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 partially story the
question of the week is what is true
unity so in this week's Torah portion we
learn about the Jewish people coming to
Mount Sinai to receive the Torah and the
Torah tells us that the when they came
to hire see night says by ye kon chong
miss world- her that the whole jewish
people rested there by econ in a
singular form so rashly iris is wearing
a single phone there were so many people
surah she says yes even with so many
people but nevertheless they were Keisha
HUD they were look as if they were one
person but lay their hunt with one heart
what does that mean as one person one
heart that they were totally unified and
Rashi goes on to say however all the
other times when they can they were not
getting along in other words what was
accomplished over here when they came to
Mount Sinai was that yes they were
different and they're different ideas
and difference of opinions and the proof
is that in most places they argued they
quarreled but here they were able to
take all this unity all the disunity and
come in a unifying way so the rate
brings out a phenomenal idea that we
find that when was a Torah given the
term was given we know in the third
month because the first month is nice on
when they left Egypt second month is ER
and the third won't receiver why wasn't
given this in the third month and there
be explains the same idea because when a
person is alone so you think are the
person's unified but that's not unity
because when you're alone what's the
what's unit you're alone when you have
two people so then you have two
difference of opinion but whereas we
have three full three people that means
every single person is different idea
but when you able to many people get
together and create a by a hunch on you
sir all you have different ideas and
everyone is able to unify that is the
idea of true unity so unity is not when
you're there's one opinion the unity is
when there's many opinions and many
ideas
everyone's able to somehow come to a
peaceful beautiful resolution so the
answer the question what is real unity
unity is yes when everyone has different
ideas different thoughts when everyone's
able to put all their externalities
aside and come to one beautiful opinion
one beautiful idea and one beautiful way
to do things that is true atlas this
week's Torah lesson is dedicated to the
