Okay, good afternoon everyone. We have actually a very short shirt today because I have to catch a flight to but I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye. So I want to share with you five short on from the first one. You should destroy their names of don't do this for Hashem your God only the place that Hashem has selected that implies don't destroy don't um destroy a descript How do you understand the simple reading of the flow of the he brings the of theim and it's quoted by the that yes in the mikdash you do erase the name of hem how for by the you erase the name of hem so it says or destroy the name of of destroy the name of a dese where in the mikdash in the mikdash. Yeah. For the okay that's the first number two asser to take tithes give 10%. This comes from rabaka the of Frankfurt shilus of rapaport. He brings take the word taser has a numerical value of 970 and take mser off that word taser is 970 10% of 970 is 97 maz you're masal this is a re that by giving sodaka by giving uh mser you become wealthy take the word 970 asser take messer from it. Take 10% of 97. That's that's 97. Okay. We now come to the be careful lest there be something in your heart without a yoke. The inabash says this is talking about somebody who doesn't give sudaka. Someone who hides his eye from saddaka. It's as if he's what's the explanation why not giving is like idolatry in the is published he says like this let us make man who's God talking to so say there's a medish hashem is speaking to the he's saying let's make man hashem says I'll make man and you support him. So the nasa is going on the partnership of God and the wealthy man. But if the wealthy man doesn't want to give taka and he's destroying that partnership then the only way to interpret is that heaven forbid there are two powers that's so failure to give sudaka brings to a des because the true interpretation of is the partnership of God and the but if the usher doesn't want to partake of that partnership he doesn't want to honor that partnership then people will mistakenly think the interpretation is that there are two gods and fine. Now we come to you should surely give. What do you mean you should surely give? Why double says based on the he would send to an 400 kipper. One time he sent the money with his son. His son said the doesn't need it. Maruka said why not? He says look he's pouring old wine. He's very wealthy. Maruka said ah he's such a mafun. I need to send him more. So from here we see that the you theer is not the arbittor. He's not the judge on what the needs. Sometimes someone is used to a certain standard. So if they're used to a certain standard, you should you should supply that standard. Therefore implies keep on giving. If you know he needs more, give him again. Even if he doesn't really need more, but he's accustomed to more. The double indicates that sometimes you give again not necessarily because he needs but because that's what he's accustomed to. And finally by the yumpt of it says and by sukus it says why by does it say and why by sukus does it says the mashma. on the are scattered in the fields to gather. So it says because they're among you. They're among you but on sukis they're not in the fields anymore. So now they're back in the city. Their bisha the amazing observation of the mesh bezos hashem coming up in the beginning of is the 100th yard site of rail of what an amazing observation incredible that by the of it says because they're in the field they're amongst you but by the of sukus they're back in the city they're in the gate it says okay these are five short tora paras Number one, don't destroy the name of hem only in the mikdash interprets it. It's referring to the the word is indicating that your masel will improve by giving sodaka. the the brings in the that the reason why not giving sodaka is considered like is because you're causing uh people to misinterpret not that it's referring to two the double of is even if you see that he has what he needs but he doesn't have what he's accustomed to and's observation why by it says and by sukus it says I'm Sorry I have to cut out short today. Um I want to wish everybody well Isaac I need your number. I need your number. >> Recording stopped.
