we're here on this beautiful Wednesday evening we are here studying today um the topic of birthdays topic of birthdays in general what is it what is in it how should it be celebrated should it be celebrated and that's what we're going to try to attempt today I apologize that my uh screen is someone blocked off so ask me to say yeah that's what that tells us in Source number one right he [Music] he made a feast for all of his servants so First Source we have in the entire Torah of birthdays whose birthday is it doesn't seem like it's a Jewish tradition okay says the um you're not allowed to do business with them to buy excuse me to buy and sell from agoi three days before the holiday from agoi three days before the holiday of ogoi why we're scared you're gonna do business with him and what's gonna happen he's gonna go on he's gonna thank his belief and that's why we don't do business with him before their holidays okay that's a mishna by the way okay three days before the elu says what are the holidays number one is calendar calendar sounds a lot like calendar but we're gonna leave it yes meaning this was a goish practice that going the king is considered an edge in order to do business we're not allowed to do business yes you know how to do business with a guy why because their whole birthday was sirazana celebrated their birthday with idolatry okay so so far we have two sources that it's not so Jewish
