it's time for rabbi Minko its weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi Mingo 'it's welcome to
this week's Torah lesson this week's
Torah portion is partials matos a
messiah the question of the week is what
is the secret to keeping commitments so
in this week's Torah portion parshas
mapa samassa in the beginning of
practice matos the Torah tells us about
the laws of when someone makes a nether
a vowel in other words a person is wants
to commit to do something let's see to
study something or to pray or to help
and he's a little strength to do it she
says you know what I'm making a vow I'm
going to do it this way he's committed
he's in the game now and now he has to
act on what he did so he's taking on an
oath to strengthen him to do so but
before it begins God says when Moshe
Rabbeinu spoke to the Jewish chief about
the laws of hours so it says that God
the motion is spoke to rush a Hamato
sahel of a Mata now the Rebbe asked a
simple question we know the Jewish
people had gotten tribes and the tribes
are called shot in so the tourist said
he spoke to roche her shave at the head
of the shaver would mean tribe now Marta
also means tribe like a staff etc but
why the total you specifically the word
mater vs shaven and der be explained as
follows that matter what's mota mota is
usually a stick that fell off the tree
or got broken off the tree it dried out
now became the strong stick disconnected
from its source on the other hand a
shaver a shaven is usually referring to
a stick that's still connected because
it's connected and has the moisture so
it's more softer and small flexible more
bending so the Rebbe explains since here
we're dealing with a person that made a
vowel and means he wants to find
strength to continue and commit to doing
what he committed to do so therefore the
total uses the term matter which refers
to real power and real strength so in
other words to answer the question what
is the secret to keeping commitments to
pull out the strength that we have and
which resembles by the name of
mata and this way you will have the
power to fulfill our commitments that we
have whether it's praying tourists
studying or doing a mitzvah and by
pulling out strength to be able to
fulfill the commitment that we made this
