Everything Is In This Weeks Torah Portion - Parashat Bechukotai

that every time anybody in the world has questions those questions will have answers in that week's Torah portion the Torah command us to write the talmud if not why do we follow God's why do we follow God's Commandments yet do things the Torah then command us do okay so that there is actually in this week's Pasha you know as usual the the answer to everything is always in this week's parasha every week I say the same thing it's always in this week's parasha and whether it's you ask a question next week it's going to be in that week's palasha this week it's also in this this parasha so let's see where it is hold on we'll find it this week's par talks about how hasem has toot what is toot toot is the plural for Torah and why it say multiple toras because the Torah has a written Torah and an oral Torah here we go uh in chapter 26 verse number 46 these are the decrees and ordinances in teachings toot teachings it's plural that hasem gave between himself and the children of is at Mount sa through Moshe so the Torah has both a r tah and an oral tah what does that mean the written tah is what we got at Mount sa and the oral tah is what we got at Mount sa but at Mount saai things were a little bit different than they are right now at Mount saai first we got the Ten Commandments and we got the Tora up to is the in the in the written Torah that's about Mount sa and over the next 40 years hasem told mhu to write other parts of the Torah that are what's happening or what happened throughout that time but the oral tah the oral tah is the rules of the tah itself the entire T the the WR now why do we have to have both a written to and oral T is because the written tah was written in such a fashion that you cannot understand what it means and what it's saying without rules without specific rules of how to understand it for example one of the Ten Commandments is that we're not allowed to violate Shabbat we have to observe Shabbat but what does it mean to observe Shabbat does that mean to look at something and just write a word named Shabbat and just look at it does it mean putting something that's putting us uh uh writing something Shabbat put it in a cage and now it's a it's it's it's keeping Shabbat what does observing shabbat mean so the oral Tora told us that this is referring to the 39 39 different types of activities that we are forbidden from doing on Shabbat the same thing with toiling for example the Flores these are things that every Jewish male has to do every single day except Shabbat and holidays he has to put them on one on the arm and one on the head now the laws of thein which the tells us we have to put them on this is something that's in the Torah this is something that we repeat every single day in our is prayer that uh Hashem gave us the Commandment to put on the tfillin this is a Torah commandment but what is the toilin what is the toilin how does it look like what's the shape you know what's in it so the laws of the Tain and which prayers are inside it and how to actually design it uh what shape it should be what color it is what's the size and so on all of those laws are not uh specified in the written tah that is in the oral tah another example would be was told to remove the from his body what is what is the definition of the word now if I was a and andm would have told me to to remove the I would say you know what I remove a nail I'll call the nail or it's much easier and painless to remove a nail or better yet if it has to inflict some pain then move maybe a hair I'll pluck a hair out I'll call that the or maybe I'll I'll take the ear off I'll take a little ear off you know somebody some people get an earrings it hurts a little bit but it goes away the last thing I would think is to remove a piece of my reproductive member that's the last thing in the world I would ever move but that's the definition that's where the is the is on the male member now of course there's also on on our heart but that's a spiritual or and that's obviously clarified in the toah point being is is that the written T was written in such a fashion that it is not understandable and you cannot Implement any of the laws any of the mitv without the clarification of these of these laws so you have the laws in the Torah and you have the definition of the laws in the oral tah and therefore both had to be given now the human mind was at a EXP exponentially higher level during the time of Moses than it is today uh everyone was a prophet uh at the time of mosenu meaning all of the Jewish people were all prophets they literally heard and saw the words of God something that we cannot even comprehend what is the voice of God or what does it look like these are things that we cannot comprehend this is what's written in the book of uh uh in that we saw the words of God in the book of Deuteronomy it's written we saw the words of God what does it mean to see the words of God do you see anything you hear anything no so point is that everyone was a prophet everyone was an exponentially higher intellectual level than we can comprehend and therefore they did not need the oral tah written for them they were able to look at a verse in the Torah in the r and understand all parts of its meaning the plain meaning the midash meaning the and the secret meaning the pares and S the uh the the plain meaning the hinted meaning the the lesson beyond the lesson the uh uh story behind the story and the secret meaning the cabalistic meaning mystical meanings of certain verses all the verses because every verse in the is prophetic point being is in that generation and for many years thereafter they were able to look at the written tah and understand all of it but as the generations went down further and further from Hashem meaning they started making more and more sense the level of human intellect started deteriorating further and further to the point where at the time of rabi he already understood that if we do not take the oral T and put the oral T at least part of it into a written form we will ultimately forget theom and we will not know how to observe Shabbat we will not know how to observe any of the in fact one of the punishments that Yeshua benun got uh because he did not ask mosenu a question during his last days whenu asked him uh do you have any more questions to ask me Yeshua B since he was always next to M he said no no you already taught me everything Hashem punished Yeshua Bon for that he said what do you mean how do you not have more questions foru and because of that Yeshua forgot 300 to the point where am nearly stoned him because he forgot to to to actually how to fulfill these 300 laws until one of theim uh uh discovered them through a certain to in a certain way and they they brought back that part of the to to life and so many words the oral tah was being forgotten until knew that if we do not write down the oral T we're going to end up forgetting the entire T and there's going to come a time where we will not know how to observe Shabbat and what the laws of of Shabbat are what the laws of kosher are we see today uh how clueless people are if you ask people uh certain laws of the Torah they do not know them uh in fact even if they read a book sometimes they don't understand what they're reading so it's uh the oral tah which in essence is the talmud uh is a is is what our Torah is so when the Torah says in this week's Paras that you have to observe my decrees my ordinances my teachings all of those are plural es and the Mo most particular one to your question is when it says T toot which is plural Torah when you usually you say the word Torah you're saying it as singular but here it's saying toot meaning there's more than one Torah what's more than one Tor there's the written Tor and then there's the oral Torah and this you'll find across the Torah in many places where many timesm is referring to the Torah he's referring to it at times as singular at times as plural uh you know when it's singular it's usually because the oral Torah is specified through a different word when it's plural that's because the it's referring to both the r and the oral tah in the uh in that single in that one word either way the oral tah uh is how we know what the Torah says and without it we would not know this is the reason why the uh the Christians and the church uh created a religion that's so far removed from Judaism because they interpret the Torah in their own uh according to their own understanding and that's the reason why they don't pretty much they have no laws they have no laws they don't have uh they don't have any laws that they comply with it's according to the Torah they don't comply with the Ten Commandments they don't comply with the any part of the tah so and they're saying yo the reason why we don't comply with the t is because Yos nullified the tah but Yos himself said he didn't come to if the so even their own book says that they're contradicting themselves so how how could they arrive at such a conclusion simple when you interpret the Torah according to your own human understanding you will not be able to succeed in understanding any part of the T not even a single verse not even the verse which is in the beginning hasm created the Heaven and the Earth even that verse it is impossible for any human being to understand what that verse means without the oral tah because there are so many different teachings just in the first word that you could literally have thousands thousands of thousands of Torah lessons of hours long just off of the first word and you can do that with any word in the tah there's no word that's more or less than any other word in the tah uh but again without the t a person cannot understand any part of the Torah and that's one of the things that people uh that haven't learned to don't know so as you can see your question is in this week's par next week you're going to ask a question it's also going to be next week's par how is that so very simple makes it so that his Divine Providence is shown in such a fashion that every time anybody in the world has questions those questions will have answers in that week's Torah portion and that's Divine Providence that we've seen week after week year after year all these years we've been learning and teaching
