[Applause] it's time for rabbi Minko it's weekly Torah lesson a place where life's most difficult questions are answered here with his spiritual perspective and insight rabbi Mingo it so this week's Torah portion partaketh God instructs us to be careful not to veer off and to remain loyal to God and in the process God lives that when we become successful we'll forget about God and God mentioned that we went through a mid border desert a God though the awesome desert Noah not serve active etc so the Rebbe asked what's the connection the fact that we went through a desert this huge desert about not being loyal to God and the Rebbe explains with an analogy there just like for example when you have a tree and you have the fruit of the tree so the main thing is ultimately the fruit of the tree so the fruit we can use that we can eat we can make a blessing on it and the tree is important but it's here to serve the purpose of the fruit the same thing also why is god mentioning a desert because when you go through a desert the desert is only a desert it's a medium to go to the city but if you make the desert as you general also I'm going to play some passion you're going to miss the point you're not going to get to the city because Alton's you want to focus on the end result and what's important that will give you of the real fruit of life what is the real fruit of life the real full of life is total in this moment and when a person studies Torah when a person does mitts load that will ultimately give you the connection to God everything that the medium to leading up to Torah Mitzvah there's only a desert is a desert which is a process of getting to the city so in other words Hackel remain loyal to God by staying focused and what's really important which is Torah and mitzvot just like fruit versus a tree and this way you will be able to remain loyal to God as we focus on the Torah and mitzvot which is the end goal this week's Torah lesson is a memory of Barack and I relayed and Ben Joseph may their souls the elevator to the Torah that we're studying in their members thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson for more information on Habad please see our website [Music]
