Shavuos Inspiration - 24Six Special Presentation

Why do we learn Tyra? People will give all kinds of reasons why we learn Tyra. My parents want me to learn. My father wants me to learn. My mother wants me to learn. My grandparents want me to learn Tyra. My Rebi really wants me to learn. Hashem wants me to learn. It's a mitzvah. Of course, you have to learn. These are all pretty good reasons to learn Tyra. But they are not the reason why we learn. They are not the fundamental reason we learn Tyra. You know the gun teaches us there actually three categories of mitzv. You have mitzv and the fatherhood of that the main is you have and the fatherhead of that is where you and the teaches there's actually a third category of mitzvah. It's called between man and himself. And the vagin says the classic example of a mitzvah that's isra. What does it mean that is a mitzvah between man and himself? What does that mean? You know the gar tells us that there was great by the name of Ravish would review his learning every 30 days and when the 30 days were over he would go to the top of the mast of a of a ship and he would say rejoice my soul rejoice my soul I learnish for you I learn Mishna for Two, I learned for myself. Sigar asks, he learns for himself. Sounds a little selfish that he learns for himself. Doesn't learning Tyra uphold the whole world. Doesn't someone who learns Tyra actually pump life into the entire world? So why would Resa say that he learns for himself? You know the Garra says something very interesting. The garra says which many translate to mean in the beginning when a person learns he learns for himself. Is that what the garra means? That in the beginning when you learn you should learn for yourself. What was a beginner? Res wasn't a beginner. He reviewed all of his learning every 30 days. He was a great amra. What does the mean that when a person learns he learns for himself explains doesn't mean in the beginning means mainly fundamentally meaning the most basic reason to learn is it's been which means as follows that Hashem created every human being every yid with endless potential endless ability When Hashem gave us our na is literally a spark of Hashem. That means our capacity is infinite. But how do we bring that out? How do we access it? How do we draw forth the infinite ability that lays within our and bring it out? How do we accomplish what we're able to accomplish? Tyra has been. Yes. When you learn Torah, it brings you close to Hashem, but that's not what it was given for. Yes, when you learn Tory, it brings great to the whole world, but that's not the primary reason to learn. The primary reason to learn is we learn for ourself. When a Jew learns Tyra, it helps access the infinite and endless potential that lay within our nam. Tyra is for our own good. When we learn on Shabuis, when we stay up a shuous night, we're not doing it to make our father happy and our mother happy. Yes, that's a side reason. We're not doing it to make our rebi happy. Yes, it's good to make him happy, but that's a side reason. We're not doing it to bring nas to Hashem. Although that's a very great reason. The main reason that we learn the fundamental reason when we why we learning is it's to help a person become who they can become. A person learns for their own development. The Torah is ours. It's what we need to become who we are able to become. I'll tell you a story. After the Holocaust, my grandfather was liberated by the American army that he was headed on a cattle car to the Tiero Mountains where the Nazis would force them to dig their own graves and then they would be shot. And the Americans bombed the railroad tracks. And when the Germans realized that the Americans were coming, they quickly put on the American uniforms and they put on the survivors their uniforms. But when the Americans came, they weren't duped by the scheme because the Germans were fat, robust, and the survivors were walking cadaavvers. They were walking skeletons. And the brigadier general, Henning Lindon, gave my grandfather a gun. He said, "You're liberated now. Here, take revenge against the enemy." And my grandfather said, "Revenge? I leave revenge for the reban? It's been five years since I'm reunited with my now I have my gam that's all I [Music] need. We learn because that is the life of a Jew to bring out who we're able to be to fully have happiness and joy and delight in this world. We need the wishing everyone.
