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 parshas bow the question of the week
is why are Jews so successful so in this
week's Torah portion parshas Bowl we
learn about the Jewish people while
they're still in Egypt and the plagues
are going on God comes to the Jewish
people and gives them the first Mitzvah
the first Mitzvah that God gives the
Jewish people is Hari - Angelica Ross
Kardashian the establishment of the
calendar and setting up the whole cycle
where every month is were so - etc now
the Rebbe asks a simple question that we
see here that the first mitzvah the
Jewish people received was about
establishing the calendar hodges's
Alejandro's production a it's the first
Mitzvah so that obviously has to be
something very very important why this
Mitzvah is so so specific and God gave
it to us and me if you go back to the
beginning of the Torah literally the
beginning of the torah the torah begins
off God created heaven the word earth
Rashi asked the question well in truth
that he says even though it's the Torah
and it starts off with history but the
Torah could have it's been given to the
Jewish people so why doesn't the
tourists start with the first Mitzvah
that was given to the Jewish people of a
whole Gisella Kairos production and
washing is the answer but there a brings
out that the fact that Rashi asks the
question so you see that the first myths
that we received from God the first
Commandments the first connection to God
is extremely important what is so
powerful what is so unique about this
commandment so the Rebbe explains that
God wanted to give the Jewish people the
key to success in the first Mitzvah what
is that because what does that whole
dish mean oh this means the month but
how this also comes from from the
translation of Hindus something new you
know this God was teaching the Jewish
people every single day in every single
moment don't be satisfied with status
quo and don't be satisfied with each
successive yesterday you have to ask
you're Jewish what was your first
Mitzvah how are you how could this what
did you accomplish something new right
now so the answer the question why are
you so successful because there it's in
their blood and they've been green from
the first myth so it's always asks what
is something new that I accomplished and
if you're accomplishing constantly and
consistently new things you will be
extremely successful
