Be Tachan Faliyev Sheer 1723, Yoyim Rishain Bishabis, Parshiyas Vyakapakuday. We are discussing the level of Smecha, which means complete support of Akadashbarachu. Our person feels as if the Rebanish Lailam is supporting him completely. He's calm, he's collected, he's not nervous. Akadashbarachu is taking care of him, he doesn't have to rely on himself or on anybody else. There's a very interesting Gymari in Shabbist of Samakh Beizam at Beiz, and I think if we understand what this Gymari is saying, it's broad and shokhanakh. It will give us a perspective of how a person should live and the kind of brokha that a person receives when he puts his support into Akadashbarachu. The Gymari says in Shabbist of Samakh Beizam at Beizam of Chisdha says that he washed his hands Natilus Yadayim with a lot of water.
And he said that he received Moli Khafni Tivusa. He received the handfuls of brokha, of Teva from the Rebanish Lama of Chisdha was very, very wealthy. And he attributed his wealth to the fact that he washed his hands with a lot of water. When Natilus Yadayim, he washed his hands with a lot of water and it's broad and shokhanakh, Semen Kuf Nun Khes, if Yud, the shokhanakh brings the Gymari, which is something that's not so common, but the shokhanakh brings the Gymari and quotes of Chisdha that a person who washes his hands with a lot of water will have a lot of wealth. And it's interesting why that should be, how does that operate? What kind of school is this? It sounds like it's even more than a school, it sounds like it actually really is an outcome. When a person washes Natilus Yadayim for bread, he's talking about for bread, then he becomes wealthy. What's the reason for it? And perhaps the perspective of this will help us understand how Semen Kuf Nun Khes, how a person can put his support in the Rebanish Lama.
We know there's a halacha you have to wash your hands before you eat bread. And our reasons for it, the Gymari says reasons for it, why a person has to wash his hands before he eats bread. But let's suggest, perhaps, a more Hashqafic reason. Bread represents the food of a person. Bread is the main staple, the main food that a person needs to survive. And if a person doesn't wash a whole week, but bread represents his Mizzainus, his Parnosa. That's why the Mishdabruz says, out of a person benches properly with Kavanaugh, he'll always have Parnosa. When a person eats, it's very possible that a person can make the mistake and think that he himself earned the food that he's eating. And therefore, we wash our hands. Our hands represent our Masea Dayam, our activities, our business, what we do with our hands.
We wash our hands, so to speak, to separate the actions of our hands before we eat. This has nothing to do with our hands. Our hands did not earn this piece of bread. We will bezage him, continue this concept.
