  Mizrahi Inspiration Sheer #1. Towards the end of the Torah,
• 0:08
  Moshe is commanded that Attare now kit Fula Khemeta Shirahazot
• 0:12
  write down this song, which is interpreted in different ways.
• 0:16
  But one understanding is that Torah has a melody.
• 0:18
  There's a certain tune and nuances in the way we understand
• 0:22
  Torah. So what is the melody?
• 0:23
  What is unique about Misraki Tora Torat Erits Israel, the
• 0:28
  Tora of the Land of Israel That makes it unique?
• 0:30
  What is its tune? 1 Aspect of that difference is
• 0:34
  how we understand ourselves. We're not just Jews living
• 0:39
  amongst others. We're not, to borrow the phrase
• 0:42
  from Yiddish, We're not hidden. We are am Israel.
• 0:46
  We're a nation. We're a collective there's
• 0:50
  something unique. About Amistra, that's not just
• 0:54
  individuals coming together to form a nation.
• 0:56
  We are a we are creation of Hashem and if we don't
• 1:01
  understand ourselves, then we don't understand our movement.
• 1:03
  We can't understand what we're meant to be doing in the world,
• 1:07
  says Ral Cook. In a beautiful teaching.
• 1:11
  That the Jewish people's specialness, I'm Israel's
• 1:13
  specialness, lies in its divine creation and not in its.
• 1:20
  Receiving the Torah. The holiness of the Jewish
• 1:22
  people preceded the giving of the Torah.
• 1:25
  What's the proof? Asher Bachharbanu, we call.
• 1:29
  Hanin Hashem first chose us and then we save Vinata London with
• 1:34
  Torahto and then. He gave us the Torah because we
• 1:39
  were chosen. We received the Torah, but
• 1:45
  perhaps we can say it differently.
• 1:47
  The life giving words of Hashem are revealed through us.
• 1:50
  I'm Israel. In every aspect of our existence
• 1:54
  in Torah, in spiritual matters, and every down to other aspect
• 1:57
  of our life, of our national life, the trial was given to us
• 2:02
  as rough cook because of our exalted inner school.
• 2:05
  We have a quality that needs to be revealed.
• 2:08
  We need to understand ourselves in order to fulfill our national
• 2:11
  mandate, if we. Are called upon, as the Torah
• 2:16
  tells us in the book of Shamut. To be Mamlekhet Kahanem, a
• 2:22
  Kingdom of priests and unschooler treasured nation.
• 2:26
  Or, as the Prophet Ishire talks about to be in our Lagoyeum, to
• 2:30
  be to open the eyes of the blind, to lead the world, to
• 2:33
  stand up in protest against injustice in the word of.
• 2:35
  Rabbi Sacks, then we have. To know who we are first before
• 2:39
  we can take any further steps and who we are, is true of every
• 2:43
  single Jew. We have to love every single
• 2:47
  Jew. No Jew should be excluded.
• 2:48
  It isn't the Torah which makes. US am Israel Tadashem chose us
• 2:55
  and the Tara comes to maximize and channel that special
• 2:58
  spiritual power. Two exalted famous commentators
• 3:05
  are Haima Khadosh and the Kuzari.
• 3:07
  Both say in the similar concept if there were no Amissa there.
• 3:11
  Was no Jewish people, there would be no Torah or.
• 3:13
  The word of the. Kuzari If not for the children
• 3:16
  of Israel, there would be no Torah in the world.
• 3:19
  So there'd be no destiny for it to go, no address for it to for
• 3:21
  it to turn up has we have to recognize the qualities that the
• 3:25
  Jewish people have. And you think this is all a
• 3:29
  little bit up in the air? A beautiful source called.
• 3:33
  Tana de Bailia, who teachings of Elia and Navitas as follows, he
• 3:37
  said. Once I traveled from place to
• 3:38
  place and a man encountered me and asked me questions of Torah.
• 3:42
  He said to me. Rabbi, I have two things in my
• 3:44
  heart that I hold a great love for Torah and the Jewish people,
• 3:47
  but I don't know which comes first.
• 3:49
  I told them people usually say Torah comes before everything.
• 3:52
  But I say you sure Al Kudo Shin The Jews are holy and they come
• 3:56
