[Music] first and foremost in regards to sh one of the main things that I got from it is that in reality according to the it is the most important day in history why because kazal tells us that since hem came to all of the nation and offered them the Torah and they rejected it all of the malim were very scared because they knew that if am rejects the Torah Hashem will bring back the world to to of will destroy the world why because the Torah is the purpose of this world that's why hasem created it 974 Generations before he created the world in essence the Jewish people were in essence became Jewish because of the Torah they weren't Jewish before obviously as you've learned fromi many many times before the Torah we were is before that before that we were Hebrews but if someone else came to mount sa Shalom and accepted the Torah and we didn't they would be the Jews so in essence the most important day in history is SH now why do we go over the Torah or leash try because hasem is trying to give us a little bit of a taste of the beauty of the Torah but in reality we can't finish it we can't finish the Torah and that's why in you'll see that it's not your oblig to finish the Torah said to R once you haven't come visit me in a long time I have so much Torah to teach you he says how much Torah do you have he says if all of the water was ink and all of the trees were pens and all of the land was paper it wouldn't be enough to write down the Torah that I know and that is not even a close amount to the real Torah what's the real Torah I'll give you an understanding of what we have now we got the Torah in Mount Si but as said we got a little bit of a lower version after our sin but we still got the Torah the Torah later was given from generation to generation to 24,000 students of abaka unfortunately all died then we were started all over again with five of RAB AA students and Raba himself all the way to today but now if you connect the holidays if you go back to pesak it's a very important holiday it's the Exodus we left Egypt we turned around history in one way that's never been done before and never will will be done again the slave turned into the master and we go from SIM to sim but in the middle we have a problem in the middle we have 34 days of disaster the 24,000 students OFA died during this time so what's the connection so during one of I do a short on What's happen it's on different uh places that people like is usually 15 minutes and I tried to connect the three things why did hasem take us from SIM to sim but in the middle there's a disaster first off he wanted to tell us that the purpose of us leaving is to get the Torah whoever didn't want to get the Torah died as we know at least 80% of theim died in Egypt the Torah is later on but in the middle he wanted to explain to us what we actually have because if we don't know what we have we usually don't appreciate it so the Torah that we got according to it says that we had 55 prophets 48 males and seven females in our tanak but in history we had over 1.2 million prophets so we're missing a few their Torah was holy too what happened to them Hashem told us that their Torah was only relevant their NE their prophecy actually but I said their prophecy was only relevant to their generation which means that the 55 remaining prophets whatever came out of their mouth every single letter that's written in the Torah is relevant to every single generation until the end of time so no one could ever say like the reforms and the conservatives and any other Wicked person in between can never say hey no this is not relevant to today today you're allowed to drive because Moses didn't have a car you're allowed to drive on Shabbat he didn't have a car that's why he didn't drive you can't you can't say that why because if Hashem said their Torah their n their prophecy is relevant for all all all time that's it but now we only have their prophecy we only have their part of the Torah out of the 1.2 million so already we know we're missing a bunch and out of those 55 they we got down to 24,000 students but out of the 24,000 students we don't have all of their Torah we only have the Torah of six R and has five students so what would happen if hasem said you know what it was about 700 of the greatest sages in history dying per day we don't just mourn because we have nothing else to do we MN because we're missing their Torah if you go on for example Hebrew books.com they have over 75,000 Hebrew Books holy books for free and he wants to download read and so on and there's hundreds of thousands of differentes that you could learn from Torah is endless but all of what we have today is just from six people which means that if hasem would have skipped one day said you know what today I'm not going to kill the 700 so so we'll have Torah of 706 imagine how much Holiness this world would have the beauty of it is that hasem obviously knew that even what we have from the six he has to practically beg us to read but at least now you know that when you get to sh hem is trying to give you a message I only took you out of Egypt for this Torah it's the only reason if you didn't want the Torah I left you there and you died in the plague of Darkness the uh Mak Darkness you're going to get the Torah but if I would have given it to you without you knowing how much it's worth you'd get there you say nah I like Harry Potter better and you move along but now that we know how much Beauty we have from the little we have we yearn for so much that we're missing
