it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi megawatts welcome to this
week's Torah lesson since we are
celebrating short on Sunday and Monday
so we're going to discuss a question
about road and the question is why is it
a mitzvah to eat a festive meal uncooked
so when the corner of the Jewish law
tells us in reference to all the
holidays that you have to obviously have
a spiritual day studying you pray and
you also have to add a festive meal but
when it comes to srode everybody agrees
that you must have a physical food
materialistic food good food
manufacturing Billy dairies and be like
meat and some people you know have the
runway only wait a while the second meal
but to Mitzvah and Schwartz specifically
to eat a matter of fact in a lot of fast
at all not even let's see someone had a
bad dream which sometimes you're allowed
to ensure it into mitzvos exclusively
the afty and the question is why so he
brings out an interesting idea and he
says as follows that we find that Pesach
why why are we celebrating because we
were literally slaves our physical life
was in danger Sukkot why we celebrate
sukkot because when we left Egypt we
didn't have physical shelter so we're
celebrating Sukkot so but smoothest is
unique that it was not a physical danger
or physical need that we had was because
we received a spiritual gift what was a
spiritual gift the Torah the rebbe says
in Pesach and Sukkot since we the reason
why we're celebrating is because of a
physical gift we don't have to highlight
it by eating something physical however
when it comes to show us what really was
celebrating is a spiritual gift the gift
of the Torah so one might think and say
oh guess what should be spiritual
holiday no eating which is you know
Kemal connect with God on a totally
spiritual level and that's what we
specifically make sure to eat and truest
to show that the purpose is not for us
to take a spiritual high but the idea is
to take the toilet that we received as a
gift the spiritual gift and to bring it
down to the physical world by making
blessings and eating the food and the
and making the blessings afterwards
ideas to bring the physically spiritual
blessings into the materialistic world
so the answer the question why we
typically untrue out is because since
it's a spiritual holiday we want to make
sure that spiritual energy gets
translated into the physical world
