Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Holiday of Simchat Torah 5782

welcome to our weekly torah lesson this week we're celebrating the holiday of simcha's torah and the question of the week is why is the how they assume khastura celebrated by dancing with the torah so the rebel asks a very simple question we know in the torah it says clearly that the torah is him the torah is our intellect wisdom of hashem so if it's intellect and wisdom seemingly if we're celebrating similar story we should sit down learn some mishna mysticism that so you should celebrate it have some beautiful lectures but why is it specifically celebrated just by dancing with the torah so the rabbit brings a famous meadows to mentor says like this that the truth is that at cerris the holiday of shemini at terrace and simcoe should have been 50 days after yantiv just like we find that at sarah schwa is to celebrate 50 days after pesach so why is it celebrated right away so the medrash gives a parable there was a king that the king had his daughters that came to visit him on one one specific day and he said you know what happens is that i really would like you to come back but the ones that are close it's easy to come back the ones that are far it's hard for them to come back so let's celebrate right now so the madras gives it says as follows that when it comes to pesach we're going in from the winter season to the summer season so it's easy to travel so we can come back 50 days later unsure to celebrate with god however now after the month of tishrei we're leaving the summer and we're going into the winter it's hard to travel so hashem says no no let's make the celebration right now in other words what's the one day we're referring to that that we came to hashem and hashem said stay for one day celebration it's referring to yom kippur and on yom kippur hashem says i would love for you to stay and because i don't want you to travel back and forth because we're going into the winter so therefore we'll do celebration right now sim caster awareness miniatures now what does jim kippur resemble so we know yum kippur resembles oneness so why because yum kippur represents oneness in space it was done in the holy of holies yom kippur is done in time the oneness of the one day of young kipper and it's also the oneness of the high priest so it's all connected to the oneness so sim has torah is the day the extra day that we're staying after yom kippur since what is jim kippur it's all about the oneness so simcha's torah has to be have celebrated also with the oneness but if you sit down and learn torah so this one understands on this level this one understands on a different level but when you come to dance with the torah everyone dances the same exact way so the answer to the question why is torah celebrated by dancing with the torah because since simcha's terrorists connected to him kippur it's all about the oneness of hashem and the oneness of the jewish people so we celebrate it in a unified way and the unified way to celebrate the holiday of simcha's terrorists specifically when everyone dances all in unity and there's no different levels of intellect it's all one big dance to hashem so let's hope and pray we all dance together with unity and we connect to the oneness of hashem thanks so much for joining us for our weekly tour lesson this week's torah lessons dedicated to the memory of baruch and joseph and may their souls be elevated by torah with studying in their memory have a great and blessed week happy sukkas and happy sumkas toriro and we should all celebrate together in your shalayim ir hakoidesh
