Is It Important To Believe In Miracles? Parashat Bo

foreign so with that being said uh we have uh the uh the uhavim period uh continue here in parashatbo uh the shovel is a time period where the six parashot six weekly uh Torah portions which are is an auspicious time to do chuva for immorality crimes especially the issues of you know whether it's wasting seed homosexuality adultery uh people that do chuva during this time uh certainly get an extra uh benefit in shamim uh but to do a tikkun for tikuna breed it's not always enough to Simply stop a person has to encourage others to do chuva also if he wants to wipe out some of the sins that he or she has from the past if she caused people to uh descend as a result of her immodesty if she sinned with them uh so a person needs to make sure that they do as many uh steps as possible able to rectify the past as the prophet says that don't let the past be the stumbling block of your future so one of the things that the sages uh instituted and taught us was to actually do tikunim and these tikkunim are not just the traditional chuva of stopping the sin saying I'm sorry for it not repeating the sin staying away from it all of the basics but also doing other things that are necessary and that result specified that each person has to do a certain amount of fasts uh per uh per each sin that they've made relating to immorality oh you know like I said adultery homosexuality wasting seed a Jew being intimate with a non-jew even it's if the sin was one time there's a uh there's an account for that uh in Fast and of course since the generations have become weaker and weaker anyone that looks at the number of fast they need to make for each time they send is uh weakened immediately until they find out that they could actually Rectify uh those uh or replace those uh fasts with money uh and that for anyone that wants to know more specifics about that go to the website.live tikuna bleat that live over there we have a whole write-up uh explaining the tikunim how much they cost and anyone on the ones to tiku name could also do it on that website as well because there you'll have the opportunity to not only do the Tycoon itself to replace the fast but also uh help us do key roof which is again like I said a double benefit uh that no other organization that I'm familiar with whether it be English or otherwise uh can do uh just simply because this is something that we created with the uh the film and the teachings we have about this topic Hashem in addition to being there during this time we're obviously in a year more specifically we are in a time of parashatbo is a extraordinary palasha that the uh in the opening of the parashah the ramban nachmanadis the same Ramba Holi ramban that we're learning ish every Tuesday night about the Jewish intimacy and the Holiness of Jewish intimacy for anyone that's missed out that series you've literally missed out on a piece of gun Eden so the very same holy ramban has a famous commentary on parashatvo uh and in fact it's actually on the last verse of parashatbo teaching us the following and he says and it shall be a uh uh an oath a sign upon your arm and an arm an ornament between your eyes with a strong hand Hashem removed us from Egypt so the ramban comments on this particular verse and says a person has no portion in the Torah of Moshe rabenu without believing that all things that happen to us are Miracles whether communal or private not at all natural or the way of the world meaning that there is no such thing as something is natural something is part of nature something is normal the ramban says everything is a miracle and anyone who does not believe that everything is a miracle whether it's you blinking your eyes or being able to make ends meet or it's uh you know being saved from some type of car crash or a disease disappearing like we said in the story last night everything is a miracle whether it's for the community or it's privately everything is that and if he fulfills the mitzvot he will be rewarded and if not you will receive punishment everything is decreed from Heaven therefore nothing is purposeless nothing big or small so here we see that the ramban elaborates on what the second uh in page seven beasts it says in the name of that no bruises uh on even a finger of a person on this Earth uh ever happened unless it was decreed against them in heaven uh and uh here we see that uh before anything happens there's a bedding that decides everything that happens but even more so he actually uh puts a additional pressure on uh the uh on the people to understand this concept of reward and Punishment by adding the fact that not only is there a reward and Punishment it's an obligation but there's also an obligation to believe that everything in the world is Supernatural there is no such thing as something natural and anyone that has a problem with believing that has no share of the Torah of Moshe in so many words they're considered the not because so this is obviously a very very important part uh you know that of Judaism that a person just simply must on understand I know that today there are many people that claim to be rationalists and they try to rationalize things and the funny thing is that many times these people to their complete ignoramuses uh that don't really know very much aside from a few things they've read online or heard in some video that they simply keep harping on over and over again because they have not received their uh spiritual uh uh uh you know fulfillment for that day or even for their lifetime so they're constantly bothering the world with their confusions it's important for a person to know that who runs everything there is no uh other Force out there that uh can decide something outside of hashem's Will and this is actually one of the uh critical things that it could either help a person complete their chuva and literally Elevate them from the the bottom of the barrel that they're in into a holy stage where they could literally live a life full of Holiness full of blessing full of all of the wonderful things that Hashem wants to give them whether it's marriage or children or a good panasa an enormous amount of Torah literally open your mouth and Hashem will fill it uh says the pursuit and it's a a person could literally be elevated through this basic knowledge and understanding or could literally be doomed as a result of just simply rejecting it [Music] thank you let me know what you think and make sure to share it because other people need to learn too
