Yisro - Stay Focused | Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky

hi this is dski welcome to the par in five in five minutes we try to bring you over uh an idea on the paraa to help enhance your chabas par of course is the para of mat toyra the giving of the to and peric is the actual and the first deor begins but per says what are you all these things for just have elim all right and Hashem spoke all of these things saying so Rashi says he said it all in one moment one millisecond which a person cannot say and a person cannot hear what could you possibly have gained from that I bring everybody to Har and hasem says everyone's like what oh right what was the purpose of that he wanted to impress Claus the esos crus yamu the manun N that's nothing watch how fast I can talk that's what that was what was impressive there are 613 Mitzvah you ever hear the expression you can't see the forest for the trees because you get stuck on the details this is a problem whenever you have a system made up of a lot of details on a lot of rules that the rules can become the goal in and of itself and that's why the gamarra describes a situation where these two uh kohanim wanted to do the truma sedes and they're running up the ramp and one of them is just overwhelmed that he's going to lose the opportunity to do the avod and he pushes the other guy off the ramp and he falls and breaks his leg and at that point they said okay no more races we'll do a lottery because if a person is so anxious to the a hasem he'll push somebody off now that's not the worst version of the story The Bryer gives a worst version that's the mission Bryer says he instead he pulled out a knife and stabed the guy and he fell off the ramp and as he was dying his father runs over and sees his son dying and pulls out the knife and says don't worry I took it out before he died it's not tame you're watching your son die and you're worried about whether or not the knife is tame but this is the problem people can sometimes focus on the minua of Torah my first year of learning in erel 1975 I remember that there was a young fellow who died in the neighborhood and his son came to yiva and chabas to say Kadesh for his father he was maybe 8 years old now kades was originally instituted for children young children to say for their father and uh here he said it and nobody interrupted him nobody tried to stop him so uh afterwards after daving someone said h beautiful that's the way it's supposed to be meaning no one's supposed to interrupt a child a little child when he's saying KES for his father I remember can had Mas he looked and said no that's not the way it's supposed to be how could you be so see something like this and not be affected by the tragedy and instead be impressed by the H ramifications 613 add those up what do you get 10 because took all Theos and sum them up in 10 uh general rules one and zero which is makes 10 added up what do you get one and that's what Hashem was teaching us at the beginning when he went he was showing us there are many many but it's all one thing to get close to a to create the experience that is ultimately our challenge good chabas
