we know that there are multiple things in the Torah that are called OT called Covenant surely you've heard of the Covenant of Shabbat there's a covenant between Hashem and Ami said to observe Shabbat this is the reason why the Gentiles no matter how righteous they are are forbidden from observing Shabbat like the Jews do and needless to say that a Jew that desecrates Shabbat by driving on Shabbat lighting fire on Shabbat working on Shabbat and violating the rest of the 39 milit according to the Torah is considered a idol worshiper not uh someone that is not necessarily the uh favorite in hashem's eyes in fact the rambam uh writes in Chapter 30 the last that he's considered as uh no different than an idol worshiper and he loses his uh in essence his Jewish status so long as he continues to violate Shabbat if he wants to earn his Jewish status back then he has to observe Shabbat which means that so long as he desecrates Shabbat you can never use him as a witness in a Jewish ceremony you can't count them in mignon you can never use him as a khazan in a bit knee said you can't answer Amen to his kadish we're literally looking at somebody that's in a very very bad situation so much so that if you have a wine that's an uncooked wine a good quality wine and he picks it up you're no longer allowed to drink it in fact you're not even allowed to to uh do anything with it you have to pour it out because considered yaynessa it's considered the yin the the wine of idolatry that such is the dean on someone but a uh a non-jew is forbidden from observing Shabbat even if they mean well why this is one of the oats this is one of the covenants that Hashem has one of the signs that Hashem has with amisrael another Covenant is the bleat deplete me lies an oath between Hashem and Israel this is an originally a sign that Hashem made with avram avinu which later on transferred to Army sale at Mount Sinai the third one is the out of the filin TV in is something that a Jew has to put on each day of the week with the exception of Shabbat and Yom Tov he has to put on it to fill in and of course a person that puts on to fill in and doesn't learn literally could be putting on to filling throughout his entire life and not even getting the mitzvah for it why because he is using feeling the wrong way either that feeling is a uh is covered by sleeve uh meaning that the sleeve is under the tree or it's too close to his elbow or it's on his forehead instead of on the line and all types of other denim all types of other denim or perhaps he puts them on the opposite way he's uh he's a lefty but he's using somebody else's right-handed feeling and he's not putting it the right way because if you're gonna put it on if you're gonna use a right-handed person's feeling and you're a left-handed you have to put on it feeling opposite and same thing vice versa a person that doesn't know the Allah could literally be putting on to fill in every single day and simply not getting the Mitzvah not getting the Mitzvah forward this is one of the covenants that we have between us and academic a non-jew is not allowed to put on to Phil and this is not one of their covenants and also a person that's in the process of conversion also should not be putting on a uh to fill in until they're in the latter stages of conversion until they're in the latter stages of conversion simply because when a person starts taking on some of these uh specific Covenant types of mitzvot and fulfilling them a hundred percent they become too comfortable with their current status which could easily lead them to Simply never convert and I've seen this and witnessed this with my own eyes people that literally started looking more Jewish than anybody else in the community but they remain that way for 10 or 15 years and never converted because they were simply never saw the reason for it they're already living like a Jew why should they convert not realizing that all of the meats vote that they're doing are simply considered as practice they're not getting a reward for it but to them it seemed like they were even better than the Jews and many times unfortunately people that do not end up converting end up hating Jews as a result of it and this is also something I've witnessed with my own eyes where people take on the Mitzvah they take on the learning and they don't end up converting for different reasons and what ends up happening is they start believing in their own deluded mind that they're actually better than the Jewish people because they saw some people that are not observing these thoughts and they see themselves as observing each month and thereby thinking that they are better than them not realizing that you can't look at them that way number one number two you yourself are sitting by doing what you're doing so again people that do not have a rabbi that's going to lead them that's going to tell them the truth that's going to help them and guide them to the right path could easily go in astray so the third art is the art of feeling we also know that in the Torah it's mentioned that the there is another o terashem put into the world another sign which is the rainbow rainbow is a sign a covenant that Hashem made with Noah that he's never going to flood the world again he didn't say he won't destroy the world you simply say he's not going to flood the world anymore and this is also of course something that's called an OT but there's also another UT there's another art that I personally haven't heard anyone talk about I'm sure somebody has I'm sure you'll find it in the svarim surely but I'm talking about in certain lectures I haven't heard this out being discussed and this art is actually mentioned in this week's parasha parashat this oat is not just a covenant that is relevant to previous generation but rather the rambam the shukhana all say this is this is this particular art this particular sign is a Torah obligation a Torah obligation and this Torah obligation this particular art is don't be like that's the UT don't be like it says in chapter 17. in that they are this will be a sign to the children of Israel why a sign why a sign says that this is a commandment from the Torah not to be like and be a heretic so why was Kovach the way he was how does it all have to do with it how does it all have connected Hashem will try to show you the different things from the beginning of where we started in parashat [Music] let me know what you think and make sure to share it because other people need to learn to
