We have a very interesting minhug onra we take out three the first one we read the second one boracious the third one from pinas the ma formatas but there's a big question nowhere in shas is it found that we should take out a sorra and read boratious it's only a minhug so firstly it's out of order if it's only a minor for the ma from pin should certainly come first. It's goes before minog. Secondly, it's it should also go before. And why do we read borious? It's not mentioned in shas. But there's a very important idea. It's brought in 1,279 says the med tells us that whenever we finish something, we're concerned for the kit of the Satan. We're concerned for the prosecution, the accusation of the Satan. the Satan's going to accuse us and say he's going to say we're resting on our laurels. We're just going to stop here and we're not gonna continue forward. And therefore, we make sure to start borious and it's so important to start berious that we do so immediately. It's part of the part of laning is continuing with berious. We even don't split it up with the kadesh. We say the kadesh after the batious to indicate that we never stop. The Torah is a continuous journey. As soon as you finish, you go right to the beginning. The writes in the that's the reason why we lay in the halfra from Yeshua to show we're not just finishing. We're immediately starting. It's even brought in the minar like be page 4 438 that there was a custom to start learning Mishnay to show we're learning from toan to Mishna we're continuing on our journey we don't we're concerned for the kitrug of the satan it's even brought in the alf some cite this from the alya that the reason why is the conclusion of ding is because it's always the start of It's also the start of dabing and we're indicating that just when we're finished, we go back and we're ready to start again. We're ne we never rest on our laurels. We never say we're finished. We always continue on again and again. In fact, the story is brought about the panacher, he would always begin a new project even before he completed the previous one. He said he doesn't want heaven to ever look down and say, "Okay, he's finished. Maybe now is a good time to get him to bring up his soul." This is one of the reasonings of why it's so important to begin borious right away. And therefore, the stipler says, if you notice the difference between the of we say just get up, get up, get rise, rise, rise. borious there's a rush there's urgency because when we finish something it's urgent we start again immediately so too we now begin the week of bacius we should start right away with renewed in uh with renewed energy with renewed enthusiasm if you look in the beautiful language of we it speaks about the yearning we have the aspiration we have to be able to squeeze squeeze out and suck out the delectibility and the glory from renewed study of safe air. That's one aspect of why we begin various. Another aspect we mentioned based on the schla based on that the says thera is the is stuck connected the end to the beginning. The Torah is not linear. The Torah is circular. The beginning is stuck into the end. The of is like a flame on a coal. A flame is not even a separate entity. The flame is actually part of the coal. The flame is embedded in the coal. So too, the beginning of the Torah is not a new entity. It's not a separate from the end of the Tory. The beginning of the Torah is embedded in the end of the Torah. Boratious is embedded in Israel. And therefore, we immediately start borious to show. And we suggest that that's one of the reasons for the to show the Torah is not linear, it's circular. But actually there's a very deep and compelling reason another reason why we begin berious as soon as we finish the med teaches came to and he said ask I'll give you whatever you want could have asked for money for wealth for assets for real estate for honor asked Please give me a heart of understanding. Says it's analogous to someone who the king offers anything in the world. And the person was very smart and sharp and said if I ask for money all get money. If I ask for wealth or honor I'll only get that. My idea is I'll ask for the king's daughter then I'll get everything. So too Schlommo asked for Le Sha and Hashem said I'll give you everything. The Pik says immediately. From here we learn out that you can make a suda for the completion of the Tyra. From here we learn out you should make a suda. that the suda you make for the completion of Tyra has significance. The source of the is the suda of when hem gave him lea. So ask for how can this serve as a precedent to make a suda schlommo didn't finish anything he didn't learn anything he wasn't making a suda for making a he was making a suda because hashem gave him a sha must be we see from here says salvichek that the joy of aum is not the joy of completion actually it's attributed to rabikar why don't we say the braha says, "If anything could be a source of when you think how deficient your knowledge of the topic is, how deeper you could have learned it, how more thorough you could have learned it, how much better you could have understood it. The joy of a seam is that upon completion of a topic, having learned the topic bestows upon you a heart of understanding and that equips you to renewed study and deeper analysis. It allows you to engage in the topic in a much greater way than ever before. The joy of a seam is not the joy of completion. It's the ability to start again a new with a fresh perspective and a fresh start with excitement with enthusiasm with therefore the joy of completing voa is not the completion of it's the lea that the completion of the Tory offers you that now equips you to start boricious again. Therefore, we suggest the reason we start immediately is to show the joy of the summ is not just the completion of the Tyra but the ability to start a new with a le sha. And interestingly, the last letter of the Tyra is a lamid. The first letter is a B to indicate that what a what completing Torah grants a person is the le where is the lammed segways into the bay and now you have a new le sha to begin to pursue tyra knowledge with new understanding. The beautiful lash shine of the kassan beratious is that we are so enthusiastic to be able to savor and suck out the delectable juice of the glory and majesty of the Tyra. So we now have the opportunity to pursue with great enthusiasm and great drive and great excitement boracious like never before and that was given to us and gifted to us upon the conclusion of and it's a joyous time a joyous time of the year to begin boracious boracious everyone We should be to understand the with new depth and new understanding.
