oh yeah
permission to bet yeah on Mission a bit
the mission says as follows
he was
from the last of the anshek says
foreign
ER explains this was something used to
say constantly and he says everything in
the homicide remember this when it says
he used to constantly say this
particular thing meaning obviously all
that said many things and they taught
they were saying particular we said that
they said to the generation this is
something they said constantly I think I
saw
hashems brought down that they wanted to
say that why did they say this in
constantly because that was the message
that the generation needed to hear
constantly right
but we'll discuss it maybe next week we
get to it on that question we mentioned
I think Hanukkah time I think I'm not
sure
now and he says
on three things the world stands
which is fine
no
um
the a few general questions over here we
have to understand uh
what does it mean how lamb Omid the
world stands upon yeah
because it says at the end of peric of
this peric yeah and everyone asks this
question
um
shalom
right
on on
different things
right what's going on
he actually says he has a different
juicer he says when he says over there
it says kayam
yeah yeah different gears but this thing
is he wants to know
um what is it what's over here yeah
what's going over here that's the case
what's going on so it's on these three
things on those three things what's
going on over here
now
um another thing is why is is because
all this brought first but why does it
says yeah
um we're going to see later there's
actually
bed that says
I don't understand
right
right we're going to get 10 minutes yeah
so fine so I mean why why that
particular order okay
um now
the
I'll explain I'll tell you that the
Baltimore wants to say this is
Universe when it says
it means that this was the purpose why
the world was created
explains
that are really really Sean is he says
that this he said that
um the world was created for this
what does that
means
that the ratson means this means that we
will find favor as it were in hashem's
eyes yeah his will is fulfilled by us
the Jewish people
um keeping these three doing these three
things
now we're going to see the Torah
includes everything right
part of the Torah is
one of the mistress right so what why is
you know just say for Torah
right the world stands on Torah right
they've been talking about everything
that that's it right the whole thing is
Hashem created the world right that's
what it's in the first Rashi on on me
so you have to understand the video
obviously more to it when we say that it
was rat song the brain the only goes
bring brings him we're not going to go
through all the sukim now but brings on
um and he has another later in he talks
about when we say in the morning
life is
that life is by bang you know being
buying things by finding favor in
hashem's eyes
there seems to be understand
specifically
are that much more not to exclude
anything else you understand right but
these three things particularly okay
now the third Israel has a completely
different take on this on this Mission
he says beautiful he says
when it says he calls this three golden
keys of success in a person's individual
life if you remember we said last week
you weren't you weren't here last week
on the previous when we said that
said
which most learned referring to they
were saying to the Future Rashi Shiva
you know what they did
what you need to do the continuation of
the you know of the Torah and the
kilometer how to be careful in judgment
have many tamidium have you Shiva Etc
this is you know for the continuation
the Jewish people and the keeping of the
Torah and he
it could be I'm not sure if the series
and keep on following this through says
it's referring to the individual we said
last week remember that metronome the
individual should be slow to judge
and when he says
the person's own children and anyone he
comes in contact with doesn't have to be
rosh hashiva right and when he says
that's his own thing now we mentioned
the the the evidence that the gun says
you know there's the basics and every
person knows himself in certain areas
the biggest Sorrows who makes his own
boundaries with me just individual thing
so he carries that on over here
um and he says that this is find each
individual because if you look at it you
know it's like it says
without the whole existence of the world
Hashem brought the world into existence
in order for Torah
this is
the universe we're talking about right
and he takes it into microcosm and he
says referring to an individual it's
referring to the individual a person
wants the world of the individual yeah
your personal World in this world and
the next World depends on the next three
things
and he explains why he says that there
are three elements to a person which
mentioned before the morale says there's
been a dumb that is
beginning when we talked we spoke about
the importance of running we mentioned
right and it says
and we said already explained it with us
again reflect the same thing
um
working on himself and and zraim is
right in the Jameson it's the same thing
over here use the same the same idea and
he says
is referring now just read what he says
he says and he says this is
full treasure houses but these golden
keys
and he says as follows the the reason
why a person was created a person was
created was in order he should regain
perfection in his shama through his body
meaning through being a human being in
this world and three levels
right meaning learning Torah to get as
much as possible which is
what right keeping them
Etc
um
which is the top of everything
everything is included in Torah Abu dies
Hashem
he says
referring to Abu data meaning
right to help a person not to upset the
person and he says
person keeps these three things he
learns Torah keeps them its world and
does
himself Hashem and and his fellow Jew
then his world his world yeah
Will Stand he'll be raised up through
these things yeah that's why it's a
beautiful thing now
um
the
yeah
it just is not going with the to 30
Israel with his shots but he adds on a
comment which which helps understand
yeah we're talking a person's individual
world the the med to stand
he said that
um where's it gone now one second
uh-huh
yeah he says that
this world we know is really not
standing is transient right so in that
respect it's all shaky like he said over
there it's like a passing Shadow a
person's life the whole world really
compared to what's going to be with him
even six thousand years or what can be
existence here is nothing right so he
says that when you do these three things
then you are going to take what
essentially is a world which is not
really standing
meaning it's not Eternal and you make it
Eternal get it
right that the world this world if we're
going to say I'm using it I'm plugging
into the thread Israel you each
individual Jew that you know his
stand otherwise it just comes and he
goes there's nothing really there but
through this it's going to stay with me
um see these three things
um
foreign
the
the the
in his perus we said taught about it
it's a must for everyone it was written
for by the bathroom officially
but if you read it it's got everything
everything needs to know and it's
written very easily because
they're very easy to understand and he
says it's very it's beautiful he writes
and he explains
um he's got a mama over here he actually
says that the the
the beauty of the godlot one of the
person is when we say Hashem creative
man but okay
so we said we mentioned we mentioned
last week you mentioned many mentioned
again I'm sure
um the beginning of Charlotte over there
he's he the whole child of his to
explain what does it mean to tell them
how can a person be with me said you
know the whole the famous question
Hashem has no form
so what does that mean Hashem created
God man in the form of God what's that
supposed to mean so he explains over
there there's a there's a certain aspect
to man which is similar to something
which is Godly right he goes not to
explain now uh the hobbit's Heim he he
he says it's a similar idea but he takes
the brashid and he says we look how Man
was created right it's different to the
animals animals came up from the earth
as cows you know horses werewolves they
were came out as a complete being living
being with an epic from the ground
Man was created
a goylum right and then was it
right
man
so he took something completely physical
and made it become alive yeah and living
a living being a spiritual thing
says to speak power of speech says
beautifully very very simply
he says that is what it means with
element of him right meaning just like
according who took something completely
physical and breathed into it
spirituality which essentially means
something eternal
so too man could do the same thing to
the physical he can take the physical
through his actions his mind his speech
and change the physical into something
spiritual which is Everlasting which is
what we just discussed right
of further said right you can make it
last forever and he explains like he
says look he said look the whole concept
of making a Quran you take a cow
what did he say he just said some words
get it and he took something completely
physical like a cow and made it into a
college Kardashian right
unbelievable and he says everything like
that everything a person does in his
life he goes around right we'll see
later on everything he can do he can
make into that and every night we know
that he said even all the physical
things were involved in he says all
these things right you know I'm doing it
I'm healthy to serve Hashem so it's all
considered you know
but he's making it it's that plus
meaning we're taking you have to realize
we're using this car we're taking the
physical and the transient and making it
into something Everlasting you
understand and that's what life's all
about yeah I'm saying now
to start with we said Torah specifically
so again we just take what he said the
obviously limiterize anything but we
tell him right
saying to him just saying the words you
know you know exception but obviously
the more a person is engaged in uh
engaging his mind his whole being to to
what he's learning the more connected
right
he says like I said now everything a
person does learns is called you know
but the more you are involved in your
you know
apply yourself the more connected to out
Hashem and the highest level that he's
talking about pair and what we have
nowadays
because that that takes the most right
he said you already know in the Kingdom
you have to use a brain now you can't
just space out you almost
some Joshua some stories and you have to
really apply yourself you have to read
the words you have to understand what's
happening what's going on what's Russia
what is that what I'm saying you have to
apply yourself completely you can't just
space out you have to be fully focused
says
Hashem brought us into a covenant I was
going to say it before right with the
Covenant he made with us meaning that he
we are the chosen people forever right
and he's you know Hashem is watching
always looking after us and we've got
limousine we can own them and we can
change the whole universe Etc was
through Toshiba
because
foreign
against all the waves of time what
happened
and all the Inquisition and the programs
and everything and you know in
emancipation of Napoleon what what was
it
because
they were trying every generation to
take us away from the Torah even
forcibly or entice us whatever it was
what was it
foreign
it's very poetic he says that the the
flowed in the blood in their arteries
and filled their hearts up he explains
how beautiful he says it that was a toy
shops
that is what kept the Jewish people
going he says without that there's no
Jewish people
right and with that explains the way and
he says now in his time he said when the
reform were coming up and changing
things and he was talking about his time
you can't imagine how he says she was a
closing and people are leaving and
everyone's saying their kids to goes to
schools in his time right
he says that is the end of it we haven't
got that it's the end of the Jewish
people the end right you have to
understand why it's important why that's
why when you know in volusion in a time
to see if they want to just add in to
learn Russian for one hour a day one
hour a week the Civil closing the
Yeshiva
close Yeshiva right there's no point
there's no point because once you're
going to bring in something else you
know better start already then then
that's the end of us so all right let's
start this over there that's that that's
that's Tori I will carry on next week
