A Beginners Guide to Learning Torah and Loving HaShem

[Music] if you're learning Torah properly you have to  learn all parts of the Torah in order to serve   the Creator at the ultimate level I spoke to one  of my students a few days ago we talked about a   study program people ask all the time what they  should study it's not rocket science I'm polite   you have to study everything but if you want some  type of structure this is what you're supposed to   do first and foremost it's a lock I'm Johanna  Lu to learn the weekly polish' with commentary   you have to learn the weekly polish out with  commentary realistically you have to read it   three times twice just read the Polish ah and  the third time with commentary which means that   every day you're gonna spend a little bit of time  learning the pawnshop commentary means learning   it with the commentary by Rashi originally it was  on kilos but ha ha Meem said that Rashi is fine as   well especially since most people don't know how  to read uncle Oh sand don't understand it so read   the Pasha with commentary that already gives you  at least 15 minutes 15 to 30 minutes a day worth   of learning in addition to that you have to learn  a lot ah you have to learn how to be a Jew its   along what to do well you should start with is  a la hoja bot and the reason why is because of   the hot Shabbat is the difference between life  and death even though you should learned a lot   of blessings that's the first Kumagai is uh my  second book Holt if you forget a blessing or   you make a mistake in a blessing it's not a death  penalty but if you make a mistake on Shabbat it's   a death penalty so first thing you need to know  you need to learn a lot but every day you learn a   couple about a whole two three four five six seven  whatever it is spend 15 minutes a day learning all   the hood fifteen minutes you read let's say for  example if your Safari couch you'll cut yourself   in English or an Ebru I'm sure they have many  many more options even if you're asking Ozzie   available an art school feldheim in other places  many of the haha mean wrote a very simple way of   learning allaha if you can only spend fifteen  to thirty minutes learning Alec ah don't learn   it from the zoo Honolulu why because Ronald who  requires you to delve into things to understand   a much deeper don't learn don't think that you  could learn on a half from the game aha the Maya   is not to learn Alejandra my eyes to learn how  to think how you learned from the poskim but   you have to learn in the beginning stages if  you about you've ah convert you have to learn   it bottom line yes no yes no yes no that's what  you need to learn just to get through the day so   you spend 15 to 30 minutes a day learning a lot  ah so now you have weekly Pacha and ala ha the   third thing is that you must learn as you must  learn moussala you must learn at least fifteen   to thirty minutes a day of Musa what's Musa  are lectures you learned our lectures that's   your Musa why cuz every show is at least want to  tell you that get it on the head remind you that   you're supposed to do Chiba reminds me that  I'm supposed to do Chula that's what masalas   moosari is reminding us that was still trying  to refine ourselves in order to become diamonds   it's not judging anyone we're not a judge were  not a jury what Mousavi's is reminding us that   we're all trying to become the diamonds that  Hashem wants us to be and in order to become   a diamond you must go under pressure you must be  cut a few times it hurts to become a diamond but   it's worth it in the end become priceless so the  only way to do that is by learning moosung there's   countless moose are books out there if you want  to reach from a book whether it's path of the   just or it's a native a all or always saying or  for what to live a vote its countless other ones   out there that you can learn moose are books at  least 15 to 30 minutes a day if you are at a point   where you've done your doing all three of those  already for a while you're learning the weekly   pasa on a regular basis you're learning all the  car on a regular basis you're learning we saw on   a regular basis for an extended period of time  then it's time for you as a man to add mana now   if that mother again at least another half hour a  day if not more of course everything should be as   much as possible but you see just to learn the  basics the basics you can't get away with less   than an hour a day of Torah you can't get away  even if you're going to the minimum of minimum   these four things require no less than an hour  in reality should be an hour of each one but the   minimum minimum requires you to study at least  an hour a day so for all of those people say   when I tell listen you have to learn till eyes  like oh could I just learn for like ten minutes   here like a video clip they send me a what's up  and I'm fine yeah you're fine if it's your first   day your first week your first month even the  first six months of realizing that you're a Jew   after that it's not enough why because you're not  going to learn enough on that one video clip so   it's important to know that these are four things  a woman should focus on the laws of modesty the   laws of cannot miss bahar the laws of Shabbat the  laws of child-rearing how to raise children those   are the main things that a woman should focus on  instead of the Kamala but the key is a bow tie   is that all of these teachings if you take them  and your discipline and he takes them seriously   you're gonna realize that each time you learn a  little bit more you're coming closer and closer   to him you're coming closer and closer to really  loving him and not just saying you love him to   people and for all of those people say they love  a sham first of all you should know you're full   of it because if you love the sham you'll be  in a completely different level you would have   no struggles with in regards to any of the meat  slit because like we said loving loving someone   means that you're doing something just because  just because not because of any other reason   so if you're struggling with a certain meats not  whether is you can't get away from a certain hobby   that's not allowed or you can't get away from  a certain woman that's not allowed or certain   other sin that's not allowed and you're having  a struggle that means you don't love a [ __ ]   means you love yourself and you're struggling  with a certain issue but that doesn't make you   bad it makes it's okay it's normal but don't start  screaming them evil no no I love a shame I love a   sin first you have to learn what it means to love  and the key is is that Ash M put us in this world   in order to reach the level of loving him because  if we get to a level of loving him not only does   he give us the special protection that we talked  about not only does he give us the special   blessings that we talked about but also all of  the sins we've ever made in our life turn into   meat smooth it's the ultimate reward in this world  the ultimate reward in this world is where a champ   takes all of the sins you've ever made in your  life and turns them into meat slit meaning it's   it's it's it's definitely a worthwhile endeavor  to try to get there but you're not gonna get to   overnight first you have to fear Ashim serve  and purely out of fear then respect honor of   the or the majesty of a sham get to the highest  level and ultimately get to love realistically   anyone that ever gets that usually has certain  things they're purely afraid of certain things   they love but then it's always a balance there's  never just one or the other but the key is a bow   tie is that a chef gave us this mission because  we could achieve it every single one of us can   achieve it but it's only if we get out of our  own way we are we have to start getting out of   our own way we have to stop telling ourselves  this horrible mantra I can't do it this is too   hard this is too this this is too that and do it  just do it failed do it again fail do it again   and keep doing it stop saying oh maybe I should do  this or maybe I should do that maybe I should go   here maybe I should go maybe nothing get the word  maybe out of your vocabulary either do it or be   quiet we have to move forward why because we have  a lot of work to do we have a lot of work to do [Music]
