welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's term portion is posture is braces the question of the week is why do bad things happen so in this week's turn portion partials braces the term begins and it says voracious in the beginning Hashem created now we know how some has many names but the name that it uses for Hashem is Elohim so the balsamtov asks a very simple question Elohim we know his judgment youth came up compassion so why is creation God's creating the world why does he use the name Elohim not only that the name of the Kim is mentioned 32 times in creation why Elohim so the balcanto explains and he said something very powerful and very very deep and he says as follows which means to create also means to reveal elokim which means judgment means that we're here to reveal the real God the infinite God that's hiding in the concealment of him and the river explains based on a verse and testing the prophets Isaiah it says pick up your eyes on high or ooh and see my barela who created this world who created the world that looks like God Is concealed God is hiding now if you look at the word me borrow Ayla do you ever saw something very very powerful what does it say in the talk voracious in the beginning borrow create which is to reveal Elohim which is a concealed part of God when you pick up your eye your eyes are high or ruin what you're supposed to see here me borrow Ayla so Barra is creation just like in the beginning of creation and me and Ayla is the same letters of this of God's name Elohim is spelled alif lamid hey yudmem and me is hey it's the same letters so when we go ahead and we ask the simple question who created these challenges who created the concealment what we will get to see is that beyond the challenges and Beyond the bad things and beyond all the negative that we see we see Hashem is really orchestrating everything and since Hashem is orchestrating and we know it's all good so the answer the question why do bad things happen why do is there challenges why are there struggles in the world so that we can pick up our eyes and look deeper into the struggles and we will see Hashem is running the world Hashem loves us so someone wants us to have a great life and we will see that Hashem is the one that's operating at all and that will give us the ability to connect to a deeper place of Hashem thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lessons dedicated to the memory of Baruch binary lab Shalom and Cena batsara may your souls be elevated by the Torah we're studying in their memory for more information please see our website khabad swf.org have a great and blessed week shavua told
