Day #140–Rambam DAILY Sefer HaMitzvos

today is day number 140 of our daily study of ram Safari Mitzvahs in the three chapters a day of mishna Toyota We are continuing in the laws of the first fruits were in chapters three four and five of those laws we have two Mitzvahs today uh negative commandment 149 is the prohibition against eating first fruits outside of Jerusalem remember yesterday we had the positive commandment of bringing the first fruits to Jerusalem now we have the negative commandment prohibiting eating those first fruits outside of Jerusalem positive commandment 132 is the Declaration of the first fruits um it's sort of similar to what we learned was it yesterday about video Meister when you get rid of the mice or you're supposed to make a proclamation at least twice in seven years this is a similar type of thing it's a verbal Proclamation that is a accompanying the uh proper donation of these produce gifts uh when you bring the bikurim the first fruits to the Holy Temple so you have to recite a prayer of gratitude the whole concept of because my first fruits is the idea of gratitude you may recognize the wording of this uh prayer or this Proclamation because it appears in the Haggadah which means Lovin sought to destroy my forefather which means yankov and he dweld there few in number of but he became there a Great and Mighty numerous Nation the verbal Proclamation that accompanies bringing the bikurim accounts a very brief little history of the Jewish people from the patriarch Jacob through the enslavement in Egypt and gives praise to Hashem for his kindness is bringing us through those travails and to our own land where we can grow crops and and bring first fruits okay those are our Mitzvahs today we'll see you tomorrow for more God willing
