[Applause] it's time for rabbi Minko it's weekly Torah lesson here with his spiritual perspective and insight rabbi Mingo it's welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is partially through the question of the week is what is the greatest gift from God so in this week's Torah portion we learn about the ten commandments God gives us the Ten Commandments which essentially is the Ten Commandments no all Torah but the question has asked Abram already gave the study Torah and observe the commandments the patriarch Isaac Jacob so what's the great novelty of this week where God gives us the Ten Commandments in the Torah since what islands or inches like this that when the patriarchs study Torah and did the myths vote it was in the level of Raya what what means react it was a smell it wasn't it was external it wasn't what does that mean it was external it was not able to permeate the physical world matter of fact they put on tefillin and afterwards they were disposable because it was not the spirituality was not able to infuse in the physical world however once God gave the Torah at Mount Sinai in this week's Torah portion the Torah that we have in the mitzvahs are like chemin chemin means it's the essence of the Torah that means when you put on tefillin now that Stillen becomes a holy article and you cannot go ahead god forbid and dispose of it if it's in a case where it becomes disqualified you have to bury it in other words after the toe was given we have the power to transform the physical world into a godly place and that is why ever since the Torah was given God can be found everywhere now where did that come from and the answer is because what is the first word in the Ten Commandments it says unlike you what it means anarchy Anarchy means the essence of God the essence of God reveal themselves and because the essence of God revealed himself in God is everywhere everywhere in this world the essence of God is the earth our job by studying Torah and praying doing it so it is we have to connect to God everywhere into this in this world so the answer the question what is the greatest gift God gave us the great gift that God gave us is that he is in every single place and every single person in this world and by studying Torah and doing myth stones and praying and meditating opening our eyes we can connect to God wherever we are thanks for joining us this week's Torah lesson is dedicated in the memory of Barak Benari Labe and van Yosef may their souls be elevated by the Torah was studying in their memory for more information please see our website [Music]
