If you are interested, please please reach out. If you're not yet on our WhatsApp group, feel free to join us and we post uh Zashem, the daily shear. All right, all the best. Let's jump right in. So you say nice of la rich vla bhala. Suppose I should start to translate. It's a great evil for a person to be a glutton and a drunkard, somebody who just eats an excessive amount, and somebody who drinks excessively. It destroys a person, it wa it leaves him away from his, not leaves him away, but again, he he loses out on his money and on his days and on his time here in this world. He spends his day working and his night eating and drinking in abundance. In so doing, he adds strength to the other side, the dark side. And because of an overindulgence in physical acts of eating and drinking, his mind becomes unclear. His actions become deteriorated and he permits that which is forbidden. Now, mind you, to eat and drink can be one of the most spiritual experiences of our lives. It's very possible. In fact, Rabin Achman pointed out that some people think that you learn, sorry, some people think that you eat in order to give you kach to learn. But a higher level, says Rabin Achman, is to learn in order to know how to eat. So eating is mamishna vaida, but we're talking about a Zol of Saga. It's someone who takes advantage and his mom is over-stuffing, over-indulging, momish to the nth degree. Um, and that's what we're discussing here, a very extreme example where food and drink is not good. Okay. Eating food, besides for physically speaking, it it adds chumrias to the person, right? You you weigh more after you eat. It's just a matzias. And it makes a person not just uh um heavy physically, but it makes a person spiritually heavy, fatigued, right? It gives a let me just turn this off. It makes a person um in the realm of fatigue spiritually, it it takes out the energy from him, and he's gonna come to neglecting time-bound mitras like filibitsiwa or the like. Kuss of Mariah, the Barbanel teaches with Savit's parent shemar's alashani, this is what he writes, Omru Bitanadva, most people die, the ain't call briya readlessly de tsar, most people suffer pain. When Elamitecha Maza from an abundance of eating and drinking and rejoicing and the vanities of this world. Who is somebody who listens to these words of Eliya Navi, Zakhulata Velayika, Libosh Nima Sirkan? And he does not um tear his heart apart into twelve pieces, the emas be mishdos who does reshus machumed, and right, he doesn't now look at these things in great disgust. Uh right, somebody who's gonna really pay attention to these words from the he's gonna take it to heart, literally, take it to heart, rip it up into twelve pieces, okay. Not literally, but you're talking about to make a difference. And we take nav shakh in ma'am and deviostav, it's a shek of nav shot. Let's say a person really believes that what that which Ely Navi said is true, but he doesn't believe it. He has he lies to himself. Who passivis so this guy's just a fool? He's causing um pain to his soul, tariff to go for nav shit, he's causing pain to his body and his nafesh. If a person doesn't even believe what Eliya Navi said, then that's just a sickness. The Anoshi Anushmoid Gam Al Zahi's gonna be punished. Let's say some people will say, hey, this is just the way of the world. This is what people do eat and drink and get married. The kha share, shamano ken raino baleashir ab mushashku, right? We find that people have wealth and they eat and drink a lot and they get drunk, co for a tavalapuma, and they have the food coming out of their mouth, custod tavalapuma, they have they always have a cup ready to go. It's not chodush, it's not shabbas, I mean it's not being done for the sake of a mitzah. You know what you should tell them? Go tell them, come let's see what their end is gonna be. It's not good. Besides for the punishment in Alamhaba, which we can't even see. They're losing out on this world, and that's the point. They're losing out on this world in Alamhaza, it's there because their life is being uh stuffed away and seeped away. This is true, without any doubt, as has been made known by Hazal, all of whose words are affirmed and established. Will Imrit Hashem continue on Sunday with this topic of Zolo of Sove. With that, wishing you a good Shabbos. Shabbas is a special time of sugoth, eating and drinking in the proper way. It sets the tone where we resmirus and in in and divritira, where we're framing what we're doing and eating and drinking, and it becomes a mitzvah. It's alawite. You know, it's a good time to learn about this topic. That way we should be Shabbos Yiddin all week long. Wishing you all the best. Have a good Shabbos.
