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 Pasha show them the
question of the week is what are our
true qualities so in this week's Torah
portion Pasha show them we learn about
when the Jewish people are to conquer
the land what is and not permissible so
the Torah tells us that if you come
across a fruit tree a tree that produces
fruit you're not allowed to cut it down
however if there's a tree that does not
produce fruit that is okay to cut down
obviously if need be so the Rebbe ask
the question why is it that a tree that
produces fruit we cannot cut down and a
tree that does not produce fruit we
could cut down so he explains that it
says in the Torah quijada mates a
Southern Man is like the tree in the
field in other words just like a human
being what is a human being his
intellect no because then he's a
computer the definition of a human being
is his emotions how kind he's to
somebody how nice he is to somebody his
love his or his feelings that's who the
person is when you call someone a mensch
you're not calling someone a mensch
because it was intellect you calling
someone a mensch because of his fine
qualities that he has so the rebbe says
when it comes to a tree that has fruit
that means a person has developed and
has beautiful qualities that's someone
that you have to respect and that's
someone that's great however somebody
that has not developed any emotions just
living intellectually that's something
that has to be dealt with and
transformed that he does produce fruit
so in other words the answer the
question what are our true qualities our
true qualities is not our intellect even
though it's important a true qualities
are our emotions a nice kind and loving
make this world a beautiful happy place
