Why do i have to learn Torah? Part of a lecture by Rabbi Alon Anava - Part 15

but only whoever's hugging nothing's going to happen to him that me what does it mean if you are and you don't have any sin I'm get hurt by what does that mean it means that you have to go and make your family religious you have to do hold on but just to finish the answer huh there also so many that we didn't get to learn even a lot of them that we did learn not always it's so easy to change and start doing also first of all for in regards to yourself your main responsibility is yourself and you do have a responsibility to get to a point that you do that you do everything you can come and say oh I'm I'm here that's enough for me in order to serve a you have to do everything you can't give yourself a discount you have to go through the entire with whether it takes you a year or five years and you have to know that every little thing every there's not the there's every s every line it's not written St it's written because you have to do it so maybe right now you can't do everything but every week you learn 10 and you do it and then you add another 10 and you do it you constantly have to add you can't say oh I'm very religious now this I don't have to do that's a mistake I mean people are learning but but just by learning something doesn't make me already do something already so if you're if you're not doing it then there you have to do it the thing is that half the that you would learn they really you're never going to do that's where you learn it in the level of or if you why when you have to learn you have to talk that you in and because you can learn we don't have right now you can learn of I don't know you're not getting married you can learn all sorts of that has nothing to do with you but if you learn a and you read it a year later and you said I'm still not doing it then it has to rise uh red light in your mind saying why am I not doing it I have to do it if it's a big thing then you have to get yourself to do it if it's a small thing yeah you know you can't if you're ready to already twice and you said to yourself why am I not doing it then you have your own answer and I'm not trying to tell you oh what you're doing is not good Shalom but you constantly have to add and add and add and I in the last year decided that I'm going to really try to master because I got to a point that I would open and be like you know I would really be like I'm doing this you know I'm I think that I'm religious I'm I'm not doing it I'm not doing it right because there's so many things I said you know I'm now deciding that Shabbat I'm learning all the to be perfect you know so every Shabbat I know I ref refine myself a little bit more and refine myself a little bit more and I refrain so much more and I know so now I know I'm not allowed to do this you know many things I didn't know you're not allowed to do that you know so many little things and they're practical they're things that you do every Shabbat so the thing is it's you know you have you can say oh you know I put a and I go twice a week you and I'm fine no you have to you have a obligation and the thing is that once you put your leg into the water you can't say I'm not I don't want to get wet anymore that's it you put your you decided to put yourself in the water you have to go in you know there's a movie The Matrix you ever saw it with the blue pill and the red pill that's it you decided to take the blue pill that's it you go in you can't say oh I don't want anymore so the thing is that yeah the more you go in it's like a onion another layer another layer another layer and you need to refine yourself you want to refine yourself because you don't want to find yourself you know thinking that you keep Shabbat and then you know wow you know I'm actually not keeping Shabbat cuz I'm failing here in Bor and I'm failing here in Bish and I'm failing here in this wow you know and and the more I go in I understand wow you know there's so many little things you don't really notice it's practical things little things you know you're not allowed to even to to do borer most people think borer is with food no you're also not allowed to be bor with with clothes with anything yeah you know yeah you're not allowed to go into your drawer and start sifting the socks I prepare before shabat so you there's so many little things that you know there's so many things that you think you're not allowed to do you do allow to do there so many things but if you want to if you want to reach to the top yeah you reach another time and another time so that you say how to not get overwhelmed that you say what's most important first it's most important is to know how to walk and to walk you know to walk is so first you learn you have to learn how to walk and once you covered this whole thing I'm not telling you now to go to and learn all the and everything and all the yeah you have to you have to first learn the basics that you know what to do what not to do and if you have something you know basic things you don't have to start calling the ra I did this I didn't do this you have to know the minimum and then you have to learn a lot of a lot of time to the mitv you don't you know you don't have to start researching in every day 3 hours all the on every little you don't have to know that at this point but you want to taste a little bit from each that's why I told the boy before the boy the young man you can't learn 20 minutes a day what's 20 a minutes a day you're just you know you're warming up the engine with 20 minutes a day you chose to be religious you have to choose you to say I have to learn at least two hours a day I have to learn I have to know what I'm doing if I already chose my eyes opened up I see the truth okay now I decided to to be in the army of hem then I have to I have to you know you go into the army you go to you have to get dirty you have to get trained work out it's not easy nobody says doing Chua is easy but on the other hand you're doing the right thing this is you're learning every time that you not now on Facebook and you're sitting and listening to T this this is maybe we're not learning right now so I would I would call it a but you you're busy now with with with you're not sitting and listening and movies and and and all this stuff you're sitting in a is around us and you're listening this is you know it's not a you know it's not but you're learning you probably can you can pack pick in from here like 10 that you go out or things to do anything that makes you one step closer to hem it's great shouldn't first of all you have to understand a few things even if you want to and you lock yourself in the ISA you're not going to go through even a DOT of percent of the Torah that is out there so you already have to internalize it second of all when mashia will come you're going to learn all the Torah much more than what we have now we're going to learn the mashia is going to come and unveil everything so we don't worry rabman says that if you have the desire this burning desire to know all this Torah don't worry when the time will come they'll give you this Torah you'll get the chance to learn but if you really have the desire if you're telling a I would wish wish to know the all the whole SH now don't if you really want it when the time will come you'll get the Merit to learn it now not to get discouraged you know it's a you you can grab a drop in the ocean you need to know when you when you start first of all you have to know what to do and what not to do so you have to learn and you have to learn you have to learn a little bit of each you can't like if you're saying okay I'm devoting myself to Li T go into Yesa for 20 years I promise you you you'll get a good bite out of the Torah if not then you tast a little bit from here a little bit from here a little bit for here and you say this is what I can can handle and when the time will come I'll I'll I'll learn it anyways but if you're not devoting yourself you know how I would wish to sit all day long and study I know it's not what I'm supposed to do I'm supposed to now go and lecture every night and to do shim I wish I could go into Isa lock the doors and sit there all day long cuz I have such a yearn to learn what I touched is nothing compared like exactly how you said I open one book wow I can learn you know I have bookshelves in at home with books I never touch them I wish I would have had time to go through the books and even if I had time to go I had to read it 100 times to really understand it so don't get discouraged because we're not here to master the Torah we here to to do your tun in this world to learn Torah because you supposed to when mashia will come don't worry all the Torah you're going to learn you know in the seventh Millennium we're going to have a thousand year A Thousand Years of chabas we're going to sit a thousand years with mashia and learn all the Torah and everything that we don't even yeah yeah you're going to have you know Sunday 8 in the morning m 9 in the afternoon AB a you're going to have sh you're going to have IP iPod iPad iPhone with the app when oh I want to be the shobu is talking about you know so when you in AAL de time did you you said that you show yourself they showed you how you need to be they showed you your life your kids to to raise kids is is an art you can you there you know to be a perfect father or a mother is the thing is that most people they don't see being a parent as as the main mission in her in their life and the thing is that you have 20 years to design a person and then he goes out to the world and the way you designed him that's how he goes you can create per perfect amazing people or you can create messed up people and Parenthood is is literally an art you have to know when to push when to pull you have to be this for sure I wouldn't say be lenan you have to know about when to let go a little bit cuz sometimes I was explaining B today to my wife we were talking about it a kid is like a spring you qu qu qu at some time some point it needs to like release and if you don't let this release to go out it will quetch a little more more like a spring the more it catches the the release will be much more stronger so you need to let the kid sometimes release you can't let choke the kid too much because kids it depends I have one boy that he's you know in his level I can cratch him as much as I want he's he's he's here I have one boy if I cratch him too much too much pressure that's it he he cracks so you have to know each child when to give when to when to to you know move back when to be like a real good father best friend when to be you know you have to you know raising a kid is is is M it's a it's it's not
