Chanukah: The Powerful Synergy of the Mezuza and the Menorah

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay good afternoon um as we prepare for shabas you know it's brought down in the I usually don't like to use that expression it's brought down in theum because I like to usually tell you which so we have over here a concept which is well known and that is whatever happens during the week is always alluded to in the shabas before whatever happens in the week is always alluded to in the shabas before theel writes in the and whatever is revealed during the week is in the potential of the earlier shabas writes he says the teach us it's all in the shabas before and he quotes all the blessings of the week are all in the upcoming shabas by the way this past um week upcoming shabas in the pre in the previous shabas I was uh I was in bar Park so I went to a used farm store and I found in this Farm Store something called Kana the all the statements ofel on KH this was given out at someone's Mitzvah it was published as a onetime thing and uhin but I like so uh that's that's what writes and this is a well-known idea that whatever occurs during the week is already included in the earlier shabas so we want to learn a little bit about and the tells us on the second line in number one where do you put the the son of says put on the right side of the door the same side as the ma put on the left side the other side of the M he put on the left side so that is on the left side so you learn this gar innocuously say yeah it's beautiful thing you have the on the right side on the left side but is there any kind of connection is there any conceptual understanding what is this concept that of combining the mza and the usually we sayz we don't do we don't try to bundle Mitzvah together and yet there's a special inion of combining with we find even further there's a right how beautiful how pleasant are the love of Pleasures what is this talking about what is beautiful what is Pleasant the back of you put by the entrance way to fulfill what it says [Music] in to fulfill the how beautiful how pleasant so not only do we have this connection but we have this that extols the beauty of is and which two mitzah does a pick what is the what is the connection what is the concept somehow there's a Synergy of these two Mitzvah we find further that of all the 613 mitzvas there are only two mitzvas that the ram tells us that we have to be exceptionally careful about could you guess what those TZ are says the a person is to be careful with because it's obligatory upon everybody men women always at all times and whenever you enter the door see um you actually even when you're sleeping even when you're it's the only Mitzvah right that you even when when you're sleeping and whenever you enter and leave you encounter the unity of God what do you mean you encounter the unity of God how do you encounter the unity of God when you meet up with the mza because what does it say in the mza and you wake up from your sleep and your and your mistakes your errors that are conditioned upon you because of all the other people living in this world and all the emptiness and what does the say about look at number five the ra writes about is very beloved and you have to be careful with it there are only two mitzah that the ra says you have to be careful with very interesting the says there two mitz yet to be careful and M yeah by the way the links the two mitas in another way thear tells us that in someone who's accustomed to a candle have if you're careful with your candles your shabas candles youra candles you have children Torah Scholars and then it says you have they need a place to sleep so if you're careful with Maza you'll have a nice house one place is one place is what's the difference what one place he say and oh good maybe I don't know good there quoted in the is a that a very fiery safer really um inflames your heart with the love of hasem and he quotes the Z right and the Z says an incredible thing it's m we know we say in how many letters how many letters 24 letters says when you're finished 24 days in Kiss slave then you have Kan there 24 letters in says when you're finished with 24 days what is corresponding to 25 how many letters in sh 25 so when you're finished is corresponds to 25 letters of kishma the Z quoted this from the look at number seven the eight days of after 24 days in which are the 24 letters of then what happens then 25 resides that's God the 2 letters the of God's uniqueness oh you ready for this you know it says a you know where the word Kana comes from the of ISU God rested on Jewish people because of the 25 letters ofish interesting no you didn't hit the ceiling yet God rested on the Jewish people because of the 25 letters ofma says who's is one of the he wrote The Holy work and he writes a secret look at number eight sa I the young one the little one Sab I want to R to you that which was revealed to me without a book and without a teacher in other words what I'm about to tell you basically you know where I got it from no one told it to me no one Tau it to me I didn't see it I never saw it why is called good question he says every y has a connection to what happened P God jumped over our house God gave us because of the lottery where does the name come from all the G says is on the 25th day of is we rested on the 25th day but it has no connection to what happened isn't that when they L the they arested the name name captures the miracle they rested but what was the N we should call it was over so say um the name usually C here we don't have any information about the miracle listen to this he says that we know that it's always good when you teach your students to try to teach it short and sweet cuz who could remember a whole P share so you want to say it in a nutshell right like and if you can't so we want to be able to say that there's one God what document says there one God the Tyra but I'm going to remember so God wanted to give us one sentence that captured one God the of how many letters in that p 25 that's the secret of you want your children to last as long as you have the 25 letters of shma you're set that's the secret of shma when wanted to see if anything good is going to come from here from this person who he's about to kill what does it say he want to see anyone in the family going to be saying no forget if you say sh it's like you learn that's what someone who doesn't have time to learn at least say the first teach me all on one leg the Torah is all inclusive but this is the this is the principle the principle is the encapsulates God's so listen to what he writes you think they had time to learn they had no time to learn they're running from cave to Cave from enemy to enemy they're always on the go because of all thear and all theas they couldn't learn so what could they do and how do they defeat their enemies sh sh that's that was you you know why Kana is called why were they have why did they have rest because of the 25 letters of sh that's that is kanaka that is Kaneka ah and the the lesson is you don't win a war with your brute strength you win a war with God says the what is the main name of Hashem 72 letter name 72 letter name maab is the gatria 72 you know what else it stands for why cuz they but mixed up right now the blood is our uh excuse me so through the the 25 letters and that's how they won the war so what do we see from here that the according to the came from the recitation of shma what is the power of shma what do encapsulate is what right there's one God you don't have time to learn at least do you know the Torah minute whatever they call it do the Torah minute what's the Torah minute that is one of the main functions of a Jew if we were to ask what's the main function of a Jew so writes look at number nine look at number nine a Jew is a witness but you have to know what kind of witness you're not the other kind of witness right we're the real Witnesses right you know who said that Isaiah right the says used to quote this all the time you are witnesses what are we Witnesses of a witness has to do what what does a witness have to do he has to testify sh you're saying AOS right that's why you have the big I in and the Big D you're the aid you're saying you're saying I am a witness there's one God in this world it's the main function of a Jew yeah all that beautiful the main job of a Jew is what do you have to speak testimony on there's one you have to say there's one God in hisus in his which means in his Han you have to testify that no could do anything if God doesn't want that's part of it that's the a of a Jew so if I were to ask you what is the main job of a Jew you're an a you're a witness but we have one other function what the Jew has only one other Function One function is to declare that there's one God but we have one other function we say in daving in I'm not going to give you the clue yet the ran the ran tells us in par that what is the purpose of creation do we have a hi behind [Applause] you thank you van says the famous ran at the end of Pas the ran says what is the purpose of creation what's the purpose of creation Sayan we should be have no let me read to you the words why do say be careful with a small mitah like a big one they all beloved because every time you do [Applause] a person is acknowledging godav of all is that we should believe in God and we should thank him that he created us that's the purpose of creation there is no other purpose of creation and all God wants of us that a person should know and thank God that he created him so in other words aside from what the says the job of a Jew is to Proclaim and testify that there's one God we have one other function the thank hasem that's what we see in daving in God you brought Us close to you for what purpose for two things to thank you and to Proclaim your Oneness so a Jew has two functions in this world to thank hasem and to Proclaim that there's one God I can understand the requirement to to proclaim the the the's Oneness but it's a little bit strange that we put on this world that it's required of us to to give we should want to give because we want to not because we have to oh be that's what it says be we do it with love we do it with love yeah we do want to but what in other words what does it mean to thank Hashem to Proclaim to the world to Proclaim to the world that everything has that hm is good that that there's one God and that hem is good that all the in the world comes from the Reish these are the two functions didn't we learn once that in is when we say the first we have to to to think very uh deeply that we accept the for us and that the sh the second hasem is that we want the all almost all we saidash andem right now that's our God one day he'll be over everybody but again the two functions the two functions of the Y of the jewk and to Proclaim hashem's uniqueness so the ran ran writes in his called look at number 11 if you do a mitah without intent or you do a without contemplation you missed the point but if you think about it for example the raan gives one example let's say you bought a for whatever 50 bucks you put it up in your door and you have intent to think about it what do you accomplish by putting up a Mazza what are you proclaiming to the world who sees your Maza one God that's the purpose of Maza you're fulfilling your mission in this world you're proclaiming to the world they passed by what does it say in the M what does it say in that M fine that's the purpose of mza mza fulfills the purpose of one second one second so why does the ram say you have to be careful with why not why not shab because of all the functions of the Jew the most important one is what you have to Proclaim that there's one God how about the ram writes that what is the function of the Mana of Thea look at number five again why to make the miracle known and to add to God's praise and by lighting the candles you're adding to his thanks everybody knows why do we light the man what's the man is a form of so by letting them know you're fulfilling the second function of the world and that is like the ran said God created the world so that a human being could thank Hashem so the mza is is fulfilling then fulfilling so the conglom the sinergy of mana and mza is unparalleled where do you ever have an example we're in one location the two main functions of this world are being fulfilled this is not my own this is from the ofon and the say for he adds don't have on the before we say us every day but here it's at one time both both MIT in conglomerate we know say after ding on Kana so what do we say m here okay so we would say it's a it's a nice thing you say it you don't say it so the son of the number 14 in he points out that this is not just a song that's you know a good song to say because we say the word David made this mmar right David came before Kana right everybody understand that is in the is before so DAV is writing this song 700 years approximately 700 years before why said that they should sing it is g to be after 410 of the first 70 of the second 200 years of the of the second and David wrote it so that they should have it in their back pocket when the miracle of Kaneka happens so I have one question for you so you would expect that this should be a chapter about lining the Mana and spinning the drle and eating lus and eating those chocolate coins right dedic so if wrote it for the dedication of the second mikdash guess how many words talk about the dedication of that second B mikdash zero it has absolutely nothing to do with the dedication of so what is and even more than that the does everybody know that the held you don't say things after you now to add to the end of ding officially the did not say the gr did not say all these things that are added the gr did not say however however not only the said that on you don't say the you say it's the of he has a whole list right it's the she of what does it got to do with Kan follow what follow those who follow I'm not personally familiar that's what the greld in any event usually follow this yeah in any event what does it got to do with Kaneka so what are we learning what are we learning we're learning is Kana first of all what was the Mantra of the what was their Clarion call they went around filling the great mission in this world of so what was their says says oh you fulfilled part A I'll give you that's Part B you fulfilled the 25 letters of I'll give you so sh is the great fulfillment of the combination of the two main functions of the Jew what do we say in when I was Ill what benefit will you have if my blood goes down I'm buried can I thank you can I speak your truth what do the words mean can I speak your truth what is truth when you talk about hasem what does it mean to speak the truth of hasem so says like this on the it says in the that they wrote the words of peace and Truth what does that mean the mill words of truth we learn from this that M needs you can't just write a Milla but you have to etch the lines like the truth of the T the t is and the T you have to make lines so just like the T what the get you do also okay no I'm saying anytime you have no not anytime we'll see in a minute you have to etch lines in Milla just like the truth of the Tyra we'll see like the truth of the ask doesn't need you don't have to lines on the so what is thear mean that you have to etch lines oniga like the truth of the T says the truth of the T doesn't mean refer to the whole T there's a certain part of the T that's considered the truth of the T what does that mean not as opposed to the opposite but it means the on the highest possible LEL says what is the truth of the the is the truth of the T why the declares there one God when you refer to Tyra as truth you're referring to and therefore when the says in God what benefit do you get if I'm in the grave can I thank you can I speak your truth what do you think it means can I speak your truth I can't declare your Oneness you see from tus Your Truth refers to your and that's what the ra when the said you know what it means only God is true no one else is true when we say what does it mean raise your hand if you say ever said those words before what do you mean God is true as opposed to what what's what's the alternative what do you mean yeah you say it every day you have any idea what it means what does it mean says you know know what it means god is true it means there is nothing but God he's the only thing he's the truth of God means the the uniqueness of God so you know why M you know what it has to do with because what is is the Fulfillment of the two main functions of the Jew that's that's and that's what we express that is why this is a cap for We wish you a wonderful and upcoming you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by
