Hey Khara, hope you're doing amazing. Today is 2.29 in our Peleod's journey. We begin a new topic called Hagadah here we go. Zu achasmedas. Telling over these types of stories found in the Madrasham, the Gumars, etc. Agada, right? These stories actually are able to help facilitate to eliminate wrongdoing, sins, etc. When the sage, when the wise person, teaches these stories, and afterwards he says Kadesh answers Amin, and then the people listening answers Amin, Yesh Mirabah. It has tremendous power. We teach these stories, these mystical deep stories, and then say Kadish, answer Amen. It has a deep forgiving effect. Meaning it's not like a trick. A person also has to have harata, he also has to think about what he did. He can't just go listening to these deep stories and then think it's gonna all work all work. He has to also do his uh quote unquote his stalos. In addition, when he's listening to the rabbi give the Josha talking about the these stories, he has to listen. With with delightfulness, with love. And he answered Ameny Ishmiraba Bhichavana with intent, like it says in the Gamaran Saita, there's this concept that the world is sustained by the kaddish of Agada. We don't under have to understand how it works. Most of the things in life we don't understand how it works, but we know that there's this concept and it works. That's how Shem uh runs. You know, we okay, we we trust Nasa Vineshma. This explains why many times you'll hear a row right before they say kadish, right? And he's giving a halakhtak, but he'll end off by saying, he says that line. Why is that? That way you're making Mekain's concept of saying kadish on something that's agadah agatah al shahu moshik libersha. Why is it called a agadah? Because it pulls at the heart strings of a person. Like the Pasik says in Daniel, Nuged Vnofaik Min Kadam Kadamai. So that's why Agadah, because it pulls the heart. Um, all the aspects, all the elements of the stories that are told in these midrashim and the gemars, they are meant to be misor to inspire us to have fear and love of Ishem. Say Loman me a goddess. Like it says, this great love that's nothing like it. Every story that's found, there can be a lesson derived from it for to help us. Right, there are a lot of these stories that many of these agata stories that we're like, oh my gosh, I have no idea what it's even talking about. It's hard to even understand on a shot level what it's talking about. It's so like out there and esoteric and so those. We have to know at least at the very least, that hidden in these um in these stories are great, great, deep secrets. So Kvar's hard shimano, shlalomajvasholahgara god, that's why there's this concept, not to tell over these stories to people who are shit. They're gonna understand it on a very push level, and then they're gonna come via sending and say, No, this is not true, this is wrong, this is against science, it's against this, it's against that. We don't want that. It's not about stimming with science, it's not what it's about. It everything stims because this is the Briya Hashem looked in the terror and created uh created the world. These Agata stories that might seem to conflict, it's just there there's deeper levels of understanding that we don't understand. That's the shawl. Because not everyone's gonna be able to understand something from something else, and maybe not everyone's gonna understand the deeper, deeper lessons, but at least to bring out some type of lesson from the stories is very important. I should really end off with Kasha. Okay, fine. Wishing you all the best, and with Jam, we'll see you tomorrow as we continue this topic of Hagadah. See you then.
