okay good morning
today's learning should be literally
his wife's grandfather yutsuk meier then
eliot
chamberlain associate for ali kinder
nine o'clock obviously
this very fine gentleman over here
remind me stephen
uh he had a baby boy of course he should
grow up to be the title
it was like a half a year ago but okay
yeah
um okay the gemara tells us
one who is accustomed to lighting royce
will have children who are tamid
that's certainly
everybody's hope they have bottom tamiya
in fact the rambam writes that one of
the purposes of children of pura vu the
ramam says that once kavono and having
children should be
israel
you know you never know
yeah any you know you could have
somebody he's not the the biggest sadik
the bus the biggest
and then uh he has a kid who's a victim
so a person's uh kavanaugh should be
this is the
gemara now what kind of narrows is the
umar talking about
some fashion saying shabbos but uh
mostly it's referring to narcanica and
ravois here's the question the question
is and this is a question that i don't
know that uh i would ever have the guts
to ask this question because the gemara
gives the haptaka
normally we say
you could take it to the bank but
nevertheless we have over here a very
rare safer
the name of this safer is countris soyd
hadlakas nerois kanika
do you have a sheet punchers soyd
hadlakas nero is kaneka a pamphlet
of the secret of lighting the nearest of
hanukkah written by rabbit been arriving
now reviews look when arriving is called
ravitrak sagi nahar that is because
ravitrak the son of the arrived never
saw anything in his life he was born
blind okay now you have to know islam
it's good to know that when we talk
about the ravid there are three rivets
there are three different privates in
history the first private is ravi the
first was born in toledo spain in 1110
and he was um he died he was murdered
akira shashem the year 1180. he was in
toledo then there's rival the second rav
ramban isaac of narbona he was in france
he lived from 11 10 to 1179
neither of those rivals are the arrival
that we usually refer to then there's
ravid the third rabbit the third is the
balhasagos on the rambam so if you open
up a rambam and you see little footnotes
on the rambam
you'll see that there's arrive in this
rabbitz clock was the son of the rivet
the third the raven on the side of the
rambam
now he was a tremendous mukbal in fact
the kabbalah we have today he was one of
the
bali messiah of kabbalah he was a rebbe
the khida brings down in number three
brings down he was
of the ramban in kabbalah we know the
ramban very often writes divere kabbalah
where did he get it from he didn't have
the zayar his rebbe was ezra and rav
real who are talmidim of rabitskhak
saginahar and he wrote something called
contrast now conscious means a little
pamphlet
now how do you get a hold of the safer
as far as i know there's only one place
in the world you can get ahold of the
safer in the safer has the coron of
rafner
the pakistak
before another or shivaji berlin so he
wrote you know
beautiful
so they wrote when he passed away they
wrote uh like a commemorative journal
about uhner in there in the back is
published this little countries it's
called country's site halakha's nearest
hanukkah and he asks a very uh
brave question and basically the
question is
yeah everybody who likes their hanukkah
is gonna have kids
so so what are we doing wrong no the
gemara says
everybody is lighting their narrow
hanukkah
so okay you'll say you know the people
lighted correctly
but let's take a look at the way he
expresses the question look at number
and not everyone has children
not even most people
says the rabies
the sages are true and their words are
true
yes everybody likes nero's hanukkah
but
not everybody
is careful to light it mama
but if you're careful to light the
menorah with all the protem in other
words you write it bismani
okay different shito is what the rights
man is
i'll tell you some of the protein that
not everybody is aware of first of all
the beer allah skins
means like this this i don't think most
people are czar in this
halacois mitzvah means
not just putting the menorah is not the
midst of lighting is the mitzvah
when you light that candle so very often
what people do as soon as it catches on
okay on to the next one
no it could be your night you'd say to
be our local pastor
means you need to keep the candle on the
wick until rove of the wick that is
going to burn is burning in other words
not enough that it catches on and then
it spreads on its own you have to
literally hold it on not until it
spreads all the way but right
so that's like a few extra seconds
there's a guy to be aware of that since
we pass can have local it's a mitzvah
you have to do the my side luck and that
that it should spread on its own but
there are many many pratim that one
should be aware of but says the um the
rabbitzhak the son of the arrived is a
great mekobol um
who's careful in lighting
he will acquire and achieve with the
kayak of this mitzvah with
okay that's what he says in other words
not
oh we don't know what the gemara means
igemara doesn't really mean it no the
gemara means it that if you light near
hanukkah properly you will have children
i we don't see people having it the
answer is there must be something
lacking in the performance
so it comes the virulent ocean
i told you the story when i moved into
my house
so my house was empty mamash i'm saying
like there are no walls you know no
kitchen nothing the only thing my house
had
was boxes of rabiro como ocean and
hanukkah
there were 10 maybe three boxes
there was no refrigerator there was no
oven
they were the walls weren't there some
of the ceilings were there there were
boxes
because
i got the house from him his
father-in-law sponsored that safer and
my house became the storehouse of the
rabiroku ocean on hanukkah so
i
became very connected to that safer
so he he raises following questions
there you go right so
so he asked come on
i mean this man has that
not only is everyone lighting the
menorah but kamad there are a lot of
people who are lighting at kawaku also
i mean there are a lot of people that
know that
saying you know a guy who who sat in and
learned for many years
he knows us and he's lying the menorah
and yet there's still not this great
proliferation of tamil
you know
there aren't that many
so what what what are we doing wrong in
other words it's not enough to say that
there must be some lacking in the
performance of the mitzvah because
there's so many people who know all the
protein and armadactic and all the
products in other words it you go to the
store and you buy the ready-made
manure that has enough oil on it to last
for seven hours i mean like what more do
you need to do remember i was once
walking in queens at 7 45 a.m the guys
in the know are still burning
the guy it wasn't a and it wasn't a
miracle the guy had these massive cops
and uh
so what exactly are we doing wrong okay
let's look at number five and then we'll
get into the alumnus of the of the sugya
there's a statement over here from the
altar of kam from the safer moser he
writes a startling statement take a look
at number five it says the altar of kam
now the after kill was this
that we saw cilantro
he lived in a generation of israel he
says like this
i and everyone like me in my age meaning
rabbis
we never in our life fulfill the myths
of hanukkah
no
what's man talking about why didn't he
fulfill this hanukkah you know you would
say it's you know speak for yourself but
he's not he's speaking for all the
israel he knows
we have never fulfilled the mitzvah
let's see the rambam
and we're about to get into the alumnus
over here
the rambam says something about hanukkah
that he doesn't say about any other
mitzvah
the rambam says
has to be careful on it
the ramen doesn't say about filling it's
mitzvah
the mitzvah doesn't say about talisman
he doesn't say about shabbos
he doesn't say by any of the 630
mitsubishi and it's not because the
drought bonnie doesn't say about miguel
s esther the only missile in the entire
ramadan says
so the question is
in america we say big deal what exactly
is the big deal about mithsas
in fact the gemara says that even if a
person is poor he should sell his
clothing
to buy and to purchase hanukkah wait a
second i don't have to sell my clothing
to my fill in i don't have to sell my
clothing to buy shabbos meals when it
comes to shabbos meals we say
you don't have to sell your clothing to
purchase any mitzvah
there might be one or two other
exceptions for example dalit koi says
but
what is the big deal about nirkhanika
why is it such a big deal okay so let's
get into the alumnus over here they go
there one line of gemara that's all you
need to know people get allergic to
gemara you only have to know a few words
you should be able to tolerate this okay
nikomaru says
number the famous gemara the tana
rabbanon on the 25th day of chaos kiss
live our eight days of hanukkah we don't
eulogize we don't fast the ivana mente
the heka their
prevailed
they searched and they only found one
pack that was it that was sealed with
the signal coin gado there's only enough
oil to last for one day and it lasted
for eight days
look at this gomorrah wishano ahares the
next year kavam the assam they were
kaiveya and they made yamim toivim
yamdev the halal
what is hanukkah hanukkah
is it
look at rashi
i blew it up so you should see this rash
is a gold mine you have to milk every
word of rashi
rash is bothered by akasha what does
yamtif mean
you're not a duma but you're aladdin
says
which is very national like you see like
our that the skittish that we're
discussing that we're developing
that we say halal on hanukkah not for
the miracle we say hello hanukkah
because it's a yum tiff
i said why are you allowed to do melaka
they were only kaveh as a yomtiv to say
hello
legabe what is
that you say hello
okay
so that's the first part of hanukkah in
other words let's just let's let's
summer let's capsulize it
chanaka's two things according to the
gemara what are the two things
right look in the gemara uh kavanagh
there is no other hello khati hala is
not a halal you're not you'd say hello
when you say hello by the way you're
also not you'd say hello if you miss one
word
halal chalet means you have to say every
word okay
and so now here's the million dollar
question
the gemara says besides hallel you have
to do haida
what's haida
says rashi villoimer
to thank hashem by saying alanis
in other words what's kanaka saying
hello and saying al-anism
that's the entire hanukkah
jelly donuts and and and latkes and
dreidels and
hanukkah girls
that's not those are all good things you
know
however
what menorah that's so that's a good
question the gemara didn't say one word
about the menorah
there's a so hold on to that question
keep that going in your back pocket i
thought that's why you didn't wear that
sweatshirt today
okay okay
but
the gemara doesn't say a word about
menorah so here first let's make one
diyokonrashi rashi says hallel we don't
need any perusing what halal is but
haida we need a pay rush in what way do
we fulfill the kriyasu rashi says
so it comes out like this there's a
safer countrys
it's a beautiful countries on a
contemporary halacha from small felder
small felder is one of the the poiskom
in lakewood today you should know that
name it's one of the pike's gonna have
one of the big places in america small
felder if you're jewish you're orthodox
jew in america you've got to know you
know who the big guns you know rav
shmuel felder
he um so they put put out from him uh
his father was a refunder in toronto i
think he was the tommen of ramosha he
wrote something called maya de yeshurun
okay so he points out uh
nefla
let me tell you what the hell alright
let's see a guy diamond's there in the
morning he goes someone says ah i
who cares you know i don't have to go
back so big that guy don't need them
okay it's true you don't have to go back
the only thing is he blew hanukkah
why because what's hanukkah hallo
and alanis in other words if you forget
alanis sim you're right you don't have
to go back hopefully you'll be making
hanukkah tomorrow but today or at least
in chakras you blew the entire hanukkah
in other words you know people say i
would ho hanukkah pasta and have one
jelly doughnut like they feel khalisha
sadas right it's like it's like uh
how could it be so
if you miss
him
you're not doing and in other words
let's say a person didn't like the
menorah he would feel like okay i didn't
do hanukkah today but according to the
gemara hanukkah's hallel and hoidaw
one alanis out of the entire family no
no i'm just pointing out that al-anism
even though you don't have to go back
is a critical fulfillment of the takana
of hanukkah so why don't you
why don't you go back because uh it
could be their other fearless of the day
and also
when whenever you go back you're you're
in jeopardy that means you're making a
lot of brachial vatoras
so hanukkah is only jumped of drab on
might may not be strong enough to allow
you to repeat this which is another
eighteen loisas right a broccoli about
telecoin to the ramen is the day rice
the whole hanukkah is only dragon
in other words you couldn't make a
broccoli to like the menorah romano is
only through about and
allah might be more severe than that but
that's just pointing out that shitas
rashi is what is
saying hello and
is saying al-anism just pointing out the
critical aspect of alanisim okay now
let's take a look at the ram this is the
key of the shirt look at number twelve
the rambam and
paragumo
mario say please look at these words
carefully
this is the rambam sort of formulating
from the gemara
now that itself is half of a fella what
do you mean
there's a mitzvah
you know
you can't just be flippant about the
word simcha even shabbos
there's no mitzvah simhan shabbas
there's a mitzvah negan champions
there's a mix of kawaii
there's a myth of simcha yamtif and
simcha demands basar it demands yayan
what's the ram i'm talking about there's
a myth of simphon hanukkah we could talk
about that for a long time but we're not
let's continue in the round though
and halal
um
and we light the candles by arab in the
evening
at the open entrances of the houses of
yamim elu these days
are ah sir behespen and tinus
whoa
so the rambam says what's hanukkah
hal and lighting the menorah
the ramam seemed to have left something
out
what'd the ramen leave out
haida
the gomorrah says hallelujah
the rambam says that the gomorrah says
and the rambam says halal in my lincoln
arrows he left that haida and even more
than that he left that alanis him he
added
he added menorah he took whoa look what
happened to alanis
leaves out al-anism you know that and
he'll chanukah the ramen doesn't write a
word about alanis
oh okay okay okay
by the way we're if you wanted just to
what the ramen hoes you don't have to
say on any sin if you look in
look at number eleven the ramam and
he'll
says
and on shabbos you say it in moses as
well in other words the rambam and
he talks about
and he talks about st
and he talks about the stuff as you make
this right the rambam says and you throw
it and you say
in other words
if i were to ask you is al-anisim an
integral part of purim
no
it's not one of the fears of purim the
queen of purim is magillah the feast of
purim is
sudha ism
why do you have
so you can't daven without mentioning
what the day is so it's not a purim
it's a tv
and the ram seems to say the same thing
for alanis hanukkah not like rashi rashi
taicha's what does the word
in the gemara mean rashi taichu's means
but the rambam can't be tai ching hoidaw
al-anisim because the ram does even say
that you have to say
he only mentions it in
so look at number thirteen this comes
from the say from mishnah's
misha sabas was written by ravitzalo
jolte
tremendous going tremendous going
it's on i think one of the the best
interviews
why did the ramam omit the word haidaf
[Applause]
and
the ra one thing we see is the rambam
does not hold like rashi
rashi taichu's
him right
if the rambam types toy does
then he would have said the halacha of
saying alanis
kanika but the fact that the rama only
says it in
and that's mashma that the rambam holds
that al-anism is the davaning dikkadin
it's not a it's not a hanukkah
first of all we have to how does the ram
understand the gemara when the rat when
the gemara says
how does the ramam interpret the words
he's not interpreting haida means
because then he would have put alanis
it wouldn't make a major an afghan it
would it's an afghan meaning in
understanding what is al-anism when i
say al-anisim i think i'm being mekaim
the indian of haida according to rashi
according to the rambam you're not i'm
not making anything
so we have to understand how the rambam
interprets hoydah
and it might be tied well with what you
saw said that uh the rambam doesn't say
anything about menorah about menorah
so firstly we asked why doesn't the ram
say anything about
um
the rambam left out hoda and the gemara
left out manoira
why did the rama not write hoida
why did the rama not write hoda
so marv say
putting this all together if i
it's sort of a jigsaw puzzle
i mean in other words the gemara leaves
out lighting the menorah
and the rambam leaves out
haida
so the obvious interpretation would then
be
that nobody left out anything
in other words the gomorrah leaves out
lighting the menorah which is half of a
fella the rambam leaves out hoida which
is half liver fella
you have to say
that the ram disagrees with rashi
rashi learns the way you fulfill haida
is by saying alanis
the rambam holds the haida of chanaka is
the hadlakkasa
interpreting the word haida as malik
neroys in other words the lighting of
the candles is the fulfillment of the
haida not like rashi rashi learns the
fulfillment of haida is saying alanis
the rambam learns the fulfillment of the
haidas lighting the candle in other
words it's not a regular nice mitzvah
lula is
what
the bracha is like uh it's not even
integral if you you're you'd say if you
don't make the bracha
the bracha is
but even without the brah in other words
it's a different
mitzvah than every other myself so
normally my submission is god said to do
this so i do this
this is an act of expression of
gratitude the way we express gratitude
to the revelation is by light the
lighting of the candle is not a regular
mice and it's one it is the expression
of haida it is the alanis and what
that's personally that that is the
thanks the way you express your
gratitude by lighting the candles in
other words the gemara that seem to have
left out the menorah is not the gemara
is saying
and the kumar is referring to
and the rama who seems to have left that
didn't he's saying that the lighting of
the menorah is is the haida in fact it's
very much mavura in the ramam
look back at number six
the rambam says
that mitzvahs
is a very beloved mitzvah why
that sarik adam lizard person has to be
careful in it kiday
diya hanes in order to make the miracle
known
and to add to the praise of hashem the
haidoyoloi and gratitude to him the
ramam is saying that the
is the expression of gratitude
and
in other words it's different than every
other might submits when you pick up a
lulav
you're doing it because
yes
you could also be
in that i want to show gratitude to the
ubanisham but it's not that the picking
up the lulav is a mitzvah is an
expression of gratitude according to the
rambam the al-anisim is the secondary
way to express gratitude on hanukkah the
main way to express gratitude
the lighting of the north is the
expression of gratitude
so if you look at number 18
there's a one of the reshinum the pisgah
riaz
he says
they made eight days
you ready
is worth a million dollars
um
alone
not ida
he says that's what we say in the in the
uh panera's hello
why do we like them
hides
so then he says he says an amazing thing
is let's say a person's coming home
very late at night
when everyone's sleeping
well let's see if he's not coming home
at all you're going to be out on the
road
so what happened what do you do
your wife your wife flights for you
fine
so that's
but says
but if the guy fine that you're you'd
say the hadlock and you're going to the
bracha
but how you said
if you didn't then have feelings of ida
you missed the
time of the mitzvah
and then he says another another
and what if you like the menorah and you
didn't know this torah
that it's a different mister than every
other mitzvah it's not stop oh i'm lying
tomorrow it's so nice our family's
together and everyone's around sitting
around the the holiday menorah very nice
but you didn't realize that i'm lighting
the menorah as an expression of
gratitude that it's the alhanism of
hanukkah
says
i want to show you the words so you know
i'm not making this up this is number
20.
in the second paragraph
here let's look in the second paragraph
my
so again
that's
i think uh i think we're all somewhat
guilty of that yeah we do the mid so
it's a beautiful mid song
but if we don't realize we have to know
you have to be educated you have to know
what the mitzvah is if a person lights
the menorah
again somebody's lying them a nerf for
him
let's say you lit it at the right time
you know he's saying
and you don't think to understand
missed though the main part of the
headlock is nakanika
i we know that if you lane the megillah
and you don't really understand what
you're doing here i'd say
that's because they're the myths to say
the story so i said the story the
mitzvah of the hanukkah is not to like
the menira
it's to express gratitude so if you
didn't even know i'm supposed to be
expressing gratitude when you're
dominaria you missed the boat
no
but you have to do the mitzvah it's not
the mitzvah the mitzvah is expressing
gratitude
um
i'll give you a marshall let's say it's
your wife's birthday
and you hand her a card
that's basically
a card
that's folded in half
like this
and it says on it
nothing
she said what are you talking
there's a mitzvah mitzvah to give you a
piece of paper
on your birthday
but it's not a happy birthday card what
are you suganah
there's no mitzvah to take a fire and to
light a wick that's not the mitzvah the
myth is to express gratitude so yes the
way we express grass is by lighting the
fight but if you're not even aware of
what you're doing you didn't do anything
now now the i just want to point out oh
yeah
we're still only there
wait to have my dog which is the whole
toxic breeze to begin with
so now you want to know the philosophy
yeah
so now you're asking philosophy what's
up shot that daf gone hanukkah there in
such a mitzvah that is more than any
other mitzvah i don't know
good kasha not only having the shirt you
also slugged it up it's pretty good
all right
call it a day that's it
we'll get to it we'll get to it
and i'm using harsh language words are
cheap just to say praise is nothing but
you doing in her life so you're doing in
action
to pick up a lolo
and say the broncos one thing but it's
the shaking which is reaction the the
the distinction we're making though is
that other mitzvots are just a mitzvah
if a person picked up a lulav and he
didn't think anything he's going to say
here
the mitzvah is expressing gratitude
i'll give you a better i'll give you
another muscle
let's say somebody did you a favor
and so i have to say thank you
let let's say i don't know even know
what thank you means so i asked somebody
what should i do when he doesn't so
this guy he randomly picks up a piece of
paper that says a t and he hands it to
the guy
and the guy doesn't even know he's
saying thank you he didn't
he didn't do it it's not
i just want to point out now zaman says
if you lit them in and you didn't think
that you're expressing gratitude you're
missing the icker i just want to point
out the mishnasi yavitz says explicitly
not like he says not
like you were you didn't go to the sheer
so you don't know like one added
dimension of narcan
we hope you know this year
that's really very people saying let's
see 12 of us well yeah but then there
they have these chats that whatever i
say over here
they're not going to come out with that
point saying maybe why they have their
thoughts i thought
they could sing in their little
afterwards and even if they don't know
it at least they see
yeah right right
i always want to point out one second
he says
so so then the mission of savings wants
to wants to know well
why does the gemara just say hi
and not saying
because what the gemara is trying to say
is the the point is not lighting the
narcanica the gemara basically wants to
give the overarching concept behind
nero's hanukkah
and the ram is just telling you how you
fulfill it in other words if i'm
hanukkah a person says god
good job
right you're also not yours yeah you
can't just ex you can't just fulfill it
how you want to though you have to
fulfill it the way that was look at
number 22 for a moment
he says
uh
and then he says
i just said at the end of this paragraph
so according to this
your typical halaqaz nero is if it was
not aware that it's
a fundamentally different mitzvah than
any other mitzvah not it's like it's on
a lower level himachal says
he mummy says
so it comes with your
and he says now we have uh another a
deeper understanding of the words of
saginaw but saginaw wanted to know look
everybody lights the monorah and
everyone's doing it at the right time
and everyone's putting in enough oil and
everyone has nice wicks and everyone's
lighting mahajam and i'm hajima
namahajam and yet yet yet you know
we're not always uh zoyka to the results
that everybody's yearning for says
ocean that's because first of all we
have to understand the main tactilist of
hadlock
is it is an expression of gratitude to
the vanislam and that's something that
is lacking that's something first of all
we're not aware and even if we're aware
the hargasha of gratitude is something
very lacking from our heart the the
uh
that there are basically three reasons
in this world that people are not happy
first thing is he says because most of
us focus on what we want and not on what
we have
that's human nature but that's why in
other words yeah i have x amount of
dollars but i i don't have double that
so whether you're making
a hundred dollars a year a hundred
thousand dollars a year 100 million
dollars a year if you're always i want
to make 200 million so you're not gonna
that's one reason the other reason he
says and this is very much negan is that
everybody feels a sense of entitlement
yeah of course my heart should be i mean
i deserve it and of course my lungs
should function i deserve it so who
walks down the street feeling you know
today's a great day i could walk and it
doesn't hurt or my head doesn't hurt or
today's a great day i could breathe
today's a great day because i have a
house that has steam in it or i have a
table to sit down or have a piece of
bread
no we walk around miserable because of
something that some something we think
we don't have
but
the the topless of
like daniel pointed out the topless of
uh this world
is
gratitude to ibanezham there's a
very important
talks about the mitzvah
and uh the mitsubi kurim is a mitzvah
that is done with more pomp and ceremony
than any other mitzvah
what also was forbidden
yeah right and
and you're allowed to be maybe vacay
because
in fact one of the one of the only
mentions of chanukah and the mishnah is
in spike it says
in fact
many say that the real reason why we say
conical yeah but it's not that hanukkah
you know it's the wrong hanukkah
he says it's because of the parachute
now it's done with tremendous pomp and
ceremony basically you would gather your
fruits and if you found a fruit that
ripened you tie a red string around it
you'd bring it to the public marketplace
and everyone would bring the frozen
pokemons and they would stream sleep in
the streets until everyone was ready to
go to to go they would take the the oxen
they would cover the horns in gold
they would put wreaths around the axes
ahead
as they're passing through
the streets of ushalayam everybody would
stop and pay homage to the procession of
bikuram there is no there is no ritual
in judaism like
in fact hazal even tell us beratious
bara kim hakalish barco created the
world for racist that's racist
and the question is why is the mitsubi
kurim the reason why hashem created the
world
well says the
you know i hashem created the world
all the midst of all the missiles we
have to do it's all wonderful we come to
davening we put on tablets we put on to
fill in and we dive in and we shuckle
and we do this we give sadaka
but when we walk down the street do we
walk down the street and say you're
bonus i'm grateful to you that i could
see
we punish them i'm grateful to you that
i could swallow
i'm grateful to you that my knees bend
reminds me i'm grateful to you that i
have fingers i could pick up my
toothbrush in the morning and i could
put on my socks do we walk around that
way or no we feel entitled and any
slight little thing that we don't have
in life we're upset about
but the purpose of breast
is gratitude to hashem and the mitsubi
kurim which was
designated as a more than lula vanessa
more than any other mitzvah it's revenge
from you gave me a little bit of fruit
i'm expressing my gratitude by bringing
it to shine that's the purpose of ryan
who says that
the famous words of the ramban right
of all the round bands
the ramban at the end of parashat's boy
ramban at the end of parashat's boy look
at number 26
says
you know
we have small missiles we have big
midsoles
why do khazal tell us that a person
should be saw here in a small midsole
like a big mitzvah says ramban
mitzvah
you should be careful in a small midsole
like a big mitzvah
they're all beloved
right so let's talk about a small myth
so give me an example of miso you think
is a small mitzvah
i don't know
it's a very easy mitzvah to do
think of a mitzvah make a bracha on
fruit
they'll make a rock on a food
why are they why is a small mitzvah
beloved
listen to the ramban you know why
because any small mitzvah you do shabba
hosha adam
henley like because when you do a small
mitzvah you're acknowledging hashem
hamid's voice the purpose of all the
mitzvahs is
is to believe in hashem the noida a love
and thank him that he created us in
other words every mitzvah that you do
you put on your talos your kavanaugh
should be rebound so i'm doing your will
and i'm acknowledging i believe in you
and i thank you for creating me
and when you put on your tv and you say
i acknowledge that you exist and i thank
you for creating me
that's the kavona of mitzvos
right look he says
voice that's the purpose of all the
men's voice the person of all the missus
is not to be from or not to be cool and
not to look good and not to i don't know
what
the purpose of the myth is just to
believe in hashem and thank him thank
you that i'm alive
why are we compartmentalizing
in other words
the overarching purpose of all the myths
doesn't mean well okay so i don't have
to shake a little vanessa i don't have
to put on just say thank you
he's a part of it
why is it
why is it more than anything else
because
i'll tell you why
because it's the only mitzvah
that the purpose
it's not you see tallest filling
specifically
okay it's a it's a good hurrah
i'll say something else i'll i'll
address that but look at the word milk's
words
the purpose of kavanagh
is
i love to thank him
that's why god created the world she's
there's no other reason for creation
the aim kale el yoin
there's nothing else that god wants from
downstairs
shayed
that we should know him vyoy daley like
come and thank him you get into your car
say we want some thank you i have a car
you go home thank you i have a hammer
thank you
thank you have sex
all day long that's what you should be
doing
don't worry it might put you in a good
mood it won't hurt you
it's not so bad to be happy in life
what nothing it won't hurt you it won't
make you sick
it's dangerous don't be afraid of it
that's the purpose of creation personal
creation is to have gratitude to hashem
says
a very beautiful thought now why does
the rambam say that
is mitzvah
so basically based on the alumnus that
we're saying is that the gemara says
that hanukkah is
yeah but according to the roundarama mo
mitsuhida why because he's not lighting
the menorah as an expression of haida
so ribrikum says like this all other
mitzvahs
the purpose of the mitzvah directly is
not it's not an expression of haida
haida is just like the overarching
concept of why in other words
putting on tone is not an expression of
idaho it's a mitzvah that god told me to
do and when i do it i'm showing i
believe in him
and i'm having a feeling of gratitude
but the wrapping of the filling is not
the expression of the hydra it's a
mitzvah that i do because god told me to
do it
really the only mitzvah we have and okay
you're making a good arabicum also every
time you make a broccoli
what make a breakfast of pears you go
brooke is a shakha
it's a praise in other words something
you have to do in order to get this
but the myth of narcanica
the mitzvahnika
is in a way
the one targeted mitzvah that we have to
makayam the indian of idah
and that's why if you don't have any
clothing you got to sell your clothing
to the kindness
because the ramban says never forget
these words of the ramban
just look at these words cut it out blow
it up put it on your cup on your your
bumper sticker
put in the dashboard
it says the cavonas
voice the carbona of all mitzvos
is to believe in hashem the noida a love
and to thank
we're able to engender and tell your
family tell your kids tell them when
you're lighting the menorah you're that
