What Happens When A Jew Follows The Torah?

[Music] what happens with the Jew when he has a relationship with a KES Jews are above nature if you're following if you're doing it's like the second passage of what the shama says when you read the shama every day that you're going to see things in the right time have special help from Hashem that your sins are going to take away from that your Mitzvah are going to add to that righteousness and virtue has a special relationship that when Jews are together and Jews are building a life with Hashem together with their families and Jews are observing together the amount of Divine Providence on you increases inim rambam asks a question he says what is a dead person is a dead person something where Hashem is continuously creating that body as being dead or does ROM ask is it a case where there's a dead body and the Divine Providence that's shining on this body or person basically shrank to zero it's the second case the complete closure of Divine Providence on that body and without the divine presence the body it collapses it's the absence of divine presence which causes it to be dead with the divine presence in your life and in the temple and the land you're going to have things that are above nature because there's more Divine Providence on you the more holy you can make yourself and the only way to make yourself holy is by learning Torah and doing the Mitzvah the first Mitzvah in the Torah is to know Hashem and the way that you know Hashem is by learning his ordinances and the only way to go up this ladder and to increase Holiness where you can start to see an increase in the amount of Divine Providence that's shining on you is to really get into for learning where you're learning every detail of every mitz even alelos even par even T and toor these are part of the 613 mitzvot every single one is important we don't know which halaha is more important than the other when we're going to do something and we have to pursue everyone because Hashem wants us to do 613 MIT vot the Torah says it is not far from you on the contrary it's very close to you this is very close to you but you have to be learning the details the Jew when they're performing Torah and Mitzvah and they're learning what that is so they can do it how they're going to have special help from hasem and is going to bring them above what would be for the normal world for nature for everyone else Rabbi kuna is talking about the productivity of the land the land is called the land of milk and and honey an incident occurred in which a certain person tied a goat to a fig tree and left it for a time and when he returned he found a pool of honey from the figs and milk from the goat's udder mixed together the land is like it flows with milk and honey basically here the honey that dripped from the figs and the milk that dripped from the utters of the goat were mixed together and this is a literal fulfillment of this biblical verse this is showing you that in every single aspect things that you couldn't believe what happened in nature that if you're a Torah observant Jew you're learning what is theft you're learning chosen Mish poot you're trying to guard your tongue you're learning the laws of proper speech from the book of the hit High every day you're really trying to understand each one of the 613 Ms vot that you are going to get things coming in different directions that are going to literally be fulfillment of biblical verses you talk about a fig tree and you talk about honey and you say wow I have these big fruit trees that have amazing fruit and it drips honey that's from this One Direction and then you're saying wow I have these unusual animals that produce so much milk and that's from another way each one is above nature this kind of fruit trees is above nature and this kind of animals above nature and it's even bigger than that because this animal that is above nature and this tree that's above nature comes together for this Fusion of something in this event that's even bigger and above that that's what rabbi Puna is trying to say about the Jews who are going to be observing in order to do it you need to be part of a community that is going to be following the Torah and abod hasem you can also get things that are above nature Square just like this farmer had the tree that was above nature and the Goat that was above nature and the combination of these things that were above nature above nature where it's like this Square to event that you can get this too there's no limit to Hem Hem controls all the silver and gold Rabbi yanan says the leavings of the Harvest that we ate in our youth were better than the prime peaches we ate in our old age for in my days the world changed where as the people were sitting the owners okay they could see the quality of the fruit from the same trees that the owners possessed went down in quality these people who were eating these fruits were saying and they applied the verse to the tree God turns a fruitful land into a salty waste because of the evil of its inhabitants and they attributed the diminishment of the fruit to the sins of the tree owners because the people are sinning the quality of their work product is going down the quality of the fertility the land is going down and they can see in their lifetime the degradation why because the farmers themselves are not following the Torah law at an ever increasing rate a teaching from Reby that emphasizes the difference between the land's former fruitfulness and its present lack they inquired before rebi what is the meaning of that which is written this by the way and Mara gives this verse another meaning pertaining to the land's diminished productivity the seeds have rotted beneath the shovels and he said to them the word is to be understood according to the alternative meaning of in place of the verse really is saying says rebi in place of that which we once shoveled honey meaning the juices that flowed from the fruit of such abundance we now shovel rotness the fruit and seeds that roted for the land has deteriorated and no longer produces as it once did if you're not following the Torah the second half of the second part of the shma prayer which is that if you obey you're going to get blessing and if you disobey all the things that's going to happen to you and so in the very same place with the very very same produce where they were once shoveling honey had to shovel this fruit because there was so much of it was even more like honey and sweet and so it's this compounding thing it's this idea of the word Braha which has this generative idea to it that it it grows and grows again and grows again at an increasing rate that's the word and the idea of Braha you're shoveling so much fruit and each one of these fruit is like something that's so delicious like honey and now the curse has come and the curse is Decay at a decaying rate at an increasing rate as well so now they're shoveling rottenness not only for the fruit and not only for the seed but that it's so much rotness and it's rotten it's this deterioration and why because the Jews got away from learning Torah they got away from the details the Torah commands us to guard the ordinances do not guard the ordinances it warns us do not add or subtract if you start to say things like parent don't matter you start to say things like ah whatever I don't need to separate trus and Meer so much and you start to make fun of the sages this is what happens to you and this is what happens to your land you end up with curses this is a key for Parisa for all of us the real master that's in charge of all the silver and gold is a KES baru as a person we have to connect and the more we connect with the go hasem the more that we do Torah this is trying to show us that you're are going to have more and more blessing not just blessing in a linear way but in an exponential way the human mind is not good at understanding exponential growth this idea of braa where it's an exponential growth two goes to four 16 goes to 54 this is trying to teach us that you're going to get special help from Hashem in everything that you touch and you do but if you're sinning you have to pay for your sins and it's going to take away if you're going to be like a Boni where you're going to be doing some Mitzvah and you're going to be doing some sins you're going to get some reward for your mitos but you're also going to be taken away for your sins you're going to pay for your sins it's going to hold you back so you have to stay away from sin and you have to learn tourus so that you can get this kind of blessing too and you can you can see a big change in your parasa theem is going to give you special help if you're doing what you're supposed to do as a Jew have a great day
