Parshas Bahaloscha - Doing the Motions with the Emotions

[Music] [Applause] [Music] the parish begins with a commandment to Aon to light them in the POS then says that Aon did so Rashi explains that it's a praise to Aon that he didn't deviate from the Commandment now the difficulty with this is of of course AR didn't deviate from the Commandment I mean he's not the CL go for nothing it's like praising a major league baseball player that he knows that'll hold her back of course he knows that'll hold the B that's the ABCs of the game of course Aron Aion doesn't devate from the Commandment there once a flag boy in Russ whose job was to wave a lantern to direct trains to go to the right to go to the left to stop to go one night a mistake happened which resulted in a major train accident now in Russia there's no room for mistakes you make a mistake it's off with your head so the flag boy is sitting there in the courtroom and the judge says sir will you buy the train tracks Monday night 10 p.m. and he says yes your honor and the judge says sir did you see the oncoming train and he says yes your honor and the judge says sir did you wave the lantern he says yes your honor the judge says case is dismissed the defendant is innocent the prosecutor law jumps up and he says judge you forgot the main question and the judge says he's by the tracks he saw the oncoming train and he waved the Lantern and he said judge you forgot the main question was the lantern lit waving a lantern without the fire inside is nothing this Fus explains Rashi that Rashi is talking about Aon ha's attitude towards towards mitus that's what never changed his level of enthusiasm and excitement as the first day he lived him manura lasted throughout his life lifetime mitus never got born they never got sail you know prayer is not just about lip service and doing Commandments is not just about doing the Motions it's the fire we have inside it's the excitement we have for the midst of this the same way we put on filling when we're 13 years old with that excitement that's supposed to last us a lifetime it's doing the Motions with the emotions [Music] is
