TREASURE TROVES OF LOVE

the jewish people which includes you by the way are hashem's treasures thank you we'll think okay [Music] you you're hashem's tragedy did you catch that you are hashem's treasure hello my name is josel and welcome to the late parsha show all right yes this week's torah portion says hashem has chosen you to be a treasured people for him out of all the nations of the world thank you as the passage says the verse says hashem has chosen you to be a treasured nation for him from all the nations of the world and this verse is coming soon after the terrorist saying you are children to hashem hashem calls us his children and as is explained by rabbi kiva in a voice i don't remember which chapter even though oh chapter three what do you call a mishna in english mission of 14 that's that's where rabbi akiva says that hashem tells us hashem doesn't just love us but hashem informs us just how much he loves us again see i don't know stuff anyway hashem really lays it on thick and informs us of this extraordinaire extraordinary and tremendous love that is regardless of our actions yes the same god who demands that we fulfill the mitzvot loves us regardless of whether or not we're performing the mitzvos or how we are performing the mislease it's a hot topic and people might say oh ellie you shouldn't say that especially to an unknown audience in a video because this is just going to give people an excuse to behave however they want but this fact that hashem calls us his children is followed by that hashem looks at us as a treasure what's a treasure a king is rich everybody could agree a king is rich a treasure though is not useful what does that mean the king has money to fund all the different programs that his country needs the military et cetera et cetera et cetera et cetera et cetera et cetera et cetera right a lot of money but a treasure is just for the king's personal enjoyment just to look at just to enjoy owning and having not using [Music] a while why are you excited oh i was doing the parsha show just our existence is pleasurable for hashem just your existence is pleasurable for hashem this is really hashem looks at us regardless of whether or not we are useful to the mission for which hashem created the world in the grand fulfillment of hashem's plan hashem still looks at us as a gem because we are indeed hashem's treasure and i was learning this with some friends before and a friend was overhearing it and he passed by and said yeah but do we want to be that his question was like of course we want to be hashem's treasure but do we want to be only hashem's treasure in other words we do want to be useful right we do want to partake in this plan of hashem who loves us the way that we should get involved and be useful for lack of a better word that's why i keep repeating that one is by getting in mashiach mode increasing in our torah observance do a mitzvah not for hashem's love because you have it anyway do it because this is the plan do a mitzvah learn more torah start to celebrate because mashiach is about to be here and we're all about to see it and that should all be with a full fledged love for your fellow jew shabbat shalom
