and when you come to the land which God
has promised as as an inheritance which
is quite
important which means sa in this and in
many examples just now told you that
it's fully
cognizant of safer bit when the land was
the toic and the land was promised
to the
Patriarchs and you're going to receive
the land as a as an inheritance via
rashta you will inherit it via sha and
you will settle in it so I'm just saying
right there half the sentence
acknowledgement
of
in I'm saying it's it's all there in
that one little concentrated half of a
verse the
now right here you can decide how much
you want to go back to your braet theme
in terms of May from the beginning and
for that matter if you want to channel
your inner Reba um Outlook of
Torah then it becomes very interesting
that in the beginning of bid we kind of
messed up with the first fruit and now
we have a Mitzvah with the first fruit
so it's almost like you can't help but
recognizing that there's some kind of a
tun fixing which is being which is
taking place over here so again that's
really interesting that this is the
first Mitzvah but but I want to say
something which is uh a little bit
broader as we're going to continue over
here in the parasa first of all we're
going to have this whole larger to which
is taking place so what exactly is the
to and how does it relate to everything
else over here so hold that for a second
because that that that is quite
important the other thing that we're
going to have over here is essentially
in this first part par you're going to
have two mitv one is going to be the
second one's going to
be and then we're going to get into this
some kind of an interesting
declaration you're going to have this
statement about the mitzvot accepting
the mitzvot and we're going to see some
of the comments about
that in the middle right when we get to
the Borum we're going to have something
which we are again this goes back to
context we are far more familiar with it
out of context than we are in context
what do I mean by that if you were to
ask the average uh I don't know kid who
had a Jewish Education what exactly is
the Arid a and what is its significance
and when is it said so you know that N9
out of 10 if not 99 out of 100 are going
to tell you oh that's a part of the PES
seder and we say that on PES which is
obviously the wrong answer I mean it's
the right answer of why they're familiar
with it it's the right answer of when we
say it but it's not what it is and the
fact that we use it on PES is really
interesting because what is that that's
the text that we're supposed to say when
we take those first fruits and we go up
actually which holiday is it it's the
holiday of and not the holiday of PES
the fact that this was chosen and a text
which was said by the way it's
incredibly impr precise what I'm saying
now because all you need to do is to
look in the mishna and you you realize
that what I'm saying is wrong because
the Mish doesn't say that you say the
text that you the text you read the text
of it says that you're you say
the which is what the main part of the
is the is not it is
what saw within that and and it's the
teachings that kazal said which means
here was a really good succinct place
that not you're going to say a formal
text you know a formal text would
be that's not what this is that's not
what we do on PES we do on PES is we say
all of the if were here he would say
that on PES we're involved in
t as opposed
to what we're doing is we're learning
we're learning what it says not just
technically reading something on the
other hand on on when one does do
fulfills the MIT to the you go up to
Jerusalem and you say a formal text then
you're not saying the T then you're
saying the T that therefore should be
interesting the difference your mean
just real easy homework read through
the right just read it read learn learn
those only a couple chapters learn okay
not going to do it now then do it
by you have nothing to do then couple
chapters read
again it's a pet peeve but I I I love
when people
give has no yeah no
mitzvot you know how many people I've
heard give this our Torah it's all about
Torah it's all about Torah by the way I
want to and cheesecake I want I I I want
to I want to address that for a second
because that that's actually really
important one of again I'm still I'm
still now Cheesecake is not as important
again if my wife were here it would be
but it's not that
important she yeah I have to be
careful again context is
important when we think about what we
call
the
right and so on so we all know that
there's a fifth one as well and what's
the fifth one the fifth one is ve again
that's the for the Zionist crazies right
I'll bring you to the land by the way
think for a
second you realize now that there is
this
connection what we're going to have a
little bit later on as I said I already
read those verses and people don't know
what to do with it and when we're going
to get to Rashi and some of the others
you're going to suddenly have this
realization I'm again I'm making this
real easy for you now you're going to
have this realization that if we're
talking about the mitz it means that
we're talking about
in the Torah right listen to my words
carefully I'm not now I'm back to Torah
in the in the
Torah is an agricultural holiday Shiva
the seven weeks it's all
agricultural Tor shalz is going to
reveal to us oh that also happens to be
the day that we received the Torah at
sin so now how surprising should it be
that we're here talking about
parim and then there's going to be
reference to receiving and accepting the
Torah I'm just saying once you realize
this it becomes completely obvious that
of course we're talking about Matan
Torah in the context of ofab and what I
just now told you which I'm seeing isot
the simple level of this understanding
of uniting the T and the T or even
better how those who were the the
masters of tal were teaching us these
ideas they saw what I'm saying right now
as obvious the only thing I'll have to
admit to you is that at least as of this
moment I didn't find anybody who said
what I just now said but it's obvious
now you all know that it's it's just
it's staring at you it's almost you you
can't avoid what I just now said that of
course in the context
of there's going to be some kind of
expression of that other side that we
again generally know about from Toral
but it's staring at us and that is Matan
can I go one step further and this I'm
not going to get back to today but but
the idea of a to of a rebuke essentially
is the fine print in the contract
whereby that if you break the rules of
the contract you're going to lose your
rights to stay in that particular place
which means that the flip side of Matan
Torah is going to be and these are the
again these are the rules and this is
what's going to happen and therefore you
don't keep it this is what's going to
follow so therefore of of
course the mid M later on a whole bunch
of commentaries are going to point out
yes the last part ofra leading into
the is going to start out with
bah because this goes back to what
happened at SII because the other part
of accepting the Torah is not just this
is what you do here are the consequences
if you don't do it now you have the
bigger picture of what I just now again
I'm trying to lead the witness as it
were to uh to understand understand
context so that we can get toot so now I
want to say another thing when we look
at the two Mitzvah that we have over
here and that is again
theim and the V there's something about
the two of them that is easier for us to
understand and then there's something
about them which makes them somewhat of
an outlier again I'm being careful now
somewhat of an outlier which means the
idea that we're obligated to bring an
offering or some kind of offering or
some kind of gift or some kind of
gesture you know man reaching out to God
that makes sense what's interesting in
both of these cases is that there's also
a verbal de
declaration again going all the way back
to braia to few will and God infuses
within man the r this ability to speak
what makes us special in terms of
creation is our ability take letters and
turn them to words and words and turn
them into sentences and sentences and
turn them into really meaningful
Concepts so over here other than the
physical gesture that we are being asked
to do we're also being asked to speak
and to say something now the saying of
what we say that's also interesting
which means what the choic is over here
you know how again that that's going to
be the details but the very fact that
we're speaking is uh is
interesting what we say is OB obviously
going to be extremely interesting but I
think that's important for the context
the other thing that I'm going to point
out and now we're going to start reading
the other thing I'm going to point out
is something also that you would really
easily take for granted but that is
going to be the combination of
various expressions of
time past present
future again if you want to think about
the difference between humans and
animals so one ability is our ability to
speak the other ability is for us to be
haunted by the past and for us to have
fear for the
future think about how much of uh of
what is created lives in a present
doesn't really right I don't know how
many dogs lay you know in bed at night
and can't sleep and worry about paying
the mortgage right I I I I don't think
that's going to uh happen or wondering
okay what are my children doing right
now or right again this whole sense of
worry that we have The Angst that we
have this uh this torture next time
you're being tortured realize that that
is part of this gift that God gave us
for us to be able to be able to be
impacted by time and yes sometimes
there's something really negative again
depression is that we allow things real
or imagined that happened to the past to
cause us not to believe in the future
and to be stuck in a present that we're
convinced is not going to be better than
anything again real or imagine from the
past so therefore it's taking these
various aspects of time and kind of uh
convincing us that we don't control time
now also think because again there is
this link between leaving Egypt and
standing at seni
or see now I can't even say anything
about
this it's terrible
torture it's this again to get up toab
we first had to start with with Egypt
and Egypt how much of it is about time
and rushing and and trying to make sure
that the whole thing is not missed and
turned into let's start
reading it's
future when something's going happen in
the
future you're gonna take from the first
fruits which by the way is also it's
interesting because you can do with that
in terms of time whatever it is is that
you uh
choose so we just now had two
expressions of Holiness one expression
is when God's going to take you to the
Holy
Land second one is this anticipation of
having the BET mdash as well so over
here again if you kind of Miss over the
expressions of Holiness right now then
you've all also kind of missed what is
being
expressed again this anticipation of the
future the which will be in the
future and say him he
got so in the future you're going to
talk about the past about entering into
the
land and again not just the action that
you give over the fruits you speak and
you articulate you
say and you give context by the way part
of the reason of giving context is and
this is going to be obvious from this
section part of giving context is in
order to get us to a point of
Celebration which means when we realize
the humble Origins we realize where we
came from we realize how we got to where
we are to today so then you uh can pause
and think wow you know that that really
was something which is incredible and
this is a this is a larger historical
context but again you're going to go in
the future and then you're going to
think about the past I mean again that
that's just really interesting that this
this ability of being able to deal with
time in this
way and you
were a small in
number you became greater number
again you use the voices to be able to
scream out to God I'm skipping as you
see God brought us to this
place and now I'm taking this which God
gave me which is again God
acknowledgement realizing I am not alone
in this world realizing that God has
done some something for me and then it
says
in I love this what does it say be happy
right be happy just
just be
happy which is also really interesting
because it just now got a little bit
broader it's you and your home and the
Ley and the gar which means there is
this
whole larger community that you are now
a part of again no isolation large
Community going down with others feeling
the sense of community connecting to the
Past believing in the future again
there's just so much here but that's why
I'm really stressing is that there is
this larger conversation and then it
goes on to this second
law again built into our agricultural
laws are going to be civic
responsibility to taking care of the
have not
and they should
be again second time if we needed the
connection both of these laws are
agricultural laws both of the law these
laws are agricultural laws with
declarations with
speaking
right you
commanded I didn't break I didn't forget
which is also forgetting his obligations
from the past in the
presence so person's going to say I did
this not do this out of a sense of
mourning or sense
of that's the Declaration that's the v
as it were I did what God commanded me
to
do and now I call up to God please bre
Bless the people please bless us cause
Divine abundance to come down again all
of this is interesting and then again
all of this for me was an introduction
to the next couple of
verses on this day God commanded you to
perform these you want to quot statutes
that's fine with me to perform these
statutes now what's going to be the
argument among the various commentaries
in terms of what is what does mean how
broadly do I
understand do do I need to explain this
to
you is all 613 Commandments is
everything that was Tau into
is what was just now said in the last
couple of verses what is so I'm going to
say it again what's a contextual context
right a contextual understanding what's
the understanding so people don't
necessarily agree and what is the
context so I'm saying right there you
now will understand again we can look
through the various ronam but I think
you now understand that they're going to
go in every single Direction because
they're not necessarily going to
understand whatever the context is in
the precisely the same
way by the way if you're going to say
it's a narrow interpretation just of
these this section then you'll have to
understand so what is the hul over here
and what is the mishpat over here and
there obviously will be commentaries
will explain that
AEM now what this word her means give me
a couple seconds
also just note the word tar or t over
here because it's somehow going to creep
into all of
this now some of this should remind you
of right
back perut chapter 19 preparations for
her
right we're going to receive the Torah
and you're going to be in you're going
to
be so it is interesting a lot of this is
right here and do we have enough
information
now I'll just point out in case we
missed
it in uh Source number two which is
sorry in Source number two which is
right after this the
we then
get again commanding
today and then it's going to talk about
setting up the stones and going up
to and there is also an
expression it goes back to this point of
joy joy is far as I recall is written
three different times in in these
sources here okay so therefore it does
stress later on the when it says all
these things happen to
you realize that that also is going to
be part of this larger issue good Rashi
Source
three so where is Rashi going on
on right what did
say so what
is rash writ
so Rashia gives a great teaching but
notice how he
totally kind of left darar he left where
we are right over here what's happening
on this day with Moshe and CLA Israel
and he's saying we always need to see
today I'm commanding the Torah what does
he say we always need to see every day
we need to see as if the Torah is given
that day some of you recall there's a
missional like this as well there's
other teachings like this as well now
this is on the one hand wonderful but on
on the other hand you notice you could
have said this at any given time because
any given day you need to see is it
which means there's nothing special
about this rather we saying oh you need
to the meaning in a sense what rashi's
doing is he's not explaining why it's
here he's explaining it could be
anywhere because every day you need to
see as if the Torah is been
given and you need to guard them and to
do it and so far and he
says and then a voice comes out from
heaven and
blesses so now you realize in this next
comment Rashi does the opposite he takes
it back and connects it to the Bikur but
he also says something which we're going
to explain a lot as we proceed and that
is he says that
man does something and then there will
be a Divine response that's really
important because how many times do we
do something but we don't necessarily
sense or feel in an intimate way the
Divine response we hope that that's the
case we pray that that's the case but
Rashi is saying over here is that over
here when we do the Bikur and notice
what just now happened BM just now got
connected to accepting the
Torah okay meaning that's exactly the
point that I was saying did Rashi say
this clearly absolutely not do you now
understand this I hope
I
hope excuse
me I don't I don't think that's
necessarily the
case I I understand I I don't think
that's necessarily the case especially
over here in this
section but there's going to be these
respond
saying hopefully you'll be able to do
this again next year as well that's also
great especially when you keep in mind
of all the coming if you mess up then
this and this and this is going to
happen
Soom the the in Source number four is
going to go even further and I have to
remind you something about the
the Berlin
thean his commentary on the Torah is the
the classes that he gave in the Yeshiva
by the way not every
Rosa would teach Kish he taught Kish
so you always have to keep in mind when
somebody is giving a lecture who the
audience may be and then what's the
point of it so the NV does this a number
of times he uh he goes again I'm reading
into it but he goes into full rosh Shiva
mode and over here he's talking about
the importance of learning Torah which
which should not be a surprise but he
also did what Rashi does but again Rashi
may have backed away from it he goes
even stronger the sense essentially
ignoring the context remember I told you
sh is going to be the context but what's
the context so he says over
here so the first thing that he does is
that he quote unquote this is Rashi by
saying yeah Rashi gave a Das over here
so you would expect again what's the
opposite of Das is going to be I'm going
to tell you theot
right so right there if again if it
sounded like I was you know kind of
maybe claiming that wasn't exactly so
now you have the NV saying of black and
white yeah you know the D that he gave
that's like the biggest you know pushing
it
down and what can you do we need to know
you can't take something outside
of it talks again that
day and this is in contrast to which
means there's something new
here what is really the special concept
of what's taking place in this par who
so okay this is all very fair what he's
saying that this is really an
introduction to this New Covenant which
will take place at the end of the 40
years so he's saying now this is not the
same thing as it is not what Rashi is
saying this is moving forward it's this
new bread and there's one really
important component and what is it
what we were warned right
now we were told that we need to be to
come up to new things as we're learning
Torah to make applications of Torah to
make it relevant all that's great but I
don't know how he got any of that from
these and he goes on in this for a
while made Moshe
so essentially saying No this is all
about how we learned Torah that was the
again source for in
continuing and we'll get to that we'll
get back to the tarum
soon by the way even though he quotes
the Z as saying this everybody quotes
the zor saying this whether the zor
actually said this or not is another uh
discussion there was a wonderful whole
collection of books books written by uh
somebody who identified himself as
sh those of you who have know who he is
one of probably the greatest bibliograph
of uh of the generation lived in a
little apartment in mearm and uh on all
kinds of phrases and terms like that
that everybody quotes he goes back and
shows well who was the first one and Who
quotes it this way and does it actually
say that so I'm 99% sure in this case he
pointed this out as well that it's not
exactly like that um I'm I'm going to
kind of pause on this but what nav is
doing over here is he's moving over
completely in terms of this is all about
learning Torah it's all about connecting
to God by Torah and essentially what he
did is he took it out of the context
that we had seen and what's the the
context the the land most importantly
the land the Bikur that that's that's
really good what Jerry said it's like
how do you start with kavo how do you
continue with the to how do you continue
again I'm I did this out of sequence
with going into the land and the and so
on and so forth and then just kind of
ignore Israel and you can now be saying
this DHA in your Yeshiva inan and say
you know what this is really all about
this is all about learning Torah some
say this is great and the best part of
it is and he said oh look at rashi rashi
tried to Sayad here and Rashi is notat
I'm going to tell you whatat is so again
I'll just leave that I'll leave that to
you the ran in Source number five says
again back to that same verse
he what is he
saying that the job that Moshe had in in
sa of repeating and teaching the Torah
has now come to its completion this was
the final laws and that's why after
these two laws by the way you notice
something also then these two laws are
not important or special they just
happen to be the last two and really
what's taking place with it me why is
there this Matan Tor type of statement
again what did Rashi do because every
day is like Matan Tor what do the what
did the NV do no the whole thing here is
about learning Toran moving forward
about what does the ran say that now
we're completing moshe's task in terms
of teaching over the
Torah in Source number
six he quotes this great teaching this
by the way was back to us being here for
40 years he says that mosha now at the
end of 40 years retes something there's
a great
passage of the gamarra that says that it
will take a student 40 years to
understand their
teacher it says you know when you're
young you think you got it and then go
he goes now is this connected that that
that to 40 you get to Bea you get to
understanding get so he says that now
we've completed the 40 Years of mosha
teaching am Israel that now they now
they're finally getting
it well some of them may have been quite
young I don't know if there's a complete
replacement of the population but but
but especially think about somebody who
may have been 15 years old when they
leave Egypt and uh and now you know 40
years later now they're 55 and now say
okay now they begin to understand what
mosha had been
teaching so uh so as I said I couldn't I
couldn't skip over
that so now remember from the beginning
I told you context context so therefore
what is context so that's what
everyone's disagree with with what is
the context is this context the entire
Torah is this context the sa is this
context which means what is context once
I know context now I know whatat is and
nobody agrees what the context is which
is why they don't agree what theat is I
I I hope that's really clear and really
simple because I think sometimes people
kind of just get lost oh he said this
and he said not understanding where
they're coming from they're all trying
to do the same
thing and
finally ends
up noticing what do these two laws have
in
common these are agricultural laws
entering into the land that this is part
of this new mean it's not just randomly
oh now mosha completed all the laws it's
not just no this is K and that's why
it's so
important
the in Source number
eight go in the same kind of direction
also yeah he
says every commanded and then he goes
on which means previously these laws
which are agriculturally based perhaps
were studied in the desert but they
weren't practiced which means what we're
being told Now by mosha is now we're
moving from study
preparation to implementation all this
is getting real now so so I'm going to
say it again
that context makes a big
difference the
farno and my strong ion here and we'll I
don't know if we'll come back and when
not today the this forign not has here
in his mind I'm sorry I'm reading this
Forno's mind he has over here in his
mind some issues that go back to the
beginning of B including the lack of
clarity that takes place when one eats
from the Tree of knowledge of of Good
and Evil and what's between the lines
over here you have to trust me on all
this what's between the lines over here
is he's actually dealing with the first
couple of chapters of the of the guide
for the perplexed and essentially what
happens how man is changed when they sin
with eating from the tree and what
eating from the Tree of knowledge of
Good and Evil does in order to cause
confusion so over here he
writes so interesting again what is the
context that he's that he's looking at
that there's about to be a covenant and
we're about to again make a Brit see the
Brit then helps you with everything
including the to because those that
again I'm going to say is this is the
fine print what does it mean
here right again all of you if I would
have just asked you out of context what
do those words remind you of what would
you have told me would have
said so pay attention to
that means that you understand without
any doubts that this is what you need to
do to serve God so that's what I'm going
to say again that's really interesting
because following the BM the first
fruits which are there to do a Tik of
the first fruits and the first fruits
cause confusion between good and evil
what happens when you eat from a tree of
knowledge of Good and Evil it causes
confusion look what the sper saying over
here and now hopefully when you perform
this Mitzvah the land of
Israel right being the land that causes
one to be wise it's going to cause
Clarity that's really important Clarity
is going to result
that you're not going to have any
confusion that's going to cause you to
do things or to have again go back to B
go back to the Tre that's why I'm saying
it's all here between the lines but you
have to compare this to what he writes
back there in bid but it is interesting
because it seems to be R saying the very
again I'm definitely going way overboard
over here that back in Bara we were in
the Holy place in the Garden of Eden we
ate from this tree of knowledge of Good
and Evil which causes confusion and then
we go off into Exile and now fast
forward to the end of the book of Dum we
had just spent some time in Exile and
now we're about to enter into a holy
place again so hopefully keeping this
mitvah BM and entering into this land is
going to create a situation of clarity
that's I'm just saying that is just so
interesting but that is really what's
emerging from these words of the Soro
but
again I'm not not convinced if you just
read this by itself you would know but
if you went back and I'm being serious
now go back and read this Ferno in
Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of bid then
you'll see exactly what I'm saying
because this is a theme which is there
we we'll we'll see as we continue the
the Batum in Source number
10 so what did he do for you he did
exactly what you would have done by
yourselves and what's that
free association what does this remind
you
of so not pay attention so we have shma
staring at us between the lines it's
also going to be
important
and and that's what it means and he is
going to be telling you now that there's
a in that you need to pay attention
to he's not going to be the only one
telling you this it just happens to be
that in today when we're learning
together he's the first one to tell you
this come on reality is we all should
remember this gar and we're gonna have
to get into the
gar now that should remind you of
something because the already took us
there so now what again this is typical
B what did he do this thematic
understand
what is the theme over here there's
something about by the way what isma
break it down conceptualize what
isma soon we're gonna have right we're
gonna have all
the what's G to be the and each one of
those are going to say right in some
sense what's the
final because what
is it's accepting God as king so over
here there's again he's telling you pay
attention cuz that schma issue is really
here and there's something over here
about kma but I'm going to again insist
note that there's a little bit more than
we understand in Source
11 the
clear he's going again to this
thing and remember that rash that talked
about the you're going to do something
and then God is going to
respond you're going to make your
pronouncements over here and then he
says and then God's going to respond and
going to say that you're inula and so on
again this this Duality and if you read
more about this you'll get it Source 12
is the tarus which I already hinted at
twice the isan so if I go back to yudan
it's
says now I told you
before I didn't translate the word so
what does mean that itself could have
been the only thing that we discussed
today what
is Rashi is going to tell you that Marta
see do I have Rashi over
here yeah that this see if I wrote it
down or not that Rashi is going to tell
you that this is actually what uh a
hepex me leginon but it's not
really it's a word which is used only
one time in an entire text so look at
Rashi for a second in th
13 there's no other source where these
are by the way it's two of them that's
why it's not one it's h so what he's
telling you is again if you look at
sorry and I said I don't know what that
means and
then so remember before I said that
there's an action in The Divine response
it was right over it really was right
here it wasn't that I needed to look in
a commentary to say it it was staring at
us but we don't know what that word
means yet and Rashi already told us that
it does there's no other examples of
this and then Rashi will bring other
examples of this just to drive you crazy
so Rashi
writes but nonetheless it seems to
me it's language somehow of
Separation then am by doing what they're
doing here has separated themselves
from idolatrous foreign
gods in order to accept you as
God and God then has separated you from
the nations of the
world in order to be a special
nation and Rashi after to saying that
there's no other context he
says by the way that itself is
interesting because it's similar to the
word
tet remember I noted that teer was here
and I told you pay attention to
tet you got it you got tet you realize
we're looking for tet
now tet means
Glory they glorify or boast themselves
all the wrongdoers so Rashi quotes
thatu means to Glory Glory is toer toer
is
means to glorify so Rashi thinks that
this word over
here means somehow to glorify and to
make something of significance and
therefore this dual response and action
actional response we glorify God and God
God glorifies us and that's part of this
drama that takes place by harini
good and again by arot
moav Source number 15
is the DAT botos code I I picked him but
we could have picked a whole bunch of
the other of the BOS they all go down
the same path and they're going to all
give multiple interpretations for this
and at this point we're going to try to
squeeze a little as much as we can it's
the time that we have left but he's
going to tell you that and I'm going to
again do this quickly one is he says
that some say that it means om it was a
declaration okay let's start off sorry I
skipped a little bit one let's look at
15 one is means but we don't know what
means but that already we saw was in the
we're going to come back to
that it's a declaration
declaration you declare you declare God
as one and what does God declare God
declar is that you're in good pay
attention Isel so notice that that's a
canum by the way just like the just like
the B did
they both got to Isel now there's a
reason for
this a couple more seconds um some say
that it's it means to exchange that we
exchanged all the other false gods
accepted one through monotheistic God
and God exchanged all other nations only
for us and the other he quotes Ros Amir
vot something which is high up and the
very end
air what's an
air he's talking Arabic now what's
in a prince or a king so he's saying h
means that you coronate God and God
coronates you by the way that itself
should be really interesting all the
balos would go in that same
direction and including getting to much
more modern commentaries they love this
atmology over here but again Rashi
saying oh this is an unusual word it's
an unusual word in Hebrew but it is a
word that we're familiar with from other
Semitic languages and means that you are
declaring God as king I'm going to say
this again how do you declare God as
king well one of the ways we do it is
about when we say that's Mal so keep all
that in mind and
then izra quotes the review Lei same
kind of Direction
ran and now we can finally read the
gamorra in Source
18 now if you're going to if you're
going to De declare God as king what do
you need to do we need to coronate what
else what else does a king
need say it what does a king
need the king in subjects
Palace how do you coronate you put the
crown you here's a man who knows about
Kings you coronate you put you put the
crown on the head keep that in mind
because without it you can't understand
the
gamar source
18 how do you know that God puts on now
this by itself was
inexplicable except I'm explic thing I
don't know except I'm explaining this to
you CU you should have seen this coming
already sh
and so
on
says what exactly does it say in God's
by the way keep in mind now what does it
say in ourain because now you just now
got back to the again what is what is it
saying
God's now the word aritz over here I
think is quite important I think all of
this as a comment to what we now you can
say but what ises that to do with our
can I read a little bit more that's what
it says in
God's and does God really praise Israel
in yes
you coronated God
today and God coronated you today by the
way what does the mid say that God did
by her SII when we coronated God at sini
what is that he put crowns on their
heads now again you may never have
connected those crowns on the heads with
anything else but but keep on going over
here which was why the word Amir right
in Mar what the tum UNC is
translated you unified me as one in the
world you made me as one in the world as
it
says again why quote this verse of all
verses because that's what it says in
the in in the shma we he you had the
hint towards the
shma so now you realize a whole bunch of
the commentaries had this gamarra either
open in front of them as they're
explaining arsim course the gar quoted
arim and they saw this as the larger
issue which is taking place again this
coronation which is taking place men
coronating God God car and that's the
Amir that's the Amir and that's really
interesting that we all become princes
which again shouldn't be surprising
right I am going to make you a nation of
princes I'm going to make you a nation
of priests I'm going to make you a
nation which is is very significant and
therefore putting these crowns on the
head as it were and again on by we
say but again this part of it the Land
part of it can't really be taken out of
this entire equation so now we have two
minutes left there's a long GR in Source
20 and a short GR in Source 21 and they
both will tell you a surprising things
the acceptance of mitzvot as we're about
to enter land of Israel is because the
land of Israel is a whole different
issue which means it gets real over here
he he matter of fact says and you're not
going to believe me so you'll have to
read it inside later maybe we'll look at
the shorter one he says
that accepting God means living in
Israel I'm sorry for anybody who may
hear this and I apologize and he goes so
far to say
is even non-jews if you live in Israel
you have to keep
mitzvot he says it by the way he said it
in both of these sections I'll leave
this for the rest of you to uh to to to
contemplate to try to figure out to uh
to deal with and we're going to skip a
whole bunch and get maybe much more
towards a confusion
for confusion a conclusion for today
this okay I'm I'm if anybody has a bar
mitzvah they need to speak by pay
attention to the Fillin
issue at the very end by Source 31 I
pointed out what are the four
pars right when you're going to enter
into the land so realize
par entering into the land land AR
connected to them last two part of
course
of which means there is this land basis
to it now one of some of the sources
that I skipped are ones which Rashi
quotes the ran quotes izra
quotes that doing
mitv what they're quoting is madash that
says it's practice when we come back to
the land of Israel
