Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Nasso 5781

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is parishes the question of the week is why is it so important to learn togo so in this week's torah portion partially nussari we learn about the gifts that were given by the naseem the princesses of the jewish people representing each tribe after it says what each tribe brought so then it makes a total and when it speaks about the ladles that they gave so it says they gave 12 a total one for each tribe but then it says the weight the measurement was a sarah assal each one weighed ten shekel so the question is why does it say a sorrow twice a sarah way ten shekel so the rabbit brings a powerful insight from the zoya desire says we're dealing with a spiritual level here what does that mean that when it says asura twice one is referring to the 10 utterances that hashem used to create the world and the second asari is referring to the ten commandments in other words the power that hashem used to create the world that sorry my morals comes from the ten commandments and whoever says we find this idea in the talmud because the talmud says and reference the creation of the world so it says it was the first day the second day shaini ravi every single day when it came to the sixth day it says hashishi the sixth day it ends the letter hey so the talmud says why by hashish and add a letter hey and the talmud says because she she is reference to the sixth day of the month of stephen we just celebrated the day we received the torah and it was the whole creation hashishi every one of the six days of creation is dependent upon us learning the torah and whoever brings actually a fascinating idea from the market of his rich who says the opening of the ten commandments starts off hashem and god spoke el marisha lemur the verse finishes off lamers the first word is by you bear and the second the last word is lamer so the market says that hashem connects the two in other words by idaho he's saying these deburium these ten commandments i'm giving you i'm giving to you to be able to laymar to be able to continue to create and recreate the world so you see even in the ten commandments the amira of creating the world and the deeper is connected so to answer the question why is it important to learn torah because by us learning torah we actually give the power through torah that the world should stay created and constantly be recreated from hashem so we have tremendous power by learning torah we're literally keeping the spiritual and the physical world alive thanks so much for joining us for our weekly torah lesson this week's torah lesson is dedicated to memory of baruch banari labe many yosef and rocco may their souls be elevated for the torah we're studying in their memory for more information please see our website khabadswf.org have a great and blessed week thanks so much for joining us for our weekly torah lesson
