this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com it's very interesting you know when rivka's family asks her you want to go with this man you want to go marry Yitzhak they say let's ask her says Rashi from here we see we don't marry a woman off unless she consents and then the next question says they called rivka and they say to her are you going to go with this man and she said Taylor she said she's gonna go so Rashi explains what is it what does it mean I will go she says may ask me I'm going to go on my own even if you don't want why did Rashi say that when rivka said I will go she meant I'm going even if you don't want because they asked her do you want to go so the correct answer should be yes she didn't answer yes she says I will go which means even if you don't want I will go but the question is why is rivka starting up with them they asked her a very simple straightforward question do you want to go so just answer yes why does she need to answer even if you don't want I'm gonna go anyway they're not saying they don't want they're asking her if she wants so she should say yes why does she need to say this why does she need to instigate but see at this time we could explain according to the morale who has a very fundamental approach to enter the contradiction that we don't want to Hashem offer the third class so claudiusma we will perform the Tyra and then we'll hear what it says we're going to accept the tarah willingly and nevertheless it was kapha alayam compelled us to receive the Torah he suspended the mountain over our heads like a barrel and the question is why did Hashem have to force us if we were willing to accept it morale explains that the Torah is so fundamental and important and crucial in the whole world depends on it and the whole existence of the universe depends on it the Torah can't Brea up to discretion the Torah can't be something that I do it because I want the Torah has to be compelled to indicate the world must have the Torah this can be left up to a person's desires yeah a person can't say yeah I keep the tongue because I want to keep the Tyra I once heard in the name of Ramos Shapiro that that's the Indian of that even though we accept the Torah willingly but there has to be a certain element of compulsion in our life that we have to do it because this is there has to be Torah in our life so that's what Rifka is telling her parents don't think that I'm going through with this because you want it and you think it's a good idea my marriage to Yitzhak is so fundamental so important the whole world is dependent on it the existence of the universe is dependent on the future of Claudia so depend on it I'm doing it no matter what whether anybody wants it or not it has to be oh now we could explain that is why elieza was marame's terrifica she the plastic says he put the two bracelets around she says to indicate that this marriage is as vital and fundamental as the very giving of the Torah cannot be left to anyone's discretion it's mandatory to indicate the fundamental and important nature of this Ziva wishing everyone a wonderful Shamus you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
