Shiur @ NCSY Girls Event

Good evening to everybody. A huge thank you to everybody for coming. A thank you to Tally and Liora for arranging and just really appreciated before Shavuos together to come together and gather. It's a big deal. Specifically on Rosh Chodesh, specifically today. Today is the day we came to the midbar to Sinai. Today is literally the day we came to midbar Sinai. It's interesting that it could be we should it could be Tally and Liora like we shouldn't it could be we should just like I should leave and everybody should schmooze and have a good time. The day we came to the to the desert, the day we came Hello Mrs. Grohman. The day we came to midbar Sinai, Hashem did nothing with us. We rested. Tirecha derech we were we were just tired from the journey and we rested. We sat there and we just relaxed. And day number two is when Hashem taught us va'atem tihiyu li mamleches kohanim vegoi kadosh. Tomorrow's called the Yom Hamiyuchas. When Hashem promised us we're going to be like incredibly special. That's on the second day. That's Monday. So today was a day of relaxing. Tirecha derech. Now everything in Torah is saying something. It's not just a historical quirk. We were tired day one so we relaxed. The first step of Kabbalas HaTorah is everybody relax. Tirecha derech we relaxed. That's the first step. I'm not starting to speak and I actually want to meet everybody here and say Mrs. Grohman's here her children I love her children. Myish Grohman, Mechi Grohman. Amazing amazing children. The first step is hello. Hello everybody. This my rebbe and today my rebbe. My rebbe today tomorrow knows my rebbe today. Welcome tomorrow. Thank you. My rebbe today the first day of this man two bachurim are very stark. And day one, they were both learning, he came up sweetly and closed their gemaras. Said, "First meet each other. First shmooze, first talk. I don't want ever a rebbe to walk in and teach Torah. Walking day one and just start teaching. No, no, it's not how it works. No, no, no, not how it works. They're people. I asked my children when they learn with their havrusas, first say good morning, how are you, shmooze a bit. I don't even if you're running late. First meet, say hello, get to know each other. There's Torah haderech, they're human beings. Torah is a shidduch of a yid and Torah, Torah and the yid. Day number one, we didn't we didn't do anything. They were people, people arrived. Bayos chassidim, if you have a minyan of people, minyan minyan and they come and they daven, we call that a minyan chitzoni, a parody of a minyan. It's an imitation. A real minyan is a group of people who like each other. They come together, they enjoy. Klal Yisrael be Har Sinai, day one, there was no shiur. None. What did we do? Klal Yisrael rested. We met each other, we shmoozed, we caught up a lot of hugs day one. Today was a day like people were meeting. There's a sugya of how to learn Torah, they're people and feeling yourself and relaxing and then a connecting and relating. There's a person first. And a person who learns Torah and the shidduch of Klal Yisrael with Torah to the point that day one just start with there's people. There's people learning Torah, the the yid Yisrael varaisacha it's a shidduch, chasuna of a yid. A big part of the preparation for Kabbalas HaTorah is respecting people, making space for people, knowing there's an Ami Srol. And then that should have Ami Srol tires. So the resting resting. It's interesting. I'm coming from the car. I just came from Waterbury. And I first like need to land. It's good. I'm happy Mrs. Grobman's here. Tomorrow is I'm thankful everybody's here. Thank you. It's an honor to be here. It's a joy to be here to study Torah. But first thing is the guys always ask me for a basketball team. Every team plays seven home games, seven road games. The Wolfpack play 14 road games. Nobody comes to Connecticut, so we play all road games. The guys always ask me we can't come right out of the van and start playing ball right away. It doesn't work. First you got to land. You got to be present. You got to That's the first thing. There's a Sugya of the of a travel of first making sure you're present. You're here. It's very important to me before Shiurim, it's important to me people are shmoozing first. The room sounded nice before I walked in and it's important. People meet each other. People are shmoozing. How often does the group get together? Could somebody tell me how often? Once a week. Really? Yes, once a week. And always here once a week? >> In one of the areas, yeah. That's amazing. That's amazing. So once a week it's called what? What's it called? >> 4G. 4G. >> Mishmar. That's amazing. And what happens you a normal week?

I want to meet everybody, but then we won't start learning. So Ahava representing everybody here. You live in Cedars, Ahava? Yeah. Fantastic. Fantastic. So nice to meet you. So once a week what happens normally? The best thing. Oh my gosh. Everyone gets together and just like learning, but like there's also food. So it's like chill, it's good vibes, but best thing >> So because of me there's no food, I feel bad. >> [laughter] >> There's normally food? Yeah. What you can have you take one of the water bottles.

Is that where Is that okay for that That deserves a cheer. That's Fantastic. Fantastic. Excellent. Excellent. It's interesting in Yeshiva, I'll tell you a an interesting thing about day number one today that I I went my wife and I was were asked to go with the girls school on a Shabbaton and after the Friday night meal, that was the first speech, like should be the first formal speech. And I'm at the school men well, they had teachers circulating in the crowd. Like four teachers like shh, make sure everybody's quiet. And four teachers I It was like I'm standing up at a podium, four teachers going around. I asked the principal if I could speak to her for a minute privately. I didn't want to hurt anybody. I didn't want to embarrass everybody meant well. Here. But I I asked the teacher if they would mind if if she doesn't mind that I there's not a learning environment. If you could ask Don't embarrass anybody. Just call the teachers that you have something to tell them. And that's not a I would rather people schmoozing, making noise, throwing spitballs is more of a learning environment. Tirecha derech Hashem says day one he didn't come and they weren't Everybody is like comfortable. It was a learning environment. If anybody knows big thinkers, you have pictures of big thinker like cream It's not how you think. You think a lot of big thinkers listen to music when they think? Your best thoughts are relaxed. Says Shma Yisrael, learning needs a calmness, needs a Yishuv HaDaas. To think, to contemplate, needs a certain calm and relaxed. That was all part of day one of coming to Har Sinai. That Am Yisrael, I want you. You're my people, you're good people. Relax. Everybody shmooze, get to know each other. I once had a very fancy man people packed Yeshiva all the time. Tomorrow comes all to anybody's invited. So people come. So a very like prestigious guy came and he saw like a bachur was don't tell on me, but he was the guy during the lecture was like he was blowing What What's that called? Um not a cigarette, what's um a vape. He was like vaping in my face. He wanted me to taste also someday. We were like vaping together. So a prestigious guy said, "During the shiur?" But I I want them to know what Torah is. There's not We're not learning science together. They're people bonding. There's Am Yisrael, there's Limudei Torah. It's comfortable. That's what Torah is. It's people. There's space for people. It's so cool that we came for this precious gift today. And day one and people rested, Derech Eretz. There was a certain There was space and comfortable. And my daughter loves a certain teacher. Tomorrow my daughter are best friends and I daughter loves a certain teacher that she feels is like room in the There's like space in the room for the girls, for their thoughts, for their So then they're people bonding and learning and studying. That's the environment of Torah and that's reflected that on day one there was space for Derech Eretz. Everybody relaxed. They We didn't run and jump into it. There were people meeting and uniting. So I thank Ahuva for introducing herself and being the one that this our own I just came from So, first I got to say hello to somebody is appreciated. What I want to study, the main thing I want to study with everybody here is the following the following concept I want to study. I also afterwards will will I want to hear questions. I'd love to hear thoughts, but I want to study as follows. During all the Torah all the nations of the world freak out and they run to build them the prophet of the guy in and they say there's a model in the world we could feel it. There's I'm very into vibes and feeling and sensing as you could feel things. Places have a feel, have a sense, there's a vibe, there's there's an energy, people have an energy. And the all my is during Torah they say, "Help! There's a destruction." is being a model I promise the world's being destroyed. The all my is who had gone through way before you're talking about it was old ancient history there was a model. And yet by Torah the nations freaked and they said, "I'm telling you a model's coming. There's destruction. There's a model coming to the world." Bilhah who was a prophet and knew what was going on calmed the world down and he said always I'm sure I'm giving tired of calling you so. Don't worry. He's just giving tired of calling you so. What's that conversation? DESTRUCTION THE WORLD'S IT'S BEING DESTROYED. It's we're all done. And Bilhah says, "No, you're misreading. I'm just giving tired of calling you so." I beg the girls here not superficial. Don't be superficial people. Don't be. The superficial thing is it was such a rash, such a turmoil, they heard Klauss rock him. There was a turmoil. So the turmoil is destruction. So no, it's not destruction. You're mixed up. It's just Hashem's giving tired of Klauss's throat. That's it's true, but it's way too shallow. Cuz if it was just a mix-up, it's not forever in time. It's not recorded in our Torah forever. There's some truth happening. The guy I'm saying, "Whoa, destruction." No, Hashem's just giving us Torah. Something's happening. Something's going on. That conversation is powerful. Destruction or Torah? It's interesting. I was with my family in my in my in my sukkah. We were singing. We're singing beautiful songs. We had very kishkes mirrors people were there. We were singing and the cops came by. The sukkah's outside. And the cops came by. I live in my backyard is a forest. And the cops came by that on the other side of the forest is like a goyish neighborhood and two families called the police. Seems there was some movie in the summer of people singing and they were like resurrecting the dead. I don't know. They were murders going on and they said they heard like these spiritual connotations in the forest. They're freaking out. And the cop was laughing. They came he enjoyed this mirrors a lot the cop. Two families called the cop. Religious connotations in the forest. Now being a Hasidic she did I don't take it lightly when people come. The cops came. I took it that big things are happening in the sukkah. The present United States said to Claudius Thrall to keep Shabbos this past week. No seed of sheed will just be okay. I'm like I'm mesmerized. I'm working on Shabbos right now. I would like to come earlier to Shabbos be ready earlier. To me it's wild. It's wild. The president United States, we hung it up in Yeshiva's declaration. He asked, it's unheard of, it's unfathomable. The president Somebody could say the Torah says keep Shabbos. What do we care? Hashem kings have very little bechira, very. Laden Malachim be Malachim. Kings have practically no bechira. It's psukim. And a melech says something is God speaking from the mouth of a king. The president is not a melech. The president of the United States says to the country, "Yidden keep Shabbos." It's unheard of. Now, you might call this a coincidence. Whose yahrtzeit is tonight? The Minchas Elozar, the first the great great Munkatcher Dayan his yahrtzeit tonight. Now, the Munkatcher Dayan and it happens to be my family has a connection. The first house I ever my parents ever bought was the Munkatcher Dayan's granddaughter. Who happened to have lived in Five Towns. That's the first house my parents bought. The Munkatcher Dayan was making a chasuna in Europe and Fox News was covering the chasuna. They sent of Yidden and all Yidden flew from America. So, Fox News thought it was a thing of interest and they were covering this Munkatcher chasuna. The the the Minchas Elozar's granddaughter is getting married. So, they had an interviewer put something The the Minchas Elozar was like a kodish elyon, a holy man. And they put a mic to the Minchas Elozar. Somebody said, "Rebbe, you're talking to tens of thousands of Yidden in America." He said, "I'm talking to Yidden." He started trying Yidden in famous video. We have it today. You can go You can You can check online. The Menucha Salaver begging Yidden tired of breathing, "My precious brothers and sisters in America, keep Shabbos." Munkatcher dying famous. He had a video to his face and somebody said, "Thousands of Yidden are listening to you." He said, "Yidden, be careful Shabbos. His Yahrtzeit's tonight." 93 years ago. It's Yahrtzeit's tonight. A coincidence the president of the United States this Shabbos says, "Keep Shabbos." This past Shabbos, the week the Munkatcher dying said to America, "My brethren America, keep Shabbos." I'm not a guy who quickly believes There's no word coincidence. Cut incidence. An incidence from Hashem. Cut incidence, not coincidence. Amazing. Pretty remarkable. But us Hasidim like if a guy if anybody says something that's Hashgacha, that's We hear things that was meant The police came to my house and said like people neighbors called, "I hear that big things are going on." We're singing Yidden are singing Zemiros in the Sukkah. Crazy stuff's going on. They were right. So, what is this? The say the umos say Hashem's destroying the world and Bilam says no Torah is being given. And it's very obvious that the world's being changed for sure. What's another name for Har Sinai? Har Chorev. Chorev means destruction. There's a new world, the world of Torah. A deep world. Really a new world. A new world order. The human being has Torah. A new Hashra'as Haschina. An elevation for the world to the point that the said the world's being destroyed. They weren't off. It's a new It's a new world. What you know of is changing is being elevated. Bilam said, "Don't worry about this destruction. Hashem always I might end is giving tired to his people and they're going to elevate the entire world. It's going to be different." The always upon hearing Bilhams comfort said, "Hashem you are so amazing Hashem should give Shalom to me now." Now, why was that the response that Hashem gave us tired? The always said, "Oh, Hashem gave tired. Hashem you are so amazing Hashem should give us Shalom." Hashem should give us Shalom. Why was that the I have been singing these weeks leading up to Shavuot the song Hashem always I might end Hashem you are so amazing can we I should leave for an hour or two and you should sing it? But Hashem you are why was that the response to Hashem tired? Hashem you are so amazing Hashem should give us Shalom. Why was that the response? So, I want to share Why was that the response to something I want to think about that the always bench class really should have peace you should have Shalom amongst your people. That was the response to hearing Hashem always I might end Hashem is giving us tired. So, I want to talk tonight to all the girls to every to all the women and the girls to all of us to me. I want to talk and think about the following topic. I want to speak about a year whose name is Boaz. Now, Boaz means Bo eyes. There's eyes and what's eyes is tired strength. Hashem always I might end gave us strength. Strength is tired. Boaz there's a man whose name is in him is strength. In him is tired. He encapsulates tired. He is tired Boaz. I want to talk about Boaz and all of class really on Shavuot reads the Megillah Ruth and one of the great heroes of Megillah Ruth besides Ruth, the great Sadiq Ema shel Malchus Ruth, one of the heroes is Boaz. Now Ruth is the ultimate outsider. She's a convert. She comes from the outside world. She's poor beyond. She chooses poverty, a life of poverty. She's collecting leket in the fields. She's literally picking up pieces of wheat not that her and her mother-in-law shouldn't starve. She's a convert and she's and she's now Mona. She's a widow. She has everything that would be typically the outsider, the ultimate. She's the outsider squared. An outsider by way of being a convert. She's new to our community. An outsider by being poor and impoverished, down and out, mommies on the floor picking up leket. She's an outsider. A husband whose task is to bring his wife and children to the community, to connect, to be part. She her husband passed. She was a widow. All these challenges of being the outsider. And Boaz, the Sadiq, the one of the great one of the greats of our people, this great leader of our people marries Ruth. And all of cloudy Israel read the story of Ruth on Shavuot and Boaz. This person who's marked as Tyra in him, there's eyes that strengthen him. He's the picture of eyes of strength, Boaz. Boaz that strengthen him, that's Tyra in him. Who is this person who's marked his very name is this the he has Torah in him. It would be very kind of study by us. And the main thing we're taught about by us and all of us would read is he pulls in the outsider. I love the story. I love the story. Boaz marries Ruth and Ruth becomes the epitome of the insider. David Hamelach, the Melech of Klal Yisrael, the shpitz, the epitome of our people sat on his throne and right next to him was another throne and Ruth would sit on that throne. She was Ema shel Malchus, the patriarch the matriarch of Am Yisrael. She had a throne designed for herself and right next to Hamelach. She's the ultimate insider. When you walked into you were shaking like a leaf. Hamelach who ruled over the entire world, the whole known world bowed to Hamelach. Right next to him was a throne and Ruth sat on that throne. She was the epitome of the insider, but her start was the outsider. She was a geyores. She was poor. She was an almanah. And Boaz, the man who represents this Torah in him, he's a piece of Torah. Boaz, this Torah in him, he pulls in the outsider. And what I want to express that I think it's one of the great ideas of Torah, but I want to go into it a little bit. One of the great ideas Tosefta in Kiddushin says that it's 36 times in Torah is to pull in the outsider. Pull in the outsider, ahavas hager. Don't be a literalist. When it says in the Torah to love the ger, certainly a ger or geyores is valuable, is precious. The Gemara says we went to galus to pick up Geirim. Geirim Geirim is Geirim is the best thing in the world, nothing like it. But Hashem says pulling Geirim pulling the Geirim is MEANS WHEREVER YOU HAVE standing in any way where you are cool, there's something called cool, it's a reality. Everybody has places where you have standing, take your standing and pull the next person in. That's like Tyra 101 basic of Yiddishkeit. Basic Avos HaGeirim, wherever you're comfortable, wherever you belong, your shul, your house, you have a social standing. You're successful, wherever you're successful, use your platform and pull in. Pull in, include. One of the heroes of my life, my wife and I lost our rebbe a few years ago and we were like in the dark for years till Hashem sent us recently a new rebbe. But we had a year of Schleima Gessinger, one of the lights of my life. My wife and I we dated, we went to him, he helped us with our shidduch and remain important questions of our life, we trusted him with everything. We would ask this of Gessinger. There's a book about him, he's one of the most beautiful Yid I've ever met in my life. And Reb Schleima Gessinger was somebody who was massively respected, everybody looked up to him. A Talmud Chochom of note. But I want to say what drew me to him is his standing, he had a community of a very eclectic group. He had people from out from all different countries and places and things. His coolness, he was respected, he was appreciated, he drew in thousands. His standing was used for everybody around him in crazy ways, that's what drew me to him, that point. And why I is it called Boaz? Cuz of a metzius that he drew in the outsider, and the outsider became the insider, who came from Rashi and the Malachim. Do you know this is the mid of Malchus? Malchus means a melech it says is less than anything. A melech doesn't have of his own. He's all about the people. It says about David Hamelach his heart is the heart of the nation. He's just about the people David Hamelach. He's a man of the masses. All of Klal Yisrael, all our collective hearts, our worries, our thoughts, we all like tune in to tell them David Hamelach's prayers. David Hamelach's the Kapitelach he wrote, David Hamelach is all about the nation. He's the unifier of our people. The one who brings everybody in the one who includes Am Yisrael. How cool is it that Boaz marries Ruth? The ultimate act of pulling in, of inclusivity, of not saying "Woah, that's not a shidduch for me." You know Boaz is the godol b'Yisrael. And she's from Moab, the most despised people. Could you imagine you red a shidduch to a nice guy in BMG? The girl's name is Rachel or Hitler. I mean she's a good girl, I'm telling you. She's different than her family. A shidduch? I don't know what That's what That's Ruth comes from Moab. Moab's despised in our people, but she's a tzadekes. And Boaz pulls in, she's a Yid. She's a Yid, she's one of us. He pulls in, he marries her. And from that union comes David Hamelach, who's the heart of the whole people, who pulls in the entirety. His heart is the heart of our people. He unifies, brings together the entirety of our people. That's where David Hamel comes from. Boyas with Ruth pulling in. But I want to say as follows. And here is where the guys have changed my life in Yeshiva. I would tell anybody in Waterbury, I'd give a fiery speech, pull in, pull in. The question is why don't we? I could come tonight and say girls, let's pull in, pull in, pull in the next person. Don't push away. Hashem you've already found me by shalom. We need peace. We need to be unified our people. We need there's no extras, there's no spare parts. So pull in. So I can come tonight and say to everybody here, please, each girl, I go I beg you, I beg every woman, every pull in, include everybody. SAVE THIS LEFTISH, ASK US, NO EXCEPTION, NONE. POOR, RICH, in between, none. Pull in. So the question is why don't we? And that's Torah basic. Avas Yisrael, bring in the entirety of your people. Nobody pushed away, no I don't care she does THE TORAH CHARACTER, I DON'T CARE. A Yid, you're one of us, come in, please. Please, we want you. That you fight in army, you don't fight in army, I'll learn from you both. You're you're my brother. Pull in. So why don't we? Why don't we? The guys in Yeshiva will challenge me and have affected my life. Because they don't just take pull in, thank you. I didn't think of that, Kalish. Why don't we pull in? Why don't we? Always think your world, don't think large. You could point and say it's wrong. This one should get along, you, me. Why don't we pull in? And if we're honest, we don't pull in because if I'm part of the cool crew and I go there, am I going to be seen as cool? I can pull in, but by going with her over there, now I'm on the outs. That's why they don't pull in. And I want to say who is the man who pulls in, boy oh is the strength in him. He knows his own greatness. I got it. I don't have to go where it's cool. I am cool. I have boy oh is the strength in him. This tire in him. This greatness in him. When a person understands their own beauty, their own specialness, they're not afraid to be an inclusive. The insecure one who doesn't know their own preciousness, their own light, their own mighty, incredible, irreplaceable light. So then from that space pull in, I don't want to get out. I have to just from the space that I have so much and I am so much. Boy as it's crazy what he does. The other kid we don't know his name. For all eternity he's known as Plainly the unknown. John Doe, we don't know his name, the one who was supposed to marry Ruth. And ironically he didn't marry her. It was bad for reputation. So it's like the great irony. We don't know his name, the relative who was supposed to marry Ruth. He was worried about losing his name, the man who has no name. And the Mishnah of others says not getting shame if you're too careful with your name when you're not supposed to be, eventually you lose your name. You lose, you don't have a name. Reputation counts, but don't sacrifice real things. Reputation matters, there's a place for it. There's a place. Do what's true. Do what's right. Don't sell out, you have goods. You have the goods. By us, there's strength in by us. There's goodness, there's tire, there's beauty, there's power in by us. He's not afraid. Not only he marries us. You call it a of who's going to say, how's this going to What are you talking about? What if she's a tzaddikis? He's a tzaddik, he marries us. We get David Hamel who brings all our people in promise. And this the meter by us is he knows his own goodness. The conversation tonight, everybody here, is we have to recognize we really have the goods. Mamish, mamish, we have the goods. From that space of knowing I have the goods, we have those we are the goods. I'm Yisrael, a chosen people, a wanted people, a beautiful people, Nishmas Yisrael of elevated people, Mamlechus Kehanim Hagoy Kodesh. From that space, I want to claim that the meter that allows by us to go out and pull in is his name is by us. There's strength in me, there's goodness in me, there's tire in me. From the place we recognize our own power, our own beauty, our own preciousness, we could be secure enough and big enough include other. I want to express that why did the umas bless Knesses Yisrael should have shalom? They heard we got the tire, they said you should have shalom. Nice to see you, Rena. Thank you for coming. Knesses Yisrael was blessed. Knesses Yisrael was blessed with given the tire means each person who receives the tire is an ice, is a letter of the tire. Do you see the Kabbalas HaTorah is a shidduch? Did you ever go to a chasunah that you thought the guy was amazing but the girl ah. Did you ever go to a wedding the girl is amazing the guy is that a happy simcha? Pretty tragic. A simcha is beautiful when it's in there I guess I guess in the khasene and kallah precious. That's a khasene good khasene good kallah. That's a khasene. Wow. Khasene and kallah are precious in there I guess that's a simcha. Shavuos is a shidduch of Torah and Am Yisrael. Every person who was called to Kabbalas Torah has a unique thing that they're worthy of being the shidduch of Torah Yisrael V'Arayso Adam. And it speaks about the preciousness of each member of our people. And the umma's said Hashem Yevarech es Am Yisrael B'Shalom. Shalom means not people don't argue. I have seen people not argue and there was no shalom. There's no space. I have seen schools nobody fights but there's no shalom. Shalom means a lot of space different types different lights that's shalom. Shalom is klal Yisrael shleimus. It's a lot of rooms there's space for all here. Mamash for different types. The umma's when they hear that we are the receivers of Torah we are the shidduch of Torah they say Hashem should bless Am Yisrael B'Shalom. Klal Yisrael should make room for the entirety of our people for everybody's light. So what I want to appeal to us all understand that we come with a lot the emes we have a lot. Be in touch that we have a lot. Each one of us has a unique light. From that space of knowing boy oh is there strength in me there's Torah in me I'm shiyach to big things. From that space pull in the next one. Pull in pull in include be inclusive. Go out there and pull in from the space that you know you have. I love watching and you see a guy comes and at first he might have a best basketball player. Go go cool all these things, but he's insecure. He doesn't know what he has so he can't pull in. As he learns he has a soul and he's precious, he pulls in and he takes that which is gifted to him and it's used to better it's for the betterment of others. This is the essence of Torah of a sagir. A world where people are included, a whole nation, space for a whole people. So that's the first that's the main message that I wanted to share with everybody here. I wanted to beg us all to be to to understand we have a light. To really be in touch each one of us is a precious light. From that place of confidence from that place boyes that strengthen you that strengthen her that strengthen us. We have a lack from that space pull in, include, include. That's the world of Torah, that's the world of Israel. We should see a world where the entirety of our people is pulled in. That is the first message I wanted to share with everybody here. I have another topic that will be much briefer. The question is the first if we should have questions if anybody comment the question. Nobody has to. I see what's your name? Sarah. Thank you for being so courageous Sarah. What's your family name Sarah? Yes. So nice to meet you from where Sarah? From fun. Do you know my daughter Rena? Meet Rena. Rena meet Sarah. Rena's Rena raise your hand Rena. And where do you go to school Sarah? Do you know where my mom went to school? Central High School in Queens, huh? Excellent, fantastic. Such a strong question. It's a very the question before any answer like what in the world? What are we reading this for? In light of what I'm saying that Torah is this world of inclusivity of pulling in. Ruth is the safer pulling in. I don't have a question. David Hamelech was born and was nifter on Shavuos. Ruth is his story of the birth of David Hamelech. But the point I want to make tonight and the question is real. I want to say that the world of Torah is pulling in a Yid. Including Abba Sagur, including next one, is one of the great themes of the Torah. 36 times in Torah it's spoken about. So it's one of the great themes. And Boaz, whose name is this Torah and him, what we know about him, he pulls in Abba Sagur. The outsiders turned into the insider. So if that's the world of Torah, I don't have a question why on Shavuos we read this. This is Torah itself. A world where people are included. Rebbe Volbe used to call Yeshivas, place that study Torah, Olam Hayedidus, a world of friendship. Here people are included. Here people are drawn in. My biggest pride in the Yeshiva that that I'm zocheh to be part of is everybody's cool in the Yeshiva, everybody, bar none. Because people are pulled in. It's the pride. That's what it That's what I believe the world of Torah is. People here are celebrated. People here Anybody who's by my mother are seen that each one counts. Each one matters. Boaz, that's the story of Megillas Ruth. The pulling in of the out where the outsider becomes the ultimate insider. Mashiach comes from Ruth. She's sitting next to Hamelech. She's the ultimate Ema Shel Malchus. She's the matriarch of our people. She becomes like the ultimate insider. That's the story of Am Yisrael. Each one's pulled in. Each one counts. Each one matters. That's That's what I want to claim. But it's a good And And I don't say that's the sole answer. That the Medrash asks the question and presents an answer. It's rather interesting. But That's very fair. Excellent. Excellent. The cool part about questions is questions and energy. And I like yearly. I don't want to answer last year's answer. I want to like feel the question. It's strange that I want to say that we read Rus on Shavuos is weird. Like read the safer. What's it doing at Shavuos? So you say David HaMelech. Why is David HaMelech dominating Shavuos? It's a funny The what's hitting me this year is this point. The outside becomes the inside. I'm not convinced that's not the central theme of Torah. Taisus says 36 times in our Torah. If I'm right and the man who's whose response was named by always this Torah in him. So if it's a central theme like I'm claiming then I have no question. But I like the question a lot. If I could share if I could share another topic briefly and then anybody questions, thoughts definitely would be important. Let me quickly share as follows. I want to speak for a few minutes about my father. And And I'll bring out the question. Doreen's grandfather. My father I never met a person never never met a person who enjoyed this world as much as my father, never. I met a lot of people. My father liked this world a lot. Liked people and he liked Hashem's world. My father was a good tennis player. My father loved water sports. He water skied, he regular skied. He liked a nice barbecue. He liked this world a lot. My father learned more than anybody I ever knew in my life. I breathe my father's default setting was he learned. He learned a lot a day. He learned Shas be on every year. He finished Shas. He knew Rambam backwards and forwards. His default setting was to learn Torah and he was engaged in this world. What I saw from my father is the life of service of Hashem is in this world, is part of this world. Very part very part of this world. Very involved. He taught us the highest level in the world is kedusha, is being engaged. Moshe Rabbeinu separates from his wife and his sister says lashon hara on him. His brother and sister say that's not our way. There's a certain spirituality of the maybe of nuns, of people who detach from the world. That's not the way of Torah. Our greats are very involved in the world. They're they have families. They're integrated to the world. When I get I'm going to tell you a personal story. That's that's Today I would not grapple, but I was younger. It was a different stage in my life. Today it's something that I would not grapple with. The first house my wife and I bought in our life was beautiful. It was a big house and it was very run down. It was a mess. Seven bedrooms, so we fell in love. We We a place we could have family and guests. So, we fell in love with the size, but it was very run-down. A guy lived in the house, he was a sports writer. He had a big family, and the house was a wreck. Hashem made a nice for us. The government had a 6-month program. I've never heard of it again. It was in the whole Connecticut. For firemen and teachers, they would give in $25,000 in Connecticut to do repairs on your house. The condition was it was a loan. They didn't want you to fix your house and use it to sell. They wanted you to use it for yourself. So, for 5 years, every year $5,000 was forgiven. If you live there 5 years, it was your money. So, the government lasted 6 months. And they they gave us the we got they gave us money to fix up our house. We were teachers, okay? Teachers, I was not a fireman, but teachers and firemen were entitled. And other other ways, we we fixed up the house and we made it look beautiful. My wife has excellent taste, and my daughter follows her mother's way. She made the house look stunning. And I was struggling with it. I went on walks with my wife. I said, "What's with me?" Said the guy lived in the house, and it was it was a wreck, and he was fine. I can't live like that. Now, it's beautiful. It's a palace. But it bothered me. Am I Am I more Magushin? Bothered me a lot, a lot, a lot. I'm at a different place in my life. This would not I'd become Hasidic. I can't be fancy enough today. I'm working on myself. I like money a lot now, a lot. I've come a long way. And And And what I had, and it was it was hard. I promise you, I'm saying from a place it sounds comical. I was struggling with this a lot. It bothered me a lot, a lot. Here like and and he was a sports writer, he's cool. Now, I want to express the world's very important. You have Shabbos should be very beautiful. I'm having guests and my kids are in my house serving Hashem, the house should be stunning. Nothing short. The world's precious is big. We're mashiv this world. And today like it, what are you talking? Of course. I don't know the world by me, a Shabbos room shouldn't be should be beautiful mamish. A house raising children, the house is kodesh. Should the Beis Hamikdash look shlocky? The Beis Hamikdash had gold in it. It's like pashut. It's twerem shultem uh how he lived maybe he doesn't value the world like I do, huh? I don't know. And maybe he'll learn it's precious. You're raising a family to be servants of Hashem. So, we're engaged in this world. My question to everybody here and it bothers me a lot. I want to ask you a question that's relevant today. Chodesh Sivan. Hashem said I want to give you a Torah, come come to the desert. I don't understand. I need a love maven. Come to the desert? Are the monks right in Tibet? Why come to the desert? Hand me the Torah in Eretz Yisrael. Hand me the Torah in the civilization where we live, by our houses. To say come come. Come to the desert, I want to give you the Torah. That's not how that's Torah talks to our lives, to to to to being part of this world, to work, to get involved, to have a job and keep the whole Torah, read it to read our graves. Avraham fights wars. Yaakov Avinu, the baal habayis, he works, he supports his family. Connection to Hashem is not in the desert. It's not removed from society. And yet today, God says to me, "You come to the desert. I want to give you the Torah." Strange. Have an excellent night, everybody. Thank you so much for coming. I don't like making things comfortable. To the guys today in Yeshiva, I asked this question and I gave no answer. We stopped and I left. I headed home and then I came here. I don't like Well, the answer is it's not a It's not how things work. By the way, the question should be heavy. I should We should say goodnight to each other. Questions are real. Torah is real. Yiddishkeit's real. Strange. Bizarre. Come to the desert? That's energy and don't accept If my answer takes away the energy of the question, then I ruined the night for you. Question's energy. It's uncomfortable. Strange. No, tomorrow it's strange. Very bizarre. Very bizarre. If somebody This is what happens. Hashem says, "Klutz will come to the desert. I want to give you something. Come, come, leave. Not your Not your houses. Come to the desert." What? What? What you're giving me IS RELEVANT TO LIFE. Doesn't ask me to leave civilization. It does What are you taking me to the desert to give me Torah? Bizarre. That which instructs how to live in society, married with a family, working, producing, engaging in the world. And this gift you give me in in the desert? I think that's I think Not just is it a strong question, it's the question in our approach to Kabbalah, to our Torah. We're We're The The things we come to the desert. Come, come. There's a what's happening? What's going on? That's not the place that which instructs and advises to live amongst human beings, to live part of this world. Read the Torah is all about honesty and dealings. It's all about our greats who were highly engaged in family life and community life. In Yeshiva Ailam. And yet the Torah says come come to the desert. I want to give you something. It's the question by who are you bothered by the question? Yeah. Bothers me a lot. What do you think? Is it me or Maya? How do I Me, I want to say it right, not wrong. Maya, thank you for being here. What do you think of this question? Does it bother you? It's interesting. >> Come to the desert. He says to us all right now Hashem says to us today, come to the desert. I want to give you Torah. It's talking to us midbar. Midbar matana from the place of the deserts where I want to give you the gift. The great gift of our life, the treasure of our people, Torah. Kabbalah said Torah, the gift that's our energy, our light, our fire, our power, our sacred, our everything, Torah. Come to the desert. I want you to get Rena, bothers you? Seeing the grandfather had, does that like fit with how he lived? Come to the Leave everything. Go where nobody is. There's no ski resorts in the desert. It's like what's happening? Come with the Torah it says to us. It speaks to a people who live in civilization. So why would you give it to us where nobody is, when the Torah is where everybody is? It hits. To me it's like It has to be instructed. I don't want you just So the answer is there's an energy to the question. From Hashem knew this energy of this question and he he's giving this to us and this is how Hashem talks to us in our lives. With questions, with uncertainty, with difficulties, with something hits and then it brings Questions are the energy that produce things. I want to share you I want to share the question brings me places and Hasal asked the question. Questions are a powerful question and the question brings me many places and they're good places and it will bring you think about it. That's for sure. I want to share that one of my son told me something that's very meaningful to me and I want to share it with you. What my son told me. Did you ever go to a Shabbos table and so nicely like in the middle of the table somebody says, "Hey, let's share a dvar Torah." That's beautiful. You're sitting at a table, it should be a dvar Torah. I never felt that way at my father's table. We never interrupted the seudah to share a dvar Torah. My father's life revolved around Torah. We're Torah people. He didn't like He didn't like Stop the seudah, okay? LET'S SHARE A DVAR TORAH. LIKE YOU kidding me? Everything Torah is our life. Yiddishkeit. You don't You don't like squeeze Torah into your life like you have a life. Like you have Torah, you know. Do you all You don't squeeze Torah in your life? Our essence, our nature is serving Hashem. Torah in this world Yidden. It's who we are. It's what we do. It's what we're about. You don't like squeeze My father said the dvar Torah cuz that's what oozed from the tzaddik. That's what came from him. He was Torah. The course they would dvar Torah is like Yidden sat around, it'll be like we're He wasn't weird. So, that's what he said, "Yeah, he's a mamish was a yid." In his sleep, he said to the right tire, "My mother quoted over things he said in his sleep." My father would talk in his sleep and tire would say to the right tire, he said, "It's soda. Obviously, that's what he said, he was a yid, mama." What what do you think a yid's talking about? Tire, of course, he would say to the right tire, "Of course." And by the way, we did other things, everything was rooted to who we are. To who we are. To who we are. He didn't need to like stop it in there. To who we are. It's what we're about. He was mamish a yid. Oh, he was a yid. What we are. It's who we are. So, my son said that perhaps what hits him that we received the tire in the desert is not we have an existing life and could you fit this in? We receive it we are there's nothing and and then we create a life with tire. Not like we have a culture, we have an environment, but okay, let's let's make time for tire, too. My son was working. He was working with two yidden who are not shomer tire mitzvahs yet. And they said to him, he spent the summer working for them. And they said to him, "Can you know, we worked all day, let's give some time to God. Can we learn a few minutes?" Very nice. My son called me, he was hurting. He was hurting mamish. Like, what? Everything we're doing. He said, "Well, while I was at work, I was thinking of of being honest at work. I want to learn tire." Of course, he had learns. It wasn't but like, we did us. We have a whole life, but you know, we have tire. We view we have tire, too. Like that we have to make space for that, also. When a guy will tell me, "Rebbe, I'm not working on ruchniyus. I'm just being healthy. I'm just working on simchas achayim. Socially more You think like that's out of the realm of Torah? Torah speaks to the entirety our relationship to Hashem is the entirety it touches every aspect of our life. It's like I'm working on being healthy now. That's like out of the all our lives with a loyalist Hashem. We're getting we're really getting in the deepest most profound ways. We're the Am Hashem our precious Torah that guides and instructs and talks to every detail of our life. There was nothing out of you don't have to stop things like okay, we don't want to forget that. When he eats working so then Torah is being she's thinking honestly, she's including the next person. Nothing's like out you're running a camp that it's not of course Torah that of course of course like with just every every aspect governed and inspired and we're getting to our essence of our being. Somebody asked the singer Leonard Cohen. Leonard he was a Yid. I heard a reporter ask Leonard Cohen the one who made the song Haluca. They said Leonard I hear your songs are more Jewish these days. Leonard Cohen looks at him. He said I'm a Jew. Everything that comes to me is Jewish like more Jewish? You mean more Jewish? I'm just a Jew full 100% a Yid. Who I am it's my essence. More Jewish coming from you? The only thing that comes from me I do. We're the Am Hashem. We're the Mekublei Torah. It's who we are. It's our essence. It's who we are. So my son said it's not about if we had if we were handed the Torah in middle of a situation in middle of of issue it would be could you fit tire in this? Could you get it in there? Does your meal also have a very tire? That's not That's not what's going on here. We're handed the tire in the desert, and then everything we construct, of course we live life, but everything we done we do was instructed, is guided, is built, is developed by and through tire. It's that It doesn't run separate. Like, let's say it runs Of course, there should be the very tire cuz it's our tire. It's our mitzvahs. It's our life. K'heim chayeinu, it's our life. So, we come Hashem pulls us from away from everything. He says, "Here, let me hand you this. Now construct. Now build. Now create before we went to Tishrei." Of course, the liver of tire, the learner of tire engages in this world, but everything from the lens of tire, everything through and with as a ben tire, as a as a liver of tire, as a learner of tire, as a life of tire. My father's skiing wasn't like a It wasn't like, "Okay, now he walked in a life of tire." Of course, he appreciated the kindness of Hashem and engaged and engaged with people and engaged in this world in a in a in a beautiful way, all as a ben tire, a reflection of tire, a truth of tire. He ate the seudah was was a mish- pacha, enjoying each other, and that that was part That was a piece of tire, completely completely coming from the space of tire. So, it wasn't like, "Okay, if you have to say, 'Stop the seudah. Let's now It says somebody's traveling on the road, and it's mafsik bemishnaso. It says, "How nice is this tree?" They're like mesakya benashai. A person should admire the tree, but it shouldn't be as a break. No engagement in the world should be a break from your Torah. All of us, we're really in. It's who we are. It's what Everything we do is from that space, is in that space, is instructed by that space, is guided and elevated by the space. The people who are who are the accepters of Torah, who are the close people, the close ones, I'm crave with the craving of Hashem. The one who know mishpah to have been handed a Torah that instructs and guides and uplifts and and and talks to every aspect of our life. Somebody lives like that, they're at work. It's not, "Okay, let's do a fresh ship." We were at work. We were we Of course we're thinking about being more honest. We were in Torah. We're thinking about what's our love, what's true, how do we interact, how do we behave. We were in middle of Torah at work. So it wasn't like, "Oh, you know, we should also You weren't You weren't thinking that we're Torah people at work. When you were there, that that that wasn't instructed, that wasn't included, that That person may be like in middle of the issue, in middle of everything you said, "Torah also? Could you fit this in?" That's It's not how we live. That's not the understanding of our people. So I want to wish these two points to us all. I want to say to all of us, to every single First of all, I say that one of the main concepts of the Torah Avot Sagirah includes outsider. There no outsiders are pulling pulling from the space, but on Am I secure enough to pull in the other boy eyes? Understand this greatness, this glory, this importance, this tremendous power to a person from that secure place of knowing boy eyes, this greatness in me, this strength in me, this Torah in me. I'm I I I was asked to come to the har. From that place, be secure enough to pull the next one. From the place and review it as much as you need to understand it and incorporate. We have tremendous beauty in us. Include the next one. Pull in. That has to be the That has to be the calling of our people to pull in the next one. That's the first message. And the second thing is to know that the Torah the life of Torah and mitzvahs and the year Yisrael V'Arai'sah It's an all-inclusive. It's It's this We're shiyach to the We're shiyach to Torah and mitzvahs. We're shiyach to connect in a profound way to connect and instruct and guide and and affect all our dealings. There's no place that finds itself that's not connected to Torah. Every aspect is rooted in in the service of Hashem and the loyalty to Hashem and all the different aspects. For like kol mascha dayu Know Hashem in all our dealings. We're the loyalists to Hashem. And it instructs and guides and envelops and and it talks to and it it has shiyachus to every aspect of our life. Those are the two the two messages that I wanted to share with everybody here. Are there any questions, comments? Are there any questions? Questions are always appreciated. I like that nobody's asking. I'll tell you why I like that nobody's asking. >> [snorts] >> I want to say I want to say like this that I don't that that questions and being bothered and friction is huge. Who is the world that doesn't accept questions? And saying ask questions doesn't mean you accept questions. But when you accept questions, if your child is struggling and you can't It's People We all have dreams for our children. But if your child is struggling and you can't handle it, you don't accept questions. Questions are friction, are uncertainty, are doubt. If a guy's talking in shul and you can't handle it, you don't accept questions. The Yid is talking in shul, is saying something I deeply don't feel. If you can't handle that, don't tell me you accept questions. You don't. I'm not saying you can't speak to this Yid and figure out his I'm not saying you should talk in shul. I'm saying that questions are powerful. I have questions. I have things that question from Midbar. I I all different questions, real questions, questions and uncertainties. And to see somebody's pain is a question. A friend sat with me last week with tremendous pain. I don't understand, Hashem. How could you do this to somebody you love? That's a question. I don't mind questions. Questions are powerful, they're instructive. We get places from questions. I've learned from my children, I've learned from the guys in Yeshiva. Not to be afraid of questions, not to be afraid of it. So when you ask to ask questions, I like when people have questions. I like People say, "How do you love every Yid? How can somebody love what you're talking about, accepting, pulling in? I have Yidden I meet that I don't like." That's a question. I don't like them. Hashem loves Yidden and I meet Yidden I don't feel I don't mind that question. I go on walks with that question. I ask myself, "What are you struggling with? Why are you struggling with this?" So don't be afraid of friction. Don't be afraid. When you're afraid of friction, you you lose tremendous amounts. Where there's a question, where there's struggle, where there's uncertainty, where I don't know. So yes. What's your name? Leeba Basch. Leeba, you Thank you, Leeba. Thank you. Leeba's father is a friend of mine and I thank Leeba for being here. Thank you, Leeba. Okay. Um so this is for you and your I love that question. Could I I want to frame Leeba's thing as an attack. You asked it as a shaila. Do you know the difference, Leeba, between a shaila and a kasha? A shaila is when you're not sure information. I need information. What should I do shvuos? A shaila. A kasha is an attack. I need lomidus. I don't understand. I'm bothered by something. The same words could be a shaila and a kasha. Intelligent people always decide if somebody asked the shaila. I went on a girl's shabbaton and a girl asked a tznius question. And the rav didn't know people very well. He was a wonderful person. He just doesn't know people. He went on a half hour speech about hilchos tznius. The entire room was sleeping. I was up because it was just hilarious. Then he was giving like a shiur klali. He thought the girl wanted smicha. And he went like shach and taz. He was such sincerity. He dove into Now, he answered a shaila of tznius. Are you allowed to say shach taz? She was asking an attack. She was saying is beauty just a problem? She was attacking. Hashem gave something. Is it just bad? Is it just dangerous? Is there a space? Maybe it's important. She was attacking. She wasn't asking a shaila. He answered a shaila. She asked a kasha. The entire room fell asleep because when you don't answer what people are really saying, then there's disconnect. So, always answers it you asking a shaila. Kayla, since you're here, shvuos is coming, can you tell us what we could do to our hands on today. I want to ask it as an attack. From maybe the holiest day there, Shavuot, it's way up there. We received the Torah. And then no mitzvahs the whole day. It's crazy. It's crazy. They know you know there's one mitzvah today, simcha, an internal mitzvah, simcha, be happy. There's no mitzvah. It's crazy. Pesach is like life-altering. We change our diet. We're doing mitzvahs the whole night. Sukkah, we're sitting, sleeping, eating, schmoozing in the Sukkah. Change of life. Shavuot is nothing. None. Now, don't say People say, "Why don't we get to stay up?" There's a custom to stay up. Some minhag, nice minhag. Some do, some don't. What's the What's the mitzvah? It's like the quietest Yom Tov. It comes and it goes. It's bizarre. This holy day. So, I want an attack, Rebbe. An attack. Kash, tell me what to do. Shavuot, what What should we should we make all the girls to get What should we do? What should What is Shavuot? It The extra piece of cheesecake, nice minhag, minhag, minhag, minhag. Is there a What's the day? What happens? Quietest, shortest. The day we received our Torah. Mitzvahs, Torah, our life. Mhm. We should We should start up again. There's like a new query. There's so many questions are wonderful. Please think about this. Hashem wants us to think about these things. That on Shavuot, there's no mitzvahs. It's like weird. We want to do something, so we have to You get creative. Like, help me out a little. What do I do on Shavuot? There's But, I want to express very strongly the gift Kabbalat Torah was a marriage of Torah and the Yid. What you should do on Shavuot is celebrate together with your family and friends. Have nice times. Enjoy. Go on a walk with your I like in Yeshiva the greatest time. You can ask any if you have brothers or whatever. I promise I'm speaking the truth. The most unified time in the entire You can ask your sons. My shua will will say it. My will say it. The happiest, most unified time in the whole year is Shavuos. People are just enjoying each other There's pickle ball games like you wouldn't believe. Everybody's enjoying each other. What I would say with Shavuos you and me are the celebration. A yid is a big thing more than any day of the year. Shvu- Torah is the marriage of the mission of Hashem with his people Am Yisrael. And the celebration and appreciation of a yid is the essence of the day of Shavuos. We are the mitzvah. We're the mitzvah. Every other day has external things. We're the celebration. We're the party. Enjoy your family. Have a nice seudah, longer seudah. Much If the seudah normally goes 2 hours, on Shavuos 6 hours. Sing and dance and shmooze and drink whatever it takes. Enjoy. Enjoy. Get together with friends and enjoy each other. Dance and sing and celebrate each other. Am Yisrael, the precious people who have a massive light. Torah is the union of the Torah of Hashem with the yid. It doesn't have a certain mitzvah. We are the celebration. Our people Am Yisrael, the precious people. Yisrael The Jew and Torah is one. It's one entity. Boyaz is Boyaz There's Torah in him. We're shiyach to something. We're connected to something. We're part of something. We have something to offer in the world of Torah. So we are the celebration. I would tell somebody really to do what Hashem said Simcha. I advise get-togethers of friends enjoying and eating and drinking and celebrating and appreciating each other. I see it's like natural to Shavuot. There's a tremendous unity. Somebody could do a study. I watch in Yeshiva. It's a very unforced place of natural. People like bonding. It's almost like illogical. Any day the guys talk, it's like magical. Connect. Get together with family, with friends, and enjoy each other, and see each other, and eat and drink together, dance together, celebrate Am Yisrael, the people who Hashem chose and wants. And have by you is this Torah in us. We're shiyach to a world of Torah. We have a light to Torah. We have a We have something that we bring out of Torah, and Torah brings out of us. We bring out of Torah and Torah That match of the Yid and Torah tell me here there's something precious about a Yid that's both We bring things out of the Torah and the Torah brings things out of us. So, I would really I would advise somebody in a very serious way to have seudas, to have get-togethers of celebrations, of celebrating Am Yisrael, who we are. That's it doesn't have the external mitzvahs. We are the celebration. The main mitzvah is simchas is people getting together and enjoying each other and celebrating together. That's Hashem Yevarech Es Amo Bashalom. Person could be with their family and be with loved ones and friends and really just enjoy each other and and see goodness in ourselves and in others. You like nail in Shavuot. You You like that Shavuot itself. So, that's That's the best I could do. I do think this issue of unity of of Ahavas Yisrael, which is true all year round, specifically Shavuot. Hashem Yevarech Es Amo Bashalom. The need for the entirety of our people, specifically it says it's specific and Indian of of unity. Any types of gatherings of friends, a group of girls get together and just enjoy each other. Literally enjoy play good games together. I love watching the like playing together on everybody outside the weather is beautiful and people a group of girls walking together and going on a trip and just enjoying the outside together outdoors together is very the unity, the need for every year the pulling in the inclusivity. I would say that's very very Indian of we're part of a precious people each one is necessary and the celebration together is is a big part of is a celebration of the year with year with the year. So when we celebrate who we are, what we have, that's what would say on on on you love it was a celebration of each person families eating together and enjoying and enjoying the whole which good conversation good song that's all part of the celebration of we are the celebration look around the room and see our beautiful people good people were good were wonderful were good people were really were like wonderful people that's all that's my saying and singing together singing together singing together much much as more more celebration of who we are has shown chose the right people chose his people correctly and a celebration of our people itself all of us should be to a beautiful it's very very every single has like has has a power of the day, the day itself, the day itself is a tremendous it's Shavuot is connected each each hug is connected a different one of the others. So Shavuot specifically is Yitzchak Avinu the Torah writes Shavuot is Yitzchak Avinu, but there's a tremendous celebration. Yitzchak is the first child of Klal Yisrael Avraham starts our people and the first ben of Klal Yisrael was Yitzchak. It's interesting on Chodesh Sivan people daven for good children. They daven for good children, the continuity of our people, the need for every member of our people is very tied to Shavuot. Vayichan sham Yisrael neged ha'ar, Echad b'lev Echad, the entirety of our people sit by the ha'ar. This message of inclusivity of each person counts and matters has massive amounts to add would be a huge part of Sukkot a huge part of Shavuot. Shavuot is connected Yitzchak. Yitzchak's the first ben Avraham is an av, Yitzchak's an av and a ben, but he's the av who's who's the continuation of Klal Yisrael. Avraham starts it and the continuation Ki viYitzchak yikarei l'cha zara. The continuation is Yitzchak. We become the father the Avraham and Sarah Imenu have a child that continues Klal Yisrael. Then each person with a new energy, a new shine. Till then it was Avraham was a specific chesed. Shavuot then we go into Yitzchak is ta'avodah is and to bring what we have and continue it and bring it into our family lives. It's definitely a time a lot of family time.
