CHAZAQ Shiur with Rav Avraham Schorr on "Everyone Can Improve Thru the Honey Sweet Torah"

take the few minutes that we have try to understand we come today's day and age with all trials and tribulations of all that we face in the world today where do we take the strengths to make the right choice when it comes to let us address one question why was the Torah given in a mid for what reason did pick to give the Tor in a place that was Barren place that there was no water place that nothing grew for what reason maybe we can address this and understand why there a that tells us what the midbar looked like it says in the midb there was three things snakes fiery serpents and scorpions it's talking in gash and it's talking in there were dangers of snakes scorpions serpents there were dangerous for a person but tell us that it doesn't only mean the danger of the serpents and the snakes it means that the greatest the greatest that ever existed was there in that midbar picked a place with the greatest the greatest that a person can imagine that will ever be everybody knows the symbolizes that brought every all the evil into this world the the the the burns all the us if a person is middle of prayer and it comes he has to stop so dangerous it is so great is the of tell us that the is the Tom of the Tom of being called to everything so what did do told us I know that there'll come times that you'll be in gut I know that there will be times that there'll be of the world and you'll pick up your hands and say of course gave the T you know when he gave the Tor in a world that was primitive in a world that didn't have the of today in a world that didn't have the of today but maybe in a world like today we can't keep the Tor in we can't do everything that the Torah tells us because there's so much problems in the world so much in the world fac by the pr in the world by the technology of the world it bombards us with everything from all Sid with so much Tom maybe a little bit less maybe we don't have to do the said I will give the Tor in the midb where is the where is where is the where is all the Tom of the world and over here I will show you that over here I will give you the Torah to teach you no matter where you will be in the world no matter where you will get to in the world no matter what place you will be in the world in the future no matter what kind of T will come down in the world you should know I gave you the Tora in those in those circumstances that you should be able to overcome that's why pick theid it says in the Tora that when we stood in front of tells us what it looked like it says in the P that besides everything that there was there was an aai was full of smoke a is smoke aan is more than smoke it's a sick smoke why was there smoke and the smoke Rose like the smoke that rises from the smoke of a furnace what is this Asam what is this Asam what was the of this Asam I will propose what the of this was is the three that there were in the midb the three that exist till the time when the M will come and clear the world of gave the and gave us the to overcome it to overcome it and to overcome every that there is in the world so when we come to to t and we think then we think what does it mean to us in today's day and age what does it mean to us when we come in such a world that we live in today it means that we have to realize that theora gives us the ability to overcome every trial and every tribulation how theuk tells us in says you know the is is sweeter than honey how do they know that was sweeter than honey how do you know that sweeter than honey wanted we should know that what did he give us before he gave us the man what does it say on the man the man at had a taste of H the sweetest honey and after you tasted that man and it tasted like the sweetest honey in the world he gave us the Tor and show us it's sweeter than honey but what do I have than that that it's sweeter than honey what does that teach me that sweeter than honey honey you know what it teaches us let me tell you what the tells us what teaches us there's an brought in a person goes and has a beehive and he takes out the honey takes out the honey he wants to go eat the honey and suddenly he sees in the honey pieces of bee a bee is a sh a be not allowed to eat am I allowed to eat that honey or am I not allowed to eat that honey yes the rash says that you could eat it why can you eat it cuz the sweetness of the hone changes the bee to become mut the power of the sweetness of the honey takes that piece of be that was left over which you're not allowed to eat and now you're suddenly allowed to eat it cu the sweetness changes it that's what some hold we don't could be we don't hold like that but there are that tell us that the fact is true but that honey changes something and changes from me every single person the comes and tells him you're going to become better you know what you did that day and that day you can't change you can't change if you go ask the world outside you go ask a psychiatrist a psychologist can a person change no there's no hope for a person to change we could help him we could make him cope change that's what he is the is what does it mean tells us when a person learns and he engrosses himself into the Tora he's surrounded by he surrounded by H so all that's within him that's suddenly changes to it changes him it makes him into a different person it changes his midot it Chang changes his actions it changes his it changes everything that he wants cuz that's what the of is is like honey so when gave us the Tor he didn't just tell us to listen to the Torah he gave us the weapons how to fight let me tell you over something that the writes something that every single one of us has to believe if one was to have live in a country that the king of the country or the dictator of the country or the president of the country will send people into the war to fight an enemy and not give them weapons take teenagers and tell them go out and fight the war and you don't have weapons with what to fight what would we call such a dictator what would we call such a president the worst names how can you take a teenager and put him up against an enemy that's loaded with ammunition without any ammunition to fight we say every single day who is a so what do we we going to tell what are we going to say oh in 2013 we can't cope we can't cope what does it mean we can't cope he took out sent it down to this world without ammunition you can't fight you're going to be you're going to that he sent sh to the world without ammunition is that possible so it must be that he gave us the ammunition it must be he gave us the ammunition because if he didn't give us the ammunition he's notom so we have the to fight everything that faces us but that's not enough I want to try to explain to you why we our generation is going to be to the I don't understand it 200 years ago they Liv 500 years ago they lived and the didn't come and for us Little People the G is going to come why what's and what is the G going to come why is the G going to come to us to our generation to our children's generation why what we going to be let us look at the at the of and ask two questions when was we why if we start P we're eating mat the culmination of the seven weeks we're going to take something that's the opposite of what we started with we end up with we bring with why why with a second question I'll ask you is that even there are those that hold that every y I don't have to eat and drink drink everybody says everybody says you have to eat and drink why is the most the highest why do I have to eat and drink for the answer to this question is very simple the reason why we are to have the tor why gave us the Tor is for a very simple reason because we have because we have that's why we to have the Tor we were to have the Tor only because we have only because we face not that is the reason we have this to get the tor and because we have that only because of that we take which symbolizes the we take which symbolizes the and we use on this to show that only because there's in the world that's why we are to the because there's on this world because this world and that's why we to the it come we we have a goof we are people made up of a goof we eat we drink we have to go after all our necessities of the Goof and indulge in the Goof and that's why we only because we have a only because we have a goof only because we have that's why we to the that is the reason we get the T so let us think for a minute the Tora was given because they had and they were that's why we was the if our generation faces that never existed in the world what do I mean that never existed in the world in all generations if a person didn't have it was known to somebody else so he had something that was able to protect him what was that bu Shame Shame every person has shame so shame protected him not to do today we have two things strikes against us two strikes against us two strikes which never existed in the world one we live in a world that has no shame whatsoever we live in a street that tells us go dress the way you want walk what you want do what you want in the street don't be ashamed of anybody act like an animal in the street and don't have any Bush that's the world we live in and we live in a world that you can go down in a basement where nobody will see you and you'll forget that there's a k that's watching you and travel the worldwide way and go into all the Tom of the world without any bu so we have two strikes against us from one side the buha was taken away from us and that takes away the ability to overcome because there bu the second things against us that we can do without any because nobody will know about it at least we think nobody will know about it so we live in a very hard world and still in this hard world we are overcoming that something that no generation ever did could you imagine what we are going to get for that could you imagine what we are going to be for that that we have that when the whole street says don't give it don't worry about how you go dressed and we still walk the streets with even if somebody scream at you you're a neb you don't care you go there on the whole street and you show yourself as a don't care that people say you don't have to have bu anymore you realize that the whole was that we should have it says in the tells us what does it mean you shouldn't have a tells us the ultimate not to have is and we stick with our bu in a world which doesn't have bu we overcome the of living doing things which nobody knows about so you know what we are going to be first we are in this year because we have because we have such a great so for this year for this that we Face we get a special for that we understand why we will be why will be we will be to have the why cuz we're facing things that we don't even understand what it means we don't even understand to what we have to overcome the to overcome the trials and tribulations of Our Generation that has from our generation even though it's a few even even though it's not everybody but that one person that's go and doesn't bow down to the street and doesn't say that I'm going to join the street that screams join me come with me I have so much to offer you take the you say I don't want I don't need what you have I don't want what you have I don't need what you offer me you're trying to offer me all the beauty of the world I don't need it keep it for yourself will be to see with our own eyes bring and what we be able to tell we didn't bow down we withheld we withheld the we overcame the you know what it means let me tell you let me tell you what means not let me tell you a story from today a girl that's a teacher in a school in an orthodox School pre 1A her students are between 4 years old and 5 years old student was sleeping a whole day one day two days three days but you know that a 4-year-old doesn't know what to say and what not to say so the teacher called over the student and asked her why you sleep by day the student said when my mommy goes to sleep I go down to the kitchen I take out her telephone from the Packa book and I watch movies the whole night a 4 and a half year old child I'm not telling you a goodma I can tell you who the name of the child I can tell you the name of the school so the mother they called the mother the mother said it's a lie cuz there a password so the principal said I'll tell you the password the daughter told you the password and she told the mother the password the mother was shocked 4 and a half year old you realize the world we're living in do you realize in the of the world we're living in do you realize what means that you can't say he my child not a 4 and a half year old knows already what goes on in the world and this kind of world we still have teenagers that spit at the world that say no to the world that don't want the world and don't need the that all that are today because we realize that the T was given with the with the with and we'll be go on all of that and we'll take the power to be able to take what we have from our parents from our grandparents from all the we the Tor again with a new conviction and overcome our faults and overcome our trials and overcome our tribulations
