Shnayim Yomi - Re'eh - D'var Torah

[Music] it's been truly a pleasure to have you following us in chennai mikra i want to thank you for following us i also want to give you a big hazaku baruch for what an incredible achievement uh to have been doing the some same and some flavor uh of all the the different earlier that we had throughout the parishiot and hakadosh baruch give you the koa to continue highland to learn torah and to even inspire other people to do the same at this point i want to share with you an idea uh on this week's parasha and i'm going to try to tie it up to tie it up to uh all the aliyots that we've been developing together if you remember from the beginning of the parashat the concept is versus kedalam we explain that the way that this works out is throughout the parashat from the first aliyah we see how the right approach is take away the bad influence take away the ra from you and once you've done that build on the tough make sure that you do what's good and you become very and all these ideas are technically hinted in the name of the parasha itself if you think about the word what is in hebrew it means look when even in english when you tell someone look usually it means take a break and start thinking to take a break from the routine to take a break from the influence take a break from whatever you thought until now was normal and start thinking and there is a beautiful beautiful sephir musa that we all know called the mesidati sharim where after establishing a person understanding that he needs to set up a goal to his life the first two parakim are dealing with two mid-dot called midat haze and middad has a result the herod means to be aware awareness against what we call the mitzvoth uh says that the right path the first step in abu dhabi is immediate as he root to be aware and to think about what i thought or what people have thought that it is okay and there is no more that maybe is not and this is how that was asking us the way to do it is first thing start to look have a different angle start to maybe even think out of the box and try to think that maybe the things that i've been doing until now i'm not necessarily following the halacha and not necessarily what aka who wants from me and that's that's what we call the middah of the root means wait think reflect and eventually you'll realize that there are things in your life that should be done in a better way and finally does not mean to do things in a fast way that is suit is how to build up the mitzvot when we do a mitzvah we do it with simha we do it with joy we do it with with enthusiasm with excitement and that is what we call the asset of that is the next step in avodah hashem as well and that also requires the same awareness applies for both of them which means once you start something make sure to finish it make sure to think it through how can it be done the best possible way if it was for me how would i expect this mitzvah to be done and that is what you know this word of is really putting all together the ideas that this parashat develops and let's remember that the end goal says everybody is looking for barakah in their life once you have barakah everything works out even if shalom things seem to be bitter and difficult when a person has been in his life he is able to go through through every single situation with a smile that is really for the best and that parasha is giving us on the platter the formula to do it we all have the same goal reaching for the barakah and taking the kerala away from ourselves the way to do it is all explaining the parasha but with one condition and the condition is in the first word just take the time to stop and to think do not follow do not be someone who just does things because everybody else is doing it think for yourself ask hashem you will be able to have true barakah in your life shabbat shalom [Music] you
