- 0:01The Garden of knowledge. Shit, number one, And you course
- 0:06of learning is a contemporary book by a giant in the world of
- 0:12breslav hassidim Rabbi Shalom, Irish, you might have come
- 0:16across his works, the garden of Amana.
- 0:19This book, The Garden of knowledge shows how the
- 0:21terrorists speaks personally, to every individual, and every
- 0:24generation, even segments of Terror that seem irrelevant when
- 0:27examined in depth, teach the individual important lessons in
- 0:31life and seen throughout this incredible Umm, I hope you join
- 0:36me for this course, of studies having to have a different and
- 0:39see how we get on, starting at the beginning.
- 0:43Literally the beginning, the beginning has shown created the
- 0:45heavens and earth. Always opening verse of the
- 0:50turret Russia explains that according to Rabbi it's hack the
- 0:53Torah should have really begun with a mitzvah'.
- 0:56Commandment after all the Torah means to instruct from the word.
- 0:59Lahore, art instruction book. So what are we doing with
- 1:02stories? And the very first Mitzvah in
- 1:06the Torah is killer Taco the sanctifying the moon, making a
- 1:11calendar. So why does the Torah begin with
- 1:14the story of creation? King, David teachers Us in the
- 1:17book of tell him 111? He declared the power of his
- 1:22deeds to his people to give them the lands of the nation's Rishi
- 1:26conclude that if the nations of the world told you, as people,
- 1:28they are thieves for Conquering. The land of Israel that belong
- 1:32to the time to other nations Then we can respond world.
- 1:35The whole world belongs to Hashem.
- 1:36He created it, him gave it to whomever, he wants to, if he
- 1:39wants it, to give it to these nations, finally wants to give
- 1:42it to us. And that's great.
- 1:43And he decided to give it to us. The vapor has passage of the
- 1:47turret, is small in size, but the message is huge.
- 1:51What do we learn? There's opening section, M, Le
- 1:55the pure and complete belief in Hashem.
- 1:58The tower is not a storybook or a history book but a practical
- 2:02instruction manual. That teaches us how to live our
- 2:04lives and how to keep the Commandments.
- 2:07Therefore, as Russia explains, we would expect the turret to
- 2:09begin with the first practical commandment So why did it begin
- 2:14with stories? We have the story of creation.
- 2:18The Torah teaches us that Hashem is the master of the world.
- 2:21This is the foundation of our Amana.
- 2:25He not only created the world but he vitalizes and sustained
- 2:28it to this very day. Everything in the world is
- 2:32subservient to her shems control.
- 2:35He decides where every nation will do.
- 2:37Well, he alone decides which nation shall live permanently in
- 2:40one place, and who's going to be exiled move around disappear or
- 2:44perhaps, like the miracle of the Jewish people come back to their
- 2:48Homeland and shems. Exclusive sovereignty over all
- 2:52the creator of over all of creation.
- 2:54Determined what happened in the world?
- 2:59I'll check the informs us. That he exclusively rules the
- 3:03globe. He decided to give the Holy Land
- 3:05initially to the kid nominations.
- 3:07He then took it from them and gave it to us.
- 3:12So everything that happens, all these nations wandering around
- 3:15at a product of hashem's. Exact Precision, Divine
- 3:20Providence, just as I shared governs, the nation's he
- 3:23governs, the individual, he decides which person will live
- 3:27them which house or apartment of.
- 3:28For what duration, Hashem decides, who wants neighbors
- 3:31will be hashem's, mind-boggling Divine Providence, governs, the
- 3:35entire universe from the great galaxies to the tiniest
- 3:39microorganism with no exception. Pluto is outset, we learn that
- 3:44everything is in our streams hand.
- 3:45Only did he create Heaven and Earth in the beginning?
- 3:49Be creates them, a new and keeps things going every single day.
- 3:54At the poll success until him chapter 119 or the Pacific him
- 3:57forever Hashem. Your word stands firm in the
- 4:00heavens. You established the Earth and it
- 4:02survives it continues. But Heaven and Earth exists.
- 4:06Only because I shems commands that they continue to exist.
- 4:13Rashi's question. As to why the turbo gal with an
- 4:16elaborate on the story of creation?
- 4:17Which has no practical? Directive is also applicable to
- 4:20all the other stories that appear in the Hamish.
- 4:23Especially there are the first book of the Torah.
- 4:25They too are not directive in nature.
- 4:27That's how good it survives. Survives with the summary of
- 4:30this. What happened?
- 4:31And seven verses later. We get to the sharpest part.
- 4:35Then it could have given us a historical overview of
- 4:38Patriarchs and matriarchs, it gives us more detail.
- 4:43However, since the lessons of Amana that we learn in the
- 4:46stories that appear in the first book of the Torah, as such vital
- 4:49fundamentals of being Jewish the very core of the Torah.
- 4:53They have to be presented at length, we will continue all
- 4:56being well tomorrow, then very lovely day.
