Look at a safer Torah sitting in the ark. It's it's quiet and it's immovable. It's you can't move it. It can't move on its own. And then we take the Torah and we lift it up from when we read it and we hold it with our body and we walk with it and we dance with it. That brings the Torah to life. You know what's the cutest thing about Torah? When we finally finish reading the entire Torah and everybody comes together to what? To party. Life is too depressing. Life is life is too hard. We need we need times to be and wonderfully when we finish learning the Torah the entire Torah from until we are taught the most important lesson of our times right now. And that is you have to be happy. You have to be and you have to celebrate. Life is a celebration. And there's an idea of the dance of life. We have to walk around where we go every day. Not just on Torah, but every day we have to be singing and dancing. I don't mean to actually do it. People will think you're crazy. They might be right, but we don't want to advertise necessarily. You know, I don't tell everybody that I'm ADD, OCD, and AC/DC. I keep that to myself. That's my private business. But the point is that we have to know Simha's Torah is not a one-day holiday. It's to tell you that that's how you need to be every day because joy is the secret of life. There's a verse in the Torah that says serve God with joy. In Hebrew, the word is same word of simra to be happy to be joyous. Now, the letters of basima spell out the same word for shaba thought. And here's the difference between where you stand in life. Whether you want to stand in Hashem's world, in God's world, and be a part of his world, or whether you want to stand in God's way and tell God, you're you're in the way and you give us some space. We need our space to be happy the way we want to be happy. There's two kinds of happiness. There's a dumb dumber happiness, which in the end of the day, if that's your life, a dumb dumber happiness, then you're the dumbest. But then there's a smart happiness. There's a idea that to turn on your brain, to truly be happy, that's a happiness today and a happiness tomorrow. It's to turn on your brain. That's serve God with joy, but with thinking, a thinking kind of joy. And here's the difference. The difference is this. Think about what you're doing. Think about where you're going and tell yourself, "If I'll look back at this happiness that I'm experiencing right now, when I'll be old and ready to leave this world, will I be proud of it? Will I want to take it with me? Or will I wish I could take it away from my life? Could I wish I will would I wish I could erase it? What would I wish when I look back at my happy moments? Will I regret them because they were empty happy moments that were here today gone tomorrow or will I cherish them and keep them with me and actually take them with me to the next world to the next life was it a soul kind of happiness or was it just a external physical animalistic body type of happiness and that's the lesson of sim Torah we are happy and we dance and we create a background music in our lives based on the Torah based on the wisdom of God based on the will of God and based on the directions that God leads us in this world and that's an everlasting sim. So why do we celebrate Simka's Torah, the joy of the Torah at the end of learning this wonderful book? So now we can appreciate the point. Why are we so happy when we finished reading the Torah? because we're so excited and we just can't wait to take all those wonderful ideas and bring them to life through our life, through our life experiences. We bring the Torah to life. When we get up and we start doing what we're here to do in this world, we give the Torah legs. We give the Torah arms. We give the Torah a true expression in reality. Because otherwise the Torah is this beautiful book, a theoretical book. The beautiful Torah with the beautiful casing. It sits in the ark. And that's not a real experience. It's not a real life. That's potential. The Torah in the ark is potential. And so too look at the beta mikdash when it had a Torah in the ark. The ark is a place that nobody can even be. Only one day a year the coin enters. That's not where we really bring out the Torah in the secluded private area of the ark. That's where the essence of the Torah begins to express itself. But it doesn't remain in the ark. We have the Torah in the holy of holies in the ark to spread into the next level, the holy with the manora and the bread. The manora is light. Spreading light into a dark world. The bread is sustenance. Learning how to feed the body with kosher happiness, kosher fun. And that's the next level, holy. And then we go out beyond the holy to a less holy level. And we bring the light and goodness of Torah there for all of the Kali's world, including everyone, men, women, and children. Because the Torah is a way of life for every individual, and of course, for the entire world. And so the idea that we're so happy about on Simless Torah is it's time to give the Torah arms and legs. And when we dance with that Torah, we're saying it's time to take it out into my life and into the world and to light up this dark world. And that's the light, the light of truth, the light of eternality, and the light of Mashiach. Because when we spread the light of Torah to the world, then the world becomes a place where God can finally come back to. And when God comes back, he brings Mashiach with him. And we all rise to another level of true joy. The greatest and happiest days that we're going to see are the days coming. through the fulfillment of learning Torah and fulfilling the Torah with happiness, we're going to break all the boundaries and we're going to conquer all of the darkness and we're going to see Mashiach. And that's why we're talking about the fundamental lesson and this is so beautiful. Look at the safer Torah sitting in the ark. It's it's quiet and it's immovable. It's you can't move it. It can't move on its own. And then we take the Torah and we lift it up from when we read it and we hold it with our body and we walk with it and we dance with it. That brings the Torah to
