Shavuos: The Day That Shall Remain Dateless

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com Rabbi say the most important dates on the Jewish calendar s the most important event that ever happened in the history of the world and certainly to our people is giving of the Torah right it's the most momentous occasion in the history of mankind no event has been authenticated by more eyewitnesses than the giving of the Tyra the fact no event that ever happened the history of the world was seen by more people than to give another Terror it's the most important event that ever happened in this world especially to Carlisle and for some odd reason we don't know what day it was nowhere in the entire turret does it say what day the tower was given the other little tiny events every other event in history we know exactly when it happened and the giving of the Torah for some odd reason we don't know when it happened very strange why wouldn't the Torah tell us the date of the most important event that ever happened in the history of the world that's the question raised by the kliacar in practice Amber look at number four it says foreign so he wants to know in the next paragraphs why doesn't the Tyra say anywhere that shuis is a celebration of the giving of attire but the giving a letter is not important beginning is only the most important event that ever happened and we have a yamta the Young Thug is why wouldn't it say anywhere in the hummus that we celebrate the giving other Torah it's called every other name Under The Sun It's called it's called right the the mishna is called that Saras why does the Torah not call shivuus and this question is asked bye I'm going to varying colors like LeBron the mission eslama dalid every event that ever happened in our history that is important we commemorate with the mitzvah okay you left the Triumph and the Clouds Of Glory were suspended over us they protected us they led us so we commemorate that with sitting in the sukkah Hashem took a sandwich time the bat of an eye we commemorate that with by eating Masa an event that happens to Cloud Israel had the the miracle of the oil is supposed to last one day last eight days we commemorate by lining the menorah why do we not have any Mitzvah to commemorate the fact that God gave us the Torah I mean yeah people eat cheesecake it should be a Mysterio now I'm going to tell you now eating cheesecake is not a misfied by Raisa is that a Biblical Mitzvah why is there no mystery that we do to commemorate the giving of the Torah all year round okay how is howling the giving of the time that's what you should remember at a college World gave us to Torah it's an obligation to learn Torah all year round maybe that's the reason why we don't have specifically the Mitzvah on young because it might start to think that you have a bigger mythical to learn I'm sure the other day that's not the case okay same good but you could still ask that when when uh what we want to commemorate is the giving of the Torah remember that event now that event that was an awesome event think about it we saw the word of God we didn't just hear it the mountain was shaking the mountain was trembling claw Israel was frightened it was an awe-inspiring event the malachem were were frightened there was smoke it was the most fantastic show that ever so what do we do to commemorate that awe-inspiring event how do we capture that says of Aaron it says like this look at number one is the Torah has made no Act as remembrance for that faithful moment even the festival nowhere does Atari say explicitly that that's the time the Torah was given ESS there are a lot of things we do to commemorate that is foreign and these we continue to perform these missiles and we continue to remember through these misses till today why is there nothing that we do to commemorate the event of the giving of the Torah is seen by our entire nation is the foundation of all belief like the ramam rights and the ramban says it's the side of so in other words yes we do learn Tyra but why is there nothing we do to capture the awe-inspiring momentous occasion of the giving of the time to which river color says wouldn't that be denigrating the Torah itself if we if what we have to do was think about capturing a moment and you know but that's the foundation of all the torahs of additional Torah is the fact that we saw with our own eyes Hashem and amidst the sound of the chiffon amidsta the earthquakes and the Thunder and the lightning we got it so why would we commemorate then Elevate that Miser that physical happening yeah it may have been contrary to Nature we don't know Elevate that above the idea that above also we do we commemorate everything also we commemorate that and don't no we're not saying at the expense of anything else why would we not commemorate that awe-inspiring event haven't asked if we should go to school and we should be obligated and then people Blow shuffle and then maybe you get you know have the she'll shake and people pass out I mean why don't you think of something but maybe it's because for the similar reason to why the terror was given in harsinai and not in his in sort of like in the midfire not after me so where it's uh it was the distinguish or to take away the the to point out the fact that the creation of the nation of Israel was was based on a relationship okay you could say yes definitely like assumption follow her says but why would we not remember with an action the momentous occasion of the giving attire says or Baron Cutler what we have to say from this is that the awesome experience and the inspiring experience and the great Revelation that Claire Israel saw where God himself came down from heaven and confined himself to harsinai that entire experience of where our hearts left us and where we were so just taken away and shaken up that experience exists in every piece of Torah that a person learns in other words Cesar of Aaron look what he writes the nirahatambaza is The Exodus of Egypt were Miracles that happened then so God took us out of matraim 3300 years ago and now we need to remember it to the point where it's like we could see with our own eyes [Applause] we don't have to remember the giving of the Torah because you need to remember something that happened but something that happens continuously you don't need to remember you just experience again if you open up a gemara there is a way that you could tap into that awe-inspiring experience that thunder and lightning that Revel that Revelation the divine revelation on Mount Sinai reoccurs every time you learn Tara foreign it was a great voice that didn't yasuff simply put what does yasuf mean it didn't happen again yo saved but Uncle says it never stopped the divine revelation that existed on harsinai continues which means it is as if God is coming down now on harsinai shaking up the world and saying his command to you it's amazing the great voice of the Torah is contained in every piece of Torah the early Giants early the Early Taurus Scholars they were able to recognize all of Creation in Torah because they were able to tap into this like the Velma going he was able to see the greatness and he was able to show how the whole tarash about pear is included and all the secrets of the world are included in every possuk so this is the concept the concept is that Miami harcina is not a one-time event but it's something that reoccurs it really so what are you gonna do I'm gonna have a a ceremony it's like imagine um you know you want to recall the way people used to you want to have a museum museum for what a Toro Museum of how they used to learn Torah a hundred years ago so some people would say a museum what like it's an ancient artifact well you don't need a museum yeah there you see this today people are still learning Taurus is it on the same it's it's not an artifact that's relegated to museum it's it's present it's not history it's a present occurrence the present it's a living occurrence I'm in our Sinai yes you'd see us we need to eat matzo to remember we need to send the silk team member but the momentous occasion of her Sinai it is as if every time you learn Torah God is giving the Torah that moment and we'll explain this concept a little bit more an amazing idea you know there is a story about the pileges forgiva right the concubine and Giver where the husband you know he got upset about with this lady and there's a macho I guess what exactly should she did wrong either there's a fly in his drink or she didn't remove the hair of a certain area of her body and uh it was a problem says like this not only this at the very moment when a person learns Torah down here in this world this person thinks it's an innocuous event you're saying [Music] okay an immaculous events every word that you omit with your mouth at that very moment at that very moment God is saying the very same words along with you wow you think I'm down here I'm learning Torah so you know maybe God's looking up from heaven and maybe he's writing down what I'm doing no at the moment that I'm learning Torah God is saying those very words along with me and how do we know this we fine says the first Power can get them by the Plagueis it says the guy found a fly in his drink baby he found a hair and revelos are found Reliance and Elizabeth says what's God doing at this at this moment he says he's learning the sugya pileges forgiva the fly uh what do we see from here because at that very moment that is what Hashem is saying along with them how do we understand that we have sand like this that God and His command and his word are one and the same Hashem and his Deboer is the same thing so at the moment that we're saying the word of Hashem that is what Hashem is saying because the word of Hashem is Hashem and that is why wml says time Lee tairas tively tively Tyrus the Torah of your mouth is precious to me why your mouth because when I say words of Torah God Almighty himself is saying those very same words number two therefore the entire Torah whether it's the first plastic the last plastic or the timistan there is no difference between any nothing is more colors than something else because every word of Torah is the word of Hashem will be missing one pasok it would be puzzle like if it would be missing one of the asses or if you'll be missing something in creation because the entire turn is the word of Hashem and you have to understand when you read Apostle God himself is saying it along with you and then after crime says further inshallah listen to this there's a concept time a person is learning Torah it is as joyous as the moment that Hashem gave it at harsinai number three any moment that a person is involved in Torah and is clinging to talk properly had Devore him the matter is as joyous as the moments it was given on her Cena and the words of the Torah Are Holy Supreme they're sweet one who engages it's as if he's standing every day Altura the Sinai what's tour of the Sinai this is what deposit means today you became a people once today every time you learn something it's as if at that very moment God is giving you the Torah look in the next paragraph says one who listens heeds the words of the Torah zakahu bahayama he is fortunate in that world it's as if he received the tar from Cena from anybody someone who inclines his ear he gives Hashem conclusion every time the last paragraph why should it be here I'm sitting I'm saying I have a sheet in front of me I'm sitting in a room the kids playing outside we're all here you know yeah it's a good sheer right it's a good cheer is it as exciting as harshina I mean how could you compare what is one thing have to do with the other it says just like at that Holy event we clung to the word of God we became attached to the word of us so to now because at the moment that a person is engaged in contemplating Torah Israel he clings to the word of God because every piece of Torah is God's word to motion Hasina even what a student is going to answer this even now at the moment the person learned with every word wow think about it when you say a word of gemara you know what's happening at the moment you're saying Shrine it's like God is emanating a fiery word schnayam at the very moment you're saying it so in effect you are experiencing the exact same event now you have to be aware of it uh to feel it even a little bit but you have to understand the next stop the same way when God says and all of a sudden this fiery word I don't know if he was a parent in front of all of claw Israel every time you learn any Torah God himself is saying that word fire is emanating from him your soul is quaking it is on par one thousand percent with harcina and it still doesn't mean a specific day as a starting point [Music] you are reenacting the sign experience to the teeth oh you have a gift to remember it yes you have a gift to remember and we say it every day but the Torah still tells us today so what we're going to see is the answer is Ryan is relegated is confined to a date it only happens it only happened one time it happened one time and now we have to remember it you can't say that the experience no that experience is not learned from that experience and we feel it every day but it only happened well just like we feel yeah if God would actually take us out of time every day then we wouldn't have to know what date God took us out and let's try him no he says he says that's why we find many occasions if a person learns Torah properly the experience of our Sinai is recaptured it's very interesting you know there's a person God says suvi suvi shubi um aromi um I'm talking to clients and they say return with us that's the perfect one the rose we are the same become like us because live the good life you know enjoy yourself in this world what is the word what does it means we'll give you honor if you become like us we'll make you the governors the Mayors the presidents we have a lot to offer you so what does claw you smell respond what could you offer us you can't match the experience that we got on harcina what could you offer us you can't match it but we haven't been there again so now let's become my gun I mean go ahead and say to us we have a lot to offer you so we say no could you match the signing experience I mean what is ancient history got to do with what the offer on the table is now imagine you know the boss says somebody comes to you says oh you're working in that place I'll give you 10 million dollars what my boss gave me last year which was 100 million dollars so I see you that's wonderful you give give you 100 million dollars last year but this year is only paying you a hundred thousand dollars I'm gonna give you a million dollars now so what do we you know reinvoking ancient history no the answer is not ancient history ancient history you know nobody yeah but the game are making us a valid offer I'm giving you something good now so you're telling me about my men harcina 3 300 years ago when you look in our history and where we are why would you ever want to switch the answer is because what we're saying is we're not invoking my ancient history the experience of harsinai is available every moment that awe-inspiring experience that experience that captures your heart that experience that leaves an indelible impression on your soul is available every moment that you learn Torah that's why the clyaka writes why does the Torah not tell us the date of of math and Tyra the answer is on the third line in the second paragraph in number four commercial casabti burial oil it's similar to what I wrote in my composition always God did not want lahagabil to confine yardua a specific date because the person is required that it should be comparable to him you know the time I'm learning it what does it mean that every time it should be like I just got a harcina says the clioc or an amazing thing Torah is compared to a child who suckles from his mother does the child say okay I already had an ounce I'm done no every continuous Act of suckling from the mother produces a new taste a new delectable experience so too every time you learn Torah you have a new insight a new appreciation a new feeling a new hagasha it's as if you never received it in your entire life when you sit down to learn you have to understand you are re-experiencing the signing experience God so to speak at the very moment you're learning fire is emanating from the mouths of Hashem coming down to you where you're connecting with linking read the uh okay let's change the batteries where you're you're uh connecting with the word of Hashem the same way when Hashem gave us inai and we saw those words when you say schneid marks and metallis God is emanating it's not blinking anymore God is emanating fire that they say hang on one second beautiful one last thing I would say we have a statement like this because I'll tell us the Tyra is more precious than pearls you know someone once came to these he said maybe I should go to the hotel I haven't been in the cold town a very long time since the Koto is a very holy place you should go but what if you had the opportunity to go to the kardashak darshan which one would you go to so the Thomas said of course is much greater than just the outer Courtyard so the Torah is more precious than pearls the tar is more precious than the kangado who goes the snivolous which means when you're sitting and you're learning Torah you're actually in a more Sanctified area than even the Kardashian so to leave this gemara to God pray at a certain location you're losing out you're losing out so think about it think about it imagine if every time you open your gemara you are entering the Kardashian you know how awe-inspired someone would be if they would enter the section they would be they would be shaking not because not only because they're afraid they may not make it out just because they realize this is the holiest place on Earth this is the holiest place in the universe God's divine presence is concentrated here more than anywhere else this is a place where all the clango that could only go on Yom Kippur in his white garments after he went to the mixer so many times foreign if you think that God's presence is found in this holy of holies you should know when you open up a gemara you've created a bubble it's like you're in a bubble in the bubble of your Torah God's sanctity is contained more than anywhere else on Earth so people say oh let me go here let me go to this holy grave and hold that Holy place and pray here and pray there yeah they're all holy and they're all there's a time and place for everything but don't lose sight of the holiest opportunity we have and the holiest opportunity that we have Isa is more Sanctified than anything else in this world and and think about it look what he writes look what the nepheim writes in his commentary on purpose in this week's Mission above Torah has to be learned the aim over here sometimes you know we lose sight of that approach you know we want Tara to be enjoyable pleasurable sweet but it also has to be learned with great awe and fear why says How could a person not be gripped with trembling and fear when he thinks how often could he go into the Quran once a year foreign God's over there he can't just go in whatever he wants once a year in Canada if you have the privilege to be sitting down learning that the Sheena Is there whoa that's scary it's frightening after all you're in a place more Sanctified than the when you say words of Torah God is saying those words along with you imagine you know imagine if every word you said somebody yes who would come out of his mouth you'd be shaking every word of Terror you say it's like it's being given at that moment and harcina fire emanating from God it's as if the soul can contain itself that is why the Torah does not tell us the date of harsinai because it's not an event that we just commemorate with action it's something that has to be relived every time you learn every time you learn you should think it's as if I'm receiving the Torah Hai it's as if God is giving us that very moment and that is why the Torah doesn't give us the date that is why the Torah does not give us a specific Mitzvah to commemorate the event because every learning of Torah needs to be with that type of attitude around right side again you've just experienced another Torah class
