It's from many going to report this. What's striking about Yiddishkeit? A lot's striking about Yiddishkeit, but what hits a guy watching this a Yid how connected to day to to day-to-day life Torah is. The Torah in Shas Akiva balls of gave a share to Shabbos that had to buy ice cream and he's describing his biking trip and he wants ice cream and there's laws of kashrus, what he's looking for. And the Torah, the way service of Hashem and the Torah guides and directs day-to-day life. The Hainu we connect to Hashem through our life in living in this world. There are a lot of Eastern religions that the whole religion is move away from this world. >> Ouch. A Yid, the highest Yid is married, has a wife, has a family, has a has children, is very integrated into this world in very worldly places. And it's the striking part of Torah and mitzvahs that the world, even one who learns Torah and reads Torah, the Torah describes our greats, the Avos, the starters of our people quite active in this world to the point that Moshe Rabbeinu separating from his wife is a whole story of lashon hara. Miriam Aaron and Kayin, they say lashon hara on Moshe Rabbeinu. What's what's the lashon hara? That's not how it works, the connection to Hashem. >> rub. That was beautiful. And that's like a chiddush, Moshe like to connect Hashem, you separate from your wife? Service of Hashem is precisely very integrated into this world. Rachamim, I'm in the middle of my shiur, can I call back? I don't think it's going to be fast. It will cost me a lot of money. Thanks a million. I just that was a demonstration integrated into life tires. >> [applause] >> What's happening? Like planned, I told my wife that like 2:38 like call up like hit The kids say at Vayamos Tire. >> [applause] >> I guess They never stop, right? They love it. The kids at Vayamos is the service of Hashem and anybody studies safe abrasions the greats are busy Avraham Avinu is very involved in the world. He's fighting a war. He's traveling with his wife. It's incredibly integrated into this world. The greats Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, the story of their lives is people living here. Parnassa Yaakov Avinu working, it's the story of the Torah. Yaakov was busy. Yaakov Avinu you got right. Yaakov Avinu Yaakov Avinu was busy working for He's working for his father-in-law. The Torah is so the greats Yaakov Avinu be here or always who's the who's like who's face is on the kiss the covered, he's working now I'm not pretending. Yaakov Avinu's mind is completely dove with Hashem. But it's through this world interacting with this world highly engaged in this world. This is the striking part of Torah and mitzvahs that the service of Hashem is specifically very very involved in this world. It's not detached from this world. I've said over this story before here that there's a there's a lady a harsh of a lady who was who was a searcher for Hashem. For 15 years she lived nearby here and and she lived in a forest in Massachusetts for 15 years searching for God. She eventually finds the She was a Yid. She became from. She was in her upper 30s and she started She had Torah mitzvahs and she and she got married to a from Yid. Now, this is a lady who was waking up early in the morning, extremely early and and praying a lot of the day. She was serving Hashem very hard and it was very hard for her to have children. Children, I'm going to serve meals, clean up. I'm like detached from this world. She meant very ends. Hers, she was intense on serving God but very detached. All of a sudden to have children, I'm going to be playing around and running with them and cleaning diapers. She couldn't picture it. She went to speak to the Amshinov Rebbe to like talk to him that maybe I shouldn't have kids. Maybe with somebody like me, I shouldn't have kids. The Amshinov Rebbe whose day is what? The Amshinov Rebbe who's quite detached from this world. I mean, the Amshinov Rebbe I don't think he sleeps more than a half hour to shot ever. I think he sleeps 2 hours a day. He's a Yid. His sleep is very limited. He's He's He's a parish from this world. So, she went to the Amshinov. He would understand her want to detach from this world. She got an appointment with him at like 2 or 3 in the morning. She happens to be close to the Amshinov Rebetzin and she gets into the Amshinov like 2 3 in the morning. Now, people have interactions with tzadikim that are profound. He's a Yid who sees a lot. He sees things that that most people don't see. Like the Chazon Lublin is called the seer. The Amshinov Rebbe, people I know who've interacted with him, he seems to be aware Seid Hashem l'reiv. Say he's a close to Hashem and it says Hashem shares secrets to those close to him. Seid Ashamuel, he seems to see a lot. She comes in to him. You know this story, Harry? She comes in to him 2:00 3:00 in the morning to meet with him to talk maybe she shouldn't have kids, that she shouldn't be part of this world. Now, I'm not saying you that me and you would relate to this. People have interactions with Sadiqim and the Sadiq understands the person in front of them. This person comes in to the Sadiq 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning this late this this Isha Hashiva. And she walks into Ashamuel maybe I shouldn't have kids. Like maybe I shouldn't And she for big reasons she walks into the Ashamuel of a Rebbe and he has a grandchild on his lap and he's playing with the grandchild when she walks in. And somehow watching him interact with the grandchild, he says, "No, you can ask questions." I have no questions. She left and had two children. It was somehow and again you could ask he didn't say anything. She saw something. She was watching the Ashamuel of a Rebbe literally play. Something hit her about the magnitude of involvement and the the person she sees as the God of the earth. And here he was like engaged in a way of kindness. Something hit her, I want to have children. That the path to Asham is not detachment from this world, it's precisely in this world. Anybody who studies Torah, it's to me it's what sticks out in the Torah. That service so much of the mitzvahs involved loyalty to Asham in business, honesty in business. Dealing with dealing with sincerity and so much of the Torah is specifically engaged. There's a There's a There's a There's There's a There was a year There's name was Henry Kissinger. Henry Kissinger was the second or third most powerful person in the United States in the 70s. He was the defense minister of the United States. Debatably, the vice president today is a little more powerful. Back in the day, it was mostly, the way I see it, I could be wrong, and I'm not saying facts, it seemed like the vice president was much more ceremonious back in the day. Today, it looks like they have more power, but I can't I'm not positive. I'm not an expert on this. Be that Whatever the case is, he was one of the most powerful people in the country. This year, Henry Kissinger, who's a cousin of my grandmother, he observed about from Yidden. He said the West have this world and ignore next world. The East had next world and ignore this world. And the from Yidden seemed to have this world and the next. It's specifically quite engaged in this world. If that would be an observation, I'm not forcing this observation on anybody. It would seem a student of Torah would observe this. It would seem to be true. Now, we've had aesthetics. We've had people that totally were perished from this world. We've had even the people perished. Let's say, I'll give an example, and this is not somebody who separated from this world, Rabbi Miller, who learned Yaima Valila was not the biggest, but he enjoyed Hashem's world immensely. I'm coming from a father who learned more than almost anybody I've met in my life. My father his his default setting was to learn Torah. The hours he learned today, that's what my father did. He woke up, he learned, he went to sleep. He was always learning. Yet, he was somebody who enjoyed a good game of tennis a lot, enjoyed a nice barbecue a lot. I like he enjoyed this world like significantly. Now, I'm not saying there aren't Sadiqim that are perished. There are. It's not common, and it doesn't look that that's the main direction of the Torah. If you learn Mesi'as Yesharim precious, which is separation from the world, is only a way to get to Kedusha. Kedusha is the proper engagement in this world, engaging in a beautiful way. Rav Ezriel Shlita showed me a Tanchuma that Medrash Tanchuma that says that Kovod Shabbos, preparing for Kovod Shabbos, is worth more than a thousand Taneisim. Which is exactly this. So, your Kovod Shabbos is the engagement in this world. Oneg Shabbos, eating on Shabbos. And that's more than a thousand Tanias. To me, what that expresses is engagement in the right way in this world is worth more than disengagement from the world. That's That's what I see in the words. So, anybody studies Anybody studies Torah, studies Mussar, studies Yiddishkeit. Now, I'm not saying there are people that could be shakuah, that could be stuck in this world and not living in the right way. I look at It's fun. I'll tell you something interesting. When When When people talk about When people talk about learning by your Rebbe, Nachi, when people talk about learning by your Rebbe, the To me, the biggest thing is is that the Rebbe's life works and you like his life. Torah is not a subject. If I describe They asked me to do a video for Rav Weisslickie. He's being honored by the Yeshiva. To me, I watch you all by Rav Weisslickie. Any intelligent person buying what draws a guy, Nachi, is by Rav Weisslickie is I like his life. Now, if a guy told me he was not an excuse giver. A guy Weisslickie's actually coming back on the derech. He's a lawyer, a very special person. He's coming back on the derech who's off the derech. He told me a very sharp thing and he wasn't blaming. He said my choice my own choice my own choices. but he te- What? I want to use it to to it's true. That's Well, well. But I want to express that he said this guy this guy with my this guy said that I never had a rebbe that I liked his life. Which is an incredible combination. He said I never Tyra Tyra is not a subject it's came Tyra no it's life. I want to express this. I want to express this. A bachur in the Yeshiva his father was about Yeshiva. His father went to public school and he was in an out of town Yeshiva miserable Avram. So he he he was complaining bitterly to his father I'm miserable in school. So his father sat him down and his father said I don't understand you. We'll call him Yossi. And Yossi he Yossi I don't get you. He said all of us mom hated school I hated school and he said I'm not I'm not saying I love this he used it a very aggressive expression. He said a person you deal with it tough luck and you and you go through it like what's your he said what's your deal you're kvetching you're complaining. We all hated I hated school your mom hated school your grandma hated school your granddad everybody hated school. You like kvetching what's with you kids of today? What's the big kvetch? We all hated school and we we survived and that's it. So the kid said something so smart pace his father. He said dad you went to PS 147 whatever you went to. He said you hated school you need to get a diploma and deal with it that's what you need. He said school I'm learning Tyra. School says to me who I'm going to marry. It says to me what type of lifestyle I'm going to live. You can't "So, deal with it." It has to resonate. And I I'm studying things. You can't tell a person who's deciding who's literally studying who to marry, how to marry, how to have children, how to live my life, and say grin and his father like was very necessary was very awakened that now I we need to find something. Very smart kid. You can't say he's pointed out to his father very nicely, "Suck it up. That's the expression of us and deal with it." That's very nice if you're getting a diploma. There are a lot of things in life you don't have to like it, you got to do it. I'm looking I'm looking to figure out my life. You can So, to me the I make when I spoke about right with Snikky the I make is guys by my like I like his life. Awesome. What are you learning? What are you studying? I could say on my father tell me to my father there was a there was a Russia Shiva in Eretz Yisrael I heard him he didn't know I was in the crowd. He was talking about his relationship to my dad. He was describing this. That his life moved me. It was a life. No, no it was a big crowd. Well, yeah. Yeah. But I'm saying he wasn't saying it like What do you say? What I I my point wasn't that >> [laughter] >> my point was he wasn't saying it to like to like make me feel that I'm that this is what he experienced. That he um Great crowd. This This what he experienced that it really when when people describe what they get from right with Snikky I this is what one of the what maybe the biggest thing is like wow, that's that's a life I would sign on to. That's wow. I would I I and that's tire is not a subject it's a way of life. What what I'm getting at Chevreuse I'm setting up a kasha. Chevreuse this whole thing we're having a party. And all of this is to set up a cash out. >> [clears throat] >> All of everything we just said is a truth. I'm not I think it's a truth. I'm not like I don't know it. I don't have an agenda today. I actually want to ask a question. I don't want the orphan answer. I want answers from the guys. What I want to ask the camera is today is the latest. Today we arrive in in the mid bar Sinai to receive the Torah. And my question to every guy here that bothers me a lot is why in the world did God give us the Torah in the desert? It's the opposite of everything I'm saying. It's the opposite Zev and I I don't want a quick answer. I don't want a quick answer. I really am bothered by this. Everything Yoel, don't say anything yet. I want you to hear something. Yoel, I want you to hear this Yoel. Yoel, everything I see in Torah everything I see in Torah is what I just described. If and I'm I'm willing to be wrong. Someone say careless, you don't understand Torah, life of Torah. I'm willing to be wrong. I gave over what I see in a life. My rebellion had had spouses. My rebellion were engaged in this world. They lived in nice houses. Everything I'm describing is is engaged in this world. Hashem says come come. I want to give you the Torah. Come to the desert. I am very bothered. It seems if literally if Yiddish kite was like go to the Himalayas, go like the nuns. If literally that was if Yiddish kite looked like that I would say come to the desert. The I want to I want to introduce a new lifestyle to you. I've run I am bothered deeply. Not I don't like all of it. I'm really bothered. God really gives us the Torah. And he tells us today we're headed to Kabbalat Torah. It's come to the desert. >> Come to the desert? I think that's wild. >> You want to come to the desert? >> That's wild. That's wild. It's shocking to me. Give it to us where we And remember, we don't live in the desert. We're going to Eretz Yisrael. And it's very exact. And again, I I really want answers from the guys, but I want to hear field the question to me. And you might not be bothered. You don't have to be bothered by something. I want to express that it's shocking to me. Literally, if it if it was the if it was like they were saying that Torah that they lived, that lifestyle, people, monks, and the like, who are detached, who who their their thoughts are religions not to get married, I would hear, "Come to the desert. There's something I want to show you." But to people that the very Torah calls to a person to engage in the world, to me, it seems bizarre. I'm willing to hear answers. But to tell a guy, "Come, come, come. Come to the Himalayas. Come to where nobody is. And come, I want to hand you something in the desert." To me, that's bizarre. I would suspect, if I was to guess, it brings out the question. It's factual we received the Torah in the desert. To me, it seems very bizarre to receive in the desert. It seems to be very distant from what Torah really says. Good question. And that's what I'm showing I Before an answer, I want to field the question. I want the question to live in this room. That for everything the Torah calls to a person, the last place, if I was a guessing man, it would make the most sense to hand people Torah in the middle of civilization, to wear the Tyra talks to the life that Tyra is asking and demanding and and bringing out, it would seem so odd to tell a person come to the Himalayas. Come come to the desert where nobody lives, where nothing grows, which is devoid of civilization. That seems to me very odd for what the Tyra is, for what the Tyra is asking of a person, for what the Tyra is offering a person, I think this like something that's incongruent, that seems off. That's my question. I don't think it's a very forced question. I I think it's like for anybody who studies Tyra, it seems it needs like a real chat. It brings I could And by the way, someone who doesn't agree with this, I It's time to ask a fair question. Why is the Tyra given in the desert? I only think it like magnifies the question. It's not what the Tyra is saying to a person. >> It seems paradoxical, right? Yeah, that's to me. Now again, before any answers, before any answers, is it rather striking to what I'm saying? And you see people who are like going out. I love that our Rebbeim are precisely and we learn by Rebbeim that are engaged in this world, that are very much We don't go to people that aren't that aren't involved in this world, that aren't that our Rebbeim are literally engaged. That's that's what I'm asking the chevre. Someone who's not engaged in this world is Are they like Are they like a more detached type of guy? Are they somewhat wrong with you? I don't want to say wrong. I want to say that it doesn't look like that's the chevre Anybody studying Tyra, the Avos were engaged in this world. Yesh Avraham. The Avos worked. The Avos were rich. Now I'm not saying they were in money for reasons for for spiritual They were completely attached to Hashem, but through the anybody studies Tyra, is the attachment to Hashem through this one. By the way, in the base of this was full of gold. Gold? It was like a very beautiful aesthetically pleasing place. >> Beautiful? And all of a sudden when we received the Tyra contrary to all the other things of holy. I wouldn't suspect come to the desert. Come, I want to give you this gift. >> It's like weird, yeah. Come to your house. I want to hand you a gift. I want to come to you where you live as you live. That's not even fair. Something like very weird to do this. Y'all well, does the question strike? Yeah, the question strike me as a I I promise you I want answers. Literally. I want to hear from the guys. And I you could ask the question. Stop. It's interesting at turn the mid bar. To me, it's not just you know this cash is in child is not him. Somebody could have asked this as a child. Yeah. I don't know what what he's asking is like oh, why didn't you give us a house in the way had some desert not. If and then I'm sure you could find me an answer why they come to the desert but why once you come to the desert to have seen I have all the flowers and all the grass and everything like that. If you're coming to a place that's not meant to be comfortable. That's interesting. That's interesting. >> Why is he making me eat at all? That's interesting. That's true. That's true. But it's so funny. And by the way, this is this Hashem's talking to me and you and today he says come to the desert. I want to It's a strange place but everything that I understand Tyra says and is. So now, Ruben Yana couldn't just been a child. It's actually what child why you give me a desert? What's happens? Like you have a child. I'm asking for more than that. Sure. For sure, that's what everything about Tyra that then you study Tyra it speaks about planting, harvesting. It's like a song you complete. This is one safer but that's for civilization. Speaks about the first myths was to get married. poo poo, poo. Engage in this world, yeshiva alum. And for the sake of yeshiva, come come out of this world. I want to give you some The midbar is the least Explain the more special. It's interesting, reflecting that without Torah there's like nothingness. Interesting. Interesting. The reflection of without this like you have garnish. Like you. Feel that. I literally Chaim, I want the guys to say their own shottem. I don't want to say the pshat is. I don't want to. Cuz I think this is like To me there's not a minor thing of kabbalah satour. This is the introduction. Literally, this is what happened. This is what happens. We go to midbar Sinai. This is like This is today b'shchaim sevan. Chaim Yisrael goes to the desert. We go to the desert. Yair, I'm asking very very fiercely the question that Chazal ask. I'm asking that everything about Torah seems to be a person engaged in this world. My father is from the In my existence, the one I experienced to learn Torah the most is my dad. I saw him I breathed he learned. He was so engaged in this world. Like the nice piece of nice piece of schnitzel. He'll good tennis game. He enjoyed and used the world for great deveikus b'Hashem. So when I see that, Yair, I'm so missed by come get the tire. There are nuns in the have go people living in the Himalayas. They're disengaged from life. We don't look at that as the life of tire. We look at Kadusha utilizing things right and beautiful. We see our rebellion Rabbi Russ. You see we see our rebellion as people I was lucky who are very engaged in this world. So, makes it makes me wonder to receive the tire come to the desert. That's given where we live cuz that's what it speaks to a life of living a life engaged. That's the energy of what I'm asking. I don't there's not a cute word like this is real stuff. This is what happens. This is like and I shall to say every little child knows receive the tire the mid mid bar Sinai Harris Sinai mid bar Sinai. This is like the basic the address. This is like the basic of Yiddish guide. I think that's that's that's that's that has to bring the thought. That has to be my but it's not just a shower. It's a cash. Yes, Matthew. >> [snorts] >> Explain. What what what about I'm I'm with you. I want to be What what do you mean human? Why is the desert human? In the city of the issue everybody will lives in the desert. Where everybody lives, where everybody is, where everybody functions. The desert's not The desert by its nature, people don't have settlements in the desert typically cuz hard to There's no water, there's no It's a It's not a the most functional place. >> make serious sense. It's just funny. The desert represents not min ha'ishuv, not where people live. >> the other place. I don't think so. People live where there's water, people The desert In the desert, there's something called an oasis. Like there, there's water. There, people live. It's like a chiddush. Kiryat Sefer, Modi'in, Moshav Mattisyahu is like a chiddush. Living in the desert, they put down something that's Can you go to Israel and go to Eretz Yisrael without the Torah? Can you go settle down with Yeah, give it It seems so odd that you give it out of the issue. And for everything I know about Torah, it seems so strange. He's like prepare them to like know how to use like the actual real world with the Torah. Interesting. CD and really Mechi is saying the CD is saying very intelligent. CD said that this is the way how you engage. So, from a space of not having, let me give this to you, and then like engage with this. Maybe maybe. It's like seems so like I'm happy that even your Torah It's acknowledged a weird place to give it. The Torah It's Take this before you engage. Like that's what guys are saying. Before we get Torah, it's like you're not in the issue of yet. You'll need this for the issue of. So, Yoel said Yoel said Yoel said Shtern. Yoel said this. I like that Yoel a lot. I like that a lot, Yoel. Yoel and CD are saying that before we engage, because this is going to be a safer about engagement. So, let me give it to you before you're not engaged. Go for almost to teach like a little bit like to teach that you this is the safer of engagement. Precious before before Kadusha there is something called precious. When Yona is describing that if it does say there's a Gamara says whoever learns Tame Anio say for learn Hashiras. When Yona is like expressing first do it without and then like you build your life but just strange to me because the Torah speaks about engagement. That's what it's about and there is such a thing of precious. The Torah speaks about engagement in the world. Are we fair question? What hits you Ari? I want it's funny. I want guys last to say a Torah and what hits you? I like asking it's funny the art have read. I gone to many Q&A's and I started doing instead of thinking of answers. I don't like doing that. I have a new stick. I really say what I'm thinking. I don't want to think of it and it's a very good idea not to I didn't say something like what what hits you. Questions like bring things out. What what hits about this? That you receive the Torah in the desert. You receive in the desert. What hits you? What what is that? What is this? What is being suggested here? Now I do want to say Hazal asked the question. And Hazal would bother why is the Torah given in the desert? The maybe maybe maybe it's a maybe maybe it was a question. Maybe I don't know. Maybe. What's what's what and don't say this the answer I don't say what's one element in the desert Kazal do say that nobody owns it a cold ocean everybody has there it's like the ultimate place it's nobody settles the desert the deserts the wild place that anybody could just come to anybody could stake a claim it's it's a cold I came out still like passion for the Torah not just hey why do we get in the desert everything about Torah is that I spoke about what you said Shabbos those are the name you are your biking and you want ice cream and you want to figure out how to do it out via Torah everything about the Torah speaks about a person who lives in this world that's what's unique if our greats are completely engaged in parnassa and oilam and having mishpachas everything in the Torah speaks to that so why does Hashem say come come to the desert I want to give it in the issue of seems so hard to understand so unlikely well have those nuns were right in their view of holiness so then a world like that would make sense come to the desert that's not the world of Yados of our greats that are incredibly engaged in this world so what's this come to the desert I have something for you yeah you hear you like the question there I like the question one some similar similar vibe similar vibe yeah I like things go down like out in the open like you would think about like us as a Yeshiva right we're not in Lakewood we're not in Monsey like we're in freaking Durham Connecticut you know like we're out there even like the road trips, like, the sickest trips that we do are going down in Colorado and Utah, like, we're not hearing anything. It reaches everywhere. It's interesting. Somebody Daniel said that the reach of the Torah, like this it's funny that there are people who there are people who study Torah in Eretz Yisrael. Say, under these conditions I could learn Torah, live Torah. The story of Torah is wherever you go to serve Hashem, that it's not limited to a specific place. Ah. So, Daniel says something that does resonate. Like, they're in the they're in the desert and the Torah is given there. That Torah doesn't need a certain place, a certain conditions. Under all the Torah speaks to all places. If it was given in Eretz Yisrael, you should say, under these conditions we serve Hashem. Under these conditions I can engage specifically the least inhabitable place on Earth. There we got the Torah. And Daniel sees this that the Torah reaches everywhere. Could be. Could be. I'm not like I don't have a monopoly on this. I think it's I think it's an important question today that we come to Midbar Sinai. That is what it's the first it's to me the first story. It's like the first story of Kabbalat Torah. The start come to the desert. Come to the Midbar. I have something I want Now, I do want to say that I'll say that Misha Meisim Atzmai K'Midbar Zocheh L'Kiddushin Torah. That you have to be you have to be available to people. That has to be people are invited with. It's I can't like connect it exact come to the desert and get it. Is there some energy? It says Mi Midbar Matan Torah Mi Shemeisim Atzmai K'Midbar Zocheh L'Matan Torah. And the Midbar is the place everybody's invited. Nobody has a right more than another one. Could it be given there is a sense that it's put in the place where everybody has entitlement to it. I want to give it a sham says in that place that's hefker lakol. It's the midbar is the place every other place on earth has somebody who typically owns it. The midbar is that place human beings don't claim. It's like everybody's land, anybody's land. Nobody lives be issue. And the ultimate of Torah is here, I'm giving you something in this space where everybody has access, everybody has rights. It's possible. I wanted to present this question to the chevra. I do have thoughts on it. I have other thoughts on it. I want the guys I'm asking the chevra to think about again, if the question doesn't bother you, don't worry. If the question bothers you, to allow to allow thoughts. I think it could bring us to good places that we got to tell you specifically in the desert. >> No. We we I just want to We also learned Torah there for 40 years in the desert. Exactly. It that points like we have Reuven Yona said that before you engaged as a there's something to observe like precious before it's possible. I'm not discounting that. And and Ari says What? All the others. You see people's own lives is you see the the way all of us build lives is we learn Torah before we get married. Ach ach yesh ach. After before a person gets a job, before So, Reuven Yona Akiva saying this reflects something, study then you'll engage. They exactly come to the desert, prepare, get ready, engage something so then you could I'm not I'm not against that energy. Somebody would give a fact of chazonish. They they should go to a midbar to learn Torah. How how good is the midbar like? How good is our situation? Yeah. Yeah, they're learning. They're disengaged from the world. Then after you There's such an energy. There's such an energy, yes. I'm saying me is like I feel like I wouldn't feel as invited if it was somewhere like in like a city or something like that. I feel like a midbar type guy, you know? I like what he's saying a lot. I like what Ari is saying a ton. It actually hits me more if Ari said the desert, nobody has a claim to see. I feel very comfortable You can't say any place you would invite to receive the Torah, whose land is this? Said his land, whoa, that's more shayach to me. The desert is that place nobody could say it's more shayach to me, more shayach to him, so to everybody. Because it's in the desert. Meaning it's like specifically for the desert type guy. I think everybody I think there's a sense nobody could say they are not. I want to say there's a big with Torah that it's munach b'cherem zol v'shaveh everybody's entitled to this. If Hashem gave the Torah in a specific issue where he chose to give it, oh, it's for me, it's the Torah he gave it, and it's funny, it says about the midbar mishameish like a midbar. Says midrash kol d'alshim al av everybody tramples there. So nobody's entitlement more than the next person. That's what the midbar represents. Nobody's more than the next. Very good. Torah is given there. There's a big sugia. It bothers me when people make it that family gets Torah. The Gemara says that talmidei chacham's kids are often not talmidei chacham. Nobody should say it's that family. It belongs to the entirety of our people. >> Wow. Belongs to the entirety. I like that p'shat, Ari's p'shat, a lot, a lot. Not just like it's for everyone cuz I feel like specifically like a desert type guy. I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying. Even a guy who doesn't feel like a desert kind guy cannot have a sense that it's for somebody else. Because the desert is nobody's more than the next person. So and it says "Has all some of the desert are called and everybody can come here." And Hashem says come what? This is what he's saying. Cuz it was given to us. But what he was saying to us and by the way go become a what he's saying to us is this is not the right of one more than the other. I like that a lot. I like that a lot. The Reuven Yona said that there's a period of precious before engagement. Reuven Yona and Akiva there's precious before engagement. Chaim said that the contrast there's nothing in the desert and the contrast of that from nothingness comes something. That's what I heard in Chaim. This shot of Ari is the desert nobody's more entitled. If it would be given in anybody's and by the way the different lands is it this shavus land that shavus the desert nobody has entitlement. It's all of ours. The sense it to me that I taught that touches something. Come come and if we we receive it we are it's like this is nobody could say it was more given to him. That does touch place in me. I like that a lot. That's what I wanted to say. The guys think about the question we will pick it up tomorrow. The the pool is open I believe right now. Guys should enjoy the pool. I will meet you at the Do we have 10? What? No. Do you guys here want to swim? Yes. I don't know. Yes. What? I don't know what that Is that it?
