it's time for rabbi Minko it's weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi Mingo it welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
sponsor shows them the question of the
week is what is closer to God our
thoughts or actions so in this week's
our report from Pontius officer we learn
about the mitzvot about not to destroy a
tree and the Torah tells us kion down
makes us so that because man is like
between the field in other words we are
compared to a tree not only that we find
in the mission and the mission is like
this that a person that his actions are
much stronger than his Torah so that's
like someone that has like it has a tree
that's very very strong with a lot of
roots and even if tremendous winds come
the winds will not destroy the tree
because the roots are there so the same
thing also a person that maybe doesn't
study as much tourists you ever have as
many leaves but he has strong roots
don't we ask the question the roots
really should be our start Torah study
because when we study Torah that gives
us wrong roots of strong roots and then
we'll be doing a lot of mitzvot but here
you see the Torah compares the mission
of computers our Mitzvah is two roots
and our Torah study to the lease and
Ravi explains why is that because when
it comes to our intellect and our Torah
study what happens is we can study and
study a lot of Torah but we can use a
lot of our ideas and our intellect and
and it could be tainted the way we think
as God gave us the power to think
however when we do a mitzvah its God
that created the Mitzvah we're just
doing it so anytime you do a mitzvah
whose mix are you doing you're doing
God's Mitzvah so it's guaranteed that
who's what are you doing it's it's a
Shannon Smith so that you're doing
versus your idea and your thought
cabinets are should be should be done so
in other words to answer the question
what is closer to God our thoughts our
actions and you see clearly that our
actions are much more closer to God why
because
person does elipse law you're doing what
God wants versus what you want
