in the Torah economist tournament Rabinovich Aravena everything that was given over to Moses in these gates of wisdom I call Nick the Biturbo fish our music actavis it's either written explicitly I'm like we said or it's hinted to in the words I become a tree eyes it can also be hinted to in the numerical values of the words each letter has a value so a word has a numerical value I have its ERISA ICS or the way that the letters are written big soon as kill Hassan kill Hassan when they're written as is supposed to be a mesh Donna switch through us and sometimes letters change their larger letters smaller letters could go now the Foo Fighters out ku- with Zulu Sun there are other traditions which we've lost since the time the run button if it cuts the ICS because frame also you find that our letters some letters have little markings on top of the letters which look like little crowns so there's hints in the crowns two concepts that are deep and and awesome which are no it's more assisted shell I'm Rachel Amara much like an appropriate pushing some of ICS Moses came up to the heavens the government office tells us some Testament baseba 29b when he got up there to heaven so he saw that they were tying crowns onto the letters come early a little mass so he asked God he saw that God was doing this he said what is this for my like I said alliteration for him he liked Elam

is something which has learned over to Moses at Sinai so Shaun was showing him that it's something that the depth of which is going to be to be understood later on through him yeah resume a little in spite of Ella me Pat I'll Pat I'd mush me Cena these are things that can only be understood through the tradition all the way back to Moses at Sinai well we have a little bit of time left we'll read a little bit more in the introduction you're not gonna get to read the whole thing but it's just beautiful so it's so important to understand as we go into safe abrasions as we begin the Torah again what is the Torah what is the depth of it means that our bashira sheer rabid whisky Oh safer taggi here'll ahem we find reference to a book which was written about all of the crowns on the letters I say if I say you do and what's a circle Adam this is a book which is found and everyone has this book you first you look kind of often but tired of Italian we come basing tells you how many letters have these crowns how many vases olive Charolais Aslam restless our Italian trabajas it tells you what is taught it teaches us what we learned out from each of these letters in a shelf just for a supersaver as a beginner I said yeah but life is given a tie a nice one the fact that we have this amazing book the fact that it's so amazing is not because of the crowds themselves ellaby the awesome appear of shame it's because we can understand the depth of what these crowns mean so this Rama mohkumat many many secrets and deep ideas the show-me measure sure shame Robin on receive my Elohim is
