Festival of Shavuot is Judgement Day for The World with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] warm welcome to the ibn abate midrash welcome home to torah we are not in the regular clea car this week but we are using the clio car to discuss shibuyas the upcoming holiday and we are in a book called the olos of frame written by friend me lunches and here we go we are going to deal with a with a verse in numbers 28 verse 26 which describes something about the day it says on the day that you bring your first fruit offerings when you offer them up as a min a min a new meal offering la hashem it's to hashem on your festival of weeks and that's what we're going to be dealing with and the big question that the clear car is going to ask is something that we should have asked and we did ask we did talk about but anybody who's listening would know to ask on rosh hashanah we know that is yom hadin it's the day of judgment and yet nowhere does it say clearly in the torah that the um the day of rosh hashanah is the day of judgment the great judgment day however bring it back to this on shibuyas isn't it matan torah aren't we celebrating the giving of the torah the receiving of the torah somehow another the the actual revelation itself where we received the torah isn't that what she was all about and yet the verse is nowhere is it clearly stated in the entire five books of moses that this is the day that we receive the torah the aside from the fact there's no date which we're not going to deal with tonight there's no specific date that's part of you know understanding this but that it doesn't refer to it the torah itself does not refer to shibuyas as the day of ma tantora keeping that in mind one let me just give i don't want to spoon feed you but i do want to give you this idea that if it's yom mendin is rosh hashanah and god wants us to constantly think about doing chuba not sinning and doing the right thing so if we thought of it or the taurus said specifically that that was the day what is the likelihood human nature will delay any kind of chuva we'll sin the whole year and then maybe the month before maybe the week before or maybe during the 10 days of truva we'll just concentrate on doing chuva and that's not what god wants god wants us to constantly be involved in the concept of chuva and therefore plug that same idea overlap that idea so the clear car actually wants us to think in the same framework that the receiving of the torah should be every single day we shouldn't only think about one particular day that we receive the torah but the very fact that the torah does not tell us that was the day we received the tour in fact there are other verses that say hi young we'll discuss that that every single day we should consider receiving the torah and with that brief introduction let us begin with the clear cards introduce i'm going to just refer to him as the clear car although we know we're referring to the olos of rhyme he begins with this brief introduction tom well actually he just quoted the verse i did the reason this is like the paragraph that sums up the reason for the hidden nature meaning the that it's somehow hidden this idea of the day of the giving of the torah in the torah itself so amrakatuv we read the verse very nice so after we're reading the verse before i begin to explain the partial to the different paragraphs that deal with this holy day then there are so does there are godly secrets that are hinted at that that we ourselves are involved firstly it's hinted at there's actually hints to all the different actions that we perform on this holiday rita la tirsa gado and therefore i see fit to try to resolve and to release any kind of doubt or great doubt one might have a share nu bo hakadomonim in which the earlier sages may have been perplexed this is a great question why is it that the very day of matantora is not mentioned meaning a date or that the sukkos is related specifically to matantar shazam and many of them had you know different answers some like this something like that that this was their question very fact that we don't find in the torah itself that this is the festival for the giving of the torah be kareem you know what the day is known as the day of bringing your first fruits what is so unique what is that hint to us sorry what is the torah trying to get across what's the message about first fruits that is so significant that relates perhaps to the whole idea of matantara and he says it seems like that's the only description the matzos if you think about passover which is called hagamatsu's when we think about pesach the leaving of egypt we're thinking about a physical freedom hashem has set up markers for that particular day and let's say that week the bethesva of the chodesh and uh either limited or defined on that particular day the 15th of the month como and the the obligation to the mitzvah the command regarding the festival is clearly explained in its place with uh clear objectives or specific reasons even hagigato for why we're celebrating pesach we left egypt how many misses how many times were we reminded and how many times a day were actually an obligation part of the 613 myths is to know and rem and remind yourself that hashem took you out of egypt so if that's true by pesach how much more so in other words it shouldn't be logical to think if the torah went ahead and defined and and explained so clearly about the physical leaving of egypt shouldn't the torah have clearly defined this unique festival that was in order to remember the giving of the torah which is so fundamental to us jews shusman shikra nafashos this is where our souls found freedom our physical body found freedom at pesach during the holiday pesach but what about the spiritual redemption spiritual freedom that we find through the torah the day the torah was given itself let's say even though this idea is coming with the spirit of the idea is being uh conveyed kamosha siva kadesh just think about it we have the jubilee year just as we are commanded to sanctify that 50th year haguford in which slaves are let free and physical property you know the real estate property goes back to its original owner so that's a physical freedom that we're experiencing and um as we know that liberty is proclaimed throughout the land as it says on the philadelphia liberty bell and it's a quote it's a quote from so too hashem himself commanded us that we should also sanctify the fiftieth day shuhu shikhar this is the day of the the freedom of our souls or for our souls nevertheless the question begs to be asked why why right llama lo tis kira toraba pharosh inion zed why does the torah neglect why does it hide why does it not mention specifically or explicitly this idea so the clear car says one more sentence i have seen the ability to answer or to resolve this question in many different ways and it goes on for chapters but we're only going to deal with this one particular mimer i just for those who are watching it's mimer uh kflamet 139. bizrat hashem next week will continue with another a very interesting mimer about khalaf why do we eat and drink why do we have a lot of cheesecake dairy on on shavuous i just want you to look at the first page again when it says the word starts with hashem the reishi tevo is the acronym for la mibet is khalaf anyway that is like just a a teaser for next week okay so the next paragraph begins i am going to give a partial answer i'm going to begin to answer part of the major question try to imagine that means he'll describe why it is similar that this day is very similar the dome to what we call the great and awesome and day of judgment for the bodies anyway at least in a physical sense in this world for rosh hashanah too young shalom as well as to the day as we are just going to now describe the receiving of the torah was actually a day of judgment on our souls and this will be in the world to come let's say forever kilometers because we the similar idea is we don't find anything in the torah specifically mentioning the rosh hashanah is the omadin but this day is also a yamadin we also described it as the day of the giving of the torah but it's also yom hadin and it's not just for the jews i when we read this you'll see i think this applies to non-jews as well we'll see why rosh hashanah you'll see this in number uh two on your source sheet numbers 29 1 it says it shall be a day of chauffeur sounding to you so that's the only description right by rosh hashanah it doesn't call it a day of judgment so there's no explicit explanation of what we're supposed to do on that day or what what difference is that day than any other day the the ta'amu yiddha bizrat makamo and he says with god's help i'll be able to discuss it in its place meaning when he discusses rosh hashanah and he does i hope everyone's on the same page with this nobody knows the day of their own death correct okay david himself knew that he was going to die when he was 70. but he didn't know what day he did and he okay that's a whole nother story so but most of us have no clue we don't know we don't know the day we're gonna die and then we'll be able to enter into this day of judgment called rosh hashanah and the reason that it's hidden by rosh hashanah is in order that a man all his days will be spent doing truva thinking about anything he did wrong trying to make the proper corrections because any day you can enter the the day of judgment with hashem obviously after the fact that you're in doubt what day you're going to die yomadan then you're going to make sure that every single day you feel that it's impending to get things straight because tomorrow could be the judgment day russia and hopefully as a result of that you'll stay far from sin you won't be a russia you won't be an evil person the yushu the yeshua is in other words and this is the very reason when it comes to rosh hashanah the yomadin so a person won't feel used to or practicing a sin like i described before you're not going to wait to the last minute you won't wait until you won't wait until the week before you'll be trying your whole your darnest right the whole year to stay right with god and do trueva day by day cola share and knock new icing but you know i think he's being a little bit critical of us but we all do this don't we we wait until hello we wait until the week before we wait until uh the 10 days of truva not to eat pasakum you know and shemin made by non-jews and we try to be very strict right because we're going to be judged so he goes he says like this is everybody thinks that they're just that they're right in their own eyes right we judge ourselves we get up in the morning we look ourselves and say you're god's gift to humanity right and then only towards as we get closer and closer to rush runner then we get serious and we do chuva vitamin hello but the reason the torah left it uh hidden is so that one should always be in this doubtful situation every single day who yomma did that perhaps you're going up to a heaven for your final judgment as we see in you'll find this on number three in gemara rashona 16a so we do there's a big discussion about rosh hashanah being the day of judgment but there are other opinions it's true there's no doubt that restaurants day judgment but rubyosi says a person is judged every day and there's a verse in job 7 18 which actually is used for both even the next opinion that ravinatan says a person is judged every hour so the verse is you visit him every morning and the latter part of the verse is you try him every moment so basically the idea is that it's a multiple uh opinions about when you're judged the truth is they're all true we are judged all the time okay the question is which one is the the ultimate judgment but there's a three-way mark locus adam nidon the truth is we should know this that a person is judged not just every moment and not just every every day but every moment as well uh rosh hashanah this is like something i don't know if we've all thought about deeply but this idea is that rosh hashanah is what is yom shi shi la brian so when we say that rosh hashanah is the beginning of the world the creation of the world we don't really mean that literally what we really mean is that that's when man was created so the world was created five days before because man was created on the sixth day then shabbos was the second day of life so you have on the 25th day which is day one 26 day two so by the time you get to the sixth day that's the first day of the month of tishrei rosh hashanah is the first like it's a new moon it's the first day of the new month of tishrei and so that's day six of creation and that is the time that man is judged every single year but think about it we always think about the first day of the year it's the first day of creation it's really the sixth day of creation so it's yom hashishi and i want to take you i'm not sure we're not we're there yet but um that's correct the first day of human history if you look at number five it says in genesis 1 and verse 31 god saw all that he had made he already judged then that's a judgment call and behold it was very good and it was evening it was morning yom hashishi you don't have a hay before all the other days what do you have a definitive hey it's uh hey how you dear okay that's a means like it's like capital t-h-e the 6-day there's something unique and special about the sixth day so i want you to look at the rashi there scripture added a hay on the sixth day at the completion of creation to tell us that he stipulated with them meaning with creation you were created all of creation was created on the condition i'm going to just change the word just for a second that somebody will accept the five books of the torah god knew it was going to be the jews but he did ask everybody and they all turned it down and that's why i think this is really a judgment day as well for all the non-jews the non-jews to be a righteous non-jew and go to heaven part of that is the acceptance of the very fact that the seven laws were reiterated stated again at mount sinai meaning our tradition is adam received six commandments noah received one more the seventh but that's not enough god reiterated he gave the torah to the world the torah for the jews which is the torah that we have and we have to keep it god is addressing the jewish people as well as the nation should understand that god is addressing the jewish people we are the koaim we are the priests and we're going to discuss this as we go along so there's something unique about this experience for noah to also truly understand because he has to understand that they're from god as opposed to a smart non-jew and he'll be blessed in this world if he comes to the conclusion that it's healthy lifestyle to live a moral life it's um you know progressive it's it's just good for mankind it makes the world a better place he will be blessed in this world but he may not and will not see the world to come if he doesn't believe in god and the god that god gave the torah so i see yo matantora also relating a judgment day to the non-jews as well let's continue so therefore what was happening the numerical value of hey is five so yom hashishi even though it's on the sixth day that the five books were given over to the world so that the whole world was actually waiting in ambience like in limbo if nobody accepted the torah if the jews did not accept the torah the world would revert back to nothingness another explanation for the sixth day the works of creation were all suspended until the sixth day which is the sixth day the sixth of sivan the very day that we're referring to referring to the sixth day of sivan which was prepared for the giving of the torah the hey is the definitive article alluding to the well-known sixth day the sixth day of sivan when the torah was given i might have jumped ahead but let's continue back into the clear car so before the creation of man kikoda saw adam lawyer in there was no place for any kind of judgment lola el yonim not in the amongst the angels first of all shannon yodem lassos they have no free will angels are perfectly in line with god's will they do exactly what he says and there is no judgment for them because they have no free will the lolla tattoo quebec and guess what lions and tigers and bears they're murderers they're robbers they do all kinds of immoral acts no we don't think of it that way that is instinct there is no judgment below us we are the ones that are being judged kiyom shishiba sivan who yom din the very day that we're describing coming up soon called shbuas is judgment day that's right it's the sixth day ki bo hayan because on that day the world is judged in two levels in a general way clearly and in a very specific way or individual way as we will discuss like it says in ghazal you'll find this in gamora about azara and i think i have it here on number four um basically it actually just says what i told you before that if the jewish people would not have accepted the torah i'll just refer to jeremiah 33 25 the gomorrah mentions that god said basically the testimony of heaven and earth it will will basically attest to this it says in jeremiah 33 25 if my covenant be not day be not with day and night i would not have appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth so heaven and earth would cease to exist perhaps rabshem ben luckish even asked what does it mean on the verse we just described in genesis 1 31 and there was evening and morning the sixth day so the torah tells us that the holy one blessed be established a condition with the acts of creation he made all of creation stipulated by this if the jewish people would not accept if the people would accept my torah at the revelation on sinai well then everything is great and if not i'm going to return you back to the primordial primordial state of chaos and disorder so we have to take it seriously if we learn torah or study torah or make it a priority in our life the world exists and will continue to exist and if we don't not good okay so basically it says yamashishi we talked about that the entire universe is hanging in ambiance until that sixth day of sivan which brought hashem we said we would accept we still have to continue and the whole world was standing in a balance in judgment whether or not the world would be destroyed or continued to exist now that's claudi that's the overall judgment but what about haprati how how is each person judged individually first of all understand that every human being is a a means i'm going to say is a miniature universe a universe on their own every body counts but your whole world to yourself to a certain extent so if that's true the heinous that's what we're actually called in a small world like it says in ghazal now this is going back to this idea in in gamora shabbos at8a which i do have here i'll try to describe it what's happening that what happened was hashem took the mountain and he held it over our heads can you imagine use your imagination and he says that if you don't accept the torah right here and now i'm going to bury you here under the mountain now there was a now let let's say like this can someone really be forced right the religious coercion well if god made the stipulation before the world was created of course so let's say to a certain extent we were forced is that really the best case scenario wouldn't it be better if we had been willing to accept the torah well guess what happened at the time of esther esther hamalka what happened that's when we said right king of the qibla yody malayam so it says over there in 9 27 of the scroll of esther the jews ordained what they had already taken upon themselves through coercion at sinai i mean that's it just means that we had accepted upon ourselves but we already accepted pride previous but we did it willingly with joy and keep that in mind when we celebrate purim together that we're very happy that we accepted it willingly and that is exactly what happened okay so keep that in mind no we were not drunk okay uh coppolaim heart right god put over her head like a barrel or a bathtub over her head he held the mountain over her head and he said in tikkabu torah mutav if you accept the torah great beam love shamdiya kevorothem and if not that will be you will that will be your tomb or your burial place so what comes out of all this this is really the beginning of all his actions kill if neem hayao olam because prior to this the world was nik shivla tahu below torah i just want to just stop for a second and explain we have a six thousand year cycle the first two thousand years we call toe the vohu meaning chaos and void that's up until abraham by the way abraham was born in what year not this you know according to the gentile calendar but the jewish calendar and then 2000 years later the next story then the so he so he was from basically what we call him is the two thousand years of torah so you have two thousand years prior to him are chaos and void then you have two thousand years from abraham's life onward is what we call the years of torah and then the last two thousand years which we're in are called the years of meshiach but just keep in mind that our avos followed the torah what torah that's a good question i'm glad you asked what torah the troll wasn't given yet so they definitely kept the seven night no height loss for sure the question is and it's a big question do they keep just they didn't violate the negative commandments did they also do the positive commandments i mean it's a good question but we basically hold according to many opinions that they did keep not only the the torah laws they even kept rabbinic laws they were at least abraham isaac and jacob they were so spiritually sensitive that they were and ruach kodesh that they understood what later on khazal was able to even darshan out and draw out and make takanas and all that kind of stuff because rashi gives an example of a heir of tough shilin that avraham even kept heir of tafshilon which is a rabbinic command okay let's go on so it comes out like this that the the first prior to um prior to us receiving the torah it was considered to like to blow torah and i think this is my if i understand this correctly he's saying it wasn't just the jews it's not just the jewish people that are being judged about receiving the torah or not on that day a meme is plural for nations for other peoples in the kabbalah torah hamaya edit because the torah itself uh designates or proscribes reward and punishment and call yesterday jew gets a place in the world to come and there is also room for non-jews you don't have to be jewish to come along okay so just keep saying so just to reiterate that one point that i believe that ever like says amin everybody rosh hashanah itself is a day that every human being is being judged so too here that when it says it's like a that's actually the new sock the words we use in our restaurant of prayers so two this is like the beginning of his works the very day of the revelation is so significant to the whole world it's not just a jewish thing that whether it comes to seven or high laws whatever comes to a a righteous person whether he's righteous or just wise there is a concept of of reward and punishment and that's designated in the torah itself the very fact that it's hidden that there's a reasons why it benefits us it actually helps us for two reasons that someone who is trying to be enlightened he says someone who is enlightened let's say spiritually enlightened he should imagine or create or illustrate within his heart the koyom every single day as if to very today every day as this as if today the torah was given just like we learned in um let's just say like this i'm not sure where it's in the sifri it brings down like this okay from the verse we learn from the verse from the pasuk right god says i command you today and in deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 40. i command you today that we learn from there that one should feel every single day he is being or she is being commanded meaning an acceptance of the torah that each and every single day should be similar in your eyes you should imagine in your own mind that you should imagine to yourself that today is the receiving of the torah from harshinai to etslo now prudgama is a modern word so i don't know if it means the same thing but it's a thing a prototype some new thing something new so you should what we should have in our minds is it's brand new remember we said it's a the torah itself is new shalom and you shouldn't be uh disgusted by or detested by it kedavra yashen as something that is growing old okay now i don't know if something is old you mean like rotting right the fee of them chalibo katsbo because that's what people usually do they get disgusted by things that are very old and let's say deteriorating but rather each and every single day one should be overjoyed with the commands and the instructions that hashem is giving us because they're straight just like we find now listen to this amazing verse this is in michele proverbs 5 19. now i we are going to it's going to sound very sexual so try to use your imagination and we won't talk about it too much i yell it ahavim this verse is referring to a lovely hind and a graceful mountain goat her breast will satisfy you at all times you shall always be intoxicated with her love by the way next week we're going to talk about the latter part of this verse that's when we talk about milk but in the meantime we're talking about a lovely hind now this hind is a deer of sorts and i yell it so the clear car explains apparently what we're talking about is that she has a very narrow womb or let's say a very tight place and therefore her husband is intoxicated he's like the such great desire has such great pleasure let's say every every time just like the first time so too if that's true by such a uh description of what we're talking about afraid torah so when it comes to the words of torah khadivah so too for those that learn the words of torah they should be so pleasurable so intoxicating because rishona just like the very first time that we heard these words even though we heard them many times it's like the first time okay the al-khazar and regarding this there's a verse in also in mishlai 27-7 it talks about having let's say when you're have a desire like a heishek for something you're really hungry so you can a tree appreciate a honeycomb but in proverbs 27 7 number 8 it says a stated soul tramples a honeycomb meaning when you are satiated you you unbelieve probably waste a lot of things but you don't appreciate the honeycomb to something that's very sweet so hiya torah the torah itself is so sweet it's so sweet it's no faith it's even sweeter than the sweetest honeys and furthermore the furthermore this very mentioning of what we're talking about actually benefits and helps this uh enlightened person illustrate in their own heart each and every day as if today you're receiving the torah kilo young nikapa all love and it's as if god is placing over your head this barrel or the mountain as if he's going to bury you there kilu natun bedin and as if you are being judged as if you were being judged that god forbid if you don't follow through with what is written in it then this is proper that you would let's say mola de regulos probably referring to the holidays themselves or let's say standing up on your feet so to speak very interesting language the ultimate i'm going to translate as the netherworld it does mean hell that people translated that way but the nether world is down below regazo like it's somehow getting excited because he thinks you're coming right if you're not going to accept the torah every single day and ready to um to take on knowing that it's a yom din you're going to be judged so the whatever that is that's living down below in the netherworld is getting the netherworld itself is excited that you're on your way so therefore zahiri zuma the the the sum yeras hashem therefore the very fact that we're talking about it this way is in order that you should recognize it's going to help you have more awe of god a recognition and god consciousness in front of you in order to prevent you from sinning in order that you won't sin or be guilty of anything now according to this proposal that we've been discussing there's no no there's no time that is specific or limited to the re to the day of the giving of the torah why it's a hamas because by the enlightened one who because he's thinking about this all the time and there's no greater right reason why otherwise you know in other words there's no greater reason why that should be someone should in order for one to be hunger hungry and desire the word of god think about what it says in per capita just to start with in percover it's number nine on the source sheet chapter one mishna four it's speaking about having your home be a meeting place for the wise dust yourself in the soil of their feet but drink thirstily of their words so it says in hebrew how they shouted with sema es divreham that's such an important thing that the words of torah but it's thirst you such a desire to quench your thirst with the words of torah from these sages that are around you and that leads us into the next idea the aside and also in the future so that's true what perciavate the sages tell us to do but if you look what it says about the future in amos 8 11. so it says over there behold the days are coming says the lord and i will send famine into the land not a famine of bread nor thirst for water but to hear the word of the lord the heist lord hashem that's what it's all about so ha sim in bracha this whole idea is a a good sign shalom the people will not be hungry for regular bread for regular food kim ledvar hashem but they will be interested in spiritual matters you reavim gomi they will be hungry and as well as thirsty for spiritual love remember we asked the very beginning what is the special relationship to first fruits that's the only description given well guess what wait to hear this i would ask for drum rolls at this point what in the world is a picorim have to do with this but this is the very reason kihadava shinitbak that's something that something that becomes so ripe right ripens comes first that's in other words the word bachor is for the firstborn because he comes first so it could mean ripening quickening coming first so something that is quick or coming first by a man he desires very much to swallow it while it's still in his hand so what we're going to describe in this verse in isaiah 28 in isaiah 28 and verse 4. hear the verse and his glorious beauty shall be beyonce be the young fruit of an inferior fig which is in the head of the valley of fatness as a fig that ripens before the summer that means it's ripening early which if the seer sees it someone's looking at it he will swallow it while it is still in his hand meaning it is so ripe that you don't want to even hold it for another minute it's quickly ripening and that's an unbelievable thing look at the rashi like a ripening of the young fruits of an inferior fig in other words it should not be ripe but something is happening where it is before the summer summer is the time of the ripening of other figs but because it's in its early ripening he pounces on it and swallows it while still in his hand keep that in mind this is the jewish people what do we say not seven ishma let's do it already and well then we'll understand right so nitina the netina torin nimshala labikorim hashem the very giving of the torah is gonna be compared right nimshala to these first fruits as the people of god we are the people of god the arm of hashem a libicurium we are also considered like the first born in fact we are called the first born but that's not for now now look in um it's actually hoshai in 9 10. it was a mistake but it says like this in hoshaya 9 10 it says like the grapes in the desert i found israel god is really you know talking very nice about us like rapes in the desert i found israel like a ripe thing on a fig tree ready for these words in its beginning the jewish people are called like a ripe fig tree in its beginning and then it says i saw your forefathers keep all this in mind um should we see rashi now like grapes in the desert like grapes which are precious and precious in the desert so did i love israel like a ripe fig that's what bihura like a ripe fig on a tree but not in its beginning in the beginning of the ripening of the figs i saw your forefathers so did your forefathers appear in my eyes to love them now it says like this after reading that verse we said it's that the jewish people are considered in the beginning so this is what it says in brazil the very fact the genesis 1 1 if you actually look over there right look at the number 13 on the store sheet in the beginning gods of god's creation of the heavens and the earth it says bereshit it says be resheet by the way if you look down below it teaches us the sequence of the creation it teaches us that the sequence of the creation as written is impossible this is not about a sequence but rather to teach us that god created the world for the sake of his torah so the torah is called resheet and we have a pasek in proverbs 8 22 reishi darko and we have another verse in jeremiah 2 3 where the jewish people are called reishi tvatta the first of his grain so there's something that rashi is telling us already back in genesis that there's a thing called reishi god created the world for ray sheet reishi is the first fruit so to speak the torah is reishit and the jewish people are called reishit so let's continue with the cleo car so what says bray sheath bishvil hatorah the torah is called ray sheet as i already mentioned in in proverbs 8 22 pro is it 8 22 right number 14 it says the lord acquired me at the beginning of his way before his works of old we're talking about the torah the the the reishi darko before he even created the world and in jeremiah it's talking about the jewish people it says clearly you cannot mess with this israel is holy to the lord kodesh israel hashem resheet to dwata the first of his grain okay look at rashi israel is holy like truma like truma the first of his grain like the first of the harvest before the omer which is forbidden to eat and whoever eats is liable fine so here we have the reishi tvato bora lukeem the guyme ki bemet lishnayan mishpat hareshit vahabakura when it regards both of them meaning israel and the torah so that is regarding the truth is both of them are judged as first and foremost if i can just translate it that way reishit first and foremost that's why it's resheet la tamzeem and this is for the very reason that blessed be the the almighty the merciful one who gave the torah he gave the torah which is compared to the first fruits to the nation of god which is compared to the first fruits libby on the day of first fruits he gave the first fruits of the torah to the nation which is the first fruits on the day of first fruits kikoda montero was not ripened it usually means cooked it's not yet cooked not ready not ready to eat it's not ripened because before mountain torah the the eshkoliot in the torah i think it means the torah itself i'm sorry i think it mean it could mean the people right the abhos kept the torah but they weren't fully ripened so to speak the taureans never changes the torah is always right kiavos even though they fulfilled the entire torah mikhail makom they only ate that was not yet ripe the he it was like a beginning of a flower they were only flowering they were beginning to blossom as people that's what they were first fruits but that's what they were in the beginning they were just buds right they were not even full flowers yet they were just coming up as buds kamal yisrael shalom even the jewish people did not yet come into the status of man until they stood their feet at har sinai vinistalka mayhem zuhuma and then was removed from the jewish people at mount sinai the impurities shahidlin that this is a middle mystical that the snake placed in tahava in the garden of eden that was removed from the jewish people at mount sinai as nigma hapri that's when the fruit became ripe at mount sinai this is a yoma bikurim as it says in jeremiah chapter 2 verse 3. i think we read that one sorry maybe jeremiah 11 right it's jeremiah 11 verse 16. a leafy olive tree fair with goodly fruit has the lord called your name yaffa pre-toar hashem okay so that is referring to the idea now we have reached the level of fruit a ripe fruit when we receive the torah and also kamokina nimsha leitz khayyam the torah itself is compared to what we call eight kaim this is number 17 on this on the sword sheet proverbs 3 18 it's called it is a tree of life for those who grasp it and those who draw near to it are fortunate and even though we didn't um okay basically it's like this i share pure yo tenbito i i skipped something kamo king tori nimsho let's so too the torah is compared to this eighth time this tree of life which give off its fruit in its time and he makes a very interesting statement vegetables you have to replant every year but trees they're there from year to year what's the difference between this tree this year and next year the fruits that's the only difference the tree is the torah and that's the same so he says a planted tree masada osmo from its own aspect eno mishtanam ishana there's no difference between this plant the tree from year to year zulata pre except for the the fruits that grow shabbos because the fruits are new every year there's new fruits every year goofy torah load tishtana beshuman therefore the torah itself doesn't change from time to time zulat pre the only thing that changes is the pre and how is he going to interpret the pre for us listen to these words he says like this that is the tamim the hidushi torah that are those are the reasons that we delve deep in into the torah and come out with these novel ideas that we draw forth from the torah and that's why it says going back to our original verse that this on the day of the first fruits because the tour itself needs to be like a new item a new prototype so bizred hashem this coming year that shivers we should really feel that we're it's yomadin that our life depends on it and we should carry this feeling through the year and when we make novel ideas when we come up with and we that's what we're here for everybody has a letter in the torah and everybody's in olam katan a unique universe and we're all here to interconnect with each other and share these torah ideas because i'll tell you the truth the world is full of fake news and this is the only thing that's real okay this is the only thing that's real and share torah with as many people as you can but you should be excited about it i'm like i'm not telling you what to do i'm telling you what god wants god wants you to feel excited as if you're intoxicated with the love of the torah and bizrat hashem you'll continue to make hidushim and grow in your meadows and grow in your torah knowledge meow
