Um I want to speak a little bit about uh we're already a couple days in. The bad news is we already have three days behind us but the good news is most of is still ahead. As you know there are many to the brings from the chuva chuva. You have you have you have says is like an one of the reasons we said over the years why there's so many tool since is like an there needs to be signs everywhere's here's here even says l you hear that el the brings that wherever you look it's el because lol is a city of refuge you need to have signs everywhere but the classic reme to l is however Many forget about the next part of the Pakashim. Ah, what do those words mean? I thought you might ask that is the secret of L. Very important. Um, here we go. You know what? Don't take my word for it. Stay right there. Don't go anywhere. You see this? What is this? Anybody know what this is? It's a rose. [snorts] The bring the secret of isoim. What does that mean? The one who shepherds the roses. What do roses have to do with Allah? In the car, he brings from the Re is in the words says rose. Don't read it. The I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me. The is to be engaged in [snorts] one of the reasons we say is in David we articulate the mainoid of L. You know what that is? I only ask one thing. I ask for one thing. Limo is the primary avoid of you know the bring a removalis. If you find that your heart is hard like stone, you need to soften it with lima. place the oatra on your heart. [snorts] By the way, if you look ini, you'll notice every single letter of the of the alif appears except for the letter gimmel. Gimmel stands for gym. Usually we say the two eurim and a hashem are tamato alfbina gimmel gumlim throughout shas these two important areas of aid go hand in handrail to be able to derive the maximum spiritual growth a person needs to focus on these two areas of hashem But in L there's such a focus on tamra where becomes a there's a primacy given to there is no gimmel that appears even in to indicate that while usually is what is second in there's an added focus given on s lil on tatra >> [snorts] >> By the way, especially on Shabases during brings in the that he heard from the since Shabas is connected to every mitzvah that you do on Shabas is like and therefore every of Shabas is like all 613 mitzvah which by the way the Quran teaches every word of Tyra is a separate mitzvah by the way Tyra itself is equal to all 613 so Tyra on Shabas is 613 time 613 that's a lot plus the Benes says that the teach that a mitzvah that you do on Shabas has a thousand times more effic see them during the week. So imagine one word of Tyron Shabas is 613 time 613 times a thousand. [snorts] Can you imagine how you could get into the green by especially says it on Shabas it's easier that it could be therefore in we say but friends there's another meaning of Shanim says just like a rose has 13 petals. Now I'm not sure what it means. It It says it has 13 leaves. One 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 H. Maybe we count this one. 12 third. I don't know. I'm not sure how to count it. Maybe it's the petals. One 6 7 8 9 10. Has a bit more than 13. Maybe it's the leaves. But the zoyar says just like a has 13 leaves. So too has that means to the which we know from the that in the month of the the 13 are illuminative. By the way, the in the one of the reasons we say is in it has the Hashem 13 times to indicate that from until [snorts] he brings the He brings from the that the main intention and the main reme is the end of the because however in order for us to We need to accord oursel with the safer brings there's a to learn because the teaches how we could emulate likewise teaches we who are awaiting the of hem the raim of hem the way we could attain raim The way we could be find is by according ourselves trying to emulate the you know the says had the not said this it would be impossible to say. Hashem wrapped himself like and he showed and he said but it's interesting the garra doesn't say that Hashem said it's not enough just to say it says we've discussed this in the past from the from the from The that the is only if we accord ourselves with the has 13 leaves. It's not just it's the represents during this month if we want to to be committed and dedicated to our welfare. So we're learning we need to be there are two elements of the one is two is the way we could ensure that we will be committed to Hashem and Hashem will be committed to us is we have to be and but actually the two go hand in hand. The two really go together very seamlessly. We know that one of the benefits of learning Tory is learning to one of the reasons why we begin with why are we saying the 13 hermeneutic principles of exesus. We're not about to learn. We're about to dite because focused on. So the way we ensure that Hashem's committed to us and we're committed to Hashem where the had a ministrate All the various theim would begin leash by learning gaman. He would learn garan. He would say that rashashana is like the stem cells of the year. Whatever you do on rashash shana will create the reality for the rest of the year. So if he begins the year with indepth lira that will portend that it will be a year mallera. But perhaps there's another dimension of this custom of the rash where we're trying to be the a secret way to be is by learning [snorts] actually I have a It's a response from the Holocaust. And in the introduction, he talks about he talks about that that they had no food. However, he says something amazing. He says that when after the winter the grass started to grow, he realized the ramim was coming. Why? Because says the first was made by the grass. The grass said like this. If trees that normally grow separate, one distinct. They grew linam according to their species. Then we grass who we grow together with other grows and other sproutings only we need to grow right the says um the hashem told the the trees to grow lemu. So the grass made a kab certainly we need to grow le. So theel says since grass is the first item that made aim corresponding to um is the first of the corresponding to the first of the he they felt that the grass was an omen that hashem's because the grass was the first to perhaps in the because it's so the classic remel is not just in the words but the zar says it's also the next words one interpretation another interpretation just like has soim And these two interpretations they go hand in hand together everybody on all of us from all of and we Msa says you can have an appreciation and enjoyment of the sweetness of which is have a great day everyone. >> Thank you. Amen. To be in your sh by your hand. And also that's a good thing cuz rose rose is also a rose. >> Have a good day. Morning. Smile.
