Shavuos: Setting Fixed Times For Torah - The Daily Reenactment of Har Sinai

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good morning good afternoon everyone salam alaikum this is our last year before the umptive of shavuis hatora if anybody would like to mushtate before yamtif and any of the upcoming's Forum please let us know we have uh we have a few on the Queue we're working on Robbie Mayer alucado maranini in English for art school for Hanukkah working on lagbo imer in English also a safer on him if anybody wants to participate in publication please uh let us know it will be a great success we have fantastic information today really an amazing subject this is brand new material I want to draw your attention to the comments of the tour so you're going to be the first to hear this topic and I would like to speak about it over shavuis and you you get to hear this information first and if you like it then maybe we'll we'll share it over the Hamptons there is an amazing teaching of the Torah well-known teaching of the tour in archimes he brings in the name of his brother Ravi Huda why is it Adam are enacted he explains how each one of the yamam are connected one of the others pesach is is and it was pesach says because the shifar of matantara was from the chaifa of the Isle of yet like it says and there's a question over here and it's a very troubling question if the tour would have brought from his brother that pesach excuse me that shavus is connected yakovino I would have understood that yakubavino is the AV that reflects and represents Tyra he's the ishtam yoshihalem yaakov was in the basement if the Torah would have said that shavuas is I would have understood that if he would have said that it's that from the time of abramovino he ushered in 2 000 years of Torah arabino Zak in Yoshi Yeshiva but PESA but that should be connected avoida what's that gotta do with shavuas a are we missing something why would the Torah say that the yamtif of this says after 120 they bring a person into judgment they say to him did you deal in business honestly did you establish times to learn Tyra this expression to set time we know one is supposed to learn day and night which means whenever they can if you have a few minutes before mencha don't sit in the show twiddling your thumbs waiting for them for the davening to start open up a safer learn a few lines of gemara learn a mishnah learn a pasak learn a Rashi say a chapter of tehilim but you have to learn whenever you have the availability you're you're walking down the street don't let your mind wander yeah obviously there's things a person has to do in life presidents go to work person has to take care of their family we understand but whenever you're not then there's no Mitzvah to read every single Jewish magazine it doesn't say in the Torah that before Shabbos and yamdev you have to make a pile of different Jewish periodicals and read all of them but it does say that in all your spare time you shall learn Tyra so what's this idea to establish times we have established times when I have time to learn I'm Gonna Learn why I don't have time I won't learn what does this mean establish time that means even when I'm very busy I have to make a set time that come what may I have to stop doing whatever I'm doing and learn where does this come from where does it say the Torah that I have to be later what's the source of Sacha then codifies in Simon hey comes on the tour that after you dive in you should go to the basement is you have to set time to learn that time needs to be established you should not give it up even if you think you're going to make a lot of money and the mission Brew explains try to make it a little bit bigger than Michelle Brew explains the increments of tamatare is no sure you have to learn the whole day whenever you have time like it says and when a person has time and he's Movado it's uh it's a severe indictment against the person and gazal even say that if you make your times eat him meaning let's say a person says well I learned my Daffy Army already I already did the daf uh today's Duff happens to be the last um and it happens to be only two lines Hashem I only have to learn for 30 seconds today but now now I'm done because I'll say son who makes his learning item even though he has more time he is May fibrous he's like annulling the Covenant with God and he's breaking the Tyra so what does it mean to be quite is a person has to establish set time every day that he will not give up that time no matter what and if for whatever reason highness happens and he couldn't fulfill his learning he should make it up like it's a debt and not like a regular debt that you have 30 days to pay you have to pay it up that night like I've borrowed in the day and he paid back at night and the acronym right that before you leave shul in the morning even if let's say a person's very busy and he won't be able to learn for a significant amount of time at least to learn Juan pasok or one halacha before he leaves so aside from the idea that one is supposed to learn in all of one's free time that's not enough to learn when you can it's not enough to learn when you can you have to have a set time every day come what may the mayor of the city could be knocking on my door the president of the United States needs my advice how to stop the thousands of Mexicans that are pouring in in the southern border and they're inviting the Taliban with them it doesn't matter who needs your help there has to be a set time every day that you learn something in fact the kavachheim writes that this set time it shouldn't be on Sunday it should be the same time every day don't make it Monday at 10 A.M to Tuesdays I have dentists uh have to go so Tuesday is going to be 12 30 and Wednesday it's going to be four o'clock in the afternoon it should be like clockwork the kavakan brings down from the ramami panel is but after you do that then of course whatever free time you have you should what the kavachheim is adding from the ramami panels that should be a set time every day by the way the uh the same ramami Pano that should be the set time every day it's a very interesting halacha regarding the uh brings that someone who is appointed to Dan to adjudicate he's allowed to preside over a court case at the time that he's kavua lomoid and accounts for learning because din is Tyra but says the birthday always safe that's only if you don't get paid for it but if you get paid to adjudicate it doesn't count for coffee if you're a malami tinikos if you're a rabbi for a teacher and you get paid you don't that doesn't count for this is what his brings down and according to this of Sons of learning in the coil and he gets a stipend as little as it was when I was learning in Kailua I'm not going to give away too many details but they gave us a whopping eighty dollars a week you know that's enough money today to uh to buy gas to get you to the coil right but if you get paid it doesn't count as Korea suits you get a Mitzvah you get reward you're at Sadiq but you are not Cove so what exactly is this concept where does it come from who where is it sourced Hashem says in the Torah many times you need to learn but what is this idea of establishing set times fixed times and why would it not why would it be that you shouldn't get paid for it let's now discuss the most basic and well-known question regarding says they stood at the bottom of the mountain s we learned that Hashem suspended the mountain over their head like a barrel said to them if you accept the Torah grade and if not here you will be buried so the gemara is telling us that the proposal of Kabal Satora was not Hashem said to the Jewish people do you want to marry me no no no no no no this was what we call Hashem took a mountain he suspended it over our heads he said do you want to marry me and we said yeah yeah yeah for sure of course because Hashem said if you don't accept the Torah I'm gonna kill you which is one way to get your kala to agree to marry you you know threats always work especially if it's a good threat so Hashem coerced us to accept the Torah so tysus famously asks what do you mean they were already mocked him they already accepted it willingly why did Hashem have to force us gives an astounding answer toaster says yeah we accepted it willingly but Hashem was afraid we might back out which by the way there is some indication that we tried to back out if you look in pastures the pot success first of all listen and then we'll do what but they already said nah seven Ishmael will do and then we'll listen yeah that's what they said in the beginning but it could be they wanted to back at it out of it tysus brings that Hashem was afraid that when we see the big fire from that caused our soul to the part maybe we'll renege the alpha Chicago maybe we would retract when we see the great fire -san let their soul would depart so this is the famous cache of tices this is the question in the matters Town Huma that why did Hashem have to coerce us to accept the Torah but we already said NASA nishma the answer is Hashem was afraid we would renege but maharral of Prague in many many places at least four places and my friend ravilan haberstad sent me a recording of hagon with moisture Shapiro where he said he's aware of at least six places in the morale I only know about four of them and where the morale advances the following principle and the principle goes like this if something's important if something is critical then it cannot be left up to your discretion hey you go to somebody goes to the doctor the doctor say hey do you want to breathe yes I would really like to breathe hey pal we don't care if you want to breathe or not you have to breathe so we're not going to ask if you want to because whether you do or not you have to breathe there's certain things that cannot be left up to your discretion certain things whether you want they're not you have to do it even if you want to we don't care that you want to and if we would leave it up to your discretion you may Come Away with the mistake mistaken Omar notion that you know I'm doing it because I want to and if I don't want to I don't have to Pal no it's not that you're doing it because you want to and if you don't want to you don't have to you have to even if you don't want to we can leave this up to discretion even though we know what you're gonna choose because then you're gonna think you're doing it because you want to we can't allow you to think that you're doing something because you want to do it when something is so important when something is vital it has to be and when something has to be it endures analogous the morale says to when a man rapes a woman at that point the Torah doesn't say if you want to marry her you can marry if you don't want to marry her you don't have to no you have to marry her you forced her you're stuck with her so too Hashem wanted to be stuck with us so if he would have married us and he would have asked would you like to marry me then if Hashem later on decided he doesn't want to remain married to us then he wouldn't but Hashem so to speak was he coerced us this way he can never send us away the mara writes in his this is the reason why Hashem was so that we would be coerced and if we're coerced we could apply the past he can never send us away and therefore the Jewish people can never depart from God the morale says that there's a madrish and I'm going to show you something very interesting we don't have such a Madras but the mara quotes a matter if a man rapes a woman when Hashem came to give the title Israel he suspended the barrel over our head head so that we would be the anusasa it says someone who seduces a woman he could send her away but if someone coerces her then he forces her into the attachment then the attachment is per force cannot be removed because it's a necessary attachment this is the explanation for cabal Hashem forced us so that we would be coerced and if we're coerced then Hashem can't separate from us to show that the Torah is absolute it's necessary likewise in the Pharisee samaral says Hashem forced us to accept the testoster shouldn't say oh I keep the Torah because I want to accept the Torah because the Torah is warm and fuzzy and it's you know what the you know what the uh the the buzzword is today if you want to bother to giving Ashira or or writing something it has to be inspiring it has to be inspiring and even better if it makes you feel warm to teach Torah that's not inspiring or it doesn't make you feel warm no we can only do things that the recipient is inspired by no that's not toira toyra is reality it has to be Hashem doesn't want cloudy soil to say we accept the Torah because we want it it's delicious it's that's not a my love for the Torah the whole world is depend on Tyra if we wouldn't accept the time the world would cease to exist had someone have to revert the world back to tell you about you what's Hashem going to do would you like to accept the Torah that's like saying would you like existence to exist or would you like to for it to blow up in the next three seconds would you like there to be a nuclear explosion and the world Hashem can't leave it up to us as if oh you know why the world exists because we wanted to no no pal you're not that important that the world only exists because you decided it should exist I'm giving you the third I don't care if you want it or not that's great that you want and I'll reward you that you want and you get crowns for it and you'll sing songs about how you want it but I don't care that you want it because we can't live leave it up to your discretion therefore it's not Roy it's not appropriate that the target be left up to the choice of the Jewish people Hashem had to force us so that the world would not go back to value so if you say okay but it was for nothing because we're ready it's not because Hashem didn't want us to retract he wasn't afraid we were gonna attract it was inherent how could the Torah which is allows reality to exist be subject to someone's discretion that means the the existence of the world is dependent on someone's discretion such a matter Force us to show that the reality of the world is a reality furthermore the morale says Hashem didn't want cloudy so to say that we accept the tar based on our discretion and maybe tomorrow we'll decide that we're not interested anymore because after all you asked us if you want it tomorrow we don't want it today we want hamburgers tomorrow we want milk today we want the Tyra tomorrow we don't want the Tyra so some forced us meaning it's yours whether you like it or not and anything which is coerced is eternal Isha foreign were his forever and the marao reiters reiterates this by explaining that in the times of the zikane Huda came and they said uh who buys an event he said yeah what if he sells it to Israel they said he can't eat too many more so they said well we left hashems so now we don't have to keep the Torah said nice try nice try you've never left God's wishes what's the explanation no kaiso wanted to leave God's wishes they wanted to call it a day God said too bad I already was my honest you can't can't get rid of you anymore and my route reiterates this in the gorari and pashas yusrae then anything which is coerced is eternal and again he repeats this in the natsah Israel by the way this set the morale says that he found the medrish that Hashem coerced Us in the Kabul the Torah so he can't send us away also quotes however the Torah shalima of Ramana Kasher he brings that he's unaware of where khazal say this it's Dominic who's the tamman of the rajwa also quotes but this is a haza which is no longer extant but Neman oleno the morale that no there is a statement in the teaching of the Sages that a college book who forced us to remember the Torah in order so that a he can't send us away and B ashem was conveying that something so vital and important like the Torah cannot be left up to your discretion as if oh that's really nice of you that you want the world to exist thank you so much for being the caval the Torah and if you didn't want to be Macabre the Tyra I would just have to blow the whole thing up we cannot leave this up to you I'm happy you won it it's nice you want it here is a pat on the back but I don't care whether you want it or not the Torah is a reality of existence and it cannot be left up to your discretion it's interesting how College Miracle tells moisture albino the proof that I sent you vayoma is a serve God on this mountain serve God that's what my harshina is avoida is avoida foreign what's the Tav done so I heard from myself I heard the recording myself what do we have to do exactly what is our job we have to understand that as much as we emphasize that Torah is enjoyable and Tyra is sweet and Tyra gives us happiness but fundamentally Tyra is reality of the universe the world couldn't exist without the Torah and Torah cannot be left up to our discretion oh today I have nothing to do so I'm gonna learn for 16 hours because I have Time Pal I don't care if you have time or not that's very nice that you're learning because you happen to have time that's not good enough you can't make Torah about your choice Tyra you have to subject yourself to the Torah when you don't have time you have to learn anyway you have to be conveya e Tim La Torah because you have to be true to the way that the Torah was given the Torah was given in a way that even though you wanted it it wasn't enough that you wanted it Hashem was gonna force it the acceptance of tyler1's relationship to Tara has to be that whether you want to or not you are to this man not that the man is you could have someone who has retired and he has all the time in the world and he learns 20 hours a day that ain't good enough what we need to do is someone who doesn't have time he literally doesn't even have 10 minutes he's so busy but he says I don't learn because I want to and because I can I have to and he carves out an hour to learn carving out an hour to learn is more hush of than learning in 12 hours when you have the time because the message is I'm not learning because I'm choosing to learn I am mischievement to this man because I am reenacting my Med harsinai in order to reenact mimet arsinai it has to be that even though I want to I have to this hour I have to I know I have a hoopa an avert and Allah and my third cousin's graduation and if I don't go to the sitter play and the gradu and the and the hummish play and uh I don't know what and I don't drive the carpet it doesn't matter this is this man that I set aside to learn I am a stupid to this man lay him when in our Lima Torah do we ever reenact and pay homage and remember and commemorate gigas that's through Bingo Tyra this is the idea of Ramos Shapiro the way the morale understands the the question of tysus why did Hashem have to force us the answer is because he had a show Tyra is more vital than something that could be left up to your discretion this is something that my route writes in six places at least and remote Shapiro said so what does tysus hold would come up with so why is Texas asking that claudiusol said NASA venishma so why did Hashem have to force them why didn't Isis know that Torah is so important that it could be left up to their discretion that it cannot be left up to their discretion why couldn't Isis and select the morale why didn't they like the morale's answer says knew that Torah is so important it cannot be left up to any individual's personal discretion but you have to look carefully at the words of theisfus is kasha is that cloudy so already were misshabe themselves to the Torah they already made it that it's not up to their discretion they were maktina they said God we don't have to hear what's in the Torah as if the only reason we're accepting the Torah is because it's rational and it's logical and something we want we said we don't even have to hear what it says we're gonna do it so that means kalisol already made themselves so why did Hashem have to force them they already forced themselves they already were mashabi themselves cannot be left up to someone's discretion but Texas was still asking Carl you swallow made it that it's not up to their discretion they were mocked him NASA in ishma twitch moral says back yeah but claudiusra were mashabe themselves to the Torah Hashem says I cannot leave the Torah up to your discretion that you chose to subjugate yourself to the Torah the Torah will subjugate its you to it whether you do it or not that's still not good enough the morale holds it's still not good enough to say NASA and ishma we can't have it that you're the one who subjugated yourself to the Torah the Torah subjugates you whether you like it or not this is the source you know aside from the regular midst of learning as we mentioned there's a sin of cavata to the point where the good morning everyone says he borrowed and he paid if he had to change his time he would borrow and he would pay the rambam says every Jewish poor wealthy is man we don't find such a thing by other mitzvahs so in the seafar and he says an idea very similar to what we just said from ramesha Shapiro and that is the Mitzvah of tamatera's two parts to it one is the midst of learning which is a missile like every other mits in the Torah and another Mitzvah is commemorating like the plastic says um seemingly is learning Tyra foreign out that the learning of Torah is supposed to be the way it was given kinesi NASA IV to learn Torah to commemorate my marasinai in the same fashion the toe was given to us um was the Torah given to kaisan that day it was the end of the 40 years but rather Torah should be beloved to those who learn it like the day was given on harsinai that means aside from the midst of learning it's supposed to be reenacted as if it was given on that day with the same awe reverence fear trembling happiness as someone who teaches his grandson Tyra it's like they were McCullen and harsinai so you could say that the Indian of is in order to fulfill learning Tyra the same way he was given on her Sinai namely the Torah was not given in a way that it was up to our discretion it was we were coerced to accept the Tyra like the morale says in order to demonstrate that the Torah is so vital and so important it cannot be left up to our discretion and therefore it's not enough to learn when you're able to learn it's not enough to learn when you can you know after tax season I'll have more time I'll learn more yeah you will learn more but even during tax season you have to be kobea eat him set times so that it's not you who are deciding when to learn it's the Torah that's dictating that it is an obligation and the safer has a very interesting idea of the concept of us hey I have a great idea I'll give you money and you put on two pairs of filling or or one pair of film put a yeah you know I'm busy I'll get I'll go I'll uh buy a nursing home and I'll give you money I'll give you money and put on fill in or you know I'll start a business and you sit in the Suka for me or keep Shabbos you know where do we ever have a thing I'll make money and you learn and I'll give you money and and I'll get scar on your learning where does that come from so the safer suggests that of course every Jew has to learn there's no way there's no exemption of learning even zavulan we had in last week's Parsha we're one of the shwatimov who the Indians this element of Cabela's hataro where I demonstrate that it is not the tire is not left up to my discretion but the Torah is what subjugates me so if I don't have the time because I'm occupied making a living so instead of me establishing times I commit myself financially to support you so what I'm doing is I'm subjugating my resources to the Torah that is another way is not dimension of of coercion in the Torah I am subject to the Torah I am subjugating my resources my money to the Torah and not vice versa that's the idea that's the commemoration of kafalem also says a similar idea that [Music] is that the first 2000 years of world existence were you may tell you about you in the second 2000 years were years of Torah zigmar says when do the years of Torah begin not from Kabal Satora but from the time of avram avinu says uh hmm yes before avram Aveeno maybe they're they learned Tyra learned Tyra but avraham was mashabi them to the Torah he was quavera them to the Torah in order to commemorate this idea is in order to commemorate the the fashion and the the manner with which the Torah was given but that's your wife would say he would tell his avrilo that sometimes an average and he has he's busy he has to take care of things and he may leave and miss a day or two but a regular a working person who earns a living from nine to five that gets up early in the morning and he has a sad time to learn and he learns every morning every night sometimes he's on a higher madriga than someone who spends most of the day learning because a guy who spends most of their learning he learns when he can when he can't he doesn't learn but someone who learns like clockwork so then in a certain sense he is he is demonstrating greater greater connection and greater subjugation to the Torah then someone who just learns when they're able to learn I just want to say foreign that he brings that's why we focus on Zaman Mata and tairaseno because pal we're very happy you wanted it we don't care whether you wanted it or not whether you want it or not you're getting it because the Torah is that important that we can't leave it up to you your discretion so the emphasis is not on the Kabbalah it's on the giver and The Giver we know how he gave it he was and he brings an idea you know Kaliso was supposed to be in mitzrayim for 430 years how do we get out early so the recite him say it was the kaishi hashiba it was we worked every single day the shebad so he brings an idea if she would could accomplish 400 years in 210 years then it has to work for good as well so if a person has a set time to learn and he's mischabed himself to the learning then his one hour that he's mashabate himself to is worth maybe many many many many hours and he brings that even though you know this Farm recommend one should learn eight hours a day but if you have an hour a day that come what may you stick to that hour that could be reckoned in shamayam like many many hours yes somebody who has a set hour that they don't give up no matter what that's very very valuable in the eyes of a color sparkle but that's the only way we could connect to the tarp properly and even though we live in a generation where we're always focusing how inspiring and enjoyable and sweet that Tyra is and it's all of that this is not minimizing in any way how enjoyable the Torah is how much personal satisfaction it gives a person how it gives a person happiness gives a person meaning it gives sweetness it's inspiring but fundamentally it can't be left up to that because the Torah is what keeps the world going it's a Terrace if there'd be a moment in time that the Torah wasn't learned the world would cease to exist so what's Hashem going to say would you like the Torah oh Hashem I'll get back to you let's just think about it for a few days whether we want the world to exist or we want you to blow it up into Smithereens we'll let you know no no no no no no no this cannot be left up to your discretion this is happening I created a world and the World's Gonna exist because I coerced you except the Torah now that you did that I happen to be very happy that you said NASA nishma and I'm going to give you crowns and you're going to be honored and everything's wonderful but it doesn't really matter that you wanted it I want to share with you another dimension uh somebody once uh shared this with me from ravasha Wise and it comes from the paleoids there's a good morning it says like this if you find a piece of meat on the street and it could have come it came from one of the stores you have nine kosher stores one tree you've just experienced another Torah class
