As soon as we finish voa, we immediately begin boratious. We always say the reason is we don't want the satan to say, you see, they finished voa, they're finished. They're resting on their laurels. They're not going to continue. They don't plan on adding to their wisdom. So, we silence the satan and we immediately start beracious and we explain that's why as soon as we finish the Tory, we immediately begin nim. There was even a custom to begin Mishnayas. But there's more to it. It's not only to silence the satan. Actually, the deeper reason why we immediately begin boratious is because the Torah has not finished. The Torah is not a linear document. It's circular. The writes the Torah is the end is hooked in. The end is attached. The end is stuck to the beginning. The lion of safer is heaves like a flame tied to a coal. The end is tied to the beginning. The reason we begin beracious is because the place for boracious is after the word is the Torah is not linear. It's circular. And to perhaps to indicate that we dance in circles on indicating the Torah is not linear. We're finishing call you s boracious. It's a neverending love fest. It's a neverending rendevu. It's a neverending exploration and journey with in fact the rea is inu on the ninth parag of braas explains the reason why rabaka holds the word s is bis is because alf is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. tough is the last. So in a sense it locks everything in and it should end there. But no, we know that nothing is locked into the Tory. So it must be an expression of expansiveness and therefore it's balis as of writes that the reason why we begin as soon as we finish is to demonstrate Also the writes in is found in when we're messy we immediately begin and this is a very deep reason why we immediately begin boratious and as we're dancing round and round. We remember the Tyra is not linear. The Tyra is the is the great circle, the neverending connection. So with great excitement, we simultaneously complete and begin boracious sashim.
