Thank you for an introduction. Yeah, we
had some very good uh times together in
the morning. Kyle, the night
kyle. I have my notes over here, but
it's a little dark. So, I was going to
speak for 45 minutes, but now I can't
read my notes. So, uh you'll be out of
here in a few minutes.
I had the
privilege and
opportunity to
participate in an unbelievable event
this past Sunday night in
Philadelphia north of 25,000 yeden
joined
together to raise the flag of Kavatra.
It's something that I'll never
forget how let's even say closer to
30,000 saying
roaring
saying to honor the
Tory something that's a personal
takeaway for me and I believe for many
others
was the
aus of the two parts of
Clalistro. If you were the lo de the
people that learn from the it was a lake
with yeshiva event more than 8,000 talid
yeshiva came and also also the
supporters of tyra the other part the
supporters of
tyra this reminds me of a vart in this
week's para the sapornu one of the
explains the following in this week's
paral
begins
the should be lit. How do we have the
how much how many how many torches how
many fires are there the mono? So you
see Kaneka we have eight with a shamas
in the B mikdash there was six six
anamas how was it how was it in the bas
mikdash there was three on each side
with a shamas in the middle each side
the three nai were pointing toward the
middle says the supporter of the
following you see the
manura is
mamas is fat Tory. You know what the
Gammorra says? If somebody wants to
become smart when he dins, he should
face towards the right, which means he
should face towards where the is. And if
a person wants to become wealthy, he
should face towards where the is the
which was the food which is parosa.
So explains to Sophorna the following
that the mana had two parts had the
right three candles the three nas and
the left three the the right three says
the saporner
represents the part of cliol that's
learning pyra those are the three right
nay the left three nairo
represent the part of clalius
that support the Tyra that enable that
make it possible for those to learn
Tyra says
the it's not just two parts the right
the learning the learners of Tyra and
the left the people that support Tyra
says the all focus to the middle mayor
it's all one there has to be an aus
working together
thera together. Not only the but also
the ones that
[Music]
support
the wasif in the gimmel when sad gimmel
90 years ago now it's piml in
1933 says you know why the mana had to
be made from one solid piece Why could
it? It was very hard. Why couldn't it be
made bunch of pieces and you put it
together, you melt it together, says
the being that the three rights, the
learning and the supporters of Torah are
not just two parts of Clius role, it has
to be united like one piece like one to
be able to have the Torah. Very
important lesson. and you'll see where
I'm heading with where I'm going to but
before where I'm going to where I'm
right now this is like the lesson that
was this Sunday
night and you had the people that
support so that's important just for
starters to understand that the clust
together
this has the it's not just these two
parts one without the other says the
soponu it's an aus it's one
unit. On the note of all of Klas being
one unit, we have the Tarak mitzvah, the
mitzvah. Is it possible for one person
to be makim all of the tarag
mitzvah? It's not possible. Why not? If
you're a coim, you cannot be
mimit. And if you're you cannot be mim
different. So how is one person all of
mitzvah? So many of the
answer that we have
is together. I left out before in
theuab says when got the
said means that it has to be one unit.
So for mitzvah mitzvah, you know how you
can be mai and
call if we have a together and I do some
mitzvah and you do some mitzvah together
we're able to
call. So we have so far
for yak we need all of the ro together
to be able to have the toyra. The same
thing as with mitzvah as well. You have
to have all everybody
together. You know what's very
interesting in paras
midbar just a few parishes ago we
find the concept of the de golum the
flags. Every shaven had their flag. They
had their location. Everyone had their
place, their their place where they
were. You go to shine
shul everybody. It's all types.
Everybody comes here. But in Midbar,
everyone had their own place. It wasn't
everyone mixed around. Everyone had
their own place where they were.
Furthermore, not only they had their own
place, they had their flag which the
flag had its own color, its own
character. It represented for that part
that what they were working on. So
the question
is that's the opposite
of imagine every has their own
their own part. They do their thing
their is the opposite of a
We just said
now we need one unit to be able to
mitus.
So I'm asking you, isn't it, isn't this
the opposite of Akis? Everyone has their
community and their
flag explains of Kamitki the following.
And he says it's true that everybody
everybody had their unique mid and what
they worked on but only because there
was a mishk in the
middle and that united them were they
able to have their own mid and their own
part. meaning to say is that if not for
the Mishka in the middle the the the
focal point the focal point that brings
them together if not for that it
wouldn't be
possible to have a just like the you had
the nami that brought them
[Music]
Nether. What we spoke so far is all
about the general aas being united
together for
tora for
mitzvah. I would like to take a moment
and zero in
focus on each place for itself. Each
moid each
yeshiva we have to understand that
there's a very powerful concept
of that's very
important. You
see the Mishna says it of
us. How do you know that even 10 that 10
people that
learn they even less? And then the
Mishna
says that even one person that
learns says the Mishna apost we know
that
the however
says even though a person learns on an
island he learns by
himself
says What you what we a person needs
when he speaks about the three parts to
be able to have the Tory part number
three says is that it's not just enough
to learn with somebody else and to be
but like the says that a person has to
connect believe connect the person has
to be connected to somebody else to
bring out this point to illustrate
it we know that
between and
the nif the gar says
why they were not respectful of course
on that
level the marshall says what do you mean
they weren't respectful they weren't
nice to each other they what does it
mean they weren't respectful says the
marsh they weren't respectful when it
came to learning what does it mean being
respectful when it comes to learning
being respectful means
means well I'll just explain for us what
it doesn't mean the Gmorrah says in
Sanhedrin and it's
brought that two enemies are now let us
sit on a bezdon
together why can't they sit on a bezdon
together why
not what's the
problem explains the you know why they
can't sit on a bez
together because this that they do not
get along
this. They do not get along. They're not
going to pass and right. Why not?
Because they're not going to be focused
on the right. They're going to be
focused how to argue with the other
person says
to when a person
learns and the yeshiva you learn with
each
other of course you learn but there's a
certain concept of aas of being
connected
leave my herish here in this
yeshiva in general being here inside the
warmth the ais really the so beautiful
here around the fire the
akas the such an energy of a over here
akas in general I've been here a few
times time seeing the the learning the
but it doesn't just mean learning you
see the the the unbelievable
connection that yes
have and of course this goes without
saying that it's credited to the
rashiva for putting in so much
kus a new program a new sh what else
could we enhance
Aim going
to this is that empowers and puts in
this like we began in the beginning the
supporter says this week's para thera
it's not just to the right of these
people that learn and to the left these
people that support it has to be one
unit like the says the mana had to be
made from one piece
from one
piece. That's how we're
all we're not just stiffened people.
Everyone does their own thing. We all
work
together.
We're and that's the concept. It's true
that everybody has their avoid what they
work on and how they're growing their
level. Like we see in the in the in the
midbar, every shaver had their own flag.
The flag that they had was to show that
they're different. Everyone had every of
the everyone had their own feel when
they went through the yam clustrol.
There was 12 tracks. There are different
tracks in clustrol. But that doesn't
mean that it takes away from the actus
the actus and learning the act and
midas my bra to this yeshiva to continue
to grow to
flourish to strengthen inra and midas
and everybody should be mats have a
wonderful shabas
amen. D.
