Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Ki Tisa 5781

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is partially sisa the question of the week is what are the three principles of success so in this week's torah portion from pastors kisiso we learn about the jewish people receiving the first set of commandments we learned about the jewish people sinning with the golden calf and then we learned about the jewish people receiving the second set of tablets and now we learn that moisture they know only after the second tablets did he have to put on a mask because the glow is so high so ever asked a few questions first of all why so many stories in one torah portion the first commandments i'm sinning the second commandments the mask second of all why didn't moisturizer have to put on a mask with the first commandments only after the second one he had to put on the mass that was so strong where the first ones weren't so strong so he explained something very powerful and he says hashem is teaching us we call it in hebrew and yiddish the aleph base of life allah is the hebrew alphabet so the aleph of olympus of life is aleph based gimmel what does aleph resemble aleph stands for the first commandments hashem gives us a torah which basically resembles our life we get up in the morning life is great then you have base base is voracious the creation of the world we have to start dealing with the world but only after we deal with the world then do we have gimbal we have gula and then we have redemption so the rebbe explains what are the three tips for success in life you get up in the morning and life is great you submit to hashem but then you have to deal with the world and you have to overcome challenges after you overcome the challenges that's when you have real redemption and that's why moisture obey no when did he put on the mask only after the second commandments because after the struggle is when the light is the greatest this week's torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of baruch ben arya labe and yosef and rachel baslipa may their souls be elevated by the torah we're studying in their memory for more information please see our website swf.org have a great and blessed week thanks for joining us
