Emet Inspire - Rabbi Binyamin Yuhanan - Shavuot

[Music] Shalom this coming week we are going to celebrate the holiday of shav giving of to of the the Torah and uh the question is how do we prepare for it how do we prepare to receive the Torah we say it's called calat t calat means receiving the Tor and the answer is when you have a large vessel that contains a lot of good stuff and you want to receive some of it you need to come with your own vessel into which you can pour you have a large huge bag of sugar a whole truck full of sugar and you come and you say I want some sugar so the truck driver says okay where's your bag where is your utensil where is your CLE and you come with a teaspoon and say here give me some sugar so he pours you a little bit sugar and you come home and say here I met a truck driver full of sugar and here I brought you some and your wife says what is this you brought me a teaspoon of sugar and you say what can I do you sent me with a spoon I brought you back a spoon of sugar so I would say just say in order to receive Tora you have to become a clean you have to become a utensil that can hold a lot of you can hold a lot of T how can you hold a lot of Torah and the mishna says the states that in order to receive the Tor you have to first have what is means you have to purify your character means my mid have to be balanced I have to work on my anger I have to work on my patience I have to work on my humility I have to work on my generosity and then when I purify my mid we have only a few days left tonight is already rodes if I clean myself I become a good vessel my body is now able to receive the K the Holiness and the the which has all the knowledge will come in the extra is going to enter my body and I will be able to understand the Torah I will be able to understand God I will be able to feel God how by creating a clean vessel within my self may we purify ourselves may we become a human being with a with a capital H may we be the great vessel in which to accept ourish in which to accept the Tor in which to accept the shabbat shalom and hug Sam [Music]
