Shavuot: Torah & The Power of Honey - Rabbi Daniel Glatstein

[Music] DAV compares the sweetness of Tyra to Honey the t is sweeter than honey more delectable than the honeycomb likewise schom says the Torah is compared to milk and honey offers remarkable explanation what is the analogy what the comparison between the T and honey says in his introduction to Honey seems like rather innocuous food but it is powerful it is potent the powerful sweetness of Honey is such that if a piece of bread would fall into honey and it would spend enough time in that honey it would completely disintegrate furthermore even if a slab of meat would fall in honey it would completely disintegrate and decompose in the honey to the extent says if a trafe piece of meat if a piece of meat that is not Kosher falls into honey the power of the honey is so strong that it will transform that piece of meat into honey and you would be allowed to eat it you hear that you could have a trade pie piece of meat if it falls in Honey the transformative power of Honey is such that it can transform even a tray piece of meat into honey itself so too says that is the power of T you could have someone who's rot into the core bad character bad personality if they immerse in Tyra the power of Honey is such that it will transform the person into someone who is righteous says this is what it means in Le the Torah literally transforms a person to become righteous that is the transformative power of the sweetness of Tyra [Music]
