I have fond memories as a child sitting
by my mother's table and when an
interesting food would be brought out
and I would ask what is it mum she would
always answer it's delicious as if to
say you know I'm a good cook you know
that I want you to enjoy your food it's
gonna be good
trust me no need to ask you know when
Hashem offered the Torah to the nations
of the world and Mount Sinai they
responded by asking what's in it and
when they heard don't kill don't steal
don't commit adultery they said it's not
for us whereas the Jewish people did not
ask what's in it but they said the
wondrous words now say vanish ma we'll
do it and then we'll hear what it is
what is it that enabled the Jewish
people to accept the Torah so
unconditionally without asking what's in
it so we know that the Torah tells us in
part of Cicero the - am prepared the
Jewish people for the giving of the
Torah with the following words you have
seen what I did to MIT Ryan and then I
brought you out on eagle's wings and I
brought you to me and now if you will
surely listen to my voice and keep my
covenant you'll be more precious to me
than all the nations of the world for
all the world is mine you'll be a
priestly Kingdom and a holy nation as
Shem was saying you've seen how much
I've done for you how much I care for
you how much I love you trust me I'm
giving you something that's gonna make
you great that's going to give you
everything that you want and everything
you need and the Jewish people trusted
Hashem and with that trust they accept
the datura without asking what's in it
you know there are many reasons that we
have multics unsure us one of them is
the Torah itself is compared to milk as
it says in Song of Songs honey and milk
lie under your tongue and the tower is
compared to that
and just like a baby receives milk from
its mother
the one nutrient that feeds it sustains
it and aid and enables it to grow that
gives it all that it needs just the one
nutrients and it's delicious so - the
toner is the one thing that we need that
our spiritual growth that will sustain
us not nourish us and able to us to grow
and it's delicious and it comes as a
gift from our parents the creator of the
universe so when you have that
cheesecake ensures and it's delicious
realize it's compared to the Torah which
is so delicious that enables us to grow
gives us everything that we need
everything that we want that we too can
say now sevenish MA we wanted give it to
us a Shem because it's the greatest gift
that we can receive have a one for you
