What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Hi, this is Davidski. Welcome to the par five. We have an extra bonus this year because VA are usually together and this year they are apart. So, uh we'll speak separately about is a mitzvah in part. It's the mitzvah of hakil where on the sukus aftermita everyone comes to the b mikdash and the melik the king is going to read and it says everybody cameos noshim and says uh the garanian anoshim limo. If the men are coming to learn and the women are coming to hear, why are the babies there? why are the babies there? And it answers no to give reward to those who bring them. So the Yakovish who is known to those of you who learn in yeshiva as Mishbat on Mishbatisa he he's quite quite prolific. He wrote a lot of different he was a little safer on onish but every piece is just is just gem. piece is just is just gem. He asked two questions on this. First of all, since when does a bar create a mitzvah with no purpose other than to give you does not have a mitzvah saying dig a hole and fill it in for absolutely no purpose and I'll give you a scar for it. There's no such a concept. His second question is, if all of the men come and all of the if all of the men come and all of the women come, you know why you bring the baby? Cuz what are you supposed to do with him? Leave him home while everybody goes to Shalim or even if you take him with you, leave him in the in the playben and everybody leaves him there. I would call that somewhat irresponsible. And yes, there are parents who are irresponsible salid night. They were waiting to start diving
