I have fond memories as a child sitting by my mother's table and when an interesting food would be brought out and I would ask what is it mum she would always answer it's delicious as if to say you know I'm a good cook you know that I want you to enjoy your food it's gonna be good trust me no need to ask you know when Hashem offered the Torah to the nations of the world and Mount Sinai they responded by asking what's in it and when they heard don't kill don't steal don't commit adultery they said it's not for us whereas the Jewish people did not ask what's in it but they said the wondrous words now say vanish ma we'll do it and then we'll hear what it is what is it that enabled the Jewish people to accept the Torah so unconditionally without asking what's in it so we know that the Torah tells us in part of Cicero the - am prepared the Jewish people for the giving of the Torah with the following words you have seen what I did to MIT Ryan and then I brought you out on eagle's wings and I brought you to me and now if you will surely listen to my voice and keep my covenant you'll be more precious to me than all the nations of the world for all the world is mine you'll be a priestly Kingdom and a holy nation as Shem was saying you've seen how much I've done for you how much I care for you how much I love you trust me I'm giving you something that's gonna make you great that's going to give you everything that you want and everything you need and the Jewish people trusted Hashem and with that trust they accept the datura without asking what's in it you know there are many reasons that we have multics unsure us one of them is the Torah itself is compared to milk as it says in Song of Songs honey and milk lie under your tongue and the tower is compared to that and just like a baby receives milk from its mother the one nutrient that feeds it sustains it and aid and enables it to grow that gives it all that it needs just the one nutrients and it's delicious so - the toner is the one thing that we need that our spiritual growth that will sustain us not nourish us and able to us to grow and it's delicious and it comes as a gift from our parents the creator of the universe so when you have that cheesecake ensures and it's delicious realize it's compared to the Torah which is so delicious that enables us to grow gives us everything that we need everything that we want that we too can say now sevenish MA we wanted give it to us a Shem because it's the greatest gift that we can receive have a one for you hunted
