his brother tsv okay so shalom so the first question is you already said shiloh sunni guy god thank you that i'm not a gentile which by the way we explained from rip schwab this is not a denigrating bracha we're not saying that they don't serve an important function in this world but we're thanking hashem for our opportunity to be commanded in mitzvos god almost so once we're not a gentile why do we have to thank hashem shalom and avid kanani is a gentile so we've already said that we've already said what are we adding by saying a gentile slave a shaft alpi nevertheless in other words i by already said shall i say no um an aved is better than a guy why because an evidence higher than mitzvah nevertheless we are much better become who mesozoid because inevitably is very degraded he has no ichus he has no connection to his ancestors does not have the merit of the forefathers but also so it cannot marry a regular jewish woman and he has other degradation in other words the bush is saying that we thank hashem for not being another canadian who is much better than a guy but nevertheless he's a degraded he's low he doesn't have his house he can't marry into the jewish people and he has other inyane shepherds so koenta lavush aved evan kanani but other reshainam learn rabbi huda barayakar who is the time of the rebbe of rashi and his parish shatfilah when we say slayasani aved the kavona is not an evid kanani because really said shiloh sonnygay how many different nuances of are there should we say this country that country they were gone forever how many different meaning there are yeah that's israel we're meeting with english and we're not in evidence because inevitably he's not in his own domain
