Walking the Path of Consistency (Weekly Parsha)

0:01 I don't know who you are, mr Edward Harriman, but I owe you a terrific debt of gratitude. Your quote has carried me through the dark times and without your one liner your axiom well, i don't believe the Motivation Congregation would have reached year two. The quote goes that much good work is lost because of a lack of a little more consistency, the idea that you're working hard on something and you're almost there, but if you can't remain consistent, if you burn out, well then all that hard work has gone to waste.

0:42 But you were literally an inch from gold. This quote has inspired me day after day. Just push a little harder, push more, do something big. And really, this quote is perhaps borrowed or stolen from the Chokhmah Hashem. It's obvious that the Torah understands it, tells us the importance of consistency, but perhaps folks you may not know just how vital consistency is. You see, there's a famous safer written. It's called the Enyakov, a 16th century gathering of the Agatic teachings of the Gemara, a safer authored by Yakova Ibn Habib, and it is really famous because of its predominant introduction that deals with what the word Gemara actually means and the censorship that has happened to the Gemara And other famous Midrashmen.

1:34 Listen to this, medri, she won't find it anywhere else except for in Rybiyakov, ibn Habib Zayn Yaakov. But it goes like this. The question was posed to the Amoy Ryan what is the most all inclusive verse in the Torah? And Benzoma says well, shema Yisrael, hashem el Okayno, hashem Echod. It's hard to argue with that one. Benanas answers, benanas of Bovom Itziah, fame says We Ahav Dolar Rehach HaKamochah, love your neighbor as thyself. Again, another very typical and probably sounds very, very smart to us answer. But Rabshimin Ben Pazi gave a different puzzling answers, and remember that name, rabshimin Ben Pazi.

2:17 The answer I have found a more all inclusive verse. It is Es alkev, es alchot aseba boy giv. Es alkev, es alchot aseb en ar bayim, a pussik from our parasha, parasha spinchas, that teaches the commandment to bring the carbon tommid, the continuous sacrifice Daily. It screams of a question of what this is more important, but the idea is bursting forth. It's because, without consistency, without doing mitzvos es alkev, es alchot aseb en ar bayim every single day, well then, you're left with nothing. And you're left with just in bursting forth of Shema Yisrael and a one day high of Yahav Dolar Rehach HaKamochah.

3:00 But it must be every single day in consistency. You know what's more unbelievable than Medrish finishes. But oh my Rabshiniel Raghlov. What's the Halakhah? The Halakhah is like Rabshimin Ben Pazi we Paskin. The most all inclusive verse in the Tyra is about consistency. Every single day we wake up and we grind, building something big. Not withering away, not slacking off. But again Nakhadeh a step further, because, after all, much great work is lost due to a lack of a little bit more.
