Black Fire on White Fire - Rabbi Andrew Markowitz

i shall welcome everybody your xiaomi tells us that the torah was written black fire on wifi what exactly does this mean and how do these differ rav cook explains that the eight shakora the black fire represents the actual letters of the torah and what surrounds the letters of the torah is the parchment and that is the ish levana the a shakur the black fire represents the details of the particulars the act and the actual performance of the of the torah itself of the mitzvah itself the islam represents what surrounds the shahora what surrounds the mitzvah itself is the passion the desire the excitement your personal connection to the midst of itself is putting on filling a shahora is eating samatsa making kiddush on friday night and the aish lavana is the excitement the personal touch that we have with that the impact that that mitzvah has in our lives and how it enhances us as a jew cook shares two proofs we're just going to give one to this notion itself where cook says [Music] any single letter in the torah that is not on all four sides surrounded by whites by the by the parchment is psula is a puzzle puzzle every single letter in the torah needs both elements need the letter itself and it must be surrounded it must be surrounded by the white fire it must be surrounded by the cloth and al alsai otherwise the safer torah itself is possum the measure says the beginning of our parashat hashem called out to moshe the aleph of vayikra is an aleph zira and everyone trouble is troubled why exactly what does this represent why is it smaller based on what we just said from rav cook we could suggest the following or if cook is telling us or the torah is telling us that this aleph by making this olive smaller making the black letter of the olive smaller you're really giving more space for the white space in the torah itself you don't see a small letter but disproportionately there's a lot more white a lot more of the ish levana out there in this name what rough cook explains that who is giving motion showing moshe showing us how moshe lived his life yes moshe followed carefully every single nuance every single detail every single in the torah itself but the greatness of moshe is that he had this white fire this levana so the al of the era is less is levana sometimes in our lives we get caught up in all of the details which are very very important and invaluable you must keep all of the details of all the thirty-one we must keep everything not a question but we get caught up in the nitty-gritty in the in the forest and we don't see we get stuck in the woods we don't see the big picture itself and that's really what the torah is telling us over here come on it is indictment of israel yes now the deeper message that was expressing to achashvirus was that were we were yeshenim we were not it wasn't that we were not performing the mitzvoth it wasn't that we weren't doing them they were failing in our performance of the midwest itself no we were tired we were sleeping when we were doing them all the mitzvos everything we wake up in the morning we're going to chakras we were yeah we were keeping we're going to shul we were we were keeping shabbos but we wasn't with a passion with an excitement with a desire with the ish levana that was the indictment ultimately that that's what got through the xava against all the jewish people was that we were missing the ishlavana in our lives and how appropriate is that that yikra falls now for parashat zakharov this year it's an excitement for us not just on purim to be you would say the mitzvah to check or all in truth is the past two years that's really what we did we just checked the boxes for the past two years because that's what that's what was needed we gave the michelangelo's in a limited way we gave him a ton of stuff in a limited way we heard the megillah we ran right home and we had most of us had to udos just on our own this year we have to tap into the h slovana feel but we have to light up the fun in our lives and improve itself it should be an exciting you know inspiring purim that should last us for many many more months wish everyone a great day and a freelancer [Music]
