00:00:01.641 --> 00:00:20.109
Some refer to this iconic Torah giant as Ravnaftali, others simply as Rabbi Trupt, but most of us refer to him, based on his great work, hidushi HaGranat, the great G'oin Ravnaftali Trupt, as a Kharina Lev'racha.

00:00:20.109 --> 00:00:26.693
He was a Rav in Rosh Hashiva, in the Chobetz Chayim's Yashiva in Radin for many years.

00:00:26.693 --> 00:00:40.594
On the note to many, he was Ichavrussa with Rav Yuruchim Lev'vvvvvvvvvvvv in Kelm for ten years where they finished all of Talmud-Bavli and all of Shulchan-Aruch with a lot of the commentaries.

00:00:40.594 --> 00:00:51.661
And Ravnaftali said Rav Yuruchim about his Chavrussa As someone who teaches us the Torah isn't something that's impartial, it's something that's personal.

00:00:51.661 --> 00:01:00.646
And Ravnaftali was the king at delivering creative ideas in Torah to be able to understand clarity in the Gemara.

00:01:00.646 --> 00:01:18.567
His internal fortitude and drive on malec in Hasmada until we're learning continues to inspire many individuals And in one iconic episode Rav Yuruchim describes how they were learning the Chavrussa in Kelm and they were up to a tough part of a sugya.

00:01:18.567 --> 00:01:31.932
And Ravnaftali was someone who would acquire a plan in the specific Gemara, the topic, and follow that medieval commentator, that Rishon's plan, and weave it through the whole topic.

00:01:31.932 --> 00:01:38.522
He was famous to be able to learn like the Rajba one way and to be able to take every step in the Ritva one way and the Ramam in another way.

00:01:38.802 --> 00:01:43.743
And at one specific occasion, Rav Yuruchim said how, where the Rajba learned this step?

00:01:43.743 --> 00:02:12.324
to which Ravnaftali responded the Rajba has to answer at this step, according to his reasoning, like this And if Yuruchim held back the safer Harajba not telling its Chavrussa what the answer, what the Rajba really said, and he said, looking inside, that's not what the Rajba said, and Ravnaftali went back to the drawing board and he came out with a different answer, then it has to be like this The Rajba needs to be learning like this step, according to what he and how he's learning the topic.

00:02:12.324 --> 00:02:15.972
And Yuruchim said, no, that's not the answer.

00:02:15.972 --> 00:02:25.145
And then the Hedushe HaGranat, the Radhenra Shashiva, came back with a third Mahalikha, third answer for how the Rajba must be learning.

00:02:26.620 --> 00:02:29.752
So then the great reveal of Yuruchim exposed the truth.

00:02:29.752 --> 00:02:32.843
He turned the safer around and he showed his Sainli Chavrussa.

00:02:32.843 --> 00:02:39.191
Look, three answers in the Rajba Yashloymar Oid, yashloymar Oid, yashloymar.

00:02:39.191 --> 00:02:41.157
Ravnaftali was Machavin.

00:02:41.157 --> 00:02:54.143
He thought of all of the three answers because when a person buys into Torah learning and they have clarity and they're searching for truth and they understand each one of the Rishonim's path in the Soogyah and you get into their heads.

00:02:54.143 --> 00:03:00.883
The sweetness of Torah learning, the clarity of Torah learning makes a person want even more.
