it's time for rabbi Minko it's weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi Mingo 'its welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
is partially knee the question of the
week is how can you be passionately
connected in all areas of your life so
in this week's Torah portion partially
knee we find something profound on one
hand we're opening up with ie by Amish
meanie it was a very very powerful and
special day it was the eighth day of the
dedication of the temple seven days they
put up the temple and took it down on
the eighth day it remained there
standing strong tremendous miracles
happen that they fire came down from
heaven the story with mother vanity you
have passed away because they were in
such a high so the Jewish people are
experiencing the greatest Heights
nevertheless at the end of the Torah
portion of deals with pure and impure
animals up until the point of the laws
of kashrut of repulsive and crawling
creatures so the Rebbe asks a simple
question in the same Torah portion
Paresh meanie which the name resembles a
powerful day and powerful things
happened and that same Torah portion we
are learned and taught about repulsive
and crawling creatures and impure
creatures so the Rebbe comes up with
powerful phenomenon he says like this
ultimately as a baseline as an
introduction to anything that we do
there has to be a recognition as the
torah portion tells us and nia sharma
location I am God your God what does
that mean when it says I am God your God
it's setting the tone and setting the
stage that we need to accept the fact
the only reason why we are here and
anything exists in the world is because
of God Hebrew it's called Kabbalah all
in English accepting the fact that God
is the creator and runs the world once a
person accepts the fact that God is the
creator and the runs the world then
whether you're celebrating by yelling
hush meanie there's great day when fire
is coming down from heaven or you're
dealing with impure animals and
repulsive and quarreling creatures as
introduction you have to remember Annie
Hashanah location I am God you got that
the power that anything exists and stays
in existence comes from God
therefore every year of your life from
the biggest to the smallest what is the
underlying power that Hashem runs the
world and if a sham runs the world
whether it's the greatest thing you're
dealing with or the biggest struggle the
passion is the same because you are in a
relationship with God and realizing that
God runs the world so to answer the
question how can you have passion every
area of your life is to realize that
ultimately God runs the world God
created the world that maintains the
world and whatever you're busy with from
the most lofty ideas to most simple
ideas remember that you are involved in
God's world and working with God to make
the world a better place
