Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Devarim - Shabbat Chazon. Why the Struggle?

welcome to this week's Torah list this week's Torah portion is pasius dvorim the question of the week is why the struggle so in this week's Torah portion parishes the volume the Torah begins in a unique way because normally in the Torah it says God spoke God said and here it says these are the words what does it mean Ayla these are the words so it's explained that the Torah is teaching us that these words will be starting the the fifth of the five books of Moses which repeats and reviews everything from before is teaching us every time we repeat something every time we study again we should study as if we're learning something brand new as if God is giving us now the first time why do we need to learn in a way that God is giving us as the first time is because we know that every single day we work hard we study Torah we pray we do mitzvot then we get tired so we go to sleep so what happens is tomorrow's a new day so when the new day comes we have to renew the energy and Ayla learning as if we're learning it the first time so there ever asked a simple question God obviously created the world and created us now we have to sleep and because we have to sleep that's what we have to learn it again from new why don't he just make it that we don't have to sleep and then we continue studying we have to create new energy that's question number one all for this week what is Travis causing we know it's the Shabbos that we get to see the the new base of McDonald's the Third Temple and the questioner ever asked one second right now we're under three weeks we're dealing with the three weeks of mourning and destruction a matter of fact hazon is called based on the prophet it's talking about Calamity is going to happen to the Jewish people and he prophesized so now is not the time to show us the base of mcdosh after Tish above once we're past the destruction now we should see the base of ignos but why do we have it now because we know there's a rule in Judaism you read that in others we ultimately we want to have all the upgrades in life but sometimes you have to have the arena you have to have the ground downgrade to go to the upgrade and since we know everything from Hashem is good God is good and everything he done is good so the urea the downgrade is for the big upgrade does you ever ask the same question why does God have to make it in a way that you have to have you read a downgraded struggle and then have the allele you can mind on the creditors you can do something very powerful he says like this if you live give a look in the beginning of the Torah when God created the world so he said like it was good was good and the day that he didn't miss didn't say it was good the next day he said it twice so God created a beautiful world however after God created the world what did he says God created the world for us to do in other words God's wants us to be partners with him in creation God wants us to be magadish to create new energy in the world and there's something powerful that's that that happens when we create with God and when we create something new so if God really wants from us is to create something new and that's why God made it that we have to sleep because if you were up the whole time you never slept you would be you're coming out in this you become boring you go to sleep and now you got to restart against that creates new energy in the morning and the same thing also the three weeks yes during the destruction we saw you the temple because the show that within the destruction you create new energy and the ultimate goal is that the the Third Temple is going to be much greater than the first and the second and that's the power of losses we're here to do and we're here to do more so to answer the question why the struggle the struggle is so we can be partners with God lasso is to make the world a greater place and a better place and will ultimately receive and Achieve Great and Powerful blessings and Revelations thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lessons dedicated to memory of baruchara May their souls be elevated by Torah was studying in their memory have a great and blessed week shavua Tove for more information please see our website chabadswf.org
