Rabbi B - The Ten Commandments

[Music] when hashem gave us the torah on har sinai hashem also gave us 10 very special mitzvahs called the ten commandments the asaret hadibroth and these ten commandments are very very special and very important mitzvahs that we can do now it's very hard to remember all 10 of the 10 commandments and it's even harder to remember them in order so rabbi b is going to teach you today a special hand trick that i learned from my friend danny how to remember the ten commandments using your fingers so let's start with the first one mitzvah number one i am hashem your god hashem echad so you can remember number one there's only one hashem very good number two you can make yourself like bunny ears you know how to do that we do it like this that's like bowing down we're not allowed to bow down to idols as hashem says don't have any other gods only one so one is one hashem two don't bow down to idols number three now the way i remember number three is my three fingers look like the letter shin in hebrew and the letter shin begins the word shame name so i remember do not say hashems shame hashem's name in vain we're not allowed to say hashem's name for no reason unless we're davening or we are reading some torah or tahilan so that's one way another way you can remember is name in vain is three words long we're not allowed to say hashem's name in vain all right very good number four number four is to remember the day of shabbat so i always imagine we have two candles on shabbat and two khalas two khalot so two candles and two khalot at the shabbos table at the shabbat table remind me of four so that's the number four the mitzvah of keeping shabbat and honoring shabbat number five is five special words honor your mother and father that's five special special words honor your mother and father or even in hebrew so mitzvah number five of the aceret hadibroth is honor your mother and father great job you're halfway there number six all right number six number six is do not kill we're not allowed to hurt anybody so i always remember this because this person looks like he's trying to hurt people there's a bad guy over here and he's trying to hurt the other fingers over here so number six of the ten commandments is do not kill and of course do not hurt anybody as well number seven the mitzvah number seven of the aserata dibrat is the mitzvah that we have to make sure we have a kosher family that a mommy and a daddy are married to each other and not married to other people so this side shows two people and that's good that's a mommy and a daddy being married together on this side we have five people can five people get married to each other not according to the torah so number seven is to have a good and kosher family according to the torah all right do you remember all seven so far number eight hmm number eight is do not steal don't try and steal things so i always imagine number eight like this hand is trying to steal and that's three words do not steal so this hand is trying to steal and this hand says do not steal do not steal ah don't steal stealing means taking something that doesn't belong to you do not do it all right mitzvah number nine number nine is you have to always be truthful and never tell a lie the problem with my number nine is i'm hiding a finger you see my finger here i'm hiding it i'm keeping something from telling you the truth i'm not telling you i'm saying look that's all my fingers but really i'm lying i'm hiding a finger so never ever tell a lie that's number nine and the last mitzvah of the assailta di broth of the ten commandments is not to be jealous of what other people have now jealousy is a feeling when you feel no fear this person has a lot right look at my ten fingers you might feel jealous oh i have everything well that might make someone feel jealous if you show them your fancy toys and fancy cars and fancy clothes and fancy things so we want to make sure not to feel jealous that's what i show with my ten fingers look i have everything nan and annette are you going like this making someone feel jealous that would be a not nice thing all right let's see if you remember all ten commandments here we go number one one hashem number two don't bow down to idols number three don't say hashem's name in vain don't say hashems shame number four keep shabbat nice and holy great job number five that was a good one that was a hard one honor your mother and father make sure you do that one number six right don't kill or hurt people number seven have a kosher and jewish family very good number eight right don't steal number nine remember i'm hiding a finger don't tell a lie always tell the truth and number ten write don't be jealous of what someone else has and those are the asera tadibroth the ten commandments well wishing you and your family a very happy hag shavuot a very happy time of receiving the torah and learning and keep on doing all those mitzvahs and we'll see you next time bye bye rabbi b loves hearing from fans please send any questions fan mail or drawings to rabbib music gmail.com
