What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Okay, good morning everyone. We're continuing Siman kuf nun hey. We're in the Rama. The Rama says that commenting on the Machaber that after you leave the Beit Haknesset, you could you should go to the Beit Midrash and you should be kovea a time to learn and it should be set even if you're going to lose out and give up um and profit. The The Rama then says someone who doesn't know how to learn should go to the Beit Midrash at least he gets halacha. Or and the way the the Mishna Berurah changed the girsah of the word oy, vi yikba leyo makom, you should have a set place in the Beit Midrash. Veyoman ma'apeh mashie veyilmad a little bit whatever you know, veyachasev binyanav. Think about life. And veyikaneh beliba yiras shamayim. Says the Mishna Berurah, veyachasev binyanav perush sheyirah veyivdok beshiftayim. Tsas. Panuy beveis hamidrash im yesh tzad aveirah bemasso umatan shel ayin, gazel ve'onah, veribbis vechadaima, veyifrosh mimena. What should a person think about when they're sitting quietly in the shul after davening? You should think did I steal money from anybody? Do I have money in my account that doesn't belong to me? That's the main thing to think about. That's the main cheshbon hanefesh. Do you have money that doesn't belong to you? Did you steal from somebody? Did you rationalize that money belongs to you that it that doesn't? Okay. Seif bet. Kodem sheyeilech leveis hamidrash. Before you go to the shul to the Beit Midrash, before you go to the study hall yuchal le'echol pas shacharis. You're allowed to eat your morning bread im hu ragil bo, if you're accustomed to it, vetov sheyargil bo. It is good to be accustomed to it.
