SmallTalk: Siddur Shaarei Rachamim (with Rabbi Dov Loketch and Rabbi Eliezer Weisfish)

0:00Welcome to Small Talk by Sform chatter. I'm Nachy Weinstein On this episode of Small Talk I'm going to be joined by rabbit to a vlog catch She was a businessman in Detroit and he volunteers as a Robin Detroit I could see a show of Morgan ever on and I'll also be joined by a rabbit The otherwise fish who edits and publish farm so and this episode of the podcast will be discussing the city of Shairach with the parish Magatetic over the pinckas of Polotsk the magnet of Polotsk the Tamil Agrar me based my Josh Aisha lagra and they put out the new edition There's also recently also a small country as a pamphlet city Shairach and then the magnet of Polotsk Rebino Pinchas been you who the Alchol which is kind of has the more historical information with Different images and so on so thank you Robert Lockech and Robert Weissfist for joining me. Let's just jump straight into the city to start before we get into Repair Kosopa lots, but what can you tell the listeners about this city?

1:00What can I tell you about the city that did you try to open it first? Do you ever think of a few I have it in front of me, but I want you to tell the listeners that don't have it Hi, if you open it up first you can see the text of the city by itself All of the sidurim all what you have over there is like one One full page, yeah, and children in six or seven grade never trouble and have to read it Yeah, but in this city everything is cut into paragraphs for example, I can show you when I was my problem when I was in school So we know to show that the malchries the harnesses shake for us So in all the next story, it was in one big page now what is the malchries? What is this? What is the shifu noise and and I don't think it's just for six for six graders It's also for adults when the eye sees things So you think better and you know what you're talking Absolutely now let's let's talk about the commentary here. What about the commentary in the city of the moment? I'm telling you right in his acdome

2:00That he is from the head of the go end and the go end was a winning coin There is It's written by noya that had it noya now what is tall and what's not so he says It was the arc that noya has building table means also a word Yeah, table table is a word right So if you see that this shot goes into the words without without ice-cratching the word yeah So you know that that's a good shot and that's why everything is explaining without without I don't have to say it exactly, but you know Pushing around the world what style would you say is the commentary as a whole? They're always chucked Sure for example, I will give you an example in Eastmas you saying yeah It'll feed them all a shiraka young yeah ursane urino come on god love so shirah like the sea okay

3:04We know that he stamps the shirah but we never heard about the shirah of the of the waves of the sea. What's your? Do they say? No, no, I couldn't find this shot before him So he says the gimola in Baba Bassa says the Trabibaba Hone heard like one wave is telling the other wave Did you leave more place in the world that you didn't flush it? So he says you talking you know a shava spooning a little bit of sand On the beach and you cannot cross this little bit of sand no matter how big you are Yeah, so when you see the waves of the sea are breaking into the sand It's just the shava of the konshboh who has a somkhoi mula yo That's what he says shot That's an example of his shot in the sida Now another aspect of the city we have something called Sidura that's elusa Sidura that's loisa has nothing to do with the maggot Sidura that's loisa has to do I'm sorry with me I was always when I was learning What is this piece of the sida who made it who installed into the sida when was it

4:07How did it come into the sida and what has it mean into the sida and I was writing for myself doing the years I was writing to myself from Hazal from Lishoynim and a little bit for a hoining too Every piece of the sida what is it coming from and what is it imprint the first time Ali Esters a lot of times a lot of time with manuscripts at the national library Looking at old Sidurim and the old texas to see what is the correct text What is the correct sources and all of that material was placed into the to loisa section the upper section of the sida so The sida comprised both and they're both very valuable the source So all of the sida sida Tex and also below the line the maggots original Peerish that he gave now in the in the introduction and in the in the english this entire list of

5:12sources that the maggot used for his sida for his sida peerish and just to look it over It's it's like tens of Sforim sifre mousse sifre kabbalah that encode he incorporated into the peerish on his sida It's a vast Storehouse of perushim over the centuries that he used so it's very very valuable to be brought together in this one perish of the maggot And i'll add in also the sida tex loisa so for example like what you do here so it says i'm turning to Tril Shaq with my fisherman Esters is honey you'd chest knegged me and you quote you have it quote you know Rebuy is the farmer knegged shmana esters karshibah kreshman then you you write in parentheses the source Bra cheskif chesman bays and then the next one you'll have a urasham urasham the avudraam tanchuma so Not only do you bring it down it's you have the full quotation plus the source so someone interested can go pull out that source and go check it out

6:12So that is probably wise as your work and then you have the commentary as well Also, I it should mention their rabbi locat was mentioning that's the the contrast a little paperback kind of Historical overview about this sida that was published now in english you can buy that as well That's a separate thing the sida's available source that conscious available stores and Perhaps that'll be available on amazon. I was talking to our local church as well But right now that's where those two are available I do want to turn to be wisefish or a bit of a local cheater one Want to just talk in brief we we talked about the sida we can talk more, but I do want to mention All right, pink is a poloske the magat a poloske his you know listeners may have heard of him Maybe familiar with him, but I think if you can say a word or two about his biography and who he was So listeners can get an appreciation of who we're talking about First First he says in one of his form is that I was a tell me don't actually attack him my my daily yo for over a year To be a tell me of the gohan for a year and for over a year That says a lot and if you will see in the biography that the issue of syrenk of his writing about him when he became sick in Galicia

7:12Then to Galicia and he got sick over there So they sure syrenk of his writing about him and not seem co-ealoo hey mo ne at him So people like him have very few So they sure syrenk is test testifying a person and not seem co-ealoo a mo ne at him Wording it more than that There's also one more thing I want to tell you and actually the way I come to I came to the syrenk is with a famous shak That you have at his cedar ishim so that bound That someone came to the to the gohan and he showed him a pure show the syrenk And in syrenk which is out of the forest and in syrenk is written why will we be sucking to say I'm doing oil long shakres So he says that the gimura and you miss the yoshal and you miss the tespis brings it That then you keep him morning there's the koi the koi got this asking if he does one ashita the oymarane At here kolomizrach the oymarane at you bechhevorayin mo rymarane you see the old conversation

8:13Speaking about air kolomizrach havorayin without mentioning the obes so you see for me That there is a union to mention the obes without the name So that's why they were msakain adoin oilon Shalohayin was a kolomizrach who was doing what you do you see the koi And the thing that shakhis was adoin was sakain so you have a scorer like the gimura and you You said that you have a scorer of the obes of adoin with out mentioning his name And the gohan was mamesh so he ishil ishil ishil said with double zeg With double zeg at the gohan was mechales this pivosh So if you have someone with the gohan with the gohan was mechales this pivosh So if means a lot Also he wrote many others far i wish you'd mentioned he wrote just a few of them and you have a full list in the english one you have a Chew it you mehuda on michaelay he has Terakhamel khanshi rishirum Terakhayam on gales Mejesh Khakhamim on tehlam but shabdav Khamaskis Khakhamim Put out a new edition he has to say forgive us pin khos He has to say for there's right shagiva he has droshes

9:16I was mokya dame dosh Khakhamim Oh you were nice also i have a kestr tohara right And then the safer kestr tohara think of it also put out Also i was mokya dame dosh Khakhamim So there's a couple of either not so easy to come by anymore but those farm as well and then there's this This sider now tell me also you mentioned in this sider besides the fact that you did it again We already mentioned that it's a beautiful new edition. It's a big sider by the way as well It's almost 900 pages It kind of as everything one is massive siderum But also you there are additions from manuscript what what additions are those can you talk about the kind of you Took the old edition of the sider you printed it but you added things to manuscript I get it. It took me a lot of time till i got the old copy of the sider The old edition of the sider which was printed in school a city of schools 12 kufl khas which is 17 uh 17 88 And you know they're not to have mistakes and i want to have the original one And then a couple years ago i heard that someone the khas said in Ridleym's word has the original copy that the makhab al had and he is in his savyaad he was fixing up a lot of things and adding things

10:23So then i went to america and it was very very very Very generous. It was standing with me copying with me and make sure that i should have everything It was very very happy that the sydavati has should come to use and indeed in the third edition We got all the corrections So they're a graphic artist and later a graphic artist from i know most ellipse exactly so she was very Very Very talented she was like putting a team that you almost don't see that was a correction here So most of his stuff from most of the manuscript are corrections or it's more perusion What would you say the edition? It's correctsals and also some perusion that she was putting a team now and then this new history um english edition that you published this little pamphlet that was because you wanted to add kind of to this new edition to the cedar you want to add a historical overview But you kind of kept it separate so it's not in the cedar That's i must say that's right just about your catch he is responsible for the english edition of the history Because i embarrassed what english is up mine model tone and i know don't master english as well

11:28So i mean look at y'all ask you so what was the impetus for publishing this uh english historical overview It's really to make it to make the cedar more understandable It's valued to a wider audience So there's an extensive Hebrew introduction to his life and to his other sforum But people today don't read uh Hebrew introductions Too much you know they go into the The actual cedar however to frame the appreciation of who the maggot was and the extent of his vast writings if we would Place all of that information in an english introductory pamphlet even if you just used it once and there we were produced many of the uh Shireblatt of the different sforum that he wrote and we also have a facsimile of the actual

12:32notes that the maggot placed in his own cedar all of that information and graphics pictures of Rochelle was on an hour by having the cedar on his table So all of that serves to add to the chashivas and to the unique special nature of this volume So it's not something you need uh to continuously have as you use the cedar but it clearly gives you a Show you the chashivas and the value of the cedar and that makes it more appreciative and acceptable into the broader Torah world Yes, okay, I'm going I wouldn't I wouldn't be able to say it better I remember wise for sure, you know you mentioned an example or two before any other examples that you want to tell the listeners that really illustrate What the maggot is looking to do in his commentary on the cedar? Yes, take a look. I will tell you about in the emesway ati we have 16 what we have 16 woven We are civil nohoin and he shows that every single wall has to do with the posse in kriyasma

13:35the emesway ati we just said kriyasma and Just said kriyasma and the wall means emesway ati comes to say that we are accepting and ask everything what we wrote in kriyasma now the guan was so nice spoiled from this shot That he used to say it over and Akili kar in akhsaba and cedar dachshba rakhsaba kabole he brings in the name of the go But since we know that it's not the goen but we know that the goen a lot of things that the goen says That's ati's hindus, but whenever he saw Something emes used to say it again and again to whoever wanted to hear it So akili kar that he was repeating it so many times that people thought that he was the hala shabda That's a city in fila vaksava kabole Okay, the cedar in fila vaksava kabole Yeah, who would you say i guess we could ask the question to both of you to finish off from a wise facialist you first and a real look at Who would you say this cedar is for or really

14:35Who would enjoy benefit using this cedar? I will tell you six graders can enjoy it When they don't see the text to see if they see everything is working into paragraphs and they can see exactly what is it start about as it finished and also I know all people that they use it on a regular basis Young guys can use them before shim Some people are just taking there in their in their in their training that i'm bringing it's for all for all the ages It's not limited for it's not really it's not We're off box what the rest of shiva of our Shiva godola here in Detroit for many years and that cedar was by him the main cedar that he used now Every single day and many his mochutten used it every day So it's it ranges from the tamirichachamim of our door Have a great appreciation of it. I've ramal usman zazal use it as his cedar

15:37On a regular basis and many others use it as a reference They want to know where the source is for lila dady where's the source for this particular period They pull it out of their reference shelf and they see it then Without necessarily using it on an everyday basis. So the range is very broad it could be used for the Top of the line for sources for macawis the cedar and if you want to get an interesting shot in Pasook in a phrase in the cedar that wants to give it much more meaning He the mage it has the ability to instill with his purish a irishamayam and a muser and an appreciation of the ruchnis and the Sheifas that are contained in the words of the cedar that you don't necessarily experience just by reading it But just lowering your eyes into a purish from the mage it elevates you into a Givalric feeling of ruchnis and sheifa when you read the cedar so it's a range from

16:42tamirichachamim or shishivas Fellows in the ishiva and even balabatin it's such a broad range Ghosts and bassiacov Ghost is seminar using get the bot really has a wide audience It can help many people anybody who wants to take their governing seriously We're glad to buy this cedar And now it's back in print. It's available. You can get the cedar you can get the Like I said the English Historical supplement. They want to read about the history So I will link to those in the show notes. It should be available widely in swarms stores as well and thank you rabbi wisefishing Thank you rabbi locates for joining me on that podcast. Thank you. Thank you And thank you very much dog.
