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 this week's Torah
portion is partials hookahs the question
of the week is our irrational
Commandments important so in this week's
Torah portion actually named cucas which
means a statue which means basically we
know that MIT's vote you have a
dose-response them and cookin miss
button are laws that irrational a this
our testimonials or something that
happens in the Jewish people like we
celebrate Passover because we went out
of Egypt and hooking are the
commandments that are irrational like
the whole laws of this week's Torah
portion of purity and impurity which are
beyond rationale so the Rebbe ass is
very simple question the logical MIT's
vote obviously makes sense the ones that
we do is a testimony their testimony for
something that's great but what's the
whole idea of the irrational
Commandments solar be explains very
powerful insight nice is as follows
ultimately every single Mitzvah even the
ones that are rational even the ones
that are our testimonial and more
importantly obviously the ones are
irrational openly the essence of all the
myths votes are there God's will in
Hebrew it's called its ruts on a shame
it's the will of a sham the will of a
sham is not about details and it's not
about the rational part and sign about
the testimonial part the will of a shunt
mean it's the will of a shell and
therefore either you're doing the will
of a sham or you're not doing the will
of a Shem and that's basically the
essence of every Mitzvah so really in
every mud small you have an irrational
component but more importantly the
irrational component is the connection
because why do we do the Mitzvah why do
we study Torah do any myths vote is
because God commanded us so we're doing
the will of a Shem which is basically an
irrational connection to God so
therefore when a person does what we
call may be a small Mitzvah big mitzvah
a beautiful a mitzvah the truth is from
a irrational perspective they're all the
same because it's all an opportunity to
connect to God so to answer the question
how should you
serve the irrational mates vote the way
you observe any Mitzvah and more
importantly through the irrational
Commandments that's the way you connect
to God on the deepest level because
you're doing the will of a Shem this
week's Torah lesson is a memory of bora
pandari leave and ben Yosef may
their souls be elevated to the Torah
that we're studying in their memory
