SZTC Purpose Video

foreign what are we doing here in this world what is our purpose why did Hashem create us the Muslim tells us that Hashem created us just so that we could receive pleasure he wants us to enjoy and to receive the most pleasure possible the problem is everybody is seeking pleasure but they don't know where to find the true pleasure the ultimate pleasure is in the Torah the ultimate pleasure comes from closeness to Hashem it's hard for a person to understand that or to see it if he never opened the gemara before there are some people they're learning one hour two hours three hours some even more through that learning they're finding the purpose of why they're here in this world the more we connect to the Torah the more we find true purpose and meaning in our lives the Torah Center has put purpose into my day your life has a purpose you just have to find the purpose [Applause] my cousin called me up one day and he said we're getting the family together for a class with Rabbi adid once a week do you want to come I said sure I'll join I had basically never been to the charizion tourist center it started way back when we did the classes twice a week for uh an hour and a half yeah I felt like I need more so one day everybody sees me coming out of Shadow so when are you going to take things more serious you have potential yes Robert how can I do it tells me I want you to come for one week six a.m in the morning if you don't like it go back do whatever you need it's on Broadway six o'clock it's hard for me to do me a favor just one week the rabbi you know what I'm gonna do it when I started I didn't know anything I did not know a word of gamara I did not know how to read opening again at the age of 28 it was a humbling experience slowly but surely everything just progressed from there I was learning in the morning then I started learning at night and then I wanted more I became more committed to the learning started coming every day I began to look forward to the learning I went for one week every day I came at six sharp since then 12 15 years I try not to miss a day of learning at six o'clock purpose that I was looking for I found it we learned we have two cedarim in the morning and at night with maharuta and it's a feeling of gaining wisdom wisdom that helps me think every day in my life in work with my family with my children started learning six to seven then seven went to pray and then we started a class after prayers from 8th to 8 45 now we're doing also Baruch hashemi that led to uh to another about 45 minutes of learning then you have the night Center but in between your life is all about Torah the more you learn the more you upgrade yourself it changed my life not only with the learning not only with the knowledge that I gained but the way I related to my wife the way it affected my family the way it affected my children I didn't realize that this was the impact that Torah was going to have on me and my family but looking back that one small step was changed my life you think you know what family is until you learned Torah you think you know what a wife is until they learn you find something more than that you find yourself if you don't have to right you're missing something and don't fool yourself for one second to say that no no I can I'm good the shama is looking for purpose and the purpose is Torah foreign
