Yanuka in English - Pathways of the Torah 12/26

Okay, here we go. Chapter 12, the safer of the Inuka, the pathways of the Torah, Darchei Ha Torah, and let's go. Okay, we dealt with the first tablets. Now we're on the second tablet. So Moses goes up again, comes back with the second tablets, and all of a sudden these tablets are from the aspect on the side of poverty. We discussed that the first tablets were wealth and abundance, the second tablets were poverty. Zuta, as it says in Tanna D'bei Eliyahu, I first let's learn this. From the time of the destruction of the tablets, of the first tablets, there was now a a decree decreed against the people of Israel that now you're going to have to learn Torah from a place of suffering. You're going to have to learn the Torah from a place of slavery and being uh submission to someone else. And you're going to have to learn the Torah from hustling and schlepping and from madness and from pressure and stress and not having enough food. All these things are going to happen and you're still going to have to learn Torah. It's going to be a Torah of suffering now. Cuz Torah gets upkept through this verse in as it says in the book of Iyov, says in the beginning you will start off very narrow and small with very little, and at the end you will have achieved you'll have a ton you'll have a great amount you've earned. >> Because when you learn Torah from a place of poverty, from not having much and pressure and stress and all these things, you will come to after the fact to the aspect of wealth. You want to get wealthy, got to break your back over the Torah. Like it says in Avos, It says in Avos, whoever upkeeps the Torah from their place of poverty, at the end, you're going to keep it from a place of super wealth and abundance. So, don't beat yourself up if you have a hard life paying bills, if you're struggling financially, if you're suffering, if you're moving here, kicked out of there, and you're wondering, "Is God with me or not?" Yeah, for sure God's with you. It's nothing to do with you. The whole world's in this place right now. We can get out of it. How? Break your back over the Torah, even when it's hard. Don't wait for it to be easy. Break your back over this Torah when you can now in the poverty, and guess what? When you get to the abundance, when you get to the wealth, it'll be because you once broke your back when you didn't have. Woo, Nelly. I love you all so much. Stay strong. Learn that Torah. I don't care, no excuses. Learn it, break your back, you'll get blessings, share your wealth. Over and out.
