it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi megawatts welcome to this
week's Torah lesson this week's Torah
portion is precious baku kosai the
question of the week is how do you know
when you're really happy so in this
week's Torah portion part is become
kosai the Torah tells us that in the
hoco site to lay who if you walk into
the statutes of God if you follow God
then you observe his Commandments this
mess also this moto x see smells when
you'll do all of its vote in your study
tour etc so totally tells us I'm going
to tell you what your reward is going to
be and the Torah says I'm gonna give you
reign in its time and the earth is going
to give its produce the HSN aut imperio
and all the trees in the fields and ago
off the fruit so the Rebbe has a simple
question we're dealing with somebody we
just said that studies tour on does
mitzvahs and has a relationship with God
and praise so we're saying okay what's
your reward reward is physical things
shouldn't reward be some spiritual stuff
some spiritual experience being a place
in the world to come which is all true
but why is it tour specifically mention
physical things up until like a fruit a
fruit is going to be the tree is going
to give more fruit I mean these are
physical materialistic things that
shouldn't be a reward seemingly for
studying Torah and following the ways of
a Shem but their Airy brings out and in
the country here you see what the Torah
is the goal of the Torah and of the
midst vote and prayer is that we should
be able to take this physical world and
transform the world into a physical
place so how do you know that a person
studying Torah doing metal and praying
that he's actually getting his reward
when the reward doesn't stay only in the
spiritual realm when the reward gets
transmitted into the physical world when
the physical world is functioning the
way it should be when the rain is in the
proper time when the produce of the
field is coming out correctly when the
actual e ates have saw the eating period
when the trees in the field are going to
give us nice and view
of all fruit it's not just because the
farmer farmed land it's because of all
the blessings for all the wonderful
things that we've done so the the the
the blessings get translated literally
into the physical world like the Rebbe
gives an example he says like for
example because when someone is happy
right you can show you happy you look
happy but how do you know when you're
really happy when a person is starts
dancing when you start dancing means
that the happiness affected you want a
physical level that you're actually
moving and dancing because of the
tremendous joy so the answer the
question how do you know when you're
really happy when it affects you in a
real way and you actually start dancing
