Shalom and welcome back to our paras. We find that when the bikurim is bringing his bikur and saying the necessary to say as he brings the one of the things he says is that I've not forgotten says rashi what does it mean that he's not forgotten I've not forgotten to go ahead and make the over is necessary ask and the name of the and multiple other places in where do we find any connection between and the idea of making a the says that I've not forgotten. How does Rashi know? I've not forgotten means that I've not forsaken the that's necessary to make prior to being what's the connection between between forgetting and making a main way to do a mitzvah is not just to go ahead and to do the mitzvah to just do it in a way by row do it in robotic fashion without going ahead and doing it with the main way to do a mitzvah is when a person is filled with and a person's filled with passion when he's doing the mitzvah. A person's excited about doing the mitzvah. A person's joyous over doing the mitzvah. That is the way that a person is supposed to doing a mitzvah. But says this is it's not enough just at the time of the mitzvah to be excited about doing the mitzvah because that's going to be difficult to bring up the feelings just at the moment of doing the mitzvah that I'm excited about doing the mitzvah. Rather says this the more a person is desiring throughout the day to go ahead and do the mitzvah, the easier it will be for him to be able to do the mitzvah in a way which is proper. When a person doesn't just fall into the mitzvah, a person goes in and prepares himself properly for the mitzvah. A person is longing and yearning and waiting to do the mitzvah. That itself allows a person that when they come to actually perform the mitzvah, they do it in a way of a simple example. A person's going ahead and blow and going to hear the mitzvah of the to hear the r says this. It's not enough just to hear the with the level of like the very famously brought down the felt tremendous during it's not enough. A person has to go out and be mistic yearn to be able to be in the mitzvah of hearing the in the days preceding rash. And the more that a person goes in is the more that a person is yearning to be mitzvah the more when the mitzvah comes to his hand a person will be able to be m in a way of and it's like this with every single mitzvah. There's a for the mitzvah. There's a preparation for the mitzvah which is not only the practical preparation that's necessary have to go ahead and buy the material necessary to be able to be the mitzvah but it means the internal the internal excitement the internal anticipation that a person has to be able to go ahead the more that a person is the more that a person is yearning to be the mitzvah says then he'll be able to do it in a way which is proper says this is what the is prior to doing a mitzvah And every every mitzvah that we do that contains within it a the is there not just simply to go ahead and to remind ourselves what we're doing but the braha is there to show our excitement to show that we're preparing ourselves to show that we want and are excited to go ahead and every single one of us say is to do whatever mitzvah we're going to do to show the to show the love and excitement that we have and therefore even prior to going ahead and doing the mitzvah there's a for the mitzvah the for the mitzvah says is the leading up to it and the way that that comes out practically is through the and therefore according to every time a person is going to go ahead and do a mitzvah obviously there should be a preparation externally and a preparation internally for the mitzvah an excitement and a longing and anticipation to go out and be in the mitzvah and ultimately the person is going ahead and making that braha prior to doing the mitzvah this is the feeling that a person is supposed to have I'm excited And the way that I'm going to go ahead and express my excitement is through the that I'm going to make thinking the for giving me the opportunity to be able to go ahead and be able to mad us with the mitzvah that he commanded us. And therefore I show my excitement and I express my desire to do the mitzvah by going ahead and making the prior to the mitzvah. Says this is what the is but says this is not just the anticipation leading up to the mitzvah. When a person does the mitzvah properly then the mitzvah remains with the person the whole day. brings down the which says that the mitzvah says this doesn't just mean the mitzvah like the was discussing mitzvah and the mitzvah on a general basis they were able to but says every mitzvah that you do if you're this individual mitzvah if you're excited about the next ding that you're going to the next opportunity you have to be able to go ahead if you're excited about the next mitzvah that you're going to do. Not only are you going to be able to do the mitzvah, but that imprint from the mitzvah is going to last with a person the whole day. Why? Because a person is being to do that mitzvah to do it in a way is there with a person forever. And therefore, according to there's three things that take place every time a person does a mitzvah. There's the anticipation. There's the preparation, the which ultimately culminates with the brah that a person makes prior to going ahead and doing the mitzvah. But it's the excitement. It's the longing. It's the yearning that a person has prior to doing the mitzvah. The excitement that a person feels the night before he's going to go ahead and shake. The night before he's going to go ahead and sit in the sukah. The night before he's going to hear. The night before he's going to do a shak and put on whatever mitzvah a person has in front of him. the excitement that a person has prior to doing the mitzvah that then leads a person to go ahead and to do the mitzvah and to do the mitzvah to do the mitzvah and when you do it that way then it's than anything that has to it remains forever and because I'm aim it's going to last not just at the time that I'm doing the mitzvah but the mitzvah has the ability to be matzah and to be me the whole day it has the ability to stick with me and not just the whole day like this says When the mitzvah is done with joy, when there's anticipation for the mitzvah, which allows me to do the mitzvah with joy, then the mitzvah is able to stay the whole day. Says, now it's obvious and how we're able to understand what the connection is between doesn't just mean the itself means what is the coming from? The as this teaches us comes from the excitement and the longing and the yearning that a person has to do the mitzvah. And therefore means that I didn't forget about the mitzvah prior to being the mitzvah. I was thinking and I was yearning and I was talking and being excited about the mitzvah prior to doing the mitzvah. I didn't forget. I didn't forget about the mitzvah before. And I didn't either forget about it after because the rashima the imprint of that mitzvah that I did remained with me the whole day. And therefore understood that is not just forgetting to go ahead and take off my shaki means did you forget about mscus prior to taking them off and did you forget about them after you took them off. Was it just something that happened in one moment in time or was this something that your day revolved around? They're able to say my day is looking forward to and after the imprint of stays with me for the rest of my life. Is it something that's just here in a here in a vacuum or is it something which there's an anticipation there's an excitement there's there's a longing to be mitz prior which culminates like we said in the bra and therefore it ends up lasting forever and therefore as I understood means that I didn't forget to make the braha not just the physical not just the words of the braha but I didn't forget about going ahead and being excited about the mitzvah that I'm doing prior to it and therefore that allowed me to not forget about it before doing the mitzvah and it also led to me remembering about the mitzvah even long after I already finished completing the physical act of the mitzvah. This is how this teaches us what how a person is supposed to do every mitzvah. Excitement, anticipation, longing and yearning to do the mitzvah culminating in the before the mitzvah and then ultimately allowing the light of the mitzvah to be able to last with me forever because it's something that is something that I did something that I did and therefore it's able to last forever. The mitzvah that I've done remain with me forever because I'm excited prior. I'm excited when I'm doing them. And therefore, the excitement and the joy that I had when I did the mitzvah last with me forever should help us to be able to mitzvah properly and the proper not to forget about the mitzvah and to be thinking about them and preparing for them and getting excited for the to get excited for the for the eating and sleeping in the to get excited for these mitzvah. were able to do that. They were able to make the the were able to make these able to make them properly and therefore be able to take these and be able to take these mitzvah that we do with us forever. Have a great chabas.
