Pesach Today: The Answer to the Rasha

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com so p is approaching we have to start discussing some of the so we begin with something uh very interesting we know that on the day that yobu came to uh steal so to speak the Bros from as so uh RKA tells yov I want you to make for your father Two Two Goats now two goats that's a pretty big KES you know it's a lot of meat you know I think uh we could feed all of us over here with two goats and Y certainly I don't know what he would do with two goats I don't even know what he would do with the tenth of a goat and yet RKA says take two goats for s's bothered did eat two goats I mean that was a meal that was a typical meal for says Rashi it was the 15th day of Nissan one carbon one goat was for the C and the other goat was right in other words one was one was the uh carbon and one was the Caron P so just one one small problem excuse me do you not realize that the Jewish people have not gone down to Egypt yet they have not left MIT what are you celebrating PES for it's not PES what do you mean it's PES he's bringing the car PES isn't the car PES what's the purpose of the car PES the purpose of the PES is to commemorate that in Egypt God jumped over the Jewish houses you know you didn't you miss that day you missed that day in God that didn't happen yet so it didn't happen yet so why are you eating the carbon P that's a big problem why is the now we find by light we don't find that no we don't find that but it says in they pressured right the people of s surrounded light's house right in other words the come and they uh they Prevail they enter the house they made a meal right so light makes for these two angels a meal say you see such such he didn't even know it wasn't P yet light is eating mat why because it's 15 but light you know what what in the world is light doing he's eating mat it's not it's not okay tells us do women have to keep mitos that are governed by time are women obligated in no they're usually they're usually women are not obligated to wear Talis to wearin to to learn these are probably and therefore they are exempt from what about the the women have to drink four cups of wine on yes says women are in the why the famous five words women were part of the miracle now what does that mean women were part of the miracle so TAA says he brings down the of the rasham the rashbam quotes it's everything is because of the ladies you know they get credit for everything why it was in that we left Egypt and then what about our women toay the Milla yes why because the whole Miracle of P took took place because of Esther and are women in yes why because Nota took place through yudas in other words the explanation of a is the women are responsible for the miracle to which tysus asks AF implies their secondary AF doesn't imply that they're the cause AF implies you know we'll also include them and this logic seems to be saying they're the main uh the main parties of the miracle the mirrors what mirrors the mirror okay that was uh that contributed to the uh propagation and the the population explosion in Egypt but uh specifically the the the reason we were exiled was in the of the righteous women yeah but the K was made out of the uh the the M of the women the righteous women okay so says no that's not what me you know what means means they were also going to be killed by either par or or or Okay so asks if that's the case if again now we're saying means they also benefited from the miracle right if would have killed he would have killed the women also if would have been successful in his decrees it would have affected the women also so ask this is there's about seven lines down number five the women have to sit in the Suka Yeah question do women have to sit in the Sucka no no they're completely exempt right that's why they want to sit in it right men it's you know they're not interested in the Su women they love the Su why because they don't have to right there's no again pushing them not to so T ask why are women exempt from Suka but the the miracle of benefited the women also says that's talking about we're not going to obligate women because they also benefited but the four cups which are only they enacted for women also because women were also part of the mirac you hear what T is saying are we going to obligate women because they benefited no but which is only we we do obligate them I mean that's what the said sounds backwards right does sound backwards like are women no why because it's only so the fact that they benefited they're off the hook but we're going to obligate women in why because they benefited from I mean completely backwards they from what do you mean but they sat protected them no no no it's only but what about I mean what kind of is that what you can't even say that that's the AR that's what T says so we want to try to explain a little bit what's T talking about they're going to be exempt from if they benefited and they're going to be obligated and okay the night of we make um many many MIT you know I saw when I was a kid I I learned how many mitz to do the night of uh the 12 is 12 and then I got a little older and I saw in a saer that we have a tradition from the gr that how many Mitzvah do we do the night of the SAR 64 Mitzvah we have he writes in his that there's a tradition from the v 6 for mitzah T say there and then this year I got a new fromit in he's a big he's popular speaker in he put out a new it's available in the stores on Main Street he brings down someone wrote a saer there 165 Mitzvah we do the night of the so you know it's not we're not looking to get off the hook any Mitzvah right we're trying to pile it on we're piling them all the Mitzvah yeah but there's one br that is conspicuously absent there's one BR we make it all the time and for some reason the say there it's gone what happened to it make it make why don't you make this question is raised by the number six there's no why not well no Miracles happened you know we spend half the night saying this man says 50 this man says 200 that man says 250 and don't know so if they Miracles all right one loves to steal my thunder look but you didn't get it yet don't worry okay in we say what does the Russia say what's this you're doing you and not him in other words he's uh he's excluding himself so the says because he takes himself out of the he's pretty strong language because he removes himself from the general uh congregation he's a k and what do we do knock out his teeth knock at his teeth right the and you say that's why you know Jews are are dentists right because uh try to fix up the Russ what do you tell him because of this God did to me when I left Egypt leave hasem took me out of and not him if you would have been there Ras you would not have uh been redeemed okay many questions you could ask I mean this is not necessarily the most effective kir technique but um aside from that what do we tell the Russia we say well the Russia has a Kasha he comes to the S he says what are you doing and we tell the Russia oh Russia by the way we left wow what a what a major we're talking to Russia we left I mean as bad of the even if he was kicked out of class from the moment he got there he knows that he knows we left Egypt that he knows what exactly we telling him the other problem is that if you look in thees about where the the Russia asks this question in the the gives a different answer to the Russ not the answer that gives look at number Eight's it will be when your children tell you whose question is this the Russ right the exact words of the Russ so while answers the gives a different answer you know what the t's answers you should say it's a sacrifice a Passover offering to God that he skipped over our houses in Egypt when he SM the Egyptians okay understand what the as great as he is you know he can't argue on Hashem Hashem says that if the rush has a question what do you answer that's what the Torah says you should answer and the gives a different answer the's answer is so could somebody please tell me why the gives a different answer than the now if you want to know so where did the balag get its answer from the bag got its answer from a different look at number nine look at number nine got you'll tell your son on that day saying are those words familiar where are those words where are those words from that's the answer the gives to the Russ that's not the answer the Torah gives to the Russ the torah's answer is here now the Torah is saying to the Ben to a different son you're supposed to give the answer so Rashi says oh the second half of this is AZ to the answer to the Russ right look at rash number 10 this is a hint to the answer to the look how the t is writing the tells you the question of the the answer the tah gives is not the answer to the Russia where does the Torah give the answer to the Russia and per gim eum later in the second half of the p and the T expects me to figure that out that the the question of the rash is in par base the answer that t gives to the Russ no don't give that answer what answer should you give cut a a random p and per gim in half and take out those words and give that answer to the Russia I how are we supposed to know that okay so we have a very important piece a Monumental piece of the on and B tries to explain this a little bit and uh he offers us something that is very relevant to all of us B says like this look at number 11 he's going on these that we just read this is all part of the answer to the Russia first of why are we telling the Russ it's a it's a statute I mean is mat really a statute is is really a law without a reason meaning in the we say mat has a reason we eat mat to commemorate that God took us out and we didn't have time to prepare Provisions says to try to explain the flow of these tells us that these words this is a response to the Russ he takes himself out of the CLA he's C we punch him in the face we knock out his teeth he needs orthodon right he has to go to the oral Surge and F says the B okay very nice you want to knock out his teeth you want to give him a bloody nose you don't want him ever to come back to your table that's fine and dandy that's you know that's your business but you tell me what's the answer he asked you a question the question is what are you doing so what's the answer the answer is you punch him in the face answer the guy's question that's he asked you in a question you don't like it you don't like how it was phrased you think he's being very nice what's the answer to the question how does it answer the question that God took us out of Egypt what you don't think he knows that what you're talking to a Tom over here you're not talking to the fool you're not talking to the kid who doesn't know anything you're not talking to the dumb kid you're talking to the smart kid who's a Russia so you're telling him we left MIM Eli for whatever reason he missed that day in Yeshiva what do you want from the kid it's the father's fault the father never told him that okay so B offers us really uh Monumental explanation over here and uh there something which is very relevant really in our times also and that is if we were to ask what was the reason for the car P what's the you know logical open reason for the car P well the simple reason for the car P why did they take a goat why did they take a sheep well they took a sheep the tells us because the Egyptians were steeped in idolatry they worshiped the Sheep that's why you know when the brothers of ysep came down to mitan they were they had to be you know sort of excommunicated they had to live in the land of Goen because it was shameful to them that their occupation was to be involved in the god of the Egyptians the Egyptians would look down on somebody who was a Shepherd I mean what you're tending to our god so the Egyptians were steeped in AB specifically the set specifically the set right tells us look at number 12 why did have to take the carbon P four days before they slaughtered it in other words you know normally when you take a carbon so the very you go to the store you buy it and you sh it but when it came to MIM they had to buy it 4 days before they slaughtered it what they do with it they took it they tied it to the bed post and they kept it for 4 days why so says the med the Jews were steeped in idolatry in in other words hem wanted to wean us off desar so he said you take the Egyptian God and you take it you tie it to your door your doorpost for 4 days and the Egyptians are going to come and they say what are you doing and you're going to tell them we're going to take your God in 4 days and we're going to slaughter it and the Egyptians are going to be you know gnawing their teeth and you're just going to you're not going to say anything that's what the M tells us also by the words that t uses to describe the C is right the matter tells us that when heard that is going to have to bring a sheep for p so said what a sheep don't you know the Sheep is the the god of the Egyptians Right Said So hasem said you're not leaving here until you Slaughter the Egyptian god right and that's why the very night of God did two things he killed the Egyptian firstborn and he shattered the Egyptian gods right in other words the purpose of carbon PES was to obliterate and remove the ideology of IDE right of idolatry the ideology of idolatry say that 10 times quickly right so in fact tells us something amazing look at number 14 tells us that why was the month of Nissan chosen to be the month of because we know that the Egyptians of all the various Idols that they served their Chief Idol was the Sheep the by the way if you look at the you know the horoscope the constellations right every month has a different astrological sign the astrological sign of the first month of the year isep sheep the Egyptians worshiped the constellations and right was the Sheep the Sheep represented the first month of the year says amazing thing if you remember if you remember by Mak parro was shattered parro was humbled you know what parro said after Mak haran but then after B ARA came and Ara you know what parro said after AR he said get lost by par started gaining a certain confidence and then by he said I never want to see you again the next time you see me I'm going to kill you where does parro where is he getting his brazenness from the again after Bor a few weeks ago parro was shattered he he was nothing he acknowledged God and all of a sudden as time is progressing parro starts to gain confidence you know why cuz the month of Nissan was approaching and parro knows that his God the Sheep represented the month of Nissan so as Nissan is coming parro is gaining more and more confidence that his idols are going to pull through for him so therefore says to this month is going to be for you this is going to be your month not paro's month I'm going to show Paro that in the month that he thinks his idols are working strong I'm going to shatter all of his Notions look at look at number 14 why was the month of the Egyptians worship the Sheep that's the chief astrological sign in the circle in the horoscope the Sheep it's his month during niss was relying on this even though during's heart was shattered he said but then he became again and he comes out with tremendous he say was approaching he had confidence in his signs that's why this month that power is anticipating that's going to work for him I'm G to show the world him so walks in the Russia and the Russia he's no fool he knows exactly why we eat the k p the russan knows the purpose of k p is to shatter the IDE ideology of idolatry the Russia knows why did God command us to take the Sheep he commanded us to take the Sheep to separate the Jewish people from the pre prevalent form of idolatry in Egypt and that's why we had to take the Sheep four days earlier and that's why it had to be the month of Nissan the Russia knows the the Russia knows the the the Russia even know and he comes like the with his front to split showing look what aad I am the and the Y and the Meda they all say that the purpose of carbon Pak is to wean the Jewish people off idolatry but give me a break we live in the United States of America you see anybody worshiping sheep over here nobody's worshiping sheep nobody believes in idolatry anymore nobody is bowing down to the to the Sheep so what's the purpose of the Caron PES instead let's serve God in a more up to-date kind of way let's make sure the animals don't go extinct let's you know save the whals let's save the you know the environment global warming that's a much more uh that's something I could relate to but you're telling me I have to bring a Caron PES because people are bowing down to sheep I mean give me a break this is the year 2013 or the year 1913 or the year 1813 or 173 no nobody bows down to sheep anymore so the Russia is coming not not what are you doing but why you still doing it come on get with the program the Russia says you know you're oldfashioned you're outdated your AA is Antiquated it's irrelevant that's a good Cas he's no fool he's a smart Russia that's the you're what you're doing is so you know what the answer is the first thing is you don't answer him you don't answer him first thing you got to talk to yourself look in look at number eight what's the next word right no right no the you should say who should you say to say to yourself because right now the first thing is after you hear this kind ofir and carus the first thing you need to do is talk yourself into the fact no Hashem saved us in the and this is what we do you're not talking to the rash yet the first response is know in your own mind that we do the Mitzvah no matter what before you respond to her it doesn't say no you're not talking to anyone yet the first thing is you got to know what to tell yourself it doesn't mean you should respond to the it means you should know what to respond to the knowing your own mind what the answer okay but what's the answer he he's asking a good question he's coming to you and he's saying why would you offer a sheep nowadays if no one is bowing down to the sheep and with this B says really a Monumental approach to col okay look take a look on the third sheet look at number three yeah say you hear you hear what we're saying the rush has a good KAS the question is the purpose of is to no one is serving in New York City no one says this is on these words because of this RAB say what's the this look at rashi rashi said the this is because of God took us out of Egypt now at first glance that makes absolutely no sense because of matah and because of car p and because of God took us out of Egypt that's backwards we eat P because God took us out of Egypt God didn't take us out of Egypt because of the mitvah of P maybe because we're going to do that so let's see listen to what he says even though it's a true reason right if I were ask you what's the reason we ate car P cuz God jumped over our doors why do we eat the matah because God took us out quickly why do we eat the mar to commemorate bitterness that's not the real answer that's not the real answer that's an added explanation after the fact what do what do I mean by that even though it's true even though we ate the to nullify to abolish their idology we are about to reveal a great Revelation to the Russ and that is even we understand the right the reason if I were ask you why do we eat mat God took us out quickly we didn't have time to let the door rise if I would ask you why we eat they embittered Our Lives they made our lives miserable that's not the real reason you hear this what do you mean it's not the real reason we say in the why do we eat mat cuz God took us out quickly why do we eat Mar because they made our lives bitter no nothing to do with that nothing to do with that all these reasons merely make it more obligatory upon us to keep the Mitzvah so we're not ingrates but it's not the real reason for the mitzvah and that's why in the we say not because of this why do we have to be so I mean let's say I would just say this mat is because of this this is because of this why do I have to be so lengthy in my explanation this mat that we eat is because of this right if somebody would write a composition like that you tell them get rid of the extraneous detail I understand what you mean cut to the chase say the mat is because of this the is because of this why do we say this mat that we eat is because of you know why because we're just saying that the specific reason why we're more obligated to eat it is because of these reasons that we understand but still we haven't yet revealed what's what is the reason why do we eat mat why do we eat so listen to this we don't eat mat because we were ever inim hear this mat has nothing to do with we don't eat Mar because we were ever there nothing to do with nothing to do with the T existed before the world right so that means before God created the world there's a Torah in sh that said on the 15th day of Nissan eat mat eat e p you know what did on the 15th day of what's he eating matah for the Jews didn't leave Egypt yet the Jews didn't even go down to Egypt yet there was no such thing tell so then why what's the reason for mat the answer is like this what's the reason there's a sun and a moon and stars there's no reason these are immutable phenomenon of nature they exist they exist what's the reason why there's gravity what's the reason why eal mc^2 what's the reason why the law of conservation of matter the reason these are immutable laws of nature what's the reason for mat it's the hasem it's the word of God it's an absolute dictate from the creator of the it's not because some kind of uh cultural obligation to commemorate certain things it has nothing to do with that nothing the God said and a right he said there's a law of nature he said the sun rises the sun sets the 15th day of Nissan you eat matah that existed before the world was created that existed before the Jews went down to Egypt that existed before God even created Egypt there was a God he said 613 things one of them was mat on the 15th day of Nissan eat Mar on the 15 day bring a carbon P put Aza on your doorpost say sh sit in a what do you mean s you didn't protect me yet it has nothing to do with what are you bringing we're don't have a re these are immutable laws of nature the same way they're laws of the universe they're laws of physics they laws of biology they're laws of chemistry the Torah are immutable absolute they exist these this is the word of God is the word of the Creator so you want to know like this it's not that we eat matah to commemorate God taking us out of Egypt just the opposite because there's a Mitzvah on the 15th day of Nissan to eat matah and because there's a mitzah on the 15th day of Nissan to e and because there's a mitzah on the 15th day of Nissan to eat Mar God says you know what that's a good day to take them out of Egypt that's a good day to take them out so if you want to know we don't mat because God took us out of Egypt God took us out of Egypt because there's matah and because there's a and because there's a p that's why he took us out so the Russ comes like a and he comes he opens up the and he says what do you mean the reason for mat is to to remove ourselves from idolatry so we tell the Russian no you're making a big error your error is you think we do mitzvah for reasons we don't do mitzvah for reasons we do Mitzvah because the same way when I drop this it falls we do mitzah because they are immutable laws of the universe that's how we do it God took us because of the Mitzvah you think that a Mitzvah has a reason and when the reason doesn't apply we don't have to do the mitah MIT have no reasons that's what we tell the Russ because of that's why that's why got took me out so you got it backwards Russia now we may have all had it backwards right we always we always think oh yeah we eat matah to commemorate that we had to leave quickly no no wrong that's not why that may be why we have a special obligation to do it why that that M makes it make sense to us that's what allows it to set sit in our minds easier but if you want to know at the root of the matter why is there mitah matah you're going to tell me the creator of the universe said a Mitzvah because of an event as if the creator of the universe he only says things because things happen no he's not limited by happenings God is absolute his Mitzvah are absolute his mitzah existed whether events happen or not you're telling me a Mitzvah occurred because something happened in history so that's that's heretical to say that we have a commandment because an event you're limiting the Creator to an event in history as if to say if that event didn't happen we wouldn't have a Mitzvah so why the yeah the first thing is when the Russia says what are you doing it's not relevant anymore so the is that's what you say to yourself you don't respond to him you acknowledge to yourself This is a command of Hashem Hashem told me to do it but the here take a look let's let's read his words he says like this you see in the middle of the page number three these is a very challenging concept but these of they didn't come as a result of our Redemption it's just the opposite that's why we were redeemed this is how we respond to the r we say to the r we don't tell him because I left Egypt right we don't tell the Russ Russia you know why I'm eating matah because God took me out we say just the opposite because of these commands says a major concept this is a general principle in Torah you know people learn the and people learn the r and people are in all this that may explain the reasons of the MIT these are not the real reasons these are reasons that make it understandable to our human intelligence but that's not why we do it we don't honor our father and mother oh because they did so much for us that's not why we honor them it's good to think that also you know why we honor them it's the law of the universe God commanded me to honor my father and mother now it doesn't hurt if you also feel that they raised you and and even though you were a tough kid they put up with you that's also you know nothing it doesn't hurt but realize that's not the underlying reason why we do it because what's going to happen if it's very difficult to honor them and they're making it hard and it's very it's almost impossible to fulfill all their request then what do you do you say oh well God doesn't expect me to do it then no this is the law of the universe a child honors his father and mother whether it makes sense it doesn't make sense hey look what he says tell that to the kid though so you never you never tell that to the child tell them that you're thinking it's this it's not this it's because of this you you're camouflaging the whole thing tell them that tell them exactly what you said now you're right you have a good point there but that's not the reason and then go into the reason yeah you leave hanging that's what we're that's what we're according to B do that's the answer to the Russia what's the answer to Russia you got it wrong you think we're eating k p because of your reason no because of the Mitzvah that's why the event happened and otherwise in other words these mitzah are absolute these mitz don't have a a core reason the core reason is they exist these are principles of nature these are principles of nature look what he says he says um we don't keep for the reason and now the explains beautifully if you go back to the what do we tell the r because of this mitvah God took me out and you know what told me what's a that a reason since when is it's the one Mitzvah that's not no but in this in these him when we're trying to answer the Russ and explain to him where his error is the point that we're telling is bottom line all the M the you know as much as we said oh it makes so much sense and it's so beautiful and it's so logical yes yes yes it is all the mitzil have reasons and you know and I remember Miller used to say if you don't eat pig because you think you're going to get trichinosis and you don't want to get worms in your uh your intestines that's fine also that's a good reason also but understand that's not the real reason there may be mitzil have many many benefits that we understand and recognize but underline the core at the core of the Mitzvah it comes from the creator of the universe and these are just immutable laws ah so now we come to an amazing thing right now we understand what AB is doing so what does that mean that's a different thing you know that's another of the Russia he says okay we'll have to deal with that we'll have to deal with that but now we understand I like to eat in other words let's say guy comes and says yeah the reason why the Torah says don't eat pork is because you're going to have trichinosis but now the FDA approves it so now it's permitted right no but unfortunately many a large segment of our people believes that so this is the answer to them the answer is we don't keep missil because of reasons okay so comes now we understand say is eating mat is drinking what's he commemorating he's not commemorating anything it's not a cultural commemoration holiday it's a day that God commanded us to eat so if I ask you amazing based on what we just learned from the brisar now we can understand why the night of the one we don't make is because if you're going to declare that the reason why we do all these mitzah is because miracle happened to us it's not true so why we do it it's said commemorate these Miracles are in commemoration of the Miracles because these are these are created they invented Hashem wants us to listen to them but not going to say that the laws of the are immutable rules that existed before the creation of the world they didn't come directly yes Hashem wants us to listen to but they're not the laws of so therefore we but on P you're going to say the reason for the mitos is because God performed miracles for us sorry that's not the reason can't make that BR and now we understand t t says that d women are why because they also participated in the miracle of they also left Egypt so T says so what about Suka are women Suka what's the answer to that no women are exempt so said why they also sat in the what is's answer we don't say we say we yes that's backwards but according to what we're saying it's beautiful we don't say we don't sit in the to commemorate a miracle we sin in the Suka it's an immutable law of nature on the 15th day of sukus Jews have to sit in the Su so you want to say let's obligate let's obligate women why because they also benefited from the miracle what is benefiting from a miracle God to do with sitting in the Suka we sit in the Suka because God said it's an immutable law of nature that Jewish men have to send the Suka so now you want to say women should also send the Suka because they also were Co in the Suka when they left Egypt what is being co in the Suka when they left Egypt got to do with sitting in Su reasons do not play a role reasons do not play Hal role in a Mitzvah but by like where gave the Mitzvah to commemorate certain things so of course women are because they also benefited from that's what means when it comes to a Biblical Mitzvah existed before the world was created it's an immutable law of the creator of the universe having nothing to do with a reason that we could comprehend so you want to say oh women all so sad and Suka wonderful so when you make up your religion you'll put the women in the suas but God's religion God's religion exists said before there was a world and that immutable law applied to men now the come along they say we want you to commemorate certain things so then logically if they want you to commemorate and women also benefited from that so then women will also sit sit in the uh also drink the yeah exactly so women were in that Miracle so women by what bosos yeah so exactly they were in that n and therefore says it only applies to why because the r are there are reasons for the there's a reason why the were human beings and they gave certain enactments for certain reasons so logically we could extend that to women but you what are you going to do you're going to say oh I think Hashem made this MIT for this reason and I'm going to apply to other people you have no understanding of why God said certain things okay about the m we sometimes say other did certain things you say that was before M so there is no before mat Tor always so okay so before mat and Torah there were certain laws but doesn't mean those laws had to be kept doesn't mean they had they were obligated to keep them but in principle in in uh conceptually what we're saying is we're we we're we're learning a very challenging concept because what we're learning is that you're right even though the mitzah mat was not obligatory until the Torah was given and the Torah was not given to Angels given to men and there are certain reasons given in the Torah and we know if someone sits in the Suka and he doesn't think it's in order to commemorate that God took us ad he's not y say the Mitzvah but nevertheless conceptually what we're saying at the core of the Mitzvah it's not something that we can necessarily relate to our relation to it is how we connect to it but in terms of understanding it at its core value there is no time there's no reason so I've always say give me a couple more minutes by the way this whole concept that we're learning that it's not that we do a right it's not that because of a reason we keep a mitvah just the opposite because of a Mitzvah certain events happened it's more than that it's more than that it's not just that because there was a mitah mat God took us out of Egypt listen to this it's more than that God used the Torah to create the world so in other words it's not that oh they're parents in the world there's a father and a mother and a child oh honor them no just the opposite God says how shall I create the world should I create parents and children oh there's a Mitzvah in the Torah of honor your father and mother so because there's a Mitzvah in the Torah of honor your father and mother God created parents God created children because there's a Mitzvah of God created the land of Israel because there's a Mitzvah ofin there's something called a left arm and a right arm because there's a there's a mitah tius you have a body because there's a mza there's something called a house not the opposite we we don't think in those terms the mitzvos were immutable laws based on the mitzvos all of reality took form so so poor women anduk was in the Torah this mitah not in the open not so why we why we say because those were later mitvah those but was in the from of the world no it's not not the open it's not the openly according to what you said right in fact what I'm saying now is really the M says right if there's no Torah there's no now what ises that supposed to mean writes like this if if not for the Tyra there would be no reality right in other words Hashem it's not the oh we have a head and we have eyes and we have a mouth soem says Let me give mankind the Mitzvah of no because there's a mitzah of learning Torah so God said how are you going to do it you have to have a mouth you have to have ears you have to have because there's a Mitzvah of listening to the Schauer God had to give us the capacity to hear all of these Mitzvah created the reality of the Universe I mean that's certainly a very challenging concept Torah not Torah there will be no laws of nature the laws of nature are the byproduct of what you see in the so RAB said let's come to this week's para where you see an example of this okay give another share on that for students children at the very beginning yeah BL say listen to this what's the reason for carban yeah the reason for carb thean don't forget about you know we Overlook because it's right before but what's the reason for so the ra Ines who theim who wrote theim the r you know what the reason for because the worshiped animals right the M worshiped the sheep and the kazm worship the goat and the Indians the people in India they they worship the cow till today so therefore Hashem says you have all of this um she all of this falsehood you know floating around the world people believe in um idolatry so what I want you to do the Rah says what Hashem wants us to do is the only way to cure a sickness of of the intellect of ideology is to go to the extreme opposite so what I want you to do Hashem says take these animals the Sheep the goat the cow that the nations of the world consider idols and kill them for me and thereby demonstrate to the whole world that idolatry is nothing wow that's the purpose of carban so you know what the ran has to say about that look three lines from the end says the ran he's wrong this is emptiness with the I'm saying basically you're taking them as which is the table of God and you're defiling it you're taking idols and you're murdering them on in God's table I mean that's what the purpose of carban is but that's what R says the raham says the purpose of carban is to shatter idolatry but very interesting very interesting the r himself in doesn't give that reason foran you know what the ramam says the ram says like this the ramam [Music] says look on the on the wide lines he says like this he [Music] says on the fourth line in the right so it says keep the and keep the we have to preserve and perform like so now the the performance we know what that means that means you got to do them you have to act but what does it mean to Guard the guard the means don't start challenging the don't start saying because you don't understand them you're not going to you're not going to believe in them ah he says that we understand likez we don't understand look how much had pain from the aarum they would constantly make fun of him regarding theim Cesar R three lines from the end you know what [Music] car we have no idea why we bring the world stands on caronus you know why because we don't understand why we bring them understand says reason for kabo is to destroy idolatry and the r writes openly in the so how you going to deal with that so the r himself addresses it in a different Ram okay just bear with me the ram says the ram says look on the Fifth Line the raan quoting the ra the ran is quoting the r in the okay so the ram says this number 19 looks five lines down even though all the laws of the Torah are decrees without understanding think about them anyway and whatever reason you could apply give a reason so listen to what the ra is saying you want to know what mitos are mitos are with no reason that's step one step one is at the core of every Mitzvah it's a decree by God that has to be kept under all circumstances and and you should realize you don't understand it once you understand that then any reason that you could make sense out of a mitzah try to make sense out of it does make it easier in other words a reason is not the reason why but a reason is just to make it a little bit more understandable to you understanding that that's not really why so in other words you want to know why we bring carbon it's a is that Aero to the R Who says we bring Caron to abish no the r just giving a little bit of a say listen to this you know what the word Tam means in Hebrew taste taste flavor flavor a tam for mitvah is not the reason for a Mitzvah it gives taste to the Mitzvah it gives flavor to the Mitzvah if your food doesn't taste like anything if your chicken has no salt in it and no spices in it it will give you the exact same nourishment it will satisfy you just the same you will get you you have the same amount of blood cells but it might not have any flavor to you it might not be as meaningful to you says the the word right the wrote a book of reasons but he says don't think the word means a reason it's not a reason it's a flavor it makes it meaningful so whenever you hear a reason for a Mitzvah understand that's not why we do it that's what makes the the Mitzvah connected to me I understand it I enjoy it I have a myth flavor from it I have a gmack from it but that's not why I do it gives it a context gives it a context it gives it a historical com does even a hint of that come through to the children rather than being taught we're going to have a parade going out in this Dr and we're going to do this and this is my and we're walk in the T so the whole education system doesn't even give a hint that this is it and this is like a pneumonic device it's a way of helping us remember it and understand it right we're still in yiva now I hear you're say good say good so say I want to add one point you said I want to add one point okay and I'm going to take this to uh first grade as challenging as this concept was until now we're going to take it just 10 steps higher and I'm going to let you think about this you know you think about overpaying okay like this by the way ra also says look at number 21 very important what's your name what's your name what plin um look at number 21 look at number 21 Feinstein writes that a reason is is an additional facet of the Mitzvah but the rule applies in all scenarios a to is just it's it's another aspect of the mitzah but it doesn't control and guide when the mitzah applies okay I want to tell you something amazing okay one last thing says never died very famous gar a lot of ink has spilled trying to explain this gar never died so says cover so what wasad there they buried him they wrapped him up they mummified him they eulogized him what were they doing so he says back no no no you didn't get what I was saying the following the says God says don't be afraid my servant says God don't be scared I'm going to save you from far him sh and their your children from their land of captivity God is comparing yob to his descendants just like we're still here is still there I mean what in the world is saying first said yob still alive what was the question but they buried him and they eulogized him and they put dirt on him so what's the answer oh I have a drasa go take your drasa well what do you mean you have a drasa but what about the question they put yakob in the ground and they eulogize I mean you could Dar from today till to yeah I don't want to say to M because maybe he's going to come right away right but but um what's the answer the question was yob is dead so what's the answer you have a Dr show very good you have a wonderful sh you 24 M but he's dead say of hutner you ready for this again why did God take us out we don't need mat to commemorate God took us out of MIT because it says in the T there's a mitah mat on the 15th day of why are their parents because why do we have a left arm because there's a MIT now listen to the following idea we have many levels of T we have the open Torah we have what's written in the we have we have gamar we have Jos we have razim so it's like this there are many levels of existence as well not everything that exists we could see with a with the naked eye could you see G then could you see no you know why you can't see it because all the ask why doesn't it talk about so you ready for iron Cutler says because if it would talk about in thees you'd be able to see it and God doesn't want you to see it so he took it out of the Kish and put it in the oral law so that it doesn't exist in the open so it won't exist in open Nature to the naked eye in other words like this there are Level whatever is in the Torah is in creation there's a MIT ofin you have an arm there are you have parents everyone sees them you have everyone could see the concept of a house it doesn't talk about why because God doesn't want us to be able to see so listen to this thear made a statement so simply that means it says in the didn't die to which the question is but what do you mean they buried him no no no no no I didn't say it says in the I have didn't die so a is the part of the Torah that is not revealed so therefore if you wanted to know what does it mean in a way that is not revealed to the physical eye in other words the same way what we're learning is the Torah is the blueprint of reality that's what we're learning today the Torah creates reality whatever mitz are in the Torah that creates existence but their level of Torah there's open Torah and there's more hidden Torah whatever is in the open Torah is in open reality whatever is in Hidden Torah is in Hidden reality there are many things in shim in other that we don't see why because it's not written in the Torah openly it's in the so it does exist but it's in the re it's in the secret parts of the Torah and therefore it's in the hidden parts of reality as well and this what listen to putner does the Kaz say that from the time of creation no one sang Shir until sang at yeah but we have a tradition that yeah so what mean no one ever sang until the answer is of course sang but we can't detect it and we didn't see it cuz it's not in the open yeah on some dimension in the Deep inner recesses of his heart he's saying Shir but it wasn't open because it's not in the open Torah the first open Shir that the talks about is and therefore that was the first that was the first sh that anyone sang openly you know executive summary the answer to the Russia what's the answer the Russia comes along and he says I know the reason for the MIT we eat Caron PES to abolish idolatry there's no idolatry anymore why do we have to eat the car PES and the answer is you got it backwards we don't need to commemorate it's just the opposite took us out of because of the realities of M have a wonderful day you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
