hello once again first of all I'd like
to say it's been my covet my honor my
pleasure this past week to spend this
time with you and enjoying shn mikra I
enjoy shn mro very much I hope you
enjoyed and got something out of the
words that we said this past week I know
I enjoyed very much learning it with all
of you at this time and now if you allow
me to IND indulge perhaps I can convey
to you just a thought it was a every
para and every piece of tah and every
word is special but para's bow is so
fundamental in in in every part of our
life because we know that the aser
start I amem your God this is the basis
of amuna according to all the rim and
why why should we have that
not because it doesn't
say that created the world but
rather took us out of MIT so taking us
out of MIT which was this past week's
para that we were privileged to learn
together is the core and the basis of
our munem and I'd like to give it a
little bit of a of a thought and if you
will allow me I'll digress for one
moment and come back to that because I
think it's all pertinent in this week's
paraa one of the things that we spoke
about in this week's paraa was the
Mitzvah the first Mitzvah they call it
the first Mitzvah called KES sanctifying
the new moon and what's interesting the
medish tells us which is kind of obvious
we all know that at this point that
there's really two different countings
we have rashishana not in Nissan we have
rashishana in Tish it yet in this week's
para when we spoke about Nissan we
spoke this is the first month Nissan is
the first month but there's no
rashishana Tish is the first is
rashishana so maybe that's the first
month so which one is it so the meas
explains well Tish was when creation was
so it's the first month in that regard
and Nissan the me just tells us that's
when we became am let us just examine
that for a minute because I think it's
it's a very beautiful and important
point that we should internalize for our
own eles in our growth in our spiritual
growth and that is that there is an idea
of creation Hashem had to create the
world and the idea of creating the world
was that there should be a people that
will exist in this world that will
Elevate this world and connected as the
Von says to the upper worlds to the
spiritual world that is the idea of this
world that is the mission that we were
privileged to get that is the mission in
this world not that there should just be
a physic physical world and and enjoy
the physicality that Hashem gave us but
rather that this world is really only
here for a short time as we
know we nobody's here for that long a
time but what is the purpose the purpose
is is that we should bring into this
world and we we were given that that
privilege and when were we given that
privilege
by that is the night that we became Amal
if somebody were to ask you when did
kad's Amal begin you know what you would
say you would say that happened the
night that Hashem skipped over our house
and he killed makus and then ultimately
we went out the next morning that was
the moment that was the time that we
received
Kad we became and hasem as we spoke
before shim he anticipated he waited for
this time to have that beloved nation
and that is us and that is the purpose
of the world world so it may be that
creation may be in but the purpose of
the world is now and that's why
thees is in this week's para because it
wants to make sure that we know this
that we internalize this that is now by
Nissan this is the main month this
is this is how you have to look at the
beginning because this is the real sense
of purpose everything else is just a
means to get to the Nissan to get to the
to get the fact that we are the chosen
nation of Hashem we are his beloved
nation and when we realize this and we
internalize this and we repeat this as
the as the par told
us that we have to say it over and year
and year out and we re-experience it
every pesak night we get we get to
re-experience this tremendous love bond
between us of being chosen over again
reaffirming hasem reaffirming his choice
of am to be his Nation every single year
as we do that we we are elevated we are
elevated it's called freedom freedom
from the physical for restrictions of
the world because we're spiritual when
you're spiritual you're free from the
physical world we Elevate ourselves to
that connection like the Von says and
that's why that the the the Torah tells
us the fundamental and the basis for our
munah is not the realization that
there's a Creator everybody knows is a
Creator any honest person knows that
someone created the world you can't have
the Symmetry that we see that there
shouldn't be a Creator every honest
person knows that but to internalize and
know that Hashem is the supervisor and
he's the sustainer he's the orchestrator
of everything happens and the purpose is
to have a relationship with him to love
him and to be close with him that's a
level of amuna and that level of amuna
is what we need to have and that's what
Hashem gave us us allowed us to absorb
on P night on in this week's para which
we go over we commemorate and we
reabsorb every single year mem we should
use this para what we acquired from this
paraa what we acquire from the sh mikra
every single week while doing that
hashem's Torah that is how we express
our love that's how we keep the fire
going that's how we keep the connection
going how do we do that it's nice sat or
night is very important but how do we do
it how about all the other 52 weeks of
the year but the sh mikra that set
learning that set
liid the Torah and the says is one only
through Torah and what is the most basic
way take a look
in I admire everybody that's a part of
this program you are the ones that are
keeping the world together you are the
ones that unite us the the
with unite us with and unite us with
each other May that you
all and continue the strength to be able
to continue the MRA y as you do every
single week and when we all be together
learning M
together
