The Balanced Torah Diet Part 5 - Grand Finale, Identifying Your Personal Chelek in Torah

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good afternoon everyone this there's this Hashem I believe will be our the grand finale on this series namely the uh the subject of the balanced Torah diet and we discussed the gemaran kadushan that a person should divide their time into three talmud which means that according to tices to divide one's day into three we saw the shita of the Great rabbinotam that tamad babli encapsulates everything we mentioned that robistro cilantro says that in our times has a different definition mikra refers to gemara mishna refers to Russian tysus and gamara refers to pilpel we mentioned that the six questions that one will be asked according to the gra is did you learn did you learn moyad did you learn did you learn Ezekiel did you learn kochem did you learn Taurus which puts a very big onus on a person in terms of responsibility to learn rahmosha says that every Jew is obligated to learn kala tarakula which is defined as talmad babli even without talmudu xiaomi and we mentioned that aside from gemara and aside from babli and mishnaisal tell us that a person is really obligated to learn kala tarakula free Safra Taurus a person has asked you didn't learn this why didn't you learn and a person is accountable for that and we were discussing the the topic well that seems to be quite uh somewhat unreasonable expectation perhaps the Shiva and Moser said even great uh sadikim are not able to learn this and it's um it just demoralizing the Russian of the the Chevy monster on page eight was Let's see we get it down on the sheet over here um the shadow monster says that thinking about these ideas first of all we know God does not look to bust your chops of and how calculus Brooklyn expect this of the US especially mice and markova or things even more sophisticated anyone who hear these things just wants to throw in the towel says even the greatest sages of the generation cannot be proficient in all dimensions of Torah the Sheba Master says maybeevsky to the point where khazal say that if you can't answer in the affirmative they throw you into a self-cleaning oven and we were developing the idea that certainly if someone has the ability to learn certain topics and subjects and areas of Torah they certainly are responsible and they certainly are accountable but primarily what a person is accountable is what they were given at Sinai that every Jew at Sinai is given a particular connection to Tyler Patrick a particular package of Torah that belongs to them that they are able to understand that they were able to connect with and it is that a person is most responsible for and we're going to continue to develop that today but before we do that we're going to sort of magnify the question in terms of continuing the onus of responsibility of limits that you know they're different even within any subject of Tyra and by the way I just want to reiterate we also spoke about within Gomorrah there's an obligation to learn it in depth and obligation of learning it because we learned um we met we learned the long letter of RAB Shack about crying about the slow pace of learning today be it as says that there are different elements of Torah there's chat room as Russian side shot is like the cloak of the Tyra and the halachays are the Goof of the soul of the Torah and says we know terrorists compared to water and it's compared to Wine it could be the shot of Torah is compared to water the secret of Tyra is compared to wine and says someone who says that all Torah has to offer is shot we flip around the letters and we say you're a tippish you take the letters pay Shin tests those who say that I only learned shot really we now we now we know why you only learn shot because you're a complete fool you're a tippish says again who am I to I'm not calling anybody names but is calling you a name the name is those who say I only Embrace shot tippish you're a fool shot and those who say I don't believe in soid only shot so they've only believed him shot Remus and drush they're affaired they don't believe in the paradise again I'm only telling you the holy names that the great khida is is giving you so if you would like to be bestowed and dubbed Affair then then don't have any connection to soid you take the side out of the paradise and you're left like the vehicle of Bila maharasha and somebody who says that I only learn shot then there be they are rendering themselves a tippish now the talks about and this is the next part of uh responsibility of learning the importance of learning machinayas says in the evening you should learn mishnah or zayar or both of them together that is wonderful um says when you learn say there's any forbidden foods you may have eaten and any brothers you may have made and when you read say there moyad you should be having to be masaki in any hello when you read say they're nauseam if you're a POI game in arayas or nadarim and when you learn naziken if you cause your friend any damage and when you read it your holy nashama that you may have caused it to become Hulen or if you are not careful or badika and when you or if Havana and when you read say there are Taurus and in a clear pleasant voice there's nothing like it stands by the Gateway of gehenam and anyone who learns mishnais Usher pulls you out now says something very interesting and what if you learn mishnah and you read it like you're saying to Helena you don't know a word you're saying at the very least you should understand the translation of each word even though you don't really have an understanding of the subject matter because if you don't even understand the translation of the word there are those who say that it's not considered learning at all however says above and beyond any other subject is the learning of the safer of the zayar so now you're telling you have to learn sifri maisa merkava and now the Zaya says it's elevated above all learning even though you don't know what you're talking about even if you mistakenly read the words and it's a big rectification for the nashama because even though the whole Torah are names of God but nevertheless the Torah is cloaked in narrative and when somebody who reads it he's focused on the story or on the halacha but when this when you read the zayara desire are the raw Secrets out in the open and in a way is the most powerful learning so this is uh quite a responsibility and an onus of learning and let's let's complete The Vow Chevy muster uh his uh his approach to um his approach to the uh this subject matter of gimmel says he says therefore listen to my voice let me advise you and God should be with you this way you'll be able to rectify what you what you may have been wrong in this Google or in a previous Google he said that any he says a very important idea da you should know you should call Mitzvah Mitzvah is if any Mitzvah that you have a desire to immerse yourself in more than any other mitza if you're really into cover Chavez you're really into sitzis you're really into that's a sure Telltale sign that maybe you were lacking in that in an earlier Agogo and God sent you to this world specifically to focus on this on this uh limit don't slack enough do it in perfection you should Taco Embrace this Mitzvah you should focus on it you should immerse yourself in it I'll toss don't move it out of your sight of Muslim says you should know you can have many pitfalls they're going to be many impediments to try to keep you away from fulfilling this mitzvah because the samachem wants you'd have to come back to this world another time and go through the whole thing again and the proof that there's a concept that it's correct and it's proper and it's right to have a Mitzvah that you are connected with more than other other mitzvahs is the fact that the gamaran Shabbos they asked different what were you careful in and one opinion said sits this someone said coming to shul on time so what he was only careful on census no they recognize with their great wisdom what they came to this world for and they were immersed in that area and even though they kept all the missiles perfectly but they felt that the midst of that they came back to this world for that should be their focus and then they say that Musa comes and he says that this applies to learning as well let's say I like to learn Hamish more than mishnais the crane if I desire to learn Gomorrah more than Kabbalah or Kabbalah more than talmud learn what you love to learn you should know that what you want to learn is why you came to this world you should grab a hold of it that should be your main learning a person only learns Tara what they want to learn like it says that means whichever do you want to learn more learn it mikra mishna gemara Kabbalah agadata and by the way we could probably apply it I like to learn Eon better I like to win but kios better I like to learn lambdos I like to learn halacha I like to learn toys I like to learn the rush and we find the very early precedent for this it's Brandy kisse Ariza that the auschach he wanted to learn Kabbalah that result said nah you were a bigger mccubble in the last Go-Go you came back to this world to do drush you stick to the Jewish I'll stick to the Kabbalah therefore never become overwhelmed and say well I'm gonna learn the whole babbling and the whole you show me and and everything nah don't become overwhelmed you probably learned everything in a different Google already you just came back now to copyright and a few little things that you're missing and that's what you want to learn and and on the other hand that which you see you have impediment to that also may be why you came back to this world now that makes it a little bit complicated because on the one hand what I want to learn is what I came from and maybe my impediment is I don't really understand this subject is too hard for me so the bottom line is the Sheba Master says or Gamora and you should know if you don't learn that which you want to learn you're going to be accountable for that and the shiv and mussar in paragmamalev he continues on this theme he even brings a tefila where a person should say God almighty you know that I'm flesh and nobody could understand your greatness even if we know all the permutations of your holy names and all the covenants of the Phila and all the covenants of the brothers still and all this is it would be impossible to Plumb the depth of all aspects of Torah and certainly we flesh and blood that we cannot understand all these things therefore God almighty may it be considered and desired before you that my chakras that I pray every day and every word of God that I learned and all every mess I do please consider it as if I was Shameless having connected to every Villa that I pray and every Lima that I learned in every Myster that I do and this will Elevate every Mitzvah and therefore the Sheba Musa says here's the executive summary just because a person didn't know gamara or maracava if but he learns mikro or mishnah and that's what he learns that person will not be yorish because all the statements of Ghazal that a person is accountable for learning everything that's if they were able to and they were given on Sinai but somebody who gives it their best and is learning and making efforts to learn what they enjoy learning and especially if you have a right sign and you say that Phila that sham consider should consider your learning and your feel on the highest level then it will be and then you'll be connected with those that are ice sake in the my summer cover in other words you pray look we punish them I am Limited in my capacity but I joined together with the Jewish people in the limo Tire of Claus so you have a look in the learning of everybody like there's an idea by combining together with uh the rest of the Jewish people we become like one entity and we are able to uh enjoy the benefits of the learning of others now if a person wastes their time by studying the batting averages and the era of every player in Major League Baseball and their salaries and they become a very big Tamil in varambitalam so that means they did have the capacity to be knowledgeable in Tyra so then if they're not of course they're accountable of course they're going to be taken to test for that but the icker that a person has to recognize is that we are responsible to master and learn the khalac of Torah that was given to us personally when we stood on harsinai and the uh says as follows nobody in the world can make light of other people and say oh he only knows mikra he only knows mishnah he only knows Agoda maybe that's what he was given on her C9 and he's gonna get and Gane then and this guy who's about talmud he could have known massive and when he gets upstairs they're gonna throw him into the self-cleaning oven because you can never look at down on anybody in terms of their knowledge of nobody really knows what anyone's capacity is what they were given on harcinai it's possible the person who you look down on is fulfilling his potential and what he's able to learn on the other hand you who reckon yourself uh grossa kanaka maybe you could have been much greater now um the sheer Muslim says it could be when khazal say the world stands on three things Tyra refers to Micra avoida refers to Maison merkava which is avoida kasha and green is agarita by learning I gotta tell you recognize them and the tan is coming to teach since everyone was given their halek Ruben was given mikra Shimon was given massimarkava Levy was given agarita the three of them together uphold the world and never looked down on somebody who you feel knows less than you maybe this is what it means why was everything so destroyed because they forsook my Torah that I put before them why the tar they put before them it should just say they forsook my Torah why does it say differently I placed before them says the shaven Musa that generation made a big mistake they saw that some of them of that generation they were Bali mishna Bali Agoda Bala talmud but they didn't know more they didn't know master mercava and they figured well they are going to be asked about everything and if they don't know America so what's the point of learning anything else at the end of the day they're lacking in their learning so they just gave up what they didn't understand is God does not hold them accountable to learn more than Ashana you only have to learn what you were given at Sinai and if in that generation it was above their pay grade then that's not their helicoptera and the bausible says this is the meaning it should say in it say s means the job of the Jew is to be dedicated and devoted particularly to his Torah to the Torah that is his that is beloved to him of course we always have to try to learn and this is what it means Fortunate Son who comes here his toy Rose in his hand the particular aspect and that he was given on our Sinai be it mikra be a mission so the bottom line is the approach of the mussar is that yes theoretically if one is able to learn kala tarakula they are accountable for it but practically what one is accountable is one must learn and how does one know what their helicopter is what they love and enjoy to learn that's your helicopter that's what you're given on our Sinai and I think we mentioned this has significance we mentioned that from time immemorial on the night of shavuas people would say ticket and you look around today very few benay Yeshiva learning tikkenlaws and how could they forego this Minogue Israel how could they not observe this great Jewish practice and stuff rights a person could only learn what they want to learn and not only could a person only learn what they want to learn but the what they want to learn is the sign from Heaven of what is needed by their nashama and very likely that you we've may have been here in this world before and we already did this to free and we already did the sifra and we already did them but there's this topic that we really enjoy that's what we're here for so you say okay I love to learn agarita so I'm just going to spend the rest of my life learning I got and I'm not gonna know uh any halacha or Musa okay we already said there's certain basic things that every Jew needs to know you need to know mishnaburra you need to know Michelle you need to know and that doesn't mean you don't learn any gemara or you don't try to learn everything but you're entitled to focus on what you enjoy and this in a way is summed up in in terms of our responsibility to learn nobody says you have to finish the task is it reasonable that everybody's expected muster says even gud Island would have a hard time doing that but on the other hand you can never slack enough you cannot be you can't exempt yourself so you always have to put in effort and you always have to work and you don't always have to persevere and persist and on the other hand don't be down you don't have to finish the job but I want to just share with you uh one last idea and this is always very meaningful to me um you know writes that on Shabbos we'll conclude with this that while you're still alive think about the following the whole week you're busy with your business at very least on the holy day of Shabbos yo might you should learn contrary to popular opinion that Shabbos is just for sleep Shabbos is to be able to learn what you didn't have time to during the week foreign going for walks we see a drinking with Shannon sleeping Allah I'm supposed to learn the whole Shabbos I can't sleep I can't eat so the hidara writes the following seven words which I think should be a Guiding Light to everybody and it's really a very important Maxim to always keep in mind says you need to learn but you could eat and you could sleep and you could drink and you could walk but how am I going to learn and you could learn how am I gonna do all of that um someone who doesn't waste their time there's time for everything someone who doesn't waste their time there's time for everything sometimes I'm going to learn Hamish with Rashi and ramban and mishna and gemara and kaboba there's not enough time in the day maybe maybe not but one thing is for sure if you don't waste time there's a lot more time in the day and it although it's not our responsibility to finish the task is to call someone who doesn't waste time there's a lot of time and therefore the bottom line is in the peak of his intellect he went into the garage and he said you know I only rev I reviewed mayad tens of times I still don't really understand it so the grass says you think you can only stand you only learned to 20 30 times said how many times 101 times the God says no call your whole life is learn it and review it and review it and review it okay so this is the great subject of tamatera hopefully some of these ideas were meaningful and helpful and as Hashem we'll see you all next Monday for a new subject have a wonderful rest of the week you've just experienced another Torah class
