[Applause] it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly Torah lesson here with his spiritual perspective and insight rabbi mankiewicz welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is practice Kesey saw the question of the week is what is the value of an uninspired Mitzvah so in this week's Torah portion pastas he saw we learn about the Jewish people receiving an atonement for the sin of the golden calf and God says they should bring a half a golden corn maque thus a shekel and the Torah says they eat know this is what they should give questions what a means a this one should give God was doing show-and-tell and the answer is yes because most Rubino was kind of a little disturbed where he knows that when you bring a sacrifice to the temple to receive atonement you would have to bring the Chunkin you have to be happily to bring it if you bring it not happily it's not it's then you're not gonna create atonement when they built a tabernacle so it says : did leave every person with an inspired heart born it here God says that yet no they just bring a half a dollar that's gonna be in Toland where's the inspiration where's the heart where's the feeling so Rashi says they eat new what does that mean God showed him a fiery coin that had a weight to it in other words with God was showing them as follows when it comes to the max as a shekel which is a mitzvah to bring a half a shekel their job was to bring the coin a physical coin made up from came from the ground and God says I will add the fire and I will create the spark of enthusiasm once they bring it so in other words God was showing Moshe Rabbeinu what's important is when it comes to creating atonement in this case all they have to do is bring the atonement even if they're inspired God will bring the fire to it to the answer the question what is the value of uninspired Mitzvah our jobs to do the mitzvot even if we're not inspired God will create the inspiration for us thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lesson is dead memory a bora pandari lave and and Yosef may the souls be elevated by the Torah that was studying in their memory for more information about Chabad please see our website [Applause] [Music]
