Shnayim Yomi - Yitro - D'var Torah

[Music] shalam Alum everyone it's an honor to spend these few moments together with you in preparation for chabas my name is Ruan brand I'm the r k of the W of Chicago and I am in total admiration of all of you who are pursuing and aspiring to complete this goal of as it says in when I was a younger person when I was learning in yiva University so I was taking on many different learning projects and at one point I had a discussion with my rebi the great reversal and we were talking about different things to learn and he looked at me and he just said don't forget mikra it's an obligation what it says in sh of all the other learning projects you have but don't forget the Baseline the beginnings the foundation it's MRA sood to each one of you in gives us a secret to the lasting impact of kadus and how we create that in the preparation for said to Moshe he said tell the people be prepared create sanctity go to the Mikvah get ready sanctify yourselves today and tomorrow of course on a simple level this means they had to prepare themselves physically for the receiving of the Torah for which would take place in 3 days so prepare today and tomorrow receive the Torah the next day one opinion of the gar is mosu kicked it down one more day but the point is on theat level they had to prepare for kabalas sat Tor on a physical level but there is a phenomenal deep and meaningful explanation the medish in the m has an expression that there is say tomorrow which is really much farther down the road explain when it says Vash it's a recipe a prescription for how we create sanctity K Our Lives tomorrow and for future Generations if we want to create kadus in our lives tomorrow and in future Generations it's we create opportunities and take them today and they're going to have an after effect there's going to be a spillover effect to marar for tomorrow and not only for marar but as the med says there will be an opportunity for K that's going to happen way later in the future that we won't realize but it will be the consequence the effect of the choice that we made today if we want to set ourselves on a path of kadua for the rest of our lives don't wait till tomorrow to make that decision let's make decisions to sanctify ourselves to infuse ourselves with kadus to connect toes today and it'll set us on our path for M for tomorrow for the rest of our lives and please God for the generations to come good [Music] chabas
