this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay good morning everyone this is uh the kickoff of the inaugural remon remon advisory pre and as we've mentioned the REM represents doing many MIT and this is what we're hoping for in preparation of the you know it's very interesting if you look at which to say this per in the every single letter of the AL appears in except for one there's no gimel in what's the why is there no so the explanation is as follows you know in the main focuses the request of thing I ask of this is what I seek out what is it to be able to sit in the house of to be able to understand and reflect on which is obviously reference to why do we focus on you see during this month of the year what's on our minds are the scales and we know according to the r the way the din works is hasem weighs all of our mitz all of our a if you have more MIT than a you're written and sealed for a good year if you have the opposite you know and then if you're 50/50 so then you hang in the balance so we're doing everything we can to try to tilt the scales right we want to tilt the scales in favor of mitz say amazing garar asks there's a in so it Compares tents to streams thear says the tents are the tents of T and the streams are streams that could be used as a Mikvah so gamar asks what's the comparison between a stream and a tent of T says gar just like a stream could take a person from Tuma to Tara the tent of TOA can bring a person from demerit to Merit okay so when you learn it could tilt the scales in the side of the favor of Merit okay so asks what do you mean when you learn you could tilt the scales when you do any Mitzvah you could tilt the scales if you help an old lady across the street and you're doing a you could tilt the scales when you visit the sick you could tilt the scales when you lend money to someone in Need You tilt the scales you do you could tilt the scales what only learning could tilt the scales so says yes why because says that when Hashem is evaluating MIT yes certainly it's qualitative but it's also quantitative and there's a certain AA that we have to be most concerned about and that is lhara why he say very simply let's say a person kill someone how many people could you kill in one day already you know let's say some of the big AAS don't don't try them but even if you did how many could you do already butar every word is a separate sin so if you sit and you chat on the phone for 3 minutes and made a calculation in every minute you could speak 200 words of lashara that's 600 words how many old ladies are there that you could cross the that need to cross the street to overcome that there are not enough old ladies in the whole continent of Australia to overcome 3 minutes of lashara so really there's only one way to tilt the scales the T of T because each minute of Tamra you could learn a few hundred words 200 words so 10 minutes is 2,000 mitv shus was only one mitzvah Shak is the Mitzvah of Shak is when you're done with Shak you got the Mitzvah ofah okay how many you got maybe you know yeah the better you D in qualitatively your shakas is more valuable but it's but the says each word is a separate Mitzvah I always wondered about this because if I help an old lady cross the street I'm not you know that's not my or any other you could think of isn't every step another Mitzvah the answer is no every step is expanding the Mitzvah of helping the old lady cross the street you hear in other words all the efforts that you put in in doing a it expands that one mitvah each word is considered a separate Mitzvah so they asked you know there there's a lot of nowadays that are very worthy not mine but some of they're very worthy they could say like one idea and like five pages so what each word is a separate Mitzvah so yob kamki said no only if each word was written with exactitude can we say that each word isob what's an example of a saer that we're confident that each word that you learn is a separate Mitzvah he said what for sure for sure yeah absolutely every word of Rashi he said even Mish said Mish meaning that's like a later sa that we could still say every word so therefore in the month of even though there are many Mitzvah and we have to try to do as many as possible and is of course one of the fundamentals but especially this month there's one thing that we're going to put our focus on maybe even more than any other and that's now says stands for and there's no gim to emphasize in this month doesn't mean not to try to do of course they're important but to emphasize this idea so this is a very beautiful and we're better than in the remone advisory that the advice of the remine is when you see a rem it's reminding you so with that let's begin our subject um we're going to try to break it down into a number of Parts as as you saw as you see there are eight parts of this subject um we'll see if we do all of them I definitely want to do all of the main parts so part six part 5 six and 7 we'll see if we do 5 six and 7 we'll see the time allowing but for sure 1 2 3 4 and 8 whether it's going to take us till next Tuesday it doesn't matter we got to do these parts but we'll get you out by time but let's focus now on part one which is on I want you to focus on pages one 1 2 3 5 and six and also I want you to take a look at page 28 okay and uh if you that that will be at the first uh segment today okay so say in about 20 minutes we'll reconvene and uh we we'll we'll focus on some of the main points here but uh here we go okay thanks
