Beha'aloscha : Humility Engenders Greatness {Yeshiva Gedolah of Montreal 3rd Grade}

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com yeah okay good morning everyone what an honor it is to be here in uh rabbi klein's class i know the rebbe probably shared many devre torah and i was so happy when the rebbe said he even put on a shear that was given in yeshiva torah and the rebbe played it over here so i want to share with you an interesting question you know maisha abenu was the greatest person who ever lived why why was he the greatest person i've ever lived i know you all know the answer but you can't talk now so but i could just i could just read your minds he could say but what meda did maestra beno excel in more than anybody else he was the most humble person who ever lived you know what humility is he didn't boast about himself he didn't he made himself small and because he made himself small hashem elevated him to the highest madrega in velajna writes the smaller a person thinks of themselves the more space there is for the torah to fill them up so that's how much habeno became so great but we find a similar thing by really all the gedale israel you know who wrote the mishnah who redacted the mishnah did anybody know who wrote the mishnah i could see you all know rabbi and you know what the mishna says in saita misha mais rabbi but that when ravi passed away there were no more humble people so the rebbe was the greatest humble person and that's why he became so great another another who wrote this brings then the generation rabbi yosef karo there were two other gadolim who could have wrote a similar type of safer to the shogunath but the reason why hashem gave the privilege to rabiose of caro is because he was the most humble so we see that through anivos through humility by making yourself small asha makes you great and that's why hashem gave the torah on harsinai because harcinae was the smallest of all the mountain so i always wondered but there's a very big mountain and this very big mountain was chosen for a very important thing where is the basa mikdash in uh on a water on a ocean on a river on a field where is the base of makdash it's on a mountain and is it a big mountain or a small mountain now the gemara says the biggest mountain in the world because it's the highest spot in the world all arizona is the highest land in the world and average israel yerushalayim is the highest spot and of islam the highest part is the harabayas but i thought hashem only gives the torah to maishabeno because he made himself very small and to rabbi huda hanosi because he was the most humble of all the tanayam and rabbi yosef karo because he was so humble and that's why hashem chose harsinai so why did hashem choose haramari it's the toast of all the mountains what is something very interesting it wasn't always a mountain when avram came to the akedah and he says hashem what there was nothing there nothing there's nothing there zero nothing at all and said hashem why why are you resting on nothing so hashem said okay fine and hashem gave a shout and all the land gathered together and it turned into a mountain but really it started off nothing even less than harshinai because it's very interesting there were three great people who were humble the gemara says avraham avinu said i'm the anointing ashes dustin ashes are small it's not very valuable but it's still something and david mel says i'm like a worm a worm is not like the it's not like a a dinosaur you know but it's uh it's small but it's still something but what did moisture beno say ma i'm nothing so harsinai it's like dust it's small har ha maria is even less than that it was a mokko and there was nothing at all and that's why perhaps har maria was selected to be the place where the base of mikdair stands but i'm going to tell you another secret you know that when hashem gave the torah to claudius what mountain did he give it on harsina yeah but actually the balaturam says and this is how we understand the baatum hashem took har hamuriya out of yushalayim he brought it to harsina and he made a sandwich you ever have a harhama riyahar harsinai sandwich very delicious yeah so hashem gave the torah he sandwiched us between harahamoria and harsinai because these are the two most humble men harsinai was small hamarea was even less than that har maria was nothing at all and this is a very important mida that as much as we learn and as great as we become we always have to understand that whatever we have is a gift from our college baruch and we shouldn't think of ourselves too great and if somebody steps on your toe and you're like why are you doing that to me you should think what am i i'm not so important i'm important that i could learn torah and i'm important that i kadava and i'm poor like examples hashem but me personally i'm very small i'm like harsinai i'm like maria and the more humble we become the greater hashem will elevate us i want to give you all my humble bracha that you should be able to learn from your great rebbie for many many more days and even next year you should come over to i said rebbe you know you taught me so much torah last year thank you so much and then when you become bar mitzvah you should go back to your review and say now i review all the amazing things you told me and even when you become 40 years old and 50 years old and 60 years old and maybe one day you'll become goddamn israel you always have to go back to your rebbe and say rebbe thank you for what you taught me in third grade i wouldn't have gotten anywhere without you so we're gonna give a round of applause for the rebels and thank you very much great to see you welcome thank you thank you everybody thank you you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
