this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com as as the CM for the indion of of this great that we have with us we're going to ask a question a question I hope it will bring something of the question is as we're coming towards element of and we're going to do our learning whatever for pin what would the raw suggest many people everyone has something to be misin something they can take a step further what would you suggest is a step small step that you've seen before can lead to many big steps oh I'm going to tell you something that I don't know what it is man it's something that I feel personally and I have a very strong sensitivity toward it and I don't know if someone else would say the same thing I can only tell you what I think and I think one of the biggest challenges of our time for young people is they're they're Tethered to their phone and we're Tethered to our phone and it's Mafi Kat every single aspect of our life whatever we're involved in but it's you know B that and the phone taking a picture of it recording it looking at it being interrupted by it and the way D kadus work it's a way it's like a phone I'll give you a m my phone you know when you get a phone that's new so then you could use it the whole day and it's then by other day it SS 60 % and like 5 months later at the end of the day it's on 10% and like 3 months later after 2 hours it's almost dead right and then you want to charge the phone so here's the M when you charge a phone and you charge a phone for 3 minutes it goes up 1% when you charge it for 10 minutes it goes up like 5% when you charge it for an hour it goes up 6% it doesn't go up commens with amount of time it needs cons consistency once it gets really warmed up that's when the charging takes place it's the same thing with Ras if you think you're going to learn for 40 minutes but it's going to be a minute and a text and a minute and a what and a minute and an emails you never warm up and you could go through a liod and it's not really Mash on you because it's you're not giving yourself over to the learning you're not immersing yourself over to learning same thing with Fila the most important thing you could do in your life is you take a cabala you don't bring a phone into doesn't belong there it can't be there you cannot have a phone on you and D so person has to make a fine decision am I an orthodox religious Jew if you are can't have a phone period cannot be in the if you have your phone on you you're not what's is you're going to Ser with all your heart now we all know even if we don't have our phone on us it's hard to Hashem with all your heart but if you have a phone on you you're not even trying you're not even giving it a shot because your your attention is divided your filo will change forever your learning will change and it will make your life easier nobody could bother you during Tyra Anda just don't have it on you leave it in the car to me that's the single most important thing that you could do otherwise you can never charge yourself up you can't you can't charge yourself up your pH your spiritual battery will always REM remain on like you know you know how the phone when it's on 5% you can't say sometimes can't take a picture and the Flash doesn't work and you know I can't use the cam scan there's There features that don't worth when you're on low same thing ruus you want to make sure you're fully charged to be fully charged you got to be plugged in with consistencies so my humble suggestion and uh in my show we have something called cell phone Locker you can't you cannot walk into our show with phone you can't come in the show I allow people in man they have no to walk in with a phone otherwise you're not you're you're you're doing like um you're doing like ancient lip service to the the custom of the ancient Hebrews who used to daing so you're coming to show with the phone and you're go like this you're not actually daing you're just like paying homage to the old Jewish custom OFA if you have the phone on you and you're looking you're not actually learning you're like remembering the ancient practice of Jews who used to learn back in the day learning means it's immersive daving is immersive Rus is immersive you have to at least try to be fully um given over to it I think that small step one small step for man one large step for mankind you know that that could be very um lock what AR for some Lockers in the front have to and and you know you always have to be careful what you ask I couldn't have asked for better you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
