we just read at least here in uh america parties by midbar and will soon read in which the torah describes the various uh avodahs of the vinay levy and among them was a special mission of the bhne kahas to carry the arun the arun [Music] that contained the luchos and the torah khazal pointed out that inasmuch as it appeared that the banaika hospital were actually physically carrying the iron you know on their shoulders with the poles truly a miracle took place and the r1 was no say as nasa'ab that it lifted it uplifted and carried those who appeared to be carrying it and this has been used as a martial as a metaphor to describe really the miraculous survival of claudioso throughout the galas that inasmuch as we have been committed to the torah to the torah through the torah has carried us and kept us afloat throughout the galas there's an incredible story told of riviette one of the great hasidic rebels who lived unfortunately during the times of the showa and he was taken to a concentration camp and he miraculously managed to sneak in some loose pages of a gemara breakfast and every night after a long day of back breaking labor and little to no food or drink he would learn and eventually he would start saying cheer to those who are interested and one day the capo the jewish officer noticed what was taking place and he went and he brought in an ss officer and nazi to rat him out to ran out of the jew this rebbe who was learning and as the ss officer walked in all the jews you know their hearts dropped the rabbi quickly tried to hide his papers but it was too late and the cop will point to the jew with the nazi officer there and he says the jew is always learning and the nazi said to the turn to this rebbe and he says is it true and the rabbit thought to himself and with a smile on his face recognizing the depth of the line said yes it's true a jew is always learning and he recognized and was trying to convey that not just me but this has been the description of all of kleisthel and our eternal state our eternal connection to the torah yes a jew is always learning and when the nazi officer heard this and witnessed what these jews were doing at the end of a day in gehennim itself he says if that's the case then this this people will never die this people will never be defeated and he walked out and this is a message not only a partisan but of matan torah of that inasmuch as we have been true to and dedicated to the torah the torah has been uplifting us has been no say us not we should continue to be zoha to show our commitment and to be zohan to be the payback so to speak of being uplifted by the torah
