Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Holiday of Shavuot

welcome to this week's tour lesson this week we are celebrating the holidays vote and the question is what is schwart and how is it celebrated so this week as we celebrate the how they shroud with the famous teaching in the talmud that says that when God created the world so when it came to the sixth day of creation God says the sixth day and the question is why does it saying shishi the sixth day and the Talma tells us because God said to the world I created the world but on condition of hashishi the sixth day not referring to the sixth day of creation but referring to the Future sixth day what is the sixth day referring to the sixth day of the month of Sivan which on that day God is going to give the Torah to the Jewish people and what God was saying to the world if the Jewish people accept the Torah and observe the Torah and learn the Torah and live a life of Torah then I will keep the world otherwise I'm going to take away and destroy the world so in other words what do we see from here now what God was saying was he created a world but the purpose of the world is so that comes the sixth of Sivan God will give the Jewish people the Torah we're going to learn the Torah observe the Torah and that will create calm and peace in the world because as we know the world that God created is made up of time past present future space here there Etc so the natural state of the world does not come Torah has the power that it gives us the gift of being calm because we know when you learn Torah what does Torah teach us that we're created to serve Hashem it gives us a purpose of meaning of life and when someone has purpose and meaning that gives you focus that gives you stability that creates calmness and that creates in Hebrews called Manuka to be relaxed and what's interesting is that this year's wrote falls out the first day is Friday the 6th of Sivan and the second day is Shabbat and Shabbat we know the day of Manuka it's a day of it's a day of calm that's why what happens on Shabbat we don't we don't we don't travel anywhere um we don't do anything to uh to the to disrupt our uh life by going and running Etc and not only that the river brings a powerful teaching that says what happens when Shabbat time stops what's the proof that time stops because what happens after Shabbos we don't go into another day of the week it starts the clock starts over again we go back to Sunday Monday and then Shabbat comes and again the clock stops and we start again from Sunday what's the point that's clock stopping the point is that Chavez it's calm Shabbos is peaceful so the answer the question what is the holidays wrote and how's the holiday celebrated the holiday is the gift that God gave us the Torah it's the gift of calm and peace in our life the way we celebrate it by going to synagogue we hear the Ten Commandments obviously yes people eat cheesecake which is a tradition for other reasons we're not going to get into in this video but the point is that we hear the Ten Commandments we commit to learning Torah to living a life of Torah and that will give us the great gift of being Manuka to being calm in our lives thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lessons dedicate to memory of Baruch May their souls be elevated by Tory was studying in their memory for more information please see our website.org have a great and blessed week I want to wish you all like the river always says we should all have kabbalat hatura we should receive the Torah on on schwoz with happiness and an internal way we should all be connected with joy and happiness and learning Terror and that will give us God willing a great life please join us if you're in Fort Myers we have classes all the both days of the world we have celebrations look on our website for all the details of schedule happy and happy Shabbat
