Simchat Torah : “Nagila V'nismicha Boch" - Dance With Hashem, Dance With The Torah

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good morning rabbi sai welcome everyone again our vyamtif we're going to speak today about the shamini at saras and sumkas toira to try to get an understanding of the arrangement of the year and why we finished laning the torah like a basically a month into the year i mean if you were arranging the schedule i think it would be a very convenient way that the last week of the year let's say the week before rosh hashanah elaine and then shabbat shiva you should lane boracious why in the world laying voracious already like three and a half weeks into the air this year you know the holy or even though it's like the 23rd day of the month already and we're starting voracious not a very convenient way to begin and to end well the la bush i am a tough race number one on your sheet says the reason we end and begin the torah on the last day of sukis the lord rosh hashanah and at the beginning of the year which is his first area that's an obvious question why do we begin the torah sort of a month into the year we should begin and end rosh hashanah we want to confuse the satan that he shouldn't know when rosh hashanah is why because we don't want him to be makatri ghancloud on rosh hashanah the same way one of the reasons we don't blow shy forever rosh hashanah we're trying to confuse him the same way we don't we're not in the valley of the dash of tishrei we want to confuse the satan so too we sort of delay we're still laying once we delayed it a little bit past rosh hashanah then we say you know what let's just wait until yamtifa is over meaning really we only needed to delay it until sha'a bashuva really well according to this logic should be laned right after rosh hashanah but once we're pushing it off we just push it off until the end of the year so this way there won't be an interruption between voracious and nayach because otherwise if you're going to lane wizards then there's going to be a big hepsik between voracious and nayak so therefore we want to streamline things and we wait for voracious until after the um now let's remember from you apparently the satan's long-term memory is not at optimum levels now well that's a discussion for another time but the let's let's focus on the question the question is why do we not begin the year leaning past just voracious um gives an answer let's see what we could offer uh further on this matter in uh rav david kayan the rashiva of khabron and his safers he asked another question um okay i understand you want to finish the torah after rosh hashanah why on shemini at saras why not on yom kippur maybe yom kippur is the day that said that lukashnias were given why not on the first day of sukkos the second day of sukkah is shabbat night like what in the world does shemini at saras what does that got to do with with finishing the torah another question rabbi sai this is the question of the karan ira an amazing question what is the name of the day that we dance around with the torah called simkasara gewaldek is it a hap is that a happiness to finish the torah absolutely are you allowed to get married on yomtif why because you can't you can't mix two simchas it's don't mix in the simcha of a wedding you don't get married so how in the world could you have a torah to rejoice upon the completion of the tar so we basically have three questions number one why do we finish the torah so to speak three weeks into the year number two why specifically shemini at saras and number three how are we allowed to rejoice with the torah you would not make a chanukah you would not make an inauguration because so why were they misakin while [Music] now me he's saying like this inaudible there should be a separate day and uh it's also how you allow to do it on yamtif he says even though there are poison that only asks are you to have a wedding but not a brass miller and a pidiana ben that's only because of um they hold the brasmila and the pyramid is not called the simcha but the rejoicing over the completion of the torah that that's a true simcha i mean the way people dance their samayah their their simcha the sassan and they dance then we should answer it and especially according to the sheet of texas that has that's sad to say that even by opinion certainly somehow but to finish it specifically on shminyatsaras it would seem to be difficult okay my brother says so let's explore this in the same in the safer the safer of was a talmud of the brisker of he brings down a gemara aragon what is the source of singing from the torah ravmastna of masten says from here because you did not serve hashem your god with happiness and with a good heart what service shall be the tough blade of what service is seeing uh serving hashem with happiness and a good heart have a mercedes that refers to shira in other words the gemara wants to know where is there a source that it's appropriate to serve hashem with song and the gemara says in eric and from the past now refers to shira says maybe refers to the very torah devatar is also a happiness like it says so maybe doesn't refer to shira but rather it refers to what torah kriya sahala that refers to the recitation of halal and the ramban writes in the say foreign saying halal on yamtif is dharaisa why it's part of that on yamthaf we have an obligation to rejoice with all types of simcha one of the types of simcha is shira shira is one of the types of simcha so therefore part of simcha sacha is to reach the majority where you sing shira and by doing so you're making simcha vittobrev and therefore says bracha listen carefully that the minogue and saras that people have to rejoice a lot with the torah would that be a fulfillment of simcha and tovalev he says no it might be a fulfillment of simcha but it's not a fulfillment of tovaleva but sure are just dancing and rejoicing with the torah but they're not rejoicing in the young tif that's not correct because rejoicing in the torah only gets you to the madriga of simcha it doesn't get you to the madriga of simcha and tuvaleva simbhantavlev is rejoicing with shira the enum is kavanagh and therefore you say it's okay that they're not having in mind the umptive and if they're rejoicing with the torah they're also you i'd say but based on what we said the madriga of simcha satora is only therefore it comes out if they're only rejoicing with the torah they're only rejoicing on the level of simcha but they don't reach the level of because the madriga of real simcha is shira and although and dancing with the with the torah it's not that simple is greater than just the opposite card is greater than satora it just it happens to be we learn out from the vm that would dance in front of the safe retirement he was and therefore the emac bracha points out a halacha that if a person on yamtif is only rejoicing on stara with the torah and not rejoicing in the empty they are falling short of the obligation because the obligation on yamtif is to reach not only the level of simcha but the madriga of simcha vitovlev and rejoicing with torah only gets you to the madriga of simcha so now we're going to learn something amazing that no that maybe we could argue a different vantage point than the um the emic bracha and explain that the simcha of shmini at saras is a different simcha than regular sumhasayam maharaja said please take a look in the alcot mighty the aku shamanian pasha's pinchas at the end of rama's top shin pebez is explaining a certain dimension of the simcha of simcha's torah and the simcha of shmini at saras and what is that he explains as follows amer of alexandria for the seven days of rejoicing the son of the king was busy with the guest imagine a king naftali imagine there was a king he made a huge party a big party and he told his son you go out and you you know take care of all the guests bring them food bring them drinks dance with them enjoy with them now the problem is the king doesn't have a chance to rejoice with her son when the seven days are over the king says to a son look i know you've been busy for seven days and i haven't had a chance to enjoy you now me and you are going to rejoice together and the acts of aniva you and i we're going to rejoice uh together and today we don't have to be busy with the food we don't have to have a big meal we don't even need the food totally take one chicken little thing of meat and that's good to go so too says the madrish for the first seven days god is rejoicing with all the nations of the world the nations of the world are coming to the base i make dust and we know we bring a lot of kirbanis for them how many carbonaries right 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 70. connected is the shiva mummy's sasham says you've been so busy with the ghayem we never had time to rejoice me in you the how many carbonates are brought you don't have the fourteen question a day you don't have all the param a day all you have is now listen carefully when claudius hears that on sasha wants to rejoice just on him and us you know what claudius says this is the day that god made we're going to rejoice in him listen carefully all the other days in yamcha we rejoice in the yamtif on saras we don't rejoice in the we rejoice with god you hear the difference the matter says claudius says we rejoice with god what does that mean do you rejoice in the yamtif [Applause] salvation in the 22 letters that you wrote in your torah listen carefully after seven days of yamdev that cloud israel is rejoicing together with god and all the um so hashem says you know i never had a chance to rejoice with you so i want one day to rejoice with you so claudius well says i'll rejoice with him but we still don't know maybe we just mean in it says we rejoice in the torah we rejoice in your salvation we rejoice with hashem this yakut shamani opens up a completely new understanding of shemini [Applause] letters of the torah meaning how does a jew rejoice with god what do you do you take god you grab onto his hands and you do a little jig with the ibanez how do you rejoice in god when you rejoice with the torah the torah and god are one small terrorist in a way is the most intimate day of the year with ubanisham because every other day you're rejoicing indirectly in the yum you're rejoicing directly with god how with the torah meaning the reason we dance with the torah out is not directly because we finished the thailand that day the reason we rejoice with the torah says the one day where hashem says forget the day just rejoice in me how do we rejoice with god with the torah so would finishing the torah answering this be a contradiction to sweeney outsiders would it be a steroid says would you say no that is the day every other yomt if you have a rejoicing in the yamtif actually it says you rejoice in god the way that you rejoice with god is rejoicing with the torah so it's not a steroid to say well how could you have a sim cast you're going to mix the yomtif with the torah the answer is the whole essence of sheminates is rejoicing with god the way you do that is rejoicing with the torah take a look in number seven in brisker it's published in the safer curious in the new stencil it's bournemouth so the fractal so special that there's a rebuy symphony more than any other yamtif that cloud you swallow says hashem like what's so special about miniatures why does the matter say that claudio says we don't know whether to rejoice in the day or with god how is the simcha it says different than other other young that we have this doubt should you rejoice in the yomtif or should you rejoice in god so marvel rabbi said please take a look at number eight in rav david khan savers man on page the meaning here is a simple interpretation as on every yamdiff the icaramitsu is the simchas like it says [Music] rejoice in the day in the yantath the rejoicing is in the antiv it's the simchasm because of the quality of the day it causes say no that we left mitsrayam we got the torah sukkah says and this simcha whether it's pesach or sukis repeats itself and strengthens every year we know the calendar is a living cycle the day hasn't it all the other rights that renew on their annual basis therefore we rejoice in the day the day is a living entity that repeats itself shmeeniyat saw us what historically happened on shminyaksaras nothing we know repeats itself every year on shabbos god gave us the torah it repeats itself every year on sukis god forgave us for the ego it's like it repeats itself every year nothing happened that many aseras there's nothing latent in the day itself but rather it is an expression of me and you are rejoice so therefore we're music we're not sure is it like other young target that rejoice in the day or is the entire essence of the day just me and god just us and god and therefore this is not in the day it's with hashem with you hashem we don't know what it means in the day or does by mean in him and with hashem therefore comes and clarifies we're rejoicing with you hashem with your torah that means is defining that the way when is the way we rejoice with hashem is by rejoicing with the torah says is different than every other young if every other year to rejoice in the day shiva says we rejoice in hashem and therefore since the essence of shemitah says therefore the way we express our joy is by rejoicing in the torah like brings down and then number nine they're connected or is the way it's colloquially said yes [Applause] therefore khan based on this we can answer the question of us why have we established the day that we complete the tar shemini at saras shouldn't we establish it on the beginning of the year no what day do we rejoice with god directly and not only tell us how do we rejoice with god by rejoicing in the torah therefore they designate it at stay we finish the torah not because it's near the beginning of the year because it's the day of the year that we rejoice with god therefore and the way we rejoice with god is by finishing the torah by rejoicing with the torah therefore says rav david khon is there a question how could you be ma'ari of the simcha vyam tif with the simcha the torah no the simcha of the yamtif of saras is rejoicing with god which is expressed by rejoicing with the torah it's not a steroid is not a it's not a steroid to the it's the essence of the empty the way with which we rejoice on terrorists is every other yamtha we rejoice from the power of the day so rejoice for just us and hashem which is expressed as a simcha with the torah now given with the 22 letters of the torah therefore says of david khan we could argue on the bacha says those who rejoice with the torah are only on the madriga of simcha bananas no answers the way the obligation of the simcha is expressed is by rejoicing with the tarot with the 22 letters of the torah aye the governor and erican says is on a lower level than samkhasyamtiv because satire is only pikudayasha that's talking about learning torah learning torah gets you on the madrigal of hashem however rejoicing with the torah that will get you on the level both of simcha and tovalev comes the safer you sawed bashar shah look at number 11. we're almost there hamilton with the various scrolls of the sheriff like we do um on the next day as well and this is um meaning in the so the managers have similar onshores on the night and the day like desire says and we crown the sephora torah in the it's kessa and we show that to pharah the splendor and the majesty of the torah and then they say to shasha by the quotes and another 26 and 65. we know the shrina down below is in the sukkah sukkah 91 26 and 65. it's the shem and that is expressed on shemini at saras when we rejoice in the torah and we make a torah on the head of all that sadiq and shamayim and therefore this is our our holy obligation on simkasara you should try to accustom this custom in that you're based on knesset without any fighting without any contention and you should rejoice on two days of um so if you look in the in the zarya qatar said there you saw the structure by the quotes doesn't say a word about that we finish the torah on on saras it's not really connected to finishing the torah it's your rejoicing with the torah that's bringing out this point that we mentioned it's not that uh and and by rejoicing with the torah is from the fundamental obligations of the day so one of the questions we asked were it's astira you have a yamptif so how can you divert your attention the anthem and dance with the torah no the way this young tip is expressed on serious is not to rejoice with the day but rather to rejoice with the torah if you look in the secretary a rabbi yakov of the rajva he says [Applause] the entire essence of the holiday is rejoicing with the torah so again it's not a steroid to dance with the tarantulas there is no yamctiph of the eighth door other than dancing with the torah says the swarno also a similar idea under one of the cadmium he brings down that this day after sukkah that all the simchas of the three regalum have ended is a day a holy day a yayaman saras that we're withheld in the holy places and we rejoice with the torah and the swamp listen carefully listen to the whole the holy words of the svarnam the swarno says when we rejoice it's an expression of yes israel rejoices who's also with god what do you say i thought we were rejoicing with the torah no the way that we rejoice with god is by dancing with the suffering torah and therefore the mishabura quotes the um he brings out the marrick says in the name of high going that even the zucchini they dance when the torah is praised and therefore you need to strengthen yourself to dance like danced and and rejoiced and jumped with all of his strength before hashem and they say the same thing about that reason would dance with all his kayak and somehow torah and aries said about himself that the highest madriga that he reached is that he was miss the mitzvah and the guru also is uh reported to have danced before the cevitar with all of his kayak why was this such an elevating experience for that resale because when we dance with the save retire on shamini and service it's not just a minhag the entire concept of the yamcha version is fundamentally different than every other yomtif every other yamtif were nagila venezuela when it comes to shemini now what does bhai mean the yam or god shall clarifies with god god and the so just to spell out the reason why the ham sort of reserved the completion of the until this day because since this this is the day that we rejoice with god and the way we rejoice with god by dancing the suffering it's a very appropriate day then to complete the torah and it's not a contradiction to the umph when in fact this is the essence of the amtaf that the rest of yamtif we have like gobi tweens between us and god we have to do a mitzvah to rejoice with god sukkah saraswati us and god we rejoice with him directly with his torah i wish everyone got you've just experienced another torah class
