The Essence Of Shavuos talk part 2 - being excired about Torah , Rabbi Yossi Paltiel - 5786

So, here's here's today's class. I'm supposed to talk about chu um I do once a week mime once a week. And Mrs. Gv said to me, you teach the girls truis today. I'll give you in two classes next week for M. That's what's going to happen next week. And the truth of the matter is I don't know what's going to happen next week, but fine. Officially, I have two classes for my next week. We'll see. Our topic is shuis. So I want to start off the conversation by talking about the 12 sukim. Everybody knows the 12 sukim. The reb introduced six and then six more and kazal that children should memorize and share with other children that those other children should also memorize. And the way the 12ukim are structured, it's two from from Kish from Tanakh, two from Mishnner Gamar and two from Tanya. And then again two from Kish, two from Mishna Gamar and then again two from Tanya. It's two two and two times two. It's 12. When the Reb introduced the 12, he explained each one and he explained why he's choosing these. The the essence for those who do not know the essence of the 12 sukim was an idea that the rebba had after pes 1976 and a lot of people say that this was the seeing what was going to happen in antbiot which was an incredibleness has a lot to do with the 12ukb went crazy about for a few months then he stopped talking about it for a few months the couldn't talk about it enough he was consumed with the and people say that the would often see a happening for yidden and he would preempt it with a certain mitzah. Kids should memorize 12 Torah passages. Big deal. And people say that the was completely consumed in it because it helped in the nest that happened in because after that he talked about it very little. We kept saying it you know once the rebut it's here forever but a lot of people connected to this event. The reason the Reb made 12 because the Reba that children should become mashim that children should do that's the theme of it that kids should not just be taught they should teach others. And the Reb said children have two qualities that makes them uniquely suited to be teachers. Number one, they're very friendly, very social, and number two, they're very competitive. When a child knows something his friend doesn't know, it goes to his friend says look I know this and you don't know this. Your friend gets jealous. He needs to know it also or your friend doesn't say but I know something you don't know. So I want to use I I want children to engage with other children with using these two traits of children of very social very friendly and very competitive that kids should be mashia on one another. You come to a child say I know this p but you don't know this p and yeah but I know another p and each one is going to want to know what the other one knows. So the Reb said I need to give the kids material if the kids are going to do and the kids are going to come to other children and encourage them to learn I have to give the children the material that they should memorize and then share that was the this is the story of the 12ukim very simply stated that since the wanted children to do and they should do mim with other children and that should consist of encouraging children to memorize by heart that chose what they should memorize whatever it and and that's the story, right? But the Reb explained these tapes of those. I listened to those tapes because I'm teaching I I I undertook this year to give a series of classes on the 12. I'm holding now by besas. Um, so I I researched it. I studied the I listened to the tapes. Listen to the talk. And a lot of the is talking to little kids about how precious t is. It's, you know, you like your toys. You like your cake. The t you like more and you like it more. You like it more. You like it more. You love the t. He's talking to little kids about loving ta. But when the deb talks to little kids about loving ta, he doesn't give them a choice. He never says, "Do you like ta?" Because most kids say, "No, I like ice cream." The talks about and little kids as if they love ta more than ice cream and more than pizza and more even than sushi. I mean, the greatest pleasure in the world, they love ta more. And the when theb says it, you believe him. He says it so convincingly, but he said, "Wait a minute. Really? I I have kids. They don't love t. They love pizza or they love wasting time playing games." AND THE REB SAYS, "How much more so if you love your games, how much more so you going to love and listening to the Reb talk is very interesting this way because the Reb is a very practical man that was very down to earth but he's also a big sadic. So on the one hand, every idea the Reb introduces is so realistic. On the other hand, his point of view is very spiritual. that ever looks at Jewish children and if he looks the way at Jewish children you can assume that he looks the same way Jewish adults that we love Tyra we love mitzvah we love of course we do now we're going to have 12 that is going to help us love it even more that kind of a aura and when you when you read the han of you listen to the tapes now they're doing all kinds of books on this everyone's into the 12 sukim you see this again and again and again more and more and more clearly why am I giving you this why am I telling this to you now? Because one of the stories of is how much yiden wanted the tyra. I I want to ask you a question girls. I don't know you and you don't have to answer because if you had to answer it' be very uncomfortable because everybody wants to be politically correct and religiously correct andically correct. But ask yourself the question if I came to you and said I have great news for you. In a few days from now, I'm going to give you a toy that's full of rules. You're gonna have to do a bunch of stuff. You're not allowed to do a bunch of stuff. And you're going to be learning your whole life. It's going to teach you how to live your life. And every little detail of your life is going to be controlled by that book. You're going to say, "Yeah, yippd." Or you're going to say, "When came out of and they were told that the reason they come out of is to come to and get the and they counted the days. They counted the days. We count the reason for the mitzvah of is because the midbar counted the days. They counted the days in anticipation. They were excited to receive the excited to receive the ta. What's the tada? What's the ta? What's the ta? What's the t? It's a control book. This do this way. That you got to do the other way. The third thing you're not allowed to do it all. This you better do four times a day. Did only once a month, three times a month, six times a month, once a year, once in a lifetime. A rules ah exactly what we what were we excited about? We were so happy to receive the T maybe we couldn't wait. We were excited to get the T. Once we got the TA, we complained. It says in next week's P actually it's two weeks P is doing twice this year and when the Jews left Hina they made what's no more mitzvah they got 613 mitzvah in a year 630 mitz means a little bit less than two mitzvah per day they stayed at harina another month they had another 50 mitzvah okay 613 is enough but before they were so excited to come to Har I received the question girls is and it's not a question it's really it's a it's it's a window. It's giving you a sense of the story of and more importantly most importantly it's giving you a sense of you tru is shabas Friday's Tuesday right so in three days now it's going to be right and they never made a big deal everybody should go to sh even babies you know what happens outside kabad it really freaks me out you know what happens outside kabad I'll tell you what happens outside kabad in most from communities women go to with their husbands a little bit later. They go to sh listen. They go to sh. Why? They're from people. The one day a year the women don't go to shul is the first day is you know why? Because the men stay up at night and d 6:00 in the morning. They come home at 7:30 after musf. They have a cup of coffee, a tea and a piece of cake. They sleep till noon. They get up and they eat cheesecake. So the women don't go to sh. No, my nanabage cousins indicated to us that the la the least likely time they will be in sh the entire year is a set of interesting it's so interesting the rebba said what are you kidding bring newborns and the reason is is because it's everybody has to be there anyway is in three days we're going to get to okay we're all going to wake up the men are going to have to roll out of bed after staying up all night show up in Schul before the cheesecake after the cheesecake whatever between the blindes the blueberry princess bridges and the strawberry princesses we're go to show and we're supposed to be so happy about it that the greatest thing in the world go ahead >> yeah of course yeah sure not the second day no you know the gumar you know the gum there's a how to celebrate what's the should be or Should yum beem? Are you familiar with this? Are you supposed to on yumpt have enjoyment? Joy that means eat meat, drink wine, sit around and have a lot of fun, a party basically a feast of meat and wine and happiness because it's yum. Or they're supposed to be supposed to sit the whole day in and learn because it's a holy day. It's in the and the rule is you have a choice. It could be you can use for diving and learning. You can use for eating and drinking. It's it's whatever it's I'm not going into the I'm just pointing out. But even according to the opinion who says that on pes and on sukus you have the option of kle lashem you have an option on pes and sukus not to eat a meal according to one opinion just to sit the whole day in and learn and be holy because it's but on you must eat meat and drink wine. Even according to the opinion in the gum that says that you have a choice you can make the whole day eating and drinking and meat and wine and fun or the whole day diving and learning it's a for everybody holds even the opinions who say that you don't have to enjoy you have to enjoy meat and drink wine and have a celebration why give us the and when you at the you're so happy you make a big party and you eat and you drink and you you do you understand what I'm describing so in the let alone according to the greatest thing that ever happened to us as we got from really mish the are prison is it not I'm asking you a question so I want you to know that I gave this the seminary based girls a fancy talk a scholarly talk on this question I don't want to repeat the same talk I'm terrible at repeating speeches Um, but it's it's just interesting to see how TA thinks. TA thinks that the greatest thing that TA ever gave you was the 613 mitzvah. TA thinks they the greatest nation ever gave us all of these rules, this way of life, this and we should be so happy to have it. We should be so happy to have it. And it's fantastic. It's interesting. But I'm going to give you an example. I'll give you a modern day example. And it's also not a simple example. Okay. Um, a lot of you are certainly a percentage of you grew up on. I don't know how you feel about some of you love, some of you hate, but you all have strong opinions about whether you grew up on or didn't grow up on young people growing up. It's always this way. You either think is the coolest idea is so hard that I would never do it. Everybody's got their opinion. I don't think there's a girl in this room who's ambivalent about. You have very strong opinions about now. Whether you go or not, I'll tell you a secret. If the Rebi wants you in his army, he's going to make arrangements and you're going to work for him whether you like it or not. He'll make it work and he'll even make you happy if he needs to. Okay? Schlick has been going on now for 75 years became. You know how hard is very hard is very hard. You know who worried about? Does anybody know who worried about Schlick? There's a there's a correct answer to that question. Huh? >> To get an answer is not the one I'm looking for. >> The rebbitson worried about and she especially worried about you have to understand the wasb's wife and she she knew more than anybody else in the world who the Reb was. She never contradicted the Reb. You know that if the Reb told her that this is yellow, it was yellow literally and she was an extremely intelligent woman. She had her opinions about many things. She would sit at her table and say her opinion and somebody would say to her, you know, the Reb said differently. She would immediately say what the Reb said and you would say to yeah but two minutes ago you said something different and she would say very sternly this is my opinion. If the Reb told her that today is Thursday, it's Thursday. Her bitta was extraordinary and she was not a pushover. It didn't come from a lack of self-identity. Was a great woman and a powerful lady. People who met her said it was like meeting electricity. She was this big. You walked into the house, you felt her presence. You felt that you're little next to her. Not because of what she said or who she was married to, because who she was. She was a powerhouse of a lady. But she was so buckled to the Reba. She never told the no. I mean people say Dr. says he would watch them talk in Russian so he shouldn't understand they would discuss things in his presence and he saw that the rebba used to consult the rebbitson when the rebba wanted to do something he would ask the rebbitson and the reb would argue with the reb she would the would argue ask questions but when the rebba did something the never question it if the sentim then you have to sendim but it didn't say she couldn't worry about it she knew how hard it was and how hard it is she was she was very proud You know, she told Mrs. Kabak had we need to do this. We need to do they did it in Russia. In Russia, people died on the Rebbitson knew that what my man, what the my husband, what the Reb thinks has to happen, has to happen. But it didn't stop worrying. She worried about and is because she knew how hard it is. And it's very hard. It was a lot harder 50 years ago, but it's hard today, too. Um, Mrs. Leia Kazunza, Khan's wife, has an interview in GM where she tells a story. She was a first cousin. Her father, her grand her her mother, her mother and the Reb's father were first cousins. Her mother and the Reb's father were first cousins. She was the Reb's second cousin. one of the closest relatives to the Reb in the world. The Reb, not the not the Rebbitson, the Reb. She spent a lot of time with the Rebbitson. She talked to the Rebson. She walks into the house one day and the Rebbitson says to Mrs. Khan, "Look what the did. The gave her a gift of some sort. I don't know what it was. It was an album of pictures. They sent the Rebbitson that gift that was tasteful and appropriate for the Rebbitson. And she's showing it to Mrs. Khan." And says, "Oh, it's very beautiful." And Mrs. Khan says to the debates, you know, you deserve this. You deserve to get these kinds of gifts. And the debates says to Mrs. Khan, "Me? I'm just a plain lady. Why are the not the waste of time and me? And where did the find the time for it?" So Leia Khan said to the Mushk, the wife, what any woman would say, "Don't you understand? They're all doing it for you. There would be no if not for you and the doing it for you." And then Ebbertson shifted to Russian which is her way of letting her know that she wasn't happy. And she said in Russian Leah I don't speak Russian so I can't say it in Russian but the English translation was you don't know how hard it is. The Rebson worried about and worried about and what was the Reb's attitude? What was the attitude? The best thing that could happen to any person in the world is to become when you go and you go there are stories that happened before I was born where the send children are and their parents want them said you're sending my children away to live who knows where and I'm never going to see them I'm not supposed to be my grandchildren da's number one problem in the world was the number two problem that was the rest of the world but the number one problem is that have to break our barriers to send young couples away from their families who had just come from Russia and gone through shadim in the second world war and now they're sending the kids away to live who knows where and the said you know the story with Mrs. Lipsker from Florida, >> Rabbi Lipkar, Sean Lipska's all like his wife. So she she told the story in an interview. She was 19 years old and she was a real Crown Heights girl, meaning she didn't live in Crown Heights. She loved Crown Heights. She was a part of this culture. But you're talking now the 60s. In other words, 60 years ago, she was born in the 1950s, early 50s. She was young. She married her husband who was an extraordinary young man, very special person, brilliant guy, big time. And they're going, everybody's going. And she was afraid. She was 19. She'd never been away from home in her life. Her whole world was her family. And now she's going to move to who knows where. I mean, Florida is not exactly who knows where, but in 1971, Florida was who knows where. And uh so she she come she she was afraid. So her mother says to her mother was a relative of mine a close relative of mine um says to her name is Kana tell the everything you're feeling. You're afraid tell him her husband said to her don't say a word to the knows best regarding don't open your mouth. So she's now torn. She's so afraid of she's asking herself a very simple question. Can I do it and she's torn and her mother says tell the how you feel and her husband says don't open your mouth. So anyway, she decided to listen to her husband. They went into and the started talking about the and they were just plots. She just they came out without any self-control. What if I can't what if I can't do this? I'm a 19-year-old girl protected and living in a little bubble of insulation and protection. Who am I to go out into the big world change the world? And the Reb gave her a million dollar smile. That smile that the Reb has that he gives from time to time. And the Reb says, "How are you going to do it? I'm going with you. I'm going with you on the so there's no problem." And then the Reb adds do it happily. Why? Because since I'm going to be with you, if you're not going to be happy, it's going to be very hard for me. So her husband used to used to say the Reb said, "I'm going to go on the whether you're happy or sad. But if you're going to be miserable, you're going to make me miserable and I don't like to be miserable." Theb wanted people to go on and be the happiest people in the world, the luckiest people in the world. And you know what? It's actually true. It's complicated, but it's true. When people go on, they're so happy. I mean, you're going to get married. I don't know you and I don't know who you're going to marry. I don't know your background. I don't know your connections. I don't know anything about you. But a certain percentage, you are certainly going to go on. And the hardest thing is where am I going to go? There's no place. The planet is full of I got to find my slice. And you're going to be so happy to be given a place with like six Jews and 100,000 penguins. You know, a beat. I have a place. You go. And you're GOING TO BE SO HAPPY ABOUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU'RE GOING TO SUPPORT your family and how you're going to raise your children and we're going to get kosher food. But have a you have to think about that happiness if you want to understand the yen's happiness when they got the one of the biggest mistakes that people make girls is they associate happiness with easy. What makes me happy? What's easy? And it's not true. What gives me pleasure is easy. What makes me happy is meaningful. If anybody says is not hard, they are a liar. And I think without a question, the hardest part of is children. The hardest part of is children. It's extremely hard. If you go to a community where there's a school, it's you know, it's not so bad, but even then it's hard because the school is not to your liking. It's not necessarily a babisha school. There's not enough kids in each class. Whatever the problem in schools out of town are, it's not nothing is ever simple. But people go to a place of where there's no school at all. And you know, you go online. You know how many kids hate the online school. Some of the kids like it, some of the kids don't like it because you have no friends and virtual friends, electronic friends behind the computer screen. They meet once a year in a camp for like two days. It's very hard. And yet when you go on, you're so happy. You're so happy to be so happy to do the work of you're so happy to work forever. Why? Because that's life. That's life. That's life. Easy isn't meaningful. Easy may be pleasureful, but it's not meaningful. Real happiness does not come from the things that give us pleasure. Real happiness comes from us doing things that are hard. I don't know. I teach bakim, okay? I teach all kinds of including that are what they call middleweight, not heavyweight and not lightweight and not featherweight. Middle weight lightweight, not exactly. Okay, they all work out. They all have big muscles. It's to the point where it's sometimes even obscene and disgusting. Okay, you know how hard it is to get those muscles? It's hundreds of hours of hard work. Hard work. How come they never complain about it? They complain about 2 minutes of sed, but they don't complain about lifting weights. It's not easy. It never gets easy. You enjoy lifting weights. You enjoy working on yourself. You enjoy becoming healthy. You enjoy becoming strong. You enjoy developing muscles. But you know what you're enjoying? You're enjoying the work. It's not easy. It's not simple. A person wants to get muscles. Doesn't want to work hard. Eh, so one day they'll find a pill for that. But the pill is probably going to have side effects, which is another whole everything today is a pill. People work hard and the things that they work hard give them the most pleasure, give them the most meaning. So the Reb is saying when you go on you go at a march of victory, you go with unbelievable. You're happy to go on. You're happy to go on. You're happy to be away from your family to away from your friends, away from your community and do the work. It's very hard. the reward. I mean, there's nothing in the world greater than there's nothing there's you're never more sure that you're doing the right thing that when you're doing what the Reb says. If you want to be sure that you're doing is correct, listen to the Reb. That's all. Listen to the Reb. So, there's joy in it. That's the story of Mada. Hashem gave us a TA with thousands of mitzvah and we said, "Yippi, we we were happy. We counted the days. We were so happy to receive the TA. What were we happy about? Were we happy about the fact that the Aisha was giving us a hard job? So who since when the people celebrate hard jobs? You understand that's when the spoke to little kids when the made the 12ukum this is what he said to little kids. They were talking to little children. And he says to these little kids loves Taida. You love your toys, you love Taida more. You love your leg or you love Hashem more. And he says it with such a simplicity. I I you have to understand whether made the 12. I was 10. I don't want to tell you what I was interested in, but it wasn't the 12ukum. I memorized them, but my head was someplace else. I was a 10year-old. What was the most important thing in for me in my life when I was 10? It wasn't the 12 sukum. I'm gonna tell you the truth. And the reb makes it so simple. There's nothing more precious in your life than the mitzvah. And he talks this way to children. He talks way to the children because for the it's real. And for the it's so real that he wants it should be real for us. In the three days hence he should be excited to come to show and get again. I will say this one more time for points. Okay. Shabuis is in three days heads. You're going to be excited and delighted to go to schul. Even if it's seven, we're going to get four elbows and five insults in foreign language that you don't understand to receive the from of the again. Right. RIGHT. >> RIGHT. NOW YOU GOT to make IT RIGHT. NOW YOU HAVE to make it right. You have to love. Not everybody loves. A lot of people can't stand it for many reasons. And the number one reason they don't like T is because it's hard for you. It's hard for you to learn. It's hard for you to do it. It doesn't let you do whatever you want. Why? For the same reason. It's not easy. But easy doesn't make you happy. Meaningful makes you happy. Yiddish is our identity. And in Yiddish, we find happiness and meaning. So you can eat a big fancy piece of meat on I don't want to start up with the family politics. Yeah. It's not you're enjoying the meat. It's the it's not say you're not enjoying your belly. It's not the pleasure and the joy of your belly. It's the joy and the pleasure of you can eat meat then you're going to drink wine. Okay. The girls are not going to drink wine but you're going to eat meat and get a new outfit or new toys or whatever it is that's age appropriate. Um, and you're gonna be happy that you got the T. Maybe you're gonna be happy that you got the TA. This girl's is not a statement. It's a challenge. It's a challenge. It's a challenge to each person. It's a challenge to every Jew to be happy about having the TA, to be happy about learning the TA, to be happy about doing the TA, and be happy about getting the TA again. Okay? So you have been warned. You have been provoked. Somebody said to you, "Do you like the TA?" And you're not allowed to say no. But you're also not allowed to lie. So what do you got to do? You have to make yourself say yes and mean it. Okay. No comments. Next subject, right? What is the inidus? How does change mat versus the mat beforeus the niglu? What's the difference between the and anybody know the difference? >> Huh? >> Like the change the world. >> What changed in our in our celebration? What changed in our experience of it? How the yen without kasidus experience mata and how the yen with kasidus experience ma I'm going to give you a very simple answer okay today a lot of Jews stay up all night fus right right this business of staying up all night is is sourced in the z stayed up all night and learn the all made a big deal out of staying up all night choice. A thousand years ago, girls, people slept for us. They didn't stay up all night. The staying up all night choice is 5 or 600 years old, maximum 700 years old. And Miss Nagum didn't do it. Did it because it's a kabala thing staying up all night. Now everybody stays up all night and you go to certain places to have a night a marathon of the best speakers in the world come and talk on the incredible topics. Shu night is like a big deal. Everyone is busy with speeches and lectures and right and what do we do? We read tick. Have you ever read tick? I haven't read tick. You're a tick. You're a tick. It is the most boring thing in the world. Tick is absolutely pleasureless. You know why? You read a few and shift to a few at the beginning of end of you read just enough to know to read. You skim each and you skim each you skim a little bit of whatever it is. You do the edges of everything. He learned very little and you read it. So a lot of people say tick is boring. I go to a When I get asked to speak the night of I say the girls should go to sleep. Yeah. But they want to step and learn. So you want to stay up? Let them read tick like the guys. They'll be sleeping like tick sh is prof. It's very hard. It's very hard to do. There's certain pieces that are interesting. You read the whole you read the whole of you read certain things completely but you're reading a few from the beginning a few from the end every Mishna every the first Mishna the last Mishna it's very very very u I don't it's incomplete so you have two worlds two people staying up all night chu one person is learning and is learning that's interesting that's stimulating that's meaningful that's uplifting and the other guy is reading tikk And I was once invited to go someplace shu. I travel a little bit but I don't like to go away go away from shw. I took my sons with me. They were like I don't know eight and 10 or something. They were very little. And they spent shuis in this place. I gave classes a whole night. A whole night. My two boys read the entire ticket. The entire ticket. had to finish. No one I mean my speeches well I don't know what I said in my speeches but the people were blown away two little kids by themselves nobody was saying ticket no one was saying ticket was classes little say clay kalak they must have fallen asleep at some point they read the whole ticket I had to do chicken I don't know when I did it when I finished I managed to get to the ticket but I was g that's what I was there for to give talks >> eight and 10 they were very little the cutest thing in that trip which I'll never forget as long as I live I spoke a lot every chance they got they put me to speak so I was making a speech by a kidish and my 8-year-old says Ah, it's enough. Like, stop talking. It was so funny and he was so on point. He was right. I was going on for long, but my little kids, but they the both of them said, they never seen anybody say the whole thing. Little kids. It's so boring. It's so much more fun to go to a learn about or about the there's so many great topics. There's no limit to topics in TA but tick tick is profoundly boring. So why do we do it? Why do we do it? Now the real answer to that question is the whole business of staying up night is a cabalistic idea. You would never know it today because like everything else in the world people decide that they made it up. saying staying up the night was is in zo and the mubim which we're on five 600 years ago did it with their it wasn't for everybody capitalist stayed up all night in everybody stays up all night sure you stay up all night today it's notidic anymore if you're from Jew and you're an earnest man you like to learn or woman you stay up all night but we're still saying tick they're learning going to lectures if you listen to interesting topics Why? Why? So the spoke about it. The spoke about the fact that we say take and read words. The said that has two parts. The ideas and the words. The ideas are interesting. The ideas are dynamic. The ideas you can learn. The ideas you can understand. And ideas you can argue about. The words are fixed. Especially the words of the Kish, the words of the Nvi, the words of the Tum and in some way the words of the Mishnay, which is what we read, are precise. They're fixed words. You stay up the night before M and don't learn concepts. You celebrate the holiness of the words of the letter because if you stay up all night and you're learning and you're enjoying understanding the ideas that it's going to you're going to get is going to be a reflection of your understanding. If you stay up all night and you read holy words, holy letters with the understanding that these are God's words and I'm not mixing my mind in the that you're going to get the next day from the is going to be the holy hashem's like you have brothers and you'll have sons who wet right you took your brother to school and he licked the olive bay honey you know what I'm talking about it's the same principle the kid is reading he's reading olive bay he's licking honey off letters you're teaching the child that understanding the ideas is wonderful. The truth, the holiness is in the words themselves. This girls is the difference between and is we're celebrating not our understanding of the holiness of a nonassid. You're you're celebrating the understanding of now it's not like don't care to understand but cared to focus on a deeper dimension. The deeper dimension is the holiness of the Abish which is written into the T or to say what I just said in different words when Hashem came down on the mountain. But you know that story right? You know that story came down the mountain he spoke to us right girls two questions. Undeniable proof that Hashem is a misnugget. >> A misnugget. Undeniable proof. No will refute this proof. Undeniable proof that Hashem is a misnugget. Anybody? >> He forced the disease. >> I didn't say that. You said it. He came on time to the sh and he was there before his students and he waited for them to show up. Undeniable proof that Hashem is undeniable proof. No miss nag will refute this. Undeniable proof that Hashem is anybody come on. He made one sh in his entire career. One sh didn't say a single kadesh. There's not one original idea. It's not one. Why? More than half are. And the few that aren't we got in moto. So you have proof that is which means proof that is schizophrenic, right? He likes a little bit of everybody. He likes everybody completely. What's my point? Hashem comes down on a mountain. He's giving us the T. He can't say anything original. Everything he says has to be old. Every single thing he says has to be old. Asks this question. Them asked this question. And my gave a very beautiful answer. The answer that the g is because when hashem gave us the tyra, he didn't give us the tyra. The tyra we got from the hashem taught with the 40 days after brought it down from the mountain and he taught it to us and the safet and so on. Hashem gave us himself. When I sold you my TA, I sold you myself. Oh, I have to stop now. You know, when I teach this class, I usually have till 12:30. I forgot. Give me a minute. Give me I'll let you go. I I thought I have to 12:30. I didn't calculate my I didn't calculate my time. I forgot that when I do mime, we finish 12:30. It's one of the punishment to the guys who learn m for the girls who learn. But I know you didn't all sign. Give me 60 seconds. I'm going to finish is getting Hashem. The toyra you get later. This is why we say ticket. We read boring Tyra in quotes because we want the that we learn to be pure. It shouldn't be ours. There should be his. The letters of are sacred and they don't change. The ideas are constantly changing. They're growing. They're expanding. They're being deepened. They're being divided up. They're being unified and so on. But the words and the letters are constant. This is the holiness of and then after you got to learn the and I want to wish you all I'm assuming there's no classes on Thursday. Am I correct?
