Rabbi Yechiel Perr zt"l on Shavuos

begins [Music] chapter the third month after CL went out of about six weeks after and the third month it was then it says every D I've said many times is closer to theat answers a question in theat more than theat does so the question that that is in the is it should say by who what say on this day to you as if they were given today so therefore it should be there's a few questions here one question is they either are or they're not how can you say to a person he command them to be either you see it as Kim or you don't see how can you make it Kim another question the other question is that why is this the place where we're told that theor should be this seems to be to be before we even talk about before the T even tells us about tells us why is here the place for such a Dr and what does mean so one point we can say about K is that there's a special that it's always remember many years ago I lived in burough Park and I in and I saw babab by fellows who were highly who were professionals the two people I happen to see were both of them lawyers and between they were talking about in in the M of Y which was being read and I thought to myself how interesting that these Fells learned is y and the brothers they learned from the childhood in Yesa they've heard so many times here they are 40 year olds and they're still seeing and they just thinking in it there's nothing equal to that in the whole intellectual world is possible to find remember certain occasion bumping to uh went to had a meeting with was had a meeting with some others came in early to the meeting and he was there alone and he said to me what are you learning I said he said what is the so I left because you know it's like the one of the first questions that you ask when learn the m and at that time was not a youngster and he was still asking the same question obviously the same question has a certain kind of freshness to it tor has a unbelievable of freshness that's one thing and also it's m i to R this year I saw it again when new eyes with new questions with new some you find in and some you find inside yourself in your eyes in your own of course in order to see and you have to know that there is KES there I heard from my S I think I've told you a number of times the r said that when you come across a strange it's hard to accept it intellectually he said if you first think to yourself that everything everything it says Kem you'll be able to understand it you'll find a way of understanding it [Music] that of knowing that everything it says in is that opens up to that you begin to understand it in such a way that you'll see it in the same way if you approach the ver and you say to yourself ah it's the old stuff you're not going to get anything out of it if you were to say to yourself is then you're going to see it's going to be new either that you have the kind that you write down and you print or a freshness to it we going to read sedra midbar numbers and numbers there's all kinds of K in the numbers but beside that the whole idea of counting it what was it about and why is it recorded like that this the kind of question you don't ask till much till years later there a certain freshness to that question because it requires an answer that you didn't realize requ it required what is TS telling us with these numbers why was this that this why is this written way back on the first day of their coming to Hari before it talks anything about T at all because it's talking about the Gish this is the place where it talks about the gisha before you get to the tah the approach the T the attitude to the attitude is that it's we say theim and G what isim and Gish is the stimulation to your brain that comes from and the his spilus that you have that look in this old and only in this it has has such K that it tantalizes my mind or that it has a freshness despite the fact that I've learned it so many times it's fresh I'm not going to be able to learn through all the treasures that there are in this chapter but I do want to on a couple of things a little bit further down so it says that said to I'm going to come to you in a thick Cloud so that the people should hear but I'm coming to you so that the people should hear that I'm speaking to you and they're going they're not obviously they're not going to hear the words itself or be able to figure out the words because then they might be speaking to them but they will hear but they'll hear that I'm talking to you they'll hear that there are words but won't be able to comprehend the words for some reason and they're going to have Believe In You Forever find that had said it I wouldn't accept it but it doesn't say said it itself so first of all the comes the buram comes the buram lives in a Darkness theim the mishon was absolutely dark pitch dark that tells us that we can't really understand how much we want to see we can't really see how much a person wants to see it's hidden you have to know it's hidden there's only a certain amount that reveals to us and when he comes to speak to mha and the plan originally was it seems that the plan originally was said I'm going to come to you you'll probably on the mountain I imagine does it say that I'll come to you there'll be a thick cloud I'm going to come to you the came to him like the comes in different places came to I'm going to come to you on in a thick Cloud there's going to be a thick Cloud coming down and they're going to hear me speaking to you and they're going to believe in you forever because once they hear those they hear me speaking so they and their children and thousands of years later in farak New York they're going to believe it thousands of years later they're going to believe it in farco New York almost 4,000 years later that you received the Torah but the P againsts by saying [Music] that M told the words of the people to Hashem so what does that mean so says I had a CH I heard an answer that relates to this from them you're going to come and tell me from an A they're going to see that you can't see him that you're a mystery that you're hidden but at the same time you speak and they're going to hear you speak to me and they won't understand you're not going to be speaking to them that they can overhear but they're going to hear that you're speaking but I have a I have an answer a response to this I heard from them what was it I heard they want to hear it from you you can't compare listening hearing something from the mouth of aah to hearing from the mouth of the king and that's very very interesting and then rash continuing he says we wish to see our King so what happens because it this so because of this it says if so that they require me to speak with them go to them them prepare them and for the three days and then I will because I'm I'm going to be in the Scala to them so they have to they have to prepare themselves they have to go to Mikvah I'll and make three days of which were not necessary originally and it'll come out that they're going to hear me speak to them now why was it that they didn't want to hear from Misha or they' said we have a Chu on this we don't want to hear from you we want to hear from the M what is it why a person wants to hear from a m so I remember when I was younger I had the the phone number of rash Feinstein the rabbitson gave it to me if I have shus I should call directly to him Oregon 71222 I still remembered Bal I don't think it works anymore he's not here and I used to call him as M got older s Reon said to me she pick up the phone and she would say callid callid she wanted to save her husband the of answering the questions who say call I don't want to call I want to speak TOA I think everybody understands that I SW to ABD many many times since her merch was gone an interesting thing happened a couple of days ago had a and I called is already not a youngster and he has a secretary his name is of Ginsburg so he ask of Ginsburg and he goes and he asks when he comes back he calls you back he comes back to the phone it's not the same as asking but at least it happens right away what happened on l b is said I know the answer to that I've been asked this 40 times already here the answer is I was very stressed from that I didn't hear it from rdid not only that but he didn't go to ask rovid immediately and come back and say well this and this he said I heard it 50 times I know the answer he said 40 times nevertheless I was maab because I know he's reliable and for the same reason and I'm a little older and I realize he can't get a hold of Rd Fein so EAS anymore so I heard what he had to say and I listened to his answer people ask me if I heard a certain thing Froman actually the from the sound of his mouth to my ears it didn't actually come but I was standing there when somebody asked him the question for me and I was standing a little bit D's back a little bit so I say I heard it from him it's not really that I heard exactly the sound waves didn't come from his mouth to my ear but it was m on the spot is asked ask him for he asked him M I saw him ask him I heard him ask him and he answered him something I didn't pick up exactly the sound waves but I say I heard it from him I did really but not really what is it unique about the need to hear from the person why do you want to hear from mha if he's alive instead of or you want to hear from instead of from Ral Ginsburg what is it beside the words there's a CER there's a CER that's made and cl wanted when it says did not just want even though they said whatever he says will do and even call except for was and we keep it but that wasn't the issue and because of this small issue which is really so gigantic for that we have the whole M cuz it wouldn't have been such a m i don't know what it would have been otherwise but had it been the way theam has said to m is going to be it should be so then it would have been will talk to mha and they will see M they will hear M they hear something taking place they hear conversations taking place that would be the extent of it but the mindar would not have occurred as we understand it what is it that made that mammad har it was the B of going beyond the words not just beyond the the is a is a to the even though the words are exactly the same and for all intents and purposes it would have worked the same way for every purpose it would have worked the same way but it would not contain that special order that comes when you hear fromin himself when you hear from himself we hear from F himself there's a certain kind of an o and a CER and the words are the same exactly the same trustworthy people are giving it over are conveying it but there is something in the words heard from the person that are unique and special and that are not that you hear from and the same thing is hearing from the and then they said more than that we want to see him want to connect to him we want to see him words contain much more than the words and T contains this because if we say that the words of T in the of the T were from himself because they wanted this special connection the special or there's no other way of describing it there's a hidden or to come out from the words so then words of T which have in them all the time are really an extension of this that different have much more meaning to them than just the words and they're full of is an extension of the fact that the that clel reached to hear more than words in the words they reached to hear the Bam's voice in the words that's an extension of that is that D forever will remain with that K that it contains much more than the words more than what I have read before you is written here the K there much more than the words in the words I heard once from a FR he said he knows nothing but he said when I look at a sa and I realize the power those words have had over Generations the power of them the power think to yourself what is Amis Amel is unique it's Immortal and what is its immortality from from being the bearers of Tyra the power of those words spoken written thousands of years ago it still shakes us and moves us and makes us I don't know if I've been able to express the Kish and the spilus that I feel in these words that I'm speaking to you I know been able to ignite in you the feeling that I have about it the UR that I see in these words there's a very interesting HZ Rashi brings it the Bri says it comes to Shas it comes to says the sixth day so everything that was created was waiting at yishi they waited and they waited the World waited for y they depended on Y which is the sixth day of s there different of the same basically the same thing so the Bri is waiting in the Bria is waiting and Depends for its existence on cab but the casha is that that wasn't the day that was supposed to be Cabra it was supposed to be 3 days ear earlier it was only 3 days later because they said with Lano you see that the essence of Tyra which is melt because of T that the world is created and the world that essence of depends on with having that should contain malano the ter should be words that are beyond words there should be an A in the tah it's only if is a Bish from the people to want the Torah and is there Bish to see this in the Torah that's when the world stands on it and this it says in the when a b a child grows up a little girl grows up we say she should live and little boy WR his candle should give light because he is and when he takes inside himself this T which are words that have that have light coming out of them he becomes it becomes part of him and light comes out of him a good [Music]
