S.S.S.S. Shiur On Shavuous

let's go okay we're gonna go up our regular scheduled programming this week so right when it goes up online it's the SSS share on shivoice that's the way it's going to be it's not gonna be an excellent okay right and next week let's just remind everybody the next Thursday night we're not here and you know why we have to say that because I've actually gotten calls emergency throw but people that watch this every week and for them next Thursday is not yantus so they're gonna right away be looking for the share Thursday night so we're telling you in advance right now touch some ass and uh next year we should all be Zoysia to join you in Arizona and that's where the show will be next year enormous after Shabbos says when they even said NASA before nishma six hundred thousand descended from and came to eat and crowned each year with two crowns one for NASA and one for nishma that's the gamara says that each one each person got two crowns one for NASA one felishma so the proportion discussed at Great length how great this actually was that the Eden were willing to accept and uh accept Torah without even knowing what was in there was an amazing thing and today we all know about that but the evening we're ready to accept the whole terrorism discuss how great of a thing that was and Lamesa that certainly deserves a crown you're willing to do all the mentors of the Torah without knowing what's in there that deserves a crown the question is though what is the second crown for very good I understand what the crown for nishma is because you're going to listen you can listen and do all the mentals in the toilet I mean the sorry the crown for NASA we understand because you're going to do all the missions in the Torah but what's the crown for not for nishma it's sort of an implied thing that if you're doing it it means that you heard it and what if you heard it and you don't do it then you don't deserve anything so the whole thing is really telling whether you're willing to do it so what is the crown for nishma so beautiful beautiful word on this from left America where it will be going again Mitchell next year will be there and the devil says as follows they accepted it unconditionally and that was it however in order for the acceptance of the Torah to be meaningful the mice couldn't be a one-time deal it couldn't be a one-time deal to accept the Torah what did they have to accept they have to be willing to grow and to constantly work on what they accepted of the Torah Zeb left that's the nishma the nishma means that I don't just accept the Torah and what I have is what I get and this is the way it is the tire is alive the tire is something which we always have to try to take more of we always have to try to grow from that and that's the nishma we have to constantly have our antenna out there we have to constantly be listening how can I learn more Torah how can I grow how can I adapt what I know to to that we should be a better person and that we should learn more toyra says a very interesting thing the Romans decreed that even we're not allowed to learn Toyota the one's allowed to learn and we all know that Rabbi Akiva went against the decree said no we're going to learn Torah anyway so the Gomorrah says that purpose Ben Yehuda had a timer he had a he challenged River keep on this matter he had a China he says from Akiva you're endangering all the union you're coming out learning Torah the Romans decreed that you can't let terrible you're coming out and then you're putting us all in danger say rubikiva said that there's a there was a fox and the fox asked the fish in the water he said well tell me fish what scares you so the fish said you know what scares me what scares me is uh that a fisherman might come and sweep a net into the water and we never know when a fisherman's gonna come and sweep us out and that really scares me a lot so the fox said to the fish listen here fish I'll tell you why well I I have something to offer you why don't you come out of the water live next to me and the sand over here on the dry land on the beach and I'll take care of you I'll take care right so what if you think about what a a foolish Fox the fox thinks he's offering the fish a deal I'll bring him a good deal right but the fish is thinking to himself mothers were so we're so afraid of a fisherman when we're in our environment and uh and then we're still terrified we're still afraid what the fish am I gonna do what's gonna happen to us when you take us out of the water and you put us in an environment that's not ours we're going to be terrified we're going to be even more scared sir Akiva said that's what that's what happens when you stop learning Torah he said you think that that if we stop learning we're gonna be more safe you're gonna have more security if you if you're not learning Tyra no torah's the only thing that that can lie when you're learning Torah when you're doing whatever wants then you're in your environment but if you stop learning terror you're not going to have any more security so I was thinking once we're on the subject of fish and no we're not going to give any recipes but uh so she will stack and maybe some milkshakes is good but we're discussing once we're discussing the that that Gamora said I gave a marshall like the fish it's a it's an interesting theme to notice about fish fish have a very very peculiar habit if you ever go to the water if you ever go to a lake you'll see that uh when it's raining the fish all come to the top of the water to collect the drops that'll to collect the drops of rain so if you think about it what is what are these what is this what's their issue I mean oh yeah enough water you're living in it you can open your mouth you can have a little water you want all the time well what does a fish do every time a drop of water comes down they're always coming up to the top to say how can I get another drop of water how can I get a drop another drop water and this is something this is like what a year has to be when it comes to regarding the Torah you know sometimes I think to myself I would just uh I was thinking that sometimes we're very spoiled we live in a town like Lakewood and those of you around the world yes this is actually this beautiful restaurant here is in Lakewood New Jersey and we're very spoiled we're taka We're All Surrounded we're surrounded by so many turretation things we're surrounded by Toyota and sometimes we forget that we also you also have to work on growing that we also have to grow you can't just be you can't just rest on your laurels you can't just be happy that we live in an environment of Torah each person has a responsibility to grow like we said we said in last week's tire shop last week's parisha starts off you can't be stagnant you can't always be going whatever demands of us that we constantly be trying for more to uh to grow and to do more the toilet is alive you have to always be going you can't just say I'm living in the town of Lakewood I'm surrounded with so many issue that so many years and so many Russians so many people so I'll just be part of the crowd and I'll just sit here you have to always be you have to always be growing and vamis and see the Sheldon always has has a theme like this that by hidden there's no such thing as a huge standing still and he doesn't stand still yet is either moving either you're growing or you're going backwards and every opportunity that a person has in his life every little uh everything that you meet and every challenge that you meet every second you have a choice what am I going to do with this minute what am I going to do with this hour what am I going to do with this morning what am I gonna do you always have the opportunity either you're growing or you're going backwards and I once saw very interesting uh analogy for this um it's a life is sort of like walking up the down escalator and that's how you have to look at it now you have to constantly be going if you stand spilled for a second you're not standing still you're going down you're going back down because there are so many influences and so many things that are going on in the world that if you're not actively working on yourself to grow you're not standing in one place you're going backwards you're going down it's a very interesting story about the gay River that's how the the girl of the base is thrown the story they say is that uh ayid the ones came to the guerrabba and the guerrabba asked them so what do you do so he said um he says I'm learning again Ursa math but I'm not about two of them why not why not hey every person every second you should be about Cuba you should be thinking about what you did the whole day you should either be doing chuva you should be saying how thinking how you're going to grow and what you're going to do and this is the theme that we're trying to bring out before she was that's coming up this week that that look that we have to all realize that the third is alive it's not something which okay we live here we're doing it I am learning I'm learning my YouTube My hour day two hours a day eight hours a day author is something that a person has to internalize and always use to grow and just like uh you carry yourself to a fish oh yeah you compare yourself to a fish it's also grossful to prepare yourself to a fish just like the fish is surrounded by water and he's always looking for another another drop of water just like grab Akiva said that that that our environment is when we're constantly looking for more Torah so too we have to look forward we have to use this opportunity now to when we're heading to a cabal center so Taco Bima Cabo themselves that on ourselves that until she was and this year we're not just gonna learn Cairo we're not just going to be an environment in Toyota but we're going to use every day and every minute to grow into Iran we should not the desire that we should be able to desire to all these things and all these my dragons for sure and this next year Taco we should be in Yoshi and Eric Cicero and we should all spend the one day of schools together so Thursday night we could drive to the share and be able to say it over
