[Music] Welcome back to this week's Eminent Inspire. Shabot is coming up next week and you know Shabot is a the holiday we receive the Torah and you have there's a incredible vagon on Mish in chapter 22:1 19 that says like this that the main reason that Hashem gave the Jewish people the Torah is so they can put their trust in Hashem. Because the most important the most important than anything else is for us to learn how to put our full trust in Hashem. And it's interesting because in last week's para in it opens up that Hashem spoke to Moshe on hari saying and then he gives him the mitz of shmita. So everybody's very perplexed weren't all the mitz given on oni. Why are we specifically talking about shmita which is the the fact that you're not allowed to uh work the land in Israel on the seventh year. Why is that particularly being discussed as being given at at Harayiah in the mountain of Sinai? And there's different answers, but we could suggest a potential answer that it's because based on the vagon that the most important, the reason the Torah Hashem gave us the Torah was so that we can learn how to so that is all about having in fact it's probably the hardest one of the hardest ways to show it. You don't work for seven for one year out of seven. You have land, you have a field, you cannot touch it. The entire country can't touch the field. So, not only does it mean you're not getting you're you're not getting produce, you're not getting money, the whole country could starve, god forbid. So, and and the Torah specifically here points out says, Hashem says, do not worry. I will take care of you on the sixth year. I'll give you enough for to to take care of your inm. and then some. And so maybe that we could say was why the Torah put specifically by saying Hashem gave this commandment to Moshe at at Mount Siita. You know why? Because schmita encapsulates exactly what the Torah is all about. The Torah is about like the goon said about having learning to have trust in Hashem. And in fact the the Gmorrah says and the Torah says one of the reasons that the Jewish people eventually went into exile galut is because they did not keep shmita they stopped keeping shmita and that's why we went into exile and so you know the question is always like okay what does shmita have to do with going into exile I understand it's more mitzvah but why is this such a why is that the such a big deal I think the answer we can give again is the same thing is that if the point of the entire Torah was for us to learn how to trust in Hashem And shmita is one of the most important ways to do that. It's it's the one of the fundamentals. So if we didn't do that, we didn't put our trust in Hashem. We didn't we didn't do shmita. So then we didn't we're we're missing the fundamental. It's like we're messing up the entire Torah. So that's why potentially we can say why why the Jewish people was ex was were exiled for not keeping Shmita. And I want to finish up by saying that potentially the way to come back, the way to come out of galut, come out of exile personally and nationally is by putting our tr learning how to put our trust in Hashem through the everyday things in life. Having trust in talking the small things in life that come up all the time and and it's really that even might be one of the reasons why Hashem puts so many things in our lives consistently. So we learn how to trust in him and really finishes off and he says is als the the sign that the Hashem is among the Jewish people that dwells the Hashem's presence is among the Jewish people is through them having through them having trust in Hashem. So if we want Hashem and his to dwell in our homes. For we get nationally and Msiah and the and the redemption just in our own homes. Then what we need to do is we need to go we pick up a book on or put on a lecture about and work on it daily. Thank you.
