Torah is NOT Always Logical (8 Minutes)

[Music] how do we know that hasem not only wants but expects completion in our mitv in our words in our speeches in our communication between husband and wife how do we know how do we know hasem expects this we learn it from this week's says this is the decree of the entire Torah say also has the same root of the word Kakak means engraved says a Jew needs to treat the Torah not like it's handwriting where you write just you put the uh ink on the paper or paint on the paper or on the wall why that's erasable there water all types of things all types of chemicals come eventually the the the ink goes away the ink goes away hasem says this this whole tah has to be engraved meaning it becomes part of you when you engrave something when you engrave something there's no way to undo it why you've taken a piece of the rock or whatever Material off and you've made whatever you've engraved part of it you can't erase it it's you now this is you yeah but I'm not sure it's you already you this is the Torah and where does he say it how come he doesn't say it when we got the Ten Commandments he didn't say hey these are Ten Commandments he didn't say oh this Ten Commandments this is alar he didn't say that when does he say it he said it on theah what's the significance was gifted bigger than all people that ever existed and ever will exist until mashia will come say that the mashia will have bigger than but had if it wasn't written we wouldn't be allowed to say it literally one level below God something that is unfathomable for us to understand and he thought with all of his that he understood the entire T he understood the entire T but if if you look at Ecclesiastes chapter 7: 23 schl says I said I would be wise but it is far from me I thought I was going to be wise thought I knew the whole thing but now I know it's far from me what is he talking about so the first explanation is he's talking about he says I thought I knew the whole Tor but now I arrived at this mitvah this red heer and I realize I have no idea what's going on here what do you mean it's just you take the par you burn it you add a few things to it like AEM said everybody's pure what's the problem no not why you read the rest of the verse you say wait a minute the guy that purified everyone he's to me what do you mean but he purified everyone yeah now he's T what happened he stepped on the mud he stepped on on the dead no no he's T okay fine he's Tam all right what about the what what happens then because the guy that helped him he's also Tam but what he didn't do anything he helped them he's T and the GU that helped them he's also T so the pure become impure and the impure becomes pure says this doesn't make any sense to a human being even with my this I thought I was wise I thought I knew the whole Tor but now I know it's far from me L far from me he says it's not just the par it's the entire Tor meaning I thought the Torah is supposed to be logical at all times and I realized I was wrong sometimes there are things that are very logical it's logical why you should keep kosher it's logical why you should be modest as a woman it's logical why you're supposed to be modest as a man it's logical why you're supposed to have family Purity it's logical but it's not logical why hasem cares if you wear shes it's not logical why you could drive a car six days a week but you can't drive the car on the seventh day you can't drive a k Shabbat it's not logical you can tell me it's fire okay so what it's good for so I can't so why TR shut off the whole week then if it's so bad if it's so bad to drive a car in Shabbat let me just be a let me just not drive the whole car the whole week let me live in a little igloo in Greenland so you see that is trying to understand and then he realized he doesn't understand what doesn't he understand he doesn't understand the entire Torah why because he thought it's supposed to be logical and Torah is not logical there are many things that are logical about the Torah but we do not perform those mitv because they're logical the only reason and I repeat the only reason not one of the reasons not the main reason the only reason why we perform the mitv of the Tor is because hasem said so that's it anything you use on top of it to give yourself good for you but bottom line because that's the only reason and this is why the chabbat says that hasem only created the world for you to fear Him meaning if you lived 60 70 80 90 years 120 years and you had it was worth it for him to create the entire world just for you but if you lived 120 years and you didn't not you did not achieve it was better off for him to destroy the whole world why the whole world only exists because he wants us to fear Him Now there's different levels of fear but nonetheless a person needs to understand that fear is the first step in our relationship with hasem it's the first step because that means we understand what we're dealing with here you don't fear hem how you going to do what he wants oh I like him okay what happens if you don't like him oh I love him what happens if you don't love him anymore you woke up on the left side of the bed you can eat shrimp because you don't like him today you're going to date a non-jew because you have some financial problems like him a lot of people like each other and they get divorced no but I really loved him okay until you didn't loving Hashem is not a foundation loving hasem is something you hope to get to after you have fear of hem [Music]
