start today! Be the Christian that you have been called to be!   Lord God, help us to be faithful followers of the Lord Jesus who saved us from our sins. May we diligently study the word that tells us of our responsibilities as believers. May this be the primary focus of our lives all our days. Yes, Lord, may it be so to Your glory. Amen.

More on inheritance - with a harsh pronouncement: a man who dies without sons is reflecting God's wrath. Plus, the story of R. Yochanan, who focused on the inheritance in students, because he himself had lost 10 sons. As well as R. Yehoshua ben Levi's special effort to pay a shiva visit/ condolence call to those who died without sons. Also, the hierarchy or priority of heirs, and how that is passed on to the next heirs as well.

Today's daf is sponsored by Sue Talansky in loving memory of her mother, Ruth Stromer. "Holocaust survivor and woman of valor. You left us very young but imprinted in us great confidence and strength. Making you proud was one of my greatest joys." Today's daf is sponsored by David and Mitzi Geffen in loving memory of Mitzi's brother, Dr. Dennis Lock, Yochanan ben Yaakov, on his 2nd yahrzeit tomorrow. "He was a loving husband, father, uncle and grandfather; a devoted physician; and had a love of learning Talmud. He is sorely missed." What parts are included/not included in the sale of the boat? Since boats were mentioned, Raba and Rabba bar bar Chana bring many stories about things they saw while traveling or stories that were told to them by those who came from the sea. The stories are very exaggerated and their meaning unclear. Many view these stories as allegorical.

This is PART 2 of my continued discussion with Eddie Chumney, director of Hebraic Heritage Ministries in the USA. We will be discussing the Qumran House of Tzadok Priestly authority and their festival calendar along with its historical context and prophetic significance for these days as we eagerly await the return of Yeshua the Messiah. In this program, we will speak about Exodus 19:5-6, the Melchizedek link to the New Covenant Book of Hebrews chapters 6-8, and the exchange of the Levitical law for the higher and more superior Melchizedek law of the King/Priest Messiah. We will also look into the naming and birth of Yochanan or John the Baptist in Luke Chapter 1 as well as the significance of the ministry of John or Yochanan "the Baptist" and his immersion of Yeshua in the Jordan in Matthew 3:13 and how it relates to the ministry of Elijah in Malachi Chapters 3-4, who was a prophet divinely appointed to announce the restoration of all things before the coming of Messiah who must restore the fallen tent or Tabernacle of the House of David. Our discussion will also examine the context of Matthew 15:24-25 as it speaks about a Canaanite Woman and the bread that falls from the Master's Table. Further, we will also look into Galatians 3:19, which concerns a reference to the law of the Levitical Priesthood and how this speaks about the Melchizedek priesthood calling in light of the Spirit and Power of Elijah.
