that's it okay good evening we shall Begin Again a new series of lectures this week the taste of the talmud the night I chose a text from the talmud GE on page hey and it's going to talk about our inclinations Etc Etc the good inclination the bad inclination we're going to explore this uh this phenomenon that human beings have and perhaps we will be able to discuss it not only philosophically but also psychologically based on what our sages say in the gemara but first we have to read the gemara foreign so we understand that there was a great Rabbi by the name foreign was the famous Great Sage who was the talmid of Hanan and also his friend his colleague Javier the talmud refers to reshlakish as a talmud khavero of rabiyohanan who doesn't nourish lakish there is not almost not one page in the talmud appears without the debates the disputes between while rabio Hanan is the revered teacher of the people of Israel in the last I mean 1900 years ago and more in the beginning of his career he was ahead of Bandits that's the meaning of lakish but because of a certain story that we will not tell you now he became acquainted with rabiokanan who inspired him enough to go and use his genius because really observed him and he saw that in him there is a tremendous potential and he said to him if you come and join me learning Torah I will give you my sister the point the whole story began because thought that when he saw Rabbi in the bathing was extremely handsome when he was young he was very very handsome so he thought in the beginning he said that so he plunged towards him thinking that he is a woman because he was a bandit
