this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com I get to everyone this question I've been thinking about uh of recent and it really came to a head this yam because I realize that this observation is uh becoming more and more pronounced but let's let's talk straight here of all the Mak which Maka gets by far the most attention I mean most people at their s there they have paraphernalia merch from this MAA you know what I'm talking about sarda you go to any Judea store on the front counter you've got stretchy frogs you got windup frogs you have googly frogs you have people dressing up like frogs what is this obsession with masasa even in terms of songs the frogs take Center Stage frogs here I mean I I was a little hesitant to discuss this but how could you ignore it why of all the Mak you don't have people squirting flake fake blood you don't have people focused on and even really should be the focus Mak is one of the of the when we talk about it in yet somehow that has really captured the attention of CLA Isel and you know thear observes that if there's certain things that Jewish children do or Jewish children say there must be a basis for it there must be a deep reason for it because clao wouldn't do something that's doesn't that's not so here goes I think this will give great meaning in the uh momentum that Thea has especially in our times you know it's very interesting tells us that made the following why did give up their life jump into the fire says they made a from the why did the jump into the kneading into the ovens the PK says when are the kneading bowls near the oven that's when the oven is hot so the jumped into a heated oven they didn't just jump into the oven they jumped into the oven when the oven was going and yet that are commanded on so the source of of is the it's very interesting by the way in in fact The Story Goes that when the V was seven years he met the Shag and the Shag asked how could make from the frogs but the frogs were commanded explicitly the whole is based on frogs who are not commanded they were Mo but frogs were commanded they were told to go to which the vill said there were three possibilities they could have gone into the kneading balls they could have gone into other areas where the PK says that they had different options they could have gone so no individual frog was commanded to go into the oven so they were not commanded and yet some did so the frog is the source of the Mitzvah of Kes and of all the Mitzvah that we have the most important Mitzvah and the reason why Hashem created us call Ma we say we were created to bring honor and the source of not just to give up one's life but to give up one's life means to dedicate one's life the source of the greatest value in Judaism are Thea and therefore of all the MOs the one that is dearest to our heart the one that infuses our life with so much meaning is ITA so if you had at your say there those wind up frogs those frogs you pull it back and they sling whatever merch of you had there's a reason for it there's a reason why the Jewish people are connected to that especially in our times when we have to overcome uh enemy that perhaps the the that they have is their teach us that the life of a Jew is dedicated KES sh so no Jewish practice is for not everything is based on the great value of and here we learn the great value of wishing everyone you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
