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 cansada the question of the week is what is more important us or the Torah so this week's Torah portion Pontius etapa it's interesting and unique that since molto Buono was born and his name is mentioned this is the only Torah portion until Matos Amasa that Moshe banners name is not mentioned and the question is wise most Raveena's not met names not mentioned because what happened was when the Jewish people sinned with the golden calf most Romanian was the leader of the Jewish people and Moshe Rena felt that he was the Jewish people's leader and his job is to to represent the Jewish people even against God and he said if you destroy the Jewish people take me as well now thank God God didn't destroyed the Jewish people others who wouldn't be here today and Moshe Rabbeinu obviously stayed alive but because most shabbiness said if not erase my name from the Torah so motion of a nose name was taken out and the Torah portion I was taken out was this week's Torah portion but what's interesting is that most remaining portion name was taken out so Moshe may know the sentence was obliterated from the Torah but there'll be says on the contrary you find Moshe Rubino's name revealed on a greater level in this week's Torah portion why is that because the Torah portion begins the actor a new to sava who's he who's God speaking to to command to the Jewish people Moshe Rabbeinu so does even if God's not calling us by his name but he's calling him to his essence so as even though he erased his name he only raised the revealed part of Moshe may know but the essence of motion of a know is revealed later by saying the actor that's one way we see that most remained his essence is revealed there's another way we see most Romanians essence is revealed because we know according to Kabbalah every for every letter has a melee has a filling so for example the name Moshe is made up of three letters men is the initial letter is men but if you fill it out mem he pronounced it is mmmm Shane the second letter of Moshe winner's name so the first letter is Shane but if you spell it out it's you'd none and the same thing with the last letter of motion banners name hey if you spell it out that's hey Alice so in other words if you look at the revealed part of motivators name its moshe if you put the look at the concealed part of motion banners name it's a member of the first man it's the unit in the noon of the Shannon and the Alice if you take the numerical value of the concealed part of motion Romania which is the man which is 40 the youth which is 10 then noon which is 15 and the olive which is 1 so you have 40 10 51 which is 101 that is the numerical value of the concealed part of motion beta which the conceal is always the more powerful part if you give a look in parts of the table if you count the verses in passion centavo there's 101 versus 101 verses resembling the hidden part of motion of a note so you see both from the v-app that which is referring to the essence of motion we know both from the amount of verses which is a numerical value of the hidden part of motion remain his name shows us that the essence of motion gets revealed in this torah portion in other words when moshe rabbeinu stock up for the jewish people and told god and gave him an ultimatum if you were if you litter 8 them erase my name god says this says we're moisture being really shined his essence sign because he put the jewish people first and as we know that when God created the world he gave us the Torah but in the turret speaks about the Jewish people there was a Jewish people actually in God's mind was even greater at first because the Torah speaks about the Jewish people so in other words so the answer the question what is more important us or the Torah obviously we are more important because the Torah was given to us by God for us to live a great life this week's Torah lesson is a memory of bora pandari liebe and Schlomo Ben Yosef may their souls be elevated to the Torah that we're studying in their memory thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson for more information on Habad please see our website you
