Shnayim Yomi - Shavuos - D'var Torah

[Music] as we're rapidly headed towards shavuous i'm reminded of a story told over by rabbi morache becher in his book gateway to judaism he says that there was a novel being written by an author by the name of raymond chandler a number of years ago and after he had already written four chapters of the book unfortunately he passed away now another author by the name of robert parker decided that he is going to complete the book and he's going to do it in a way in which raymond chandler would have done it wow what an incredible task to take on what do you think he did in order to complete that book you think he just read the first four chapters no not only do you read those first four chapters but he read all of his other books as well he read all of his manuscripts he read all of his rough drafts he read everything that raymond chandler ever wrote he interviewed his family he found out more about him he wanted to understand this author as much as he could so that he could write the book in the way that raymond chandler would have written it you know when it comes to our lives hashem gave us a life and he gave us a purpose and our purpose in this world is to complete our life based on the way that the author would have wanted us to complete it and that author is the rabona shalom and the way in which we figure that out is by learning his torah is by taking every single thing that our kurdish baraku tells us and trying to understand it whether it be the aspects of torah that are quote unquote relevant or whether it be the areas of lima torah that are less relevant everything is the knowledge is the wisdom of hashem and in order for us to understand what hashem wants in order for us to understand hashem's wisdom hashem's knowledge and to apply it to our lives to live our lives the way hashem wants us to we need to learn hashem's torah as much as possible all of its aspects all of the facets of hashem's torah we need to understand it we need to take it in you know we say in the morning brahmos every day i share nasa torres ms that hashem gave us the true torah what does that mean of course the torah is true and the dark gay muslim answers so beautifully he says you know what it means it means that hashem gave us a torah that gives us the truth of how we are supposed to live our lives as we approach shavuous let's be macabre the torah every single aspect of the torah let's think about how much torah can i learn this year to be able to take hashem's wisdom and bring it into my life to live a life that is truly taurus ms have a beautifully yumzy [Music]
