THE MEANING OF LIFE EXPOSED! · The Weekly Parsha - With Michoel Brooke

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What is the meaning of life?
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Kind of heavy question, I don't really know.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: But I don't have to know, or do you For the wisest of all men?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: The holy monarch, the son of David Melch, already answered this question After pondering it for a great deal of time.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: He searched the earth, discovered the sum of the matter, the meaning of life, summarized it and then put pen to paper and gave it to us, this truth of what is the simple yet elusive meaning of life.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Sof d'var, the sum of the matter.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: The last pas, like of Koelis, ha kol nishma.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Everything is taken into account.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Eso el akim yore.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So fear God, the est mitzvosa of Shamar and do his mitzvos.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: He's that kolah of them, for that is the entirety of man.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: That's the sum of the matter, that's the meaning of life.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Firashem, become a yore Shamayim and observe the mitzvos.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: They're simple.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It's a shame that we complicate it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So it should shock you that this elusive title that should only be reserved for the Hall of Famers, those that are called the fears of God, something special, this title is thrown around very loosely, at least it seems.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It's put down on a bunch of people.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It seems very unsuitable, very misplaced.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: When we are told that the servants of Paro are yore est of Arasham, are God-fearing when you ask by the plague of Hale.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: When Moshef were told it and said if you would like to dodge this makah, this plague, well, bring everything inside and you will not be crushed by this plague, says the Pasek.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Ha yore est of Arasham may avde Paro heinous.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And those that feared the word of Hashem from the servants of Paro.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: They gathered in their servants and their possessions to their houses.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: They're called God-fearing.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Birohem points out how he complicated the point of life, but really, how easy it is to be God-fearing.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You just hear the word of God, you hear the Torah, you hear the Balkhari on Shabbos, and then you follow through.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, hashem said there's going to be a plague, so bring stuff inside.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I'm doing that.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: God-fearing.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You have lived a perfect life, god said.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Put a makah, a fence, on your roof.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Ha yore est of Arasham, god said, cease from your labor and relax on Saturday.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You have fulfilled the point of life, but now, like a diamond in the rough, conversely, we learn from the next Pasek how life can become so complicated, because there are those that were erect and annihilated by these gargantuan gobs, a fiery, icy hail, and why?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: What is the very opposite of fear of heaven?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: The Asher, lo-sum-libo, el Tavaar, hashem.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: But those Egyptians that did not hearken to the word of God, that did not pay attention to the warning signs, to those servants of Hashem who did not take the word of Hashem to heart, they were wrecked, they were destroyed, they were decimated.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: The opposite of fear of heaven is to not pay attention to, to not be sim-lave.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: In Hebrew you'll see that phrase on a step.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: When there's something coming up, it's dangerous.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: In English we say attention, pay attention, warning signs.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: In Hebrew it's sim-lave To heed the call to have an awareness of, to take notice.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And to not take notice is the opposite of Yerah Shem-Aim, which is the entire meaning of life.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: So the end of the matter is to fear Hashem and do as mitzvahs.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: But God forbid if we waste our time down here and things go horribly wrong.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: It happens because we overlooked the signs, we disregarded the messages and ultimately we just didn't pay attention to the word of Akhadish Barahul.
