welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is practiced by a sloth the question the week is what is a tourist message to every bar mitzvah boy so this week's Torah lesson we have the famous story where Shimon a lady when they heard about their sister Dina being raped by Shem they came along and they wiped out the city and the Torah refers to Shimon lady as vehicle each car by each man referring to the east which referring to a male adult they took their sword they wiped at the city and the commentaries teach us that we learned from here that they were 13 years old and from here we know that but when you become Bar Mitzvah you become an East you become man so let me ask the question from all the things in the Torah for all the stories in the Torah how do we know them comes from permits a boy responsible adults when somebody went ahead and killed somebody you know even though they rightfully probably deserve to be put to death for the what they did but still to walk away with such a story about killing people forever mitzvah it's a little funny so you're are being explained to me sounds like this that we look later on when Jacob blessed his children so Jacob blessed Shimon Elena he told him like this keep up on her Jewish in other words Jacob used two words one is be upon their anger he refers them that they were angry what they did and the other hand he called him eat he wiped out each one person-one me they wiped out one person they worked at a whole city I mean one person but the but the content is explain what Yaakov was saying was because they had to see after the schmeyer because they had full trust in us and that they were doing the right thing and they were gonna be successful and they did do the right thing even though was a huge city to them was like one person so Yakka was telling them two messages one message is that the truth is maybe what they did was correct but they approached awaiting that it not consulting Yaakov that came from a place of anger and he was criticizing them for being angry and as we all know anger anger is not a healthy thing to do and to be in a place of anger but on the other hand he was acknowledging the fact that they had SIOC this Maya they had faith in God and that's why they were so successful in our whole city they're able to wipe out as and as if they were one person so to the answer the question what's the tourism permit message Hoberman Samui nothing one is never get angry because anger is not a good thing but number two is if you live your life with sea otter - Maya you realize that everything that happens in your life comes from a shell and you take a shot with you you will succeed in everything you do and will be really really easy to be successful as a grown adult and conquer your evil inclination thanks for joining us this week's Torah lesson is dedicated in the memory of Barack Bernard Ely and Ben Joseph may their souls be elevated by the Torah was studying in their memory for more information please see our website
