What an
awesome that we stand at
the light of the
world. The author
of passed away
on 1821.
What's interesting in is who remembers
what day was born? He was born on the
day of the execution of the which was
the second day of
Zion 1749. So he was born on Zion. He
passed
away. The tells
us Hashem fulfills the
years of the from day to day. In other
words, are born and pass away on the
very same day. So the
student asked so why
was he was born on Zion and he passed
away doesn't hashem make
sadikim he creates them and he takes
them away on the very same day says it's
because a person is really born on the
day of
their was
born his mil was so he passed away on
the very the same day he was born. So
asks
butu and they were born passed away on
the very same day. No because they were
born they were
born circumcised
already. He was born on Zion 1749. He
passed away
says there's no
[Music]
doubt. If there would be a moment of
time that somewhere in the world someone
was not learning
Tyra the whole world would cease to
exist the world would
disintegrate when we say that the is the
life force of the world
it's literally what pumps vitality into
the world
is and therefore
instituted that there were mishmarim
learning tyra around the clock famously
said that's the reason for time zones so
that when the Jews in America are
getting up then the Jews in could go to
sleep the reason for time zones is so
that 24 hours a day there's always being
pumped into the world legend has it the
mother of majnar used to house someone
who would ultimately become one of the
rabbi namely the shagasarian
And when it came time for the mother of
to give birth, she didn't want to
disturb the shagasar. So she went off
into the corner to give birth so as not
to cause any cessation to learning the
shagasar. Shagasar saw the care that she
had that his learning should not be
interrupted. He was the mother
of that she to a son whose will fill the
whole world. But according to what we're
saying, he was to have someone who
instituted that the cultyro would never
cease in the entire world because he
taught the world that what the world
stands on is actually there's another
version of the story
that she wanted her child to hear the
learning of the shagasar as he would be
born. So she he was
born was born to the cultra of the
shagasar. Ultimately the learned by the
shagasar he learned by hamburg but his
life was changed at age 19 when he
became the primary disciple of the
villag. At age 26 he became the rav here
in he opened the shiva in 1803.
I want to just share with you two things
that the
teaches teaches us. If you look at the
introduction
to he says that his father would always
tell
him this is the purpose of
man was not created for
himself but to benefit and to help
others in whatever capacity possible.
that one of the great teachings and
lessons of is that man was not created
for himself but to benefit as many and
others as possible. You know it's
interesting the says
that only gives wisdom to the
wise God only gives wisdom to the wise.
So asks so how does somebody get the
first bit of wisdom? But God only gives
wisdom to the wise. How do you get the
first case of wisdom? And then says the
first piece of wisdom
is in order to acquire in this world.
One
needs what do we make
on
the he who gives from his wisdom to who?
Those who fear
him is receptical to the more you have
the more you could have. Now says what
is our attitude to our Tory? We say the
Tory
is it is a tree of life to
who? To those who grab a hold of it.
Says imagine somebody who fell into a
raging river and is threatened to be
taken down in by the river to be drowned
by the river and the person is about to
go is about to go under and he sees
there's a branch from a tree overhanging
the river and he knows if he grabs a
hold of this branch it could save his
life. How is he gonna hold that branch?
Is he gonna say, "Well, I'm a righty.
Let me try with my left hand, with my
left pinky, and see if I could rescue
myself." No. That person is going to
grab onto that tree with all of his
might and all of his energy, and he's
not going to let go at all. says in this
world is a torrent is a raging river
that threatens to take us under. But we
have a a salvation and that salvation is
the but the will only save us if we
embrace
it. Taught
us the Torah is a tree of life but
only to those who grab it with all of
their heart and all of their soul.
