Part 98: Be a Spiritual Environmentalist

[Music] thank you good morning BTO we continue with our we have no sponsor this morning and so we just thank the Reon Shalom for the coffee this morning and the bookon synagog uh we are still learning this piece by R the great P Shin T Zion and we've been discussing why in are we learning about because our Rabbi saw and the fact that we make bras before we consume food we make BR before we embibe the pleasant fragrance of Bim the fact that we make a br before we benefit or enjoy from this world is the instruments the means through which we connect with Hashem we spend some time where Revol encouraged us I wonder whether everyone I gave you a break last week we didn't have sheer so you've had two weeks now to do your homework anyone remember what the homework was the first paragraph of benching of just concentrate with those three words provides for the entire world and we talked about everything that goes into the Apple the piece of bread whatever it is that we're about to benefit from the the bar the breakfast bar whatever we're eating everything that went into it the workers the plowing the planting the harvesting the reaping the packaging the trucking the stocking the Shelf the the person who checked us out there were a million steps that we don't have to work the field and we don't have to break our back and we don't have to sweat of our brow we just walk in we don't have to take out our credit card you use Apple pay you wave your phone and you walk out with your groceries and no you have food to eat is there a greater then last time we met we began to discuss which is what we're going to continue right now that in fact when one recites when one makes a blessing before they eat they're then not only engaging the food and countering the food as a physical material object they're not only tasting the flavor the sweetness the goodness of the food from a physical taste on their pallet but it is a fulfillment of the remember remember I told you my Bubby's favorite P taste and you will see that Hashem is good like Coca-Cola who were confident that if you just take a taste of this syrup and mix it with water and they built a gazillion dollar company off of giving people free tastes when you believe in something you say come take a free taste that's how much confidence that's how much I believe in it says we say about Hashem just tasteem just taste it right this was the campaigns that he ran including lighting the shabas candles Friday night putting Fillin on men just give a taste just give a taste if a woman lights candles Friday night even if she goes to violate every one of theas after that she doesn't keep one ounce of shabas but just taste just a little bit a little bit light the shabas candles a little bit put F on a little bit you taste and you see Hashem is good SOA quotes from The Who says that this is the Fulfillment of of is the why because when you when you make a and then take a bite out Apple if you made a br you taste not only the sweetness of the Apple but you taste the sweetness of Hashem in the Apple we're able to expand our experience of of uh pleasure Beyond just the pallet Beyond just the tongue the mouth Beyond just the uh the stomach but we're able to taste and experience and feel the goodness of of Hashem so we're on the bottom paragraph page Shin test Z and then I read to you at the end of last week how Yi had expanded in an article that wrote she had expanded this idea of that everyone benefits from the you make quoting the that it changes the whole environment that you make a bro at home but your son at school remembers an answer on his test and your husband feels A Rush of energy at work and a car breaks to avoid a child on the street and that making a br has Cosmic implications that we don't even always appreciate and realize we think we're just making the braa so we can get to the food so we swallow the BR Fest and then we swallow the food cuz we're just getting it out of the way so that we can indulge in the food but but she reminds us and based on on the when you make a you've changed the entire atmosphere in the room literally the people who hear you make that BR don't snatch a br don't say it quietly say it out loud let people answer aain let them participate but it changes the entire atmosphere you add light to an otherwise dark room in an otherwise Dark World it changes the whole atmosphere so that's how Reva ends here imagine a person a hundred times a day 100 10 would be a lot 10 times 10 100 times a day you make aing you make aund three times you're already well on your way there a 100 times a day you're concentrating you are the source of all this apple this digestive system this gift of this cup of coffee this everything if you make a what you really do is stop and practice mindfulness a 100 times a day it's the big catchphrase of our time mindfulness mindfulness mindfulness mindfulness mindfulness my friend Dr Benji Epstein just wrote a safer about mindfulness Jewish view on mindfulness I forgot what it's called already but I just picked it up at this farm sale I haven't read it yet but mindfulness the Jewish mindfulness so this is the catchphrase how do you find fulfillment contempt and happiness we're living in a time of noise this constant noise and buzzing and beeping and vibrating and everything is always going off and distracting us and there's got to be the radio on the cell phone's ringing the internet the news is on there's always noise noise noise how can we be mindful how can we be present how can we be conscious and conscientious in our lives so kazal knew the answer before mindfulness was a catchphrase before psychology and pop psychology caught up with mindfulness kazal our rabbis were already telling us this is the prescription for happiness fulfillment contentment taste and you will See's goodness and how do we taste and feel hashem's goodness where is he found May if you say a 100 bras a day a 100 times you interrupted your day you were at work wheeling and dealing and negotiating a business deal and you thought it was all up to you you totally forgot about Hashem punk you make a br in the middle of the business deal you need a drink because it got so heated but you have to make a br I don't care how what a big shot you are in business you got to make AA so when you make that BR on the cup of water you're going to have in the middle of the business deal all of a sudden you've interrupted and you remember ah there's a Hashem I forget he's in charge of this business deal you're at the gym you're working out you think your muscles your health it's all up to you and so on and so forth you drink you need to drink of water you've been working out pun you remember ah there's a Hashem you want mindfulness you want an anchor you want to calibrate to come back what's important 100 bras a day and if you do how much Holiness how much am how much Faith how much recognition would we have on ourselves how much we would increase our year that was the if you make 100as a day it's as if you fulfilled all the mitzvas why is it as if you fulfilled all the mitzvas is that it I could violate chabas violate KAS has violate everything in the world as long as I make 100 bras a day is that meant no of course not what he meant is the whole system of Torah and mitos is a platform to recognize to feel the presence to feel a closeness and intimacy with hem so another way of feeling that in our lives it's 100 bras a day what the Mitzvah are all designed to implement to generate to have us feel 100 bras a day could have us feel interrupt from when you wake up in the morning till you fall asleep at night interrupt your day a hundred times a hundred times and you will feel hashem's presence in your life such Holiness such gratitude such Faith so says let's try this we got to put it into practice next Food you're eating some of you are drinking coffee you have water you already made a br hopefully on that the next thing that you're going to eat or drink and make a br on taste not only the food you're going to eat make the mindful make the intentional attempt to taste spiritually a spiritual taste a spiritual Sweetness in the fruit like anything worthy in life says ra but this takes training it takes practice anything valuable in life you don't pick up in a second takes practice it takes training you have to create habits create the Habit to actually con first of all create the Habit to say a lot of people don't say bras takes a milliseconds to say it's a Mitzvah it's a if you don't say a you're a thief you're a robber you've stolen you cannot hold yourself out to be a moral ethical person if you don't make bras you stolen from God it belongs to God and the currency with which we pay him is a so make a otherwise you're a thief you're not an ethical moral person that's not to suggest that the atheist is by definition immoral or unethical but it means that from our perspective of believing of a world that belongs to God one who takes from it without first saying please and thank you has stolen you're a thief you're a thief that's what's at stake if you neglect to make a Braha is that you're not moral or ethical like you think you are you're a thief so make a Braha number one and number two concentrate learn the Habit one should practice practice concentrating because when we do everything will taste better you won't just be tasting and extracting the physical Pleasant taste you'll be tapping into the spiritual Pleasant Taste of everything that you taste as well being involved in this question takes us from one Deep thing to another and now we get to another idea says r a very very deep idea that's buried in the concept of making says in a person who gives their child over to idolatry it says they they contaminate God's holiness so what does it mean to contaminate God's holiness is that to contaminate God's holy place to contaminate God's holy object says the ran it means to contaminate that which is holiest to God and what's holiest to God us the Jewish people we just read this Trum now we're up to but we read the whole Mish is in my heart I will build a sanctuary a tabernacle for you God we go to holy places in order to stimulate the Holiness within us in order to promote in order to generate in order to build in order to reinforce the Holiness in us to spark the Holiness in us but the real Holiness is where it's in us the other Holiness is superimposed so you have bricks and mortar and you combine it to be a building and you throw in a safer Torah hopefully you plac the saer Torah and now it's holy because it's a sanctuary but the Holiness doesn't come from the bricks and the mortar it comes from the intention and the purpose that we designated it the same is true by the way when it comes to a say Tor itself I get the question at least once a year missionaries come around our neighborhood I don't know why you didn't come back to them that this is not a very uh profitable neighborhood to spend their time missionaries come around the neighborhood and uh some people will they'll knock on the door and they'll engage you but other times you open up your mailbox and you find a Bible nobody's had that I get the question once you they want to know what do I do with it it looks exactly like ourish if you read it it's the same text similar text same text so what do I do with it I say you know what you do with it right in the garbage right in the garbage if a if a heretic if somebody who believes in Jews for Jesus a Messianic Jew they might be the most magnificent scribe who writes the most beautiful font of a saer Torah the perfect in and ink and the perfect parchment and meets all the rules and regulations of writing a sa for Torah and they give you that sa for Torah you know what you do with it WR in the garbage a sa Torah ink and parchment the same exact words he writes it with intent and it looks just like a legitimate Tor what do you do with it this is not me says right in the garbage why because the physical objects of our world don't have inherent Holiness we endow them we imbue them with Holiness based on the intent that we offer them so when a person writes a safer Torah first of all they have to say they have to sayma it has to be written for the right intent just like when you tie situs when you make fillan it has to be done for the right intent if it's done for the wrong intent person who believes in idolatry and paganism person does it for the wrong intent not only is it not holy it is completely mundane it has zero Holiness it goes in the garbage in the garbage in the garbage this relates to our paraa by the way and this week's partial the whole the sin of the golden calf the kuari I always say over this Kari because to me this is the most meaningful interpretation of what's Happening raan also seems to sound like it in the B the Ki says the Jewish people needed a physical means through which to connect to God you can't connect with God through the five senses you can't see him hear him feel him touch him smell him so how do we know he's there how do we connect with him how do we relate and identify with him so we need a physical medium so Moshe served that purpose until they miscalculated and it seemed like he wasn't coming back down from the mountain and they panicked where would they through what would they connect with Hashem so they built an ago not as a way of not as a way of leaving Hashem but in an effort to come closer to him they built their own physical mechanism and hashem's response is that's a legitimate need but you can't do it your way you got to do it my way so what does he give us instead the mishkan he gives us the mishkan I I want to say that that's maybe why in our when mosha appeals to God to forgive them for the agel he says forgive them and if not erase me from your book if not erase me from your book why does erase me from your book well he's a martyr for the Jewish people erase me from your book what kind of threat is this to Hashem first of all Hashem called moshe's Bluff and he did erase him from the book where did he erase him from the book T last week's para Tava at on the surface moshe's name does not appear don't don't don't threaten Hashem he will call your bluff that's why some say erase him from the book that you wrote in the past tense that's why hasm erases him from the last week's para which was to others say is the 20th para Erase Me from from your 20th book the 20th para is par to what was mosha threatening God either forgive them or erase me from your book so I think what mosha perhaps was saying was forgive them because they have a need for something physical if not erase me from your book means erase me I was that physical means I was that way that they connected I was what they were craving I was why they panicked so we can't always says you know you have this phenomenon in a lot of shs that everyone wants to say for Torah to go to the beima on a route where everyone can kiss it touch it and the men and the women and everyone needs to kiss the Torah and he says you know we have to be careful not to turn the Torah into an agel the Torah is a means to connect with hhm it's not an ends on to itself so we serve the Torah the Torah doesn't serve us the Torah is supposed to take the most direct route to the beima not go on a detour it doesn't go on a tour for a kissing tour for everybody to be able to kiss it you want to kiss the Torah make your way to where the Torah is tor do need to kiss it's a good question it's a practice that we inherited it should I'll tell you why because of what is warning if I would if I would announce tomorrow that beginning effective immediately Torah is going to go directly to the Bea and not go along the makas you tell me what my email inbox would look like so but that's a but it's a mistake 90% of the men don't get to kiss the Torah so if the women didn't kiss the Torah 90% of the men don't kiss the Torah it's not so it's not it's not an object that we we we cherish it's an object of affection we tou muza when we walk in a room the gamar quotes from the story of unus Kamar doesn't say you kiss them as you touch them as we expand on it we kiss them as so it's it's an act of affection it's a beautiful Act of affection but we have to be careful not to turn our objects into holy alternatives to the real Source or destination of our worship which should be Theon which should beem you can't turn the sa Torah into aego so why am I sharing all of this with you it's an excellent question and I'm going to remember in one moment why oh that's why because is quoting on this story of M when it says you will contaminate that which is holy to me and Rashi says whom is God describing is that which is holy to me the Jewish people because the only ones who are inherently holy are us are we the Jewish people and why are we inherently holy what do we have that no other object in the world has we have we have a piece of God inside us we have an which is we have a which comes from God literally is extension is a piece of Hashem hey come sit here we did the panel together was so much fun on the cruise come could do a panel discussion on auna so so uh so the only thing that really is a pece of God inherently intrinsically is US everything else that we ascribe with Holiness Torah it's holy because of the intent of the person who produced it but the only thing that can generate Holiness is the intent that we have if a person had the wrong intent the those fill and go in the garbage it's not that oh you know you shouldn't wear them it's not a Mitzvah but dispose of them respectfully garbage garbage the the written by a heretic says has no value because what gives value what gives Holiness we do so therefore we we concede and we forfeit the place and the source of true Holiness which is us and our lives in our rush so you know how it's so frustrating you see this you see people who in the sh are the holiest people they they want the sh to be holy their lives outside of sh don't have to be holy I have people who offer me suggestions and criticism and feedback about what we're not doing that's holy enough in sh the things we need to change to be Holier in sh and outside of Shou they're living entire Unholy lives holy Unholy lives wh holy Unholy lives outside of sh and they've got it entirely backwards the sh doesn't need you to ensure its Holiness the doesn't need to get into SH now of course the way we conduct ourselves the TR is a reflection of us and we've been working on our campaign about not talking and we need to have a campaign about finding people that their cell phones go off and we need to work on how we dress and Sho and how we conduct ourselves in sh and the things we talk about in sh and so on the sh is a holy place and we have to treat it with reverence and with Holiness but we do that to inspire and motivate us so that when we leave Shou we take the charge we take that energy with us in into the rest of what we do the sh's Holiness is because of what we do there and the intent we bring there so to say I'm going to make sh holy and then when I leave sh I go to business and I'm ruthless I'm a ruthless competitor I go to I leave sh I dress however I want I look at whatever I want I eat whatever I want I go wherever I want I do whatever I want I joke however I want I use whatever language I want ah the sh the rabbis is not holy enough Rabbi you're doing this wrong that wrong the other thing wrong the sh has to be so holy but then in my my own life what is that I protect the sh doesn't need your protection Holiness is our heart it's our holy intentions that are what Empower Holiness generate Holiness onto other things okay all that was from Rashi so says the ramban how is it that the whole Jewish people can compromise their Holiness just by the ACT of one person who makes a mistake who does something wrong so the answer is based on a med the med says we have until now discussed that if you eat something without making a you're a no good rotten Thief you've stolen from Theon ah you think you worked hard you earned money you went to Publix you paid for you have the receipt you kept the receipt there's a guy in the sh who I'm good friends with and love to joke with and he's neurotic about security and these kinds of issues he always tells me and we I we once went somewhere together and I bought something in a gas station and I threw the receipt in the garbage and told them hold the receipt he said what are you crazy I said why why do I need that receipt what if in the parking lot they cost you and they say you stole that water that Snapple you need to be able to produce the receed and show you didn't so I'll take that risk with the chances of the chances of that happening right so so until now we spoke about you're stealing from God but says the med if you enjoy and benefit from this world without making a you've stolen not only God from God you've stolen from your fellow Jews you've stolen from the Jewish people so this is incredible ran forget how he's applying this to M to this notion of sacrificing your child but the ran is saying the following incredible Insight he says when you don't make a braa when you swallowed that braa without thinking about it when you made the braa to yourself so you didn't bring it out into the air you didn't cleanse the air you didn't uh enable other people to answer aain you've stolen not only from Hashem you've stolen from your fellow Jews how have you stolen from your fellow Jews what do you owe them about that Apple you paid for the Apple in Publix maybe you grew the Apple in your backyard and plucked it from the apple tree and now you fail to make a br to so okay you did that to Hashem what have you done to your fellow Jew how does that impact your fellow Jew so R is going to say exactly L what you did to your fellow Jew is that when you make a you're not the only benefici you've changed the atmosphere you've cleansed the world the world is contaminated with all kinds of darkness and impure thoughts we had a fly in last week to New York we took of men and in two days we heard from 12 speakers and 12 yeshivas we went all over the New York area one of those days fighting the snow and the sleet and everything else which was miserable was a great reminder we should make a b when we land in Florida first of all you should make several bras you should make several bras coming back from from uh from that area so anyway one of the great great people that we met with was r a sh who's the r of N in Brooklyn he's the son of the or he himself is an author of many many he's a very very holy Jew a very um very strong very strong he he has eyes I've never seen eyes like like this that could bore a hole in the back of your head his eyes are piercing so we sat with him in the basement of his sh his office and just arra sitting around his desk and first he gave us AO and then he opened the floor to questions and there was a whole discussion and one of the things he mentioned why am I raising this one of the things that he mentioned was the power of not only learning Torah every day but when we choose to learn every day and he was encouraging this of men to learn early in the morning rather than late at night and the reason he said is the air is cleaner in the morning than it is at night and what did he mean he said late at night late at night even deep into the night 1 2 in the morning the nightclubs are open and the activities nefarious activities and activities that are inconsistent with Holiness are going on in the world and the air is contaminated the atmosphere is contaminated when you wake up first thing in the morning the who were doing all those things late at night now they've passed out now they're fast asleep even uh you know by by 5 6:00 in the morning that's when the air is pure so he said not only do you have the most energy do you have the most Clarity of thought not only is it the right way to start the day he was giving all the reasons but he said from a sort of mystical perspective of the world which is where he lives the mystical perspective of the world the air is clearer it's lighter your your your positive Torah thoughts and the light of Torah doesn't have to navigate and find its way through the darkness and the contamination in the environment and in the atmosphere do you not know what that means means exactly I don't know that I know exactly what that means but I know that it spoke to me I know there something powerful I know that there are Jews alive who can still see in the air contamination and I don't just mean you know global warming and uh whatever contamination you know there's that whole discussion is is global warming our greatest threat so R would say this the the the spiritual global warming the contamination spiritually in the air is our greatest threat so that's what the rambana is saying here what the rambana is saying is that if you ate something and you didn't make a br you didn't contribute to cleaning the air you didn't contribute to the atmosphere and the environment the way you could have your BR brought out into the world would have brought more light down we said it's all about intent Holiness is the result of the intent we bring the world so if we had a holy intent for Hashem to reside here in the in the world de that Holy intent would have brought Hashem down hashem's presence would change the atmosphere Holiness godliness would change the atmosphere you didn't make a braa or you swallowed the braa or you said the braa silently to yourself you didn't contribute what you could have in order to bring hashem's presence in order to cleanse the atmosphere so he now he's going to go into this ran does not need our God is not waiting he doesn't line up he doesn't need us to say him Hashem is perfect omnipotent infinite all powerful all knowing he does not need our however he did set up the world where he put the power in our hands to expand his presence in this world he doesn't need our but he needs us to be the conduit through which he has expression in this world and that's what we say in it is it's on us give might give power give expression to God why is calling on us to give might to give expression to give power to God let God he has all the power we're powerless he's all powerful so isn't it backwards why is calling on us to give power so says it's true God's power is in the heavens but he withdrew and constricted himself to enable and Empower us down here on Earth to give him expression when we make a br we say thank God and please God and with God's help and we recognize and show appreciation to God and we turn and long and have our hope for God and when we sit because we're conflicted and not sure what to do we say let's pray on it let's ask God to give us some insight let's ask God to help us come to to an understanding when we make a window an opening last night we spoke about the the thir was a great-grandson of Kat of the katar the first s was a son-in-law of the katar so we spoke about Kat as a background to S so the kutar Abba famously said he was a little boy when he first said it he was asked as a little boy somebody pinched his cheek and said little kater they didn't call the kutar then it was men Morganstern if you know a Morgan and they likely descend from I have a colleague and friend Jonathan Morganstern his email address is kutar he's he's a descendant of the kutar if you're a Morgan Stone you're a descendant of the kutar so the kutar was asked as a little boy they pinched his cheeks they said where can Hashem be found basically Have you listened to Uncle musi where can you find Hashem and what did the katar answer wherever you let him in wherever you let him in Hashem relies on us to let him in meaning he fills the entire world he's everywhere but you have to put on the special glasses to see him so on the one hand he's everywhere but you have to be wearing the glasses to see him so we put the glasses on the world we are the ones who by talking about Hashem bring him down to this world this is our work and through that will be our Merit our mission is to walk around and be walking K to be in the supermarket at the gym at work in our homes with all with whom we interact to talk about God to talk about people believe in God because we speak about him so there's no ad there's no speaking about him more than making a here's the homework for next week not that you ever do my homework if you were really if this were really a class you'd all be failing out so here's the homework for next week we're not finishing but we can finish what time is it here's the homework for next week the homework for next week is make every BR out loud I don't care if you're by yourself in a room you'll change the whole atmosphere of the room if you make a br out loud you can't be you're watching something inappropriate but you want to drink so you make a br you're going to turn it off you can't continue you've changed the Holiness the atmosphere in the room you've just invoked God you put him in the room he's now sitting next to you you're going to watch that Schmutz with him sitting next to you it changes the atmosphere in the room when you're by yourself make a bro out loud you're around your children your grandchildren your spouse your great nephew make a bro out loud and here's the real homework when you're with someone with whom it will be uncomfortable interrupt and make a br out loud don't put your hand over your mouth and Mumble while you take the drink because you're meeting a friend who's not religious for coffee you're in a business setting you're at the gym you stop and you interrupt and you say could you give me just one second I want to drink this but I want to thank God for the privilege of having this coffee with you it's so nice to be with you and this coffee is so delicious and I'm so grateful for it could you give me a millisecond to thank God make a bro out loud I will bet you my life savings okay I will bet you my half of our life savings is that okay I'll bet you my half of our life savings that the person not only will not be weirded out freaked out bugging out the person will not only not be turned off the person will be impressed and they'll say wow they may be an atheist an agnostic they may not believe in God they're going to say wow for this coffee you know I never really thought about what goes into a coffee or how how grateful we should be for having this coffee so that's your home for next week make every Brock out loud not when it's easy when you're alone not when it's easy when there people around you who are running to answer aain but make every bro out loud even when it means saying to someone could give me half a second I'm so excited to be able to be with you and enjoy this I just need to say a blessing before we before we continue and you'll see your life will change you'll see your life will change because not only will you change for yourself that lunch that coffee will be more delicious than any other coffee TAMU just taste you know why cuz the coffee now remember we just said we ascribe Holiness so whether it's ink and a parchment and a saer Torah which if a Min a heretic wrote it you throw it in the garbage but if a holy scribe wrote it you have to fast if you drop it on the floor so the same is true with your Apple or cup of coffee if you ignore it and you don't make a br it's just an apple it's just a cup of coffee but if you ascribe your intent your Holiness you've transformed the Apple you've transformed the cup of coffee Tam you're only not only going to taste the sweetness of the Apple you're not only going to taste the caffeine jolt of the Cofe coffee but you're going to taste Hashem make a 100 bras a day and you're going to taste Hashem if a 100 times in your day you interrupt to say thank you you think at the end of that day you're not going to appreciate wow I have a 100 reasons a day to say thank you no matter how many reasons a day I have to complain and be faisa and miserable and resentful and bitter but I have a hundred times a day to say thank you I have 100 times a day that I'm blessed you think at the end of that day you're not going to see Hashem when you're tasting the food taste it by making a spiritually taste it and the result the consequence will be you'll see that hasem is good that's on us when Alisha was the last K before the destruction of the B mikdash and he entered the B mikdash and he went into the holy of holies and God spoke to this K God in the holy of holies and what did he say I'm not going to sing it for you but a does what is walks into the holy of holies he has access to God in a greater way than any other human being nobody else is allowed to go in there and what does God say to him says I need you to do something for me what does he need to do for him give me a br and in fact he gives him a br what does God need what you giving God that God needs so if you look at that GAR they had a learnon on Sunday I forgot which organization maybe a time somebody had a learnon so in the front row of the learnon it was a group men in a room finishing shs together in one day dividing sh and finishing sh in one day so in the front were Mor B David and AED sitting next to each other so somebody took the picture and put you know like the blurb like a cartoon that shows you what they're saying so they had Mor B David saying as if he was learning the words of one of his famous songs and they had a freed learning the words of his famous song I think it might have been this and so what is it that hm needs a for says give me a you know what needs a for give me a that I find expression in this world that people see me that I have a give me a that people have intent and endow and imbue my presence in all that they are doing give me that and from here we learn don't take the of anyone for granted even Hashem the almighty the infinite God wants a from a lowly finite human being and we too shouldn't dismiss the BR of anybody we line up to go to Holy rebba holy to get a you know what your St neighbor gives you a the St person you know gives you a no one should take any of those so again we see this notion giving you homework your homework is compounding by the way you can't you still have to say the first paragraph of benching now you have multiple pieces of homework so this is the measure what doesm want from us 100 times a day to taste his presence to to cleanse his air to have intent and mindfulness which gives him expression down here in this world so your homework make every BR out loud let other people answer amain let those who've never seen anyone say thank you to God for something they're going to eat let them see that and then you've given Hashem the greatest BR that you can
