this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com afternoon everyone how's everybody doing [Music] okay nothing in this universe is as concealed as the Creator even the greatest men of all time have not seen the Creator and at the same time nothing in this world is as evident as the Creator now we're going to talk a little bit about weaves okay there are a lot of leaves the Moose there were dozens of moose when you fell asleep and you missed it yeah you know try to try to be very Vigilant because you know you blink and uh you miss them now the gamara tells us in the SEPTA Shabbos at Friday night when you say like two Malachi has come to Heavenly Angels come and they put their hands on your forehead and they say the Tsar [Music] all your sins are forgiven [Music] why would you say that Hulu Friday night are all your sins atoned for what exactly are you accomplishing by saying by Hulu that created the world we all know that we all believe that what exactly is achieved by saying by Hulu saysra Miller from here we see that even something that we already know but a little bit of a more deeper awareness of the Creator is such a powerful moment it's on par with Yom Kippur here you have the fast 24 hours to get atonement and merely by reciting that Hashem created the world and rested on the seventh day that alone is enough to gain atonement on par with Yom Kippur but Cesar Miller if you know it can't be greater than Yom Kippur is the power of ayahulu is only with shuva so it's appropriate Friday night when you say by Hulu before you say by who one should be maharabachuva and then it's provided that it brings a person a deepened awareness of Hashem so now again even though we haven't seen too many uh but you know what they have a lot of in Alaska leaves did you notice that there are a lot of leaves in Alaska so I want to speak about eight miracles of leaves number one did you notice every leaf is horizontal not vertical now that's very difficult because try holding a leaf keeping it horizontal it's nearly impossible and yet the tree is able to hold on to thousands of leaves each one in a horizontal position why why horizontal in order for each Leaf to receive maximum sunlight it's able somehow you can't hold on to the leaf horizontal the tree can hold on to thousands of leaves horizontally in order for them to achieve maximum sunlight number two the glossy deep green side of the leaf is always on the top because the glossy side is exposed to the Sun and it's able to utilize the direct rays of the sun to uh for chlorophyll so that's another miracle of the leaves number three now this is uh the summer months summer months the trees are full of leaves why maximum shade it's very sunny protects uh people animals from the Sun in the winter we want to maximize as much sunlight as we could get so the trees they know it's uh it's cold outside let's drop the leaves in order that people could uh experience as much sunlight as possible now every leaf has Jagged edges why does it have Jagged edges in order to give greater circumference like a shoreline because the circumference is what facilitates inhaling of carbon dioxide so the jagged edges of the leaf really multiplies its ability to uh take in the carbon dioxide every leaf is crisscrossed with veins what are the veins for it's like a network of veins it transports water materials throughout the leaf and at the same time it's a supporting frame the leaf is a very lightweight fabric now the leaves are paper thin actually if you spread out all the leaves of One Tree it could cover Acres of uh area in order to uh it's the Creator uses as little material as possible to create as much surface as possible and then the leaf is coated with transparent plastic something like that which allows the sun to pass through it and at the same time it gives it a certain strength so that chewing insects do not uh chew it so as we mentioned if you if one were to ask where is Hashem every leaf speaks out where is he not so Alaska has a lot of leaves and we're gonna have plenty of time to count each and every one of them okay you know Ruby sholay disc and he could look at a tree and he can tell you exactly how many leaves are on the tree but each one calls out Ma rabbu you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
