Gateway To Tefilla : Treasures of Hodu - The 2nd Most Important Principle in the Torah

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay margaret said welcome everyone today's show on twitter is sponsored by our good friend rebecca rose of los angeles leonismas his brother sv ben levy yitzchak we're continuing in we mentioned that hoidu appears in the vehicle it was composed by david malach who gave it over to assaf to sing it in the mikdash upon the return of the orain and the first part of he do they sang by the tamid shall shachar and the second part of hoidu they sang by the tamid shel binhar bayam and we explained that might uh be a rationale for no fired of why they say haidu before psukila zimra because technically it's connected to carbonis but we move on in the tfila we explain haidu is not just gratitude but committing oneself to study the greatness elevation and the eminence of hashem kirubashma is the practice of the voice to be vayikra bashem hashem it's not enough to sing there has to be the right thoughts of you have to speak about all of hashem's wonders yes hashem last week we discussed the joy of seeking an hashem and now finally the question is who has to do this who the indians the the uh the native american indians have to thank hashem who has to thank hashem the eskimos so now the positive says zara israel the seed of israel his servants sons of jacob his chosen ones meaning the admonition of give thanks make known sing talk glory rejoice inquire seek remember these are addressed to zara yusuf abdullah and beneath so we have these obligations now here's the thing we're called zara israel why do we use the word zara says harav avigdor miller zakat levrakha a seed asher zaroy boya lemineo has its own kind meaning the seed has the dna of the progenitor and therefore because we're the seed of israel we resemble israel we resemble yaakov avinu we bear the characteristics and the virtues of our forefathers and because we have been bestowed all the greatness of the away sakadoshim we have the great obligation to especially thank hakadosh barco and part of that is you have to thank hashem that he made you zara israel that hashem ingrained in our spiritual dna the inherited traits of the others like says in person where khaim al-azhar is bothered why when we referred from nayak to avram he's called avram but when we talk about his tests he's called abraham avinu says because any test that the other is passed they bequeathed that spiritual attainment to their descendants so part of the gratitude we have to have to hashem is that he made us the zara avram he created us as vinayak this is something that we always have to show gratitude hashem now there's a safer called avoid of revelation i know i i've uh i could tell that you've been wanting to hear hidushem from the safer revelation so that's why it's on the sheet today and he has an amazing deok why does it appear why does it start i do la hashem kiribati and then like in middle of nowhere it says oh by the way you know who has to do all of this so he says like this let's count up hashem one kerub ii iii shirlai fourth command zamarullah fifth command see because of six command his hallelujah shame card chai seven yes rejoice eight dear shambo seek out god his strength and his might box you fun of tommet seek out his face always so these are 12 commands the twelve commands are commanded to zara is namely to the descendants the twelve shmatim these are twelve types of helulim to kining klingtashem who should cling the twelve swatim there's an amazing by the way the khidas yard side is coming up very soon who knows when the art site is i believe it's your aleph it's a good thing when we were by the hida last last january we went to about five times because you know it's been a while so we had to really uh store up but writes in that the tash baits taught that why is cloud why is israel called israel raise your hand if your name is israel hmm what somebody's raising their hands okay no no yesterday else raise your hand if you're a member of banay israel it's amazing all the people whose uh image i don't see it but they're raising their hands i could tell okay so the the chris says that the word israel is a russian tevo is for yakov yitzhak so the reason why we're called zara israel says that he does because all of claudia is marumas bineyako ibrahirov that's a remnant to the idea of the yaakov of vinos loy mace and now we come to one of the most interesting things i ever heard from brother victor miller i heard this from him personally he said who hashem eloykana this is the next pasta in haidu who hashem he is hashem our god in all the world are his judgment let's study this he is hashem what does it mean he is hashem the one who made all of these wonders and kindness to our forefathers the special name that we know him as eloy keno he's ours he's our god now that doesn't mean we own him it doesn't denote ownership says rav miller let's see over here not ownership merely denotes the object of the verb as opposed to jodino our hand which is possessive in the case of roy a new our shepherd it's a one-way relationship from the shepherd to us where ryanu the one who sees us so ya denu is it's a one-way relationship we possess the hand but the hand doesn't own us our god means he possesses us as his people and his servants who recognize his divinity as power and we possess him that he is our special god he gives us special hashtag practice and now we are about to come to the second most important principle in the entire torah you hear this we're about to come to the second most important principle in the whole torah who he is our god he gives us special protest and in that guys bahala smith in all the world are his judgments meaning whatever god does in the whole world anything that happens in the world whatever you read about in the news whatever you hear happens in the far-flung countries of the world he's doing it as aloi k knew our god that whatever happens in the world is only happening because of claudius trial listen this is a a a subject and a principle that we annunciate who hashem he is the lord our god and in that capacity he does everything in the world god does not let anything happen in iran only because of us whatever happens anywhere is only because of us says of miller in all the world as judgments although he's particularly devoted to us by his specific providence yet he judges and rules all the world but whatever he does in all the world he does as hashem our god for no misfortune comes upon the world except for the sake of israel you hear this nothing happens in the world there's a there's a disaster in the far east there's a tornado there's a tsunami there's a earthquake there's a volcanic eruption everything that happens in the world is only because of clarissa the gemara says in yevamas vinoys megalia you have a boat it's traveling from to spain israel will only be prosperous because of the sake of kalisa whatever happens in the world only happens because of kali strong he is our god and in the capacity of the especial god of israel bahala arthur everything in the world occurs because of that now what does it mean now listen to this this verse is the key to understanding all history whatever happened in any country in the world ever happened because of claudio israel so it could be a very noble activity to learn history provided that you know this principle so if you know in other words if you're going to study french history and english history but recognize and try to understand how it's all a setup in a backdrop for the jewish people so this is your you're studying the hand of akadeshwar this idea that whatever happens in the world happens on account of claudius is brought out by the briskerov from the gemara in the beginning of avoiding zara the gemara says inaudible in the future god's going to take a safer torah um he's going to put in his lap he's going to say to come to him and i said no no i don't like this uh disorder i only like orderly fashion you need to come in an orderly fashion so who comes first the gemara says rome comes first and what does rome do rome says my time of why rome is from the shiva um they're important the gemara brings araya that rome is the most khashev of all the ummahs and the gemara then proves that whoever is more kashif goes and stands in judgment before god so omar um god says to rome uh you learned tyra what did you learn you're learning you learned maharam shif what what exactly did you learn you learned mostly you learned shasta and poison what do you mean you learned you you made coliseums you wrestled with lions what do you mean you learned some harvest for the jewish people whatever you did you did for yourself you made stores to put your zoinoise you made uh bath houses to enjoy you gold and silver ah all the money is mine but you have no zeiss you have no torah so rome come leaves dejected then persia enters before god the gemara says persia is the next most harsh nation god says what torah did you learn you learned shout out to chivas abney nazar you learned salsa chuvas you learned what you learned already no persia says we made a lot of bridges and we waged a lot of wars and we did it all for israel to learn tairan said are you liar um he said no he says you fools shoot him you did it for yourself comes the brisker of and the riskrov asks a simple question was rome so fickle was rome so sinister that they could stand before god with a straight face and said yeah we built the coliseum so that the jewish people should learn torah yeah we made the bath houses so the jewish people could learn torah how do they have the chutzpah to say such an open lie or they're not they're not our cousins from the bene hagar you know how do they have such audacity to lie like this um and this is says riskarov this is in the future when all the woman is already know the truth and they market the ms there's no maka in the sheker then and they said we only did it only so that the jewish people should learn torah as if that's the only reason how could they lie before god in such an open overt fashion and um our rashiva ravanakh liboz asks why does god say to them you fools that's not he should say you liars he doesn't call them liars and the answer is because they're not lying and this is exactly what sigmar and ivamus has taught us who hashem alaikena bahala arasma whatever the nations of the world do is only for israel whatever they build whatever they construct whatever they plan every war they make every bridge they build is only for the tahlish that christos should learn torah and therefore that will all become clear and therefore the nations say with absolute sincerity and uh and genuineness and faithfulness god almighty now in the end of the days we see how you orchestrate that everything we did was to enable the jewish people to learn torah so we want to be rewarded and god doesn't say you're a liar god said you're a fool that's not what your kavanaugh was that wasn't your intention and if that wasn't your intention you ain't getting no reward the answer says the brisker of is the ms ain't the ramshacker cloud there's no falsehood at all and whatever they claim is true the gamakrish brothers god is not saying they're lying god is saying they're shaytim not chachronim and the explanation is that in the beginning of the bria god created the world for claudius soil and for the torah like rashi brings boracious bharali kimbeshwar toyras nicholas racist bishwil israel who are called racist tulasa so whatever happens and transpires and takes place in the world from the beginning of creation until the end of all the generations is only for one purpose that cloud israel can be oyster in torah just like borasha's bar like him everything that transpires in the world is only to enable and to facilitate claustral's learning of torah and even though the earth was given to man and each person could do whatever they want it's not a hefty world nothing that takes place in this world is for any other reason other than for the cloudy so to learn torah as the rambam says in his it's possible someone will build a beautiful palace and that palace will be there so that one time in the end of days someone will pass through who's the khasid and he'll need the shade of the palace to be able to learn torah everything in this world is to enable cloud israel to learn torah and all the stores they make and all the bridges they build and all the bath houses they construct isla tackles that claudio should be able to be engaged in learning torah there's nothing that's not for this tactless but we don't know what the we don't see the tactile where the truth will become revealed and the world will become full of knowledge then this calculation will become evident why they did everything and the um will say and realize and recognize yeah in fact we wage world war one world war ii the korean war the vietnam war the six day war it's all so that we could build and facilitate and enable and somehow have a role in klaus learning of torah and they're going to say ubuntu now that we see we did it for that we want to be rewarded and hashem says you're not a liar but you're a fool that you think you can be rewarded you did it for yourself so i'll ask you so what they did it for themself but at the end of the day they helped us out apparently it's like having negative kavanagh what happened and what i brought about through your actions that's my husband but you were doing it for yourselves and therefore you don't get any reward so this is an illustration of the idea who hashem eloy keno he is hashem our god and in that capacity everything that transpires in the world is in the capacity of hashem ali keno one last idea from the sephirah siachitak rabitskhak meltzen he has an interesting teaching here and that is he says claudius has two miles one because of our yichus from the others and the second one is were these are two different concepts why did god select us why did god pick us he says you don't love someone or choose someone without any reason now if you're going to say it's because of our righteousness the possibility says lord sid kaskov but if it's not because of our righteousness so then why did god pick us interesting question why did god select us you can't say it's because of our merit because god says it's not because of your merits so what is it because the ramban explains god selected us from all the nations that to be a segula and ramban says god loves you because you've displayed you're more worthy of being loved but it doesn't say the reason one is selected by a lover if he knows that the one who he loves can suffer and tolerate his love no matter what the faithfulness the reason why god selected us is because of our tenacity that claudius has the ability to say o yehudi solav either be a jew when we're put to the ultimate test of either denounce your judaism are you going to be killed we say either a jew or kill me the reason why god picked the jew it's not because we're more righteous more honest more kind-hearted the says the reason guys selected us is because through sick or through thin no matter what we're willing to give up our life and either kill me or i have to be a jew and if god sees his love for us is something that we will never give up on that makes us worthy of being binay yaakov so this is the concept of in the whole world are his judgments in the venue in the guise of hashem keno the second most important principle in the torah but nobody asked me the the most important question was the first thank you very much there you go this is the second most important principle in the torah that everything hashem does is for claudia israel what's the most important principle in the time the most important principle is god created the world ex creation of the world that god created the world the first the most important principle in the torah is creation ex nihilo the second most important principle in the torah is god's interest is only in the jewish people have a wonderful shabbos agun and a wonderful shabbos and not only a regular dash but a wonderful shabbos [Music] you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
