The Secret of Secrets: Lessons Learned from the One Blue String with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] welcome home to torah we are in parsha shalach chapter 15 verse 38. we're dealing with sitzis and specifically trelet which i will describe for a second is a bluish green many people don't know they think it's only blue rash it clearly says well let's look at let's look at the verse and then we'll look at rashi i just also want to mention of course we deal with fundamentals we're using the clear car as the outline for this discussion and i encourage you to learn the hebrew itself go into the link down below and in the link you will find a the website and on the website there's different um there's different years there's different titles you'll have to find the book and the title and the year and you'll find the hebrew the original hebrew text now in the verse it says like this speak to the children of israel and you shall say to them that they shall make fringes for themselves in hebrew albin israel via martian keep in mind lehem they shall make for themselves sitsi ah convey big they hem on the corners of their garments laduro tom for all generations venas nu al citiz con of siltrelas on the corners of the garments throughout their generations they shall fix a thread of blue sky wool on the fringe of each corner these shall be fringes for you and when you see it you'll remember all the commandments of the lord to perform them you shall not wonder after your hearts or after your eyes after you they cause you to go astray um so in the hebrew it says it should be for you or etemo tone you're going to see them us hashem you're going to remember all the mixes of god and to do them vasite follow him and not to chase or explore after your hearts or after your eyes i share a temporary hem which cause you to go astray just keep in mind that rashi says over there that the the color is of the zone it's a greenish color that comes from a sea creature but i want to focus on a certain part of this rashi that mentions the word sitsis has two possible definitions one is based on a lock of hair which we call a braid and you'll find that in ezekiel 8 3 he took me by a lock of hair of my hair bitsy seat okay then he mentions also this is really what we're going to focus in on in a song of songs chapter 2 verse 9 when he says you shall see it it's similar to the words right from the word maitsit okay we're going to go into that verse um at length also now i just want to stop for a second because we mentioned that if you look at these this is what the clear car is going to focus on that just by looking at this blue thread you're going to remember all the mitzes of god we have a big problem with that how is it that just looking at a thread is going to cause you to remember all the mixes of god we will discuss that but i just want to preface it with what ravench weinberg always told us in the yeshiva in isha torah was that you have to know them in order to remember them so he encouraged all of the bakrim all the students there to learn them learn them through the rambam and memorize them so that you could always recall them at any given time another thing that rashi mentions is the word seat seat is the gemachi of 600 and we have five knots and eight strings so that's thirteen so six hundred plus thirteen six thirteen you're gonna remember all the mitzvahs of the gods they're 613 misses just by looking at the citizens now it's a little bit of a problem and i'll tell you why because the way the word sitsid is actually spelled in the torah is not 600 it's actually 590 because there's only one unit it's pronounced as if there's a second good seat seat but in the rit in the cree it's only spelled 590 meaning without the second good however sin sits this is written three times and you can look through the paragraphs and see the third time it says let's eat seat so the lid the lamid is 30. so when you add them all together it does come out to what we'll say 600 times three because of the lamid is divided the three goods throughout all of the citizen okay so let's begin with the clear car and he says like this beyond the entire content of our parsha this paragraph requires a clear explanation and he begins with the famous question that i just asked how is it even possible how does it work that you'll come to remember all the mixes of god just by looking at a particular color string near the fire is the indian ship he begins by telling us that there are two distinct ways to explain it so i ask you stay tuned because the second way is unbelievable the first ways we're going to deal with first first things first he says derek harishon who al derek shaham rubi sufri the way it's mentioned in the medras same two in the the yokocho money and parcher's hazinu which let me just say like this he brings down just a few lines i actually have the entire thing in front of me and i will read it for you it's i only have a hebrew translation unfortunately i never found an english translation but i'll do the best i can with what i have it's like this that what happens is in the medrash it says that god said to moses speak to the children of israel and tell them to look at the heavens which i have created and to that i created for your use do they really change from their character trait keep in mind character trait we're not even talking about color here he says shema shinnuing midatan do they even change from their character trait does the sun rise from the west of course not so we have a few verses number one in cohes that's ecclesiastes chapter one verse five it says the sun rises and the sun sets zerach hashemish right the sun shines and the sun sets and to its place it yearns and rises there the low odella not only that but it's happy we're going to discuss i want to know i want you to know that we're going to discuss the fundamental concepts called fear of god and love of god and we're going to learn it right we're going to learn these ideas and one is greater than the other so the way that the way that the sun and the stars they all go in these orbits and the planets they're happy to do the will of god and how do we know it says in psalms chapter 19 verse 6 it's talking about the sun s-u-n and it is like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber that's the verse and it rejoices like a mighty man running its course of course the bridegroom is extremely happy as he leaves the khupa or the the khara yukhud now this is all based in deuteronomy chapter 32 verse 1 where it says just listen to the whole verse listen no heaven as if god is talking to the heavens i will speak listen to me i'm going to speak the heavens and let the earth hear the words of my mouth so the earth should also listen so we're talking about the heavens and the earth hashem cree the creator of all put into motion certain charac certain character traits the earth and that the sea is included and the heavens he says like this as we just said about the heavens look at the heavens and you'll see the joy in fact the concept of orbits is dissimilar to the way the jewish people dance we dance in circles a mahula that's horror right muchullah means that we're going to dance in joy as we go around in circles like the orbits and then he says listen look at the earth that i've created for your use that i have placed in it also these medo these character traits these these um these behavior patterns and they don't change what you're going to seed right and it's not going to grow of course it grows or maybe you'll seed wheat and what's going to happen you think that the barley is going to arise no whatever you plant is what you're going to get or maybe you'll say to the cow the cow will say back no i'm not going to eat it you're just giving me grass this is not what i'm in the appetite for no of course he's going to eat whatever you put in front of him what he's going to not plow you put the plow on him you make him go he's going to plow or maybe the donkey but he's not going to take the load of course that's what he's built for or he's not going to go when you need him to go he'll go now that's all true by these objects well guess well some of them are adamant some of them are inanimate right but so too when it comes to the yam the sea the sea so it says in jeremiah chapter 5 verse 22. i actually have it here number three on the sworship right will you not fear me says the lord will you not quake before me for i made sand a boundary for the sea an everlasting ordinance which it cannot pass and its waves tossed themselves yet they cannot prevail it's so interesting the hebrew is so beautiful it's a ash right i place the sand as a border a border means that you cannot cross it it's a hokulam it's an everlasting ordinance valiant varanahu right they cannot pass by now they try the yit gashu velo yahulu but they're not able to and it's a very interesting rashi does not the deceit which is not concerned about retribution and doesn't look forward to receiving where these are inanimate objects and there's no reward or punishment for them yet they fear god and they don't cross the boundary this is but you jew or non-jew truth be told right there's seven laws for the benef that the this is what god put into the world and you should not transgress them either okay so that is the the verse i just read we were in i'm not mistaken the uh zina yokota new 942 halfway down so basically what this means is that from the time that i hashem created and decreed that they inanimate objects should not change and right and what am i going to do that's hashem raise up and flood the earth whenever i want so there's an idea here in job 38 and job it says over there regarding the sea you'll see all the verses talking about the sea and it broke for my front right from my prescribed limit and placed a bar in its doors and read verse and he said until here you may come but no further it's referring to the waves of the sea as the converse continues and where your strength shall place your waves with pride so you see that hashem makes makes a border so basically not any further not anymore and not only that the actual ways are in pain watch the waves they want to cross over and they retreat backwards that's a meda of fear the aim yoho er it's not able to so as we read in the rest of jeremiah chapter 5 verse 22. so this is all we're going to call khal of the homer a logical conclusion if that's true by inanimate objects or we did speak about animate objects such as the cow and the hamur and the donkey but you know what they're not that concerned about any kind of reward or punishment some of the inanimate objects there's nothing to lose there's nothing to gain there's no reward and there's no punishment for their sin or punishment for not following and they're not even concerned about their children or any future progeny and yet they don't change god put into motion so too you you human being should also be cognizant you will you who do merit and receive reward if you do the right thing and you receive punishment if you do the wrong thing and you human you are concerned about your children in the future so how much more so do you need to not change the behavior of what god set the boundaries he tells you what is permissible and what is forbidden and you must follow god's rules okay so go back into the clear car and based on all this mikan rai from here you have a proof shame eno meshanan mida tomiyera this is all based on fear they don't change their character traits based on fear sri mitsta al-assad they know shy they actually are pained by trying and making the effort but they're not able to hashem made sure that's true by the the earth and the sea that's from fear whereas the heavens they're not changing from a different aspect that's because of love and joy as it said in the medrash elisha they're actually happy to do it and i describe it i'll just make sure we have it clear that the way the waves work in the sea is they to cross the border but they're afraid to and they even retreat even though they're making every effort to come over the border of the sand they retreat backwards what about this the stars and the orbits they're all going in circles with simbra and with ava and they're doing hashem's will in that perspective so too the whole concept of the tacheilas of that particular color of string ghazal tell us 43b and i have in front of me but we'll basically stick to what it says here that the helis is domiliam that this particular color is similar to the color of the sea and the yam is domalurakia meaning the color of the sea is similar to the color of the sky or the heavens virakiyas dominic now actually at this point i do want to refer to a few verses in the gemara and i think it's very important that we're familiar with these ideas that again the color of the taheilis is similar to the color of the sea so we're going to go through four stages the trails itself similar to the sea the sea is similar to the rakia which is the heavens the heavens is similar to the color of god's kisa covered whatever that means now let's refer to two verses you'll find the first in exodus 24 10 where it says by the jewish people and harsinai they saw the god of israel you want to see the god of israel and there was under his feet like a the like of a paved work of sapphire stone now that's the sapphire stone is the color of the kisikovo although it doesn't say that in this verse other than the fact that there was this color that was underneath his feet like the ver and the like of the very heaven of clearness or purity so there is you might think it's talking about the color of the throne but the more itself brings another verse from ezekiel chapter 1 verse 26 which hits at home in case you're in any doubt it says and above the expense expense that was over their heads so we're already talking about the heavens though like the appearance of a sapphire stone was the likeness of a throne so there you have it kamare evan on the likeness of the throne dot dot dot we're not going to go through the whole verse here but in the hebrew the appearance of a sapphire stone was the likeness of the throne itself okay so this is a very important um foundation to understand the clear car says the the way to understand this there's no doubt that the savoy maelu that all the colors are gradations let's call it a greenish blue or hue that is similar to the next similar to the next similar to the next they're all similar to each other so the first one is not at all i should say at all but it's it's not that similar to the last but when you line them all up there is one that is similar to the next similar to the next key list right that the the tachylis the blue thread is not similar to the third stat which is the the heavens evo but they are similar to the one next to them in the gradation each one is deeper or intense than the previous one and this essay sums up the whole concept by saying what is it regarding the idea of looking at this particular thread the the bluish green thread listen yes there that it will cause you to remember through this or the mrs hashem call mrs hashem veloyet say min hamidah affilo kim alone and that you should not change you shall not depart from the character trait from the behavior even a thread's worth a the thickness of a thread the measure not even a a little bit elefisha to hailes but since that particular color of the thread is similar to the sea the aids is and that through looking at this particular thread yes it'll remind you of the sea hadoinma lobitsivo that's similar to it in color we're talking about god consciousness ultimately how do we get there right that it will be similar as if the c the color of the c is in front of you at all times now are we only talking about the color or we're talking about the behavior we'll see we are talking about the color at this moment but we're talking about the c and the way it behaves as well said then it says that you will come to contemplate the behavior of the sea which we described not only are you gonna not only are you gonna think about the behavior of the sea that it acts out of fear and retracts back which is something that you should have but that it doesn't change even one iota um and from it you will come to fear just keep in mind the word fear and the word see not as in s-e-a the yam but is in fear as in you will the same word for fears and you will see year end that you will come to see so too you will behave and through the kirbala measures remember how the bala measures in the yokutshimoni made a logical conclusion if that's true by the inanimate objects we'll include the cow and the hamur also but that they don't change so therefore his tackle beyond look at the way the sea acts look now where do we get the word look from his taco is the same language of as seats so we did mention her and i just want to make sure it's clear that the rashi mentioned there were two interpretations so if we go now to songs chapter song of songs chapter two verse nine which is number five on this on the um sword sheep my beloved resembles a gazelle or a fawn of the hinds behold he's standing behind our wall looking from the windows peering from the lattices this is a song of love it's a love song and the person singing it is love sick and his mates eats min looking from between the lattices searching for the beloved okay so the word made seats is directly related seats okay and that's how the clear car brings it to this point where he says she who nigs army lushon it's actually derived the word sitsis is a derivation from this verse in song of songs chapter two verse nine mate sits meaning to say she amazing that one should look at the sea one should glance at the sea shane and michonne and midato it doesn't change its character trait not just the color kahu lo yeshan and vicava homer so too you should not change they if the sea which is in adam it doesn't change you also should not change and that's all true when it comes to the sea and to have fear meaning that if you would transgress even one of the mitzvahs of god harey who yost him in amida that you are removing yourself from the character trait i share medadlo hashem which hashem has granted you meaning to say ah potavo velo tosif don't add and don't subtract right god uh gave you these boundaries or what is permissible and what is forbidden do not change era but the only thing we can learn from the sea is serving god from fear now i i mentioned earlier this is not the highest this is not the highest level sri amar beyond we said regarding the sea villa right the the author of the measure says not only this but it even wanted to it was pained to do to cross over the border but couldn't do so it withdraws back to itself like the verse we said in jeremiah 5 222 i want you to know the word tiro oo means fear but it's also related to see is it not that you see is it not that you fear i'm the one that plays correct s-e-e not s-e-a right but but now now the the second part of the verse which i have placed the sand as the border of the sea sca shmamina what do we hear from this that minhyum that from the sea itself ain't little mode kimaera the only thing we do learn is fear meaning that character trait of fear now the gamora actually asked or the medrush even asked moshe is that really such a small thing regarding moses or anybody who's similar to him the truth is this is not the best we have even higher than that that does not complete a man you need ahava you need love you say the truth is like this that anyone who performs their service to god out of love and they serve hashem with sempra with joy this is greater a higher level than serving hashem out of fear and not only that you will actually receive more benefits in this world if you serve hashem out of love then if you serve him out of fear we believe that the main the icar the principle the caring of our reward is waiting for us in the world to come so if you serve hashem out of fear you will get your reward in the world to come but if you serve him out of love there's some benefits there's some fruits i don't like the word crumbs but there are certain fruits and crumbs that you will receive and benefit from them now in this world so he quotes this idea the person will actually derive benefit from his efforts that he works through in torah misses as it says in khazal in gemara brachos actually i do have it here gomorrah brochus 8a number six just to keep this idea in mind says rabbi barami in the name of ullah one who benefits from his hard labor is greater than a god-fearing person think about it hard labor we're talking about the the simpha the love the efforts that one does which is usually because of love so basically with regard to someone who's got fearing happy is the man who who fears the lord you see this in psalms 1 12 1. so in hebrew it's a ashrae if you fear hashem you're considered happy or praiseworthy but when you work hard and you do things out of love so you'll see in psalms 128 verse 2 by the labor of your hands you will live you are happy and it is good for you not only are you praiseworthy the ashrae part the ashreichra but it's also tovlach tovlach is an additional uh benefit which has to do uh with the world to come and in this world as that gamora concludes that you are happy in this world and is good for you in the world to come regarding a god-fearing person it's only part of the way it may be good for you but i'm sorry and the idea that it's good for you is not written about that person okay so it means both as you'll see in roshi on that verse the toil of your hands he who benefits from the toil of his hands inherits two worlds so if you that's a higher level right not just receiving the fruits in this world but also receiving the fruits in the world to come receiving both if you do it now we're about to turn the page um he quotes this kumara brachos anybody that performs service of god out of joy and love his name is that means that he will actually receive the pleasure from the actual effort itself i'll give you a few examples the more money we spend on mitzvahs we actually get reward in this world for that we get pleasure from that the more effort we make you walk further away or it takes a lot more energy to do a certain mitzvah you get more reward there's 26 examples brought down by rabbi gladstein for how to receive the fruits the pleasure for the mixes in this world aval turned the page hayra hi y'all ray but one who does it out of fear ain't he's not going to get the same pleasure in this world from the action that he does and that's why it says the yam is doing going back to the original idea that the sea is similar not just in color but in character trait to the the heavens that through remembering constantly the behavior of the sea we said it would be similar as if the sea is constantly in front of your eyes then as a natural result it's going to result in the idea that it's going to be as if you're constantly looking at the sky kiyam domino because anyway the sea is similar to the sky um at least from the yam you'll come to fear and so you will do but when it comes to the rakia mariki ainum mishana midato that the the skies they don't change either but we said they're very happy to do what they're doing the lord elisha they're actually joyful they're they're doing it out of love and joy and happiness so too the person who serves hashem also from sempra and joy you follow the the um the linea the line here for the sea is yira that's a lower level hopefully it'll bring you to the next level it should progress to that where you will then serve hashem out of joy and happiness if the proper servant of god would say nu mayi what benefit really is there to serve hashem from love than to serve hashem out of fear al zamar that's why one would say required the truth is that the the heavens are similar remember not just in color but in behavior somehow to the ki say cover the al very important we're talking about god consciousness here that through that through looking at the rakia and then it's reminding you of the actual throne of glory that this will bring you to remember the love that you have in coming close to hashem the the vagus hashina and what is it about the shrine it's the malcolm shama it's the very place or source from where our neshamot where our souls were hewn from meaning chopped out of carved from however you want to express it obviously the it we're not really separate from the shrina but that's the source let's just say the shrine itself is the source of the soul kiko anybody who has fear or feels threatened what do they do means that what they normally do they're healthy minded people they will distance themselves from that which is intimidating them where they're afraid of whereas the only they've the person who is in love he's mishtad el tamid he makes every effort the lover makes every effort constantly to cling to that which he loves he wants to come closer and closer alkane therefore when it comes to the reward and the reward is coming to him it's going to come out that the love itself is the essence of the success the love that you feel in the relationship with hashem is the measure of success but he says it's the talk lead and i'm almost jumping down because the concept of tacheilas which is the color of that string is highly related to the word tachlit which means goal end zone purpose you're going to come to the ultimate in god consciousness that through it your merit to cling to hashem himself through the kisakawa day she got seats remember the word seats is related to seeing that it's the cetus itself the the strings themselves the braves themselves but here he's using it in terms of seeing the esta kel barakia by looking at the sky yanis carla kise kavod it'll bring you to a consciousness a cognizance a remembrance of the kisa covered which really is referring to the shrine of hashem himself even it's relating to the similarities of colors but i just want to make sure we understand yes the colors are gradations but so are the medoc so are the midato the character traits they lead into the other they don't you're not supposed to cross over they're all similar in that fashion and therefore you're going to come to a intimate relationship with hashem now this is really interesting because we probably never noticed when it says in verse 38 vasulum and they shall make for themselves sitsis and in 39 it says it will be for you tsitsis there's a difference we call second person and third person and second person and third person is going to be the difference between nigla and this star negla means revealed i mean because you're right in front of me i can use second person you nistar means hidden that's third person because you're not in front of me i'm talking about you so let's begin this last paragraph since there is here a hint of khan remedy we talked about the reward that you'll get in the world to come or the reward one would receive even here so the word is referring to the reward the the open and revealed reward you would get in this world because of the merit of yirah through era through fear alone whereas the skarnistar the hidden reward which is hidden for what for the world to come that's good ava that's coming in the merit of what we call love commotion just as we explain that you get the reward according to the efforts according to the benefit of your efforts how praiseworthy you are in the world to come and how good it is for you the world to come we spoke about that verse in psalms al-qaeda partial zoo now he's explaining in our parsha that's exactly why it says in verse 38 amen to them but then in verse 39 it says which means to use like it's um no it's a language of present tense we're called second person present tense and it's revealed and so the clear car ends by saying this is a parish you car however he adds another statement this is exactly why there are going to be eight strings and five knots because eight and three is thirteen sacha kosha and the truth is the word ahava love is this gematria of 13. so this is like the ultimate level one should get on to it's to remind you at the bottom of the tittis that you have eight strings five knots it's all about it's all about love now hedera hashini who uses this expression other hasidic masters do as well that the mitzvahs are our clothing these are our clothing shanam are now in ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 8 at all times let your garments be white and let oil not be wanting on your head in the hebrew because you began the idea that your remember if the goddamn the clothing are your mistress let them be pure let them right let them be pure now there's a difference between different kinds of garments think about a regular garment okay i'm wearing thank god we're all wearing clothes kistan begin it's woven through many many uh threads right there you go you got threads on so thank god we're wearing threads right it's woven through many but when it comes one thread is not enough to cover my body and it's not enough not enough cover anybody's body one thread of a malbucho that's all in the physical world but what about the spiritual world when it comes to the clothing for your soul anal king doesn't work like that one is going to be enough this is going to flip you out the way we think of sinners and people we have many jews who are not shomar shabbat who are not shyamakashrut who don't keep certain mitzvahs right even ourselves we're not perfect right when it comes to the mabush of the neshama it doesn't work like that rather ella echad all you need is one hoot shi kade luxuta that's enough to cover your soul now i want to mention what i think he means is doing one properly super properly right but let's hear what he used to say like it's brought in the medrash i'm sorry like rabbi yochanan darshan down the second sanhedrin now this is a very interesting gemara we will read this with regard to a particular verse in the isaiah chapter 5 verse 14. let me just read it all together therefore it's number 10 the netherworld we're let's call hell let's call gehennam let's call that place none of us wants to go to has expanded itself and opened its mouth without measure meaning it opened very wide her splendor and her populace and multitudes shall descend and those who rejoice therein okay look at rashi right retribution corresponding to deed they extended themselves expanded themselves to swallow okay that's the idea here that this is like the netherworld okay oh in hebrew okay it's it's not a good place let's just say and it's bli hook live lee hoke liv lihok means without measure that's how we're reading it wait till you hear what the gomorrah has to say go back to the gemara ray schlucker says it's referring to one who leaves even one statute unfulfilled meaning the netherworld will expand for him if he leaves one unfulfilled now what you think that means means that they weren't perfect not necessarily rabbi yochanan says it's not satisfactory to god their master that you said about them as according to ray schlocker's opinion most of the jewish people would end up in ghana what if you're not perfect you have to be perfect rather this is what it means and even if one learned only one statute that person has a share in the world to come because liv li hok means the one who has no statutes liv lihok without any hulk in other words the gehenna will only open to somebody who has zero but if you have one you're not going to end up in gehenna that's how to read it let's go back into the clear car le mesha lo shad this idea that the gehennam will be open le michelo sharma phil that's only if you didn't keep one which means if you kept one that's enough to save you from gehenna dawah remember talking about the soul here so the reason for the matter is lethia brit kuruta this idea that we have a covenant with hashem and within the covenant as it says in persia vos chapter 4 a mishna 2 that one mitzvah drags another mitzvah meets the goraret mitzvah so what does that mean that if i do one mitzvah it's dragging along it's pulling along all the other mitzvahs or another mitzvah yes way too human is to say the imcain all that i need to do is perform one mitzvah as soon as i perform one mitzvah what happens how you call a mitsubishi all the other mitzvahs are in potential that's what is power i'm initiating the power i'm opening the power the potential of all the other missiles just by performing just as every jewish soul is intertwined so to every mitzvah is intertwined and every letter in the torah is intertwined without one letter the whole torah is not good without one jew we're missing everything a whole universe okay so every mitzvah that we do digs deep into the power into the and the potential of all the other mitzvahs that's what it means miss the gorare mitzvah that the mitzvah drags poles all the other mitses even if you didn't perform the other six hundred twelve mitzvahs mikhail mikoma dava schumacher nevertheless it's been activated on a spiritual level it's doing the killua and it's as if you did it and now we understand when chabad gets somebody to light candles or to put on to fill it all they're doing is one mitzvah don't belittle that that one mitzvah could ignite and bring the person to a higher level with all the other misses i still hold that learning torah is the biggest and i would say let's get people learning but nevertheless let's get people doing at least one mitzvah and you'll see the the uh the results will be fascinating the clear car says this is the secret this is the foundation of that one blue string shot hamas called mrs hashem they cause us to remember it causes us to remember all the mixes of god you know that through that one beggar shalem or maybe even doing that one mitzvah that all you have to do is remember one mitzvah i mean all you have to do is perform one mitzvah or the tahers itself will cause you to remember all the misses through this you will end up having for the shama because of that one mitzvah one that is a whole garment for the soul the ana nikba arum so you will not be buried naked god forbid at least you have for your neshama a whole baguette a whole garment just think back adam the first man how many mitzvahs was he given and how many did he violate he only had one mitzvah and unfortunately he stripped he was stripped bare shark mitzvah used to be he only had one mitzvah then our tale me menu and it was strip air from him because he didn't fulfill it the yeshod mitzvah now there is one more mitzvah another mitzvah similar to the the titus that what it's mascara that called mitzvos there's one more mitzvah that does what that recalls all the other misses and i would say at this point drum roll please because that mitzvah is after the reach we can divide the mixes into many different categories right but there's one way i want to divide them mrs bain adam and mrs ben adam when it says and you shall love your friend as yourself it says could be and is determined to be your fellow human being no question but he's that fellow human being is not your only reach even hashem is called reicha and therefore you should love hashem your god so if you can fulfill that mitzvah in its fullness meaning loving god and loving your fellow human being this as uh we know that um rebecca says this is the overarch overreaching uh i have it here rashi says rabbi kiva says this is a fundamental all-inclusive principle of the torah right it's a claude that you'll find on rash on page four number 12. and also base shaman base hillel confronted a a potential convert and hillel is the one that says in different words right love your name review as yourself don't do unto others as you wouldn't want done to yourself the rest is commentary meaning all the rest is commentary to the that's basically what he's saying so the answer is yes all the torah is let's say a sub-category of that one mitzvah and therefore that could the clear car conclude zim cain if that's true there's just that one string yahoo la that that one thread whether you know it's the mids the thread one mitzvah is considered a thread the the blue string is considered a thread just through one string it's able to bring a person to his purpose to his goal taklet kahora at lashon to us just as the language tacheilas instructs tacheilas is what we call that string that color and it also means takless man it means the purpose this is the fundamental secret of the torah so i wish and pray that we can all continue to learn torah and to develop deepen our understanding through god's wisdom how to treat our fellow human being and how much god loves us and how much god wants that relationship with us and how we could develop into our mitzvahs and i just want to you know wish everyone a lot of hats in that endeavor and um i want to wish everyone shabbat shalom and a great life now oh there's next two weeks we're not going to have she were broke hashem my son yaakov vinod
