we're in a in Panama so what do we what do you want to learn about what should we learn about we're learning a lot okay yeah very good how are you my name isris Morris nice to see you okay guys guys uh it's very interesting so what what's your name says that you're learning actually not is very connected to this week's what's interesting is when a boy starts learning the first he usually learns is why he should learn he should start with the beginning of the he should learn to say he should learn why do we learn about if you find the lost object who do who does it belong to this week every single year is the H the yard site of rant you ever hear rabant RAB salant was the founder of the M movement what's m movement in the world in the mind of his goal was to make all the mitv in the Tor equal meaning there's some that people treat very seriously for example yum kipur people were eating kosher but maybe when it comes to stealing or cheating especially you know people rationalize said the same Tor that said don't eat on Yip also said don't take a penny that doesn't belong to you so the that R's yard site is always weak of talks about monetary law and RAB elevated the status of monetary law that it should be equal to other in the Tor actually it's very interesting you know Yip different Kim would do different things you know you can imagine how sadim would prepare for Yip so some sikim they would go to the mik and they would dunk in the Mikvah 10 times 100 times like with big cavote what did R salant do yur he would go around to every Sho he would go first he would go home he would go to the tool box he would take a hammer he would put the hammer in his jacket he would hide it under his jacket he would go into every betet and he would look at the chairs and if there was a nail sticking out of the chair he would bang in the nail and then he would go upstairs to the ladyes section and if there was a nail sticking out of the wall or the chair he would bang in the nail and he would go to every single betet in the city and bang in the nails and they said what do you don't have anything better to do on AR than banging Nails says this is the biggest mitvah that you could do because the owner of the je if one nail tears somebody's pants or somebody's dress he's a ghav he's a he's a robber he stole money from him so the biggest mitvah you could do is not take money from somebody else if you have money in your pocket that doesn't belong to you the biggest mitah in the Tora is make sure you don't have money that doesn't belong to you that's what I'm going to just share one uh very powerful idea who is the greatest Navi in the history of the Jewish people M all the other prophets they prophesied with the word Co you know what Co means Co means they didn't see exactly what Hashem said it was basically what Hashem said it was a little bit fuzzy hazy you know but all the other very good cuz his sister's getting married tomorrow so he knows right but but prophe pure a very clear Vision what was the first Vision M had the first time God spoke to him was by the SN the burning bush yeah that means until that moment in time no God never spoke to anybody in history with a Clear Vision until then it was very unclear uh reception you ever go like sometimes you go to the hotel in Panama you have no reception on your phone it's like you try to make a phone call to New York you can't get through you know it's anyway so that means when God speaks to mosha at the burning bush it was the clearest in the history of the world so I always wondered what did M do right before that that he was to this Clear Vision he must have done something very holy you know what he did the Tora says mosha was a shepherd and he took his sheep into the desert says Rashi why did he take his sheep into the desert not to steal the grass of somebody else oh God says w a big sadic he doesn't steal money that's that's the Great ACT of moshu that God spoke to him you know we have to always remember when you want to become holy you want to be a big sadic and people say what should I do should I go to mik should I should I fast you know what you should do you should not steal other people's money that's the holiest thing you could do therefore the first thing that we teach a kid this belongs to you and this belongs to your friend you know R once saw a group of sikim they started to learn sh they started to learn they started to learn shabat said you're doing the wrong thing why ra is mostly the ran Shabbat mostly the ranan they said what should we learn we should learn it's all what you what you own and what you don't own is so the first step in Aliah is D so you're doing a very good thing and I appreciate a few minutes to share with you d t
