Parshas Behar - Bechukosai: Courting the Living Torah

Have you ever considered that Torah might be alive, seeking relationship with those who truly cherish it? This groundbreaking perspective transforms our understanding of what it means to "toil in Torah."

At the heart of Parshas Bechukosai lies a divine promise of abundance – timely rain, bountiful crops, peace, health, and prosperity. The condition? "Im bechukosai telechu" – if you will go in My laws. But what does this really mean? Rashi's revolutionary interpretation reveals it's about being "ameilim baTorah" – toiling in Torah study. Yet why would God want us to suffer or struggle with His wisdom?

The answer lies in understanding Torah as a living entity rather than a static text. As evidenced in Sefer Mishlei, where wisdom "cries out in the streets" and "raises her voice in the squares," Torah has a heartbeat, feelings, and desires. Just like any meaningful relationship, Torah seeks those who demonstrate sincere devotion and prioritization.

This explains why Yehoshua earned leadership over Moshe’s own son – not because of intellectual prowess, but because "he arranged the chairs and smoothed the tablecloths" in the study hall. He served Torah passionately, rising early and staying late, making it feel cherished above all else.

True "ameilis baTorah" means courting Torah like a potential life partner – demonstrating that it's the most crucial relationship in your life. When we approach Torah this way – as a living presence rather than information to master – it reciprocates, "falling in love" with us and revealing its most profound wisdom.

How might your relationship with Torah change if you treated it not just as a text to study but as a presence to honor, cherish, and prioritize? Start courting Torah today, and watch as it opens its heart to you, revealing treasures beyond imagination.

00:00:02.807 --> 00:00:03.591
It's that simple.

00:00:03.591 --> 00:00:39.808
If you'll go in my laws and you'll protect my observances, my commandments, and you'll do them, I'll give you your timely rain, your water will be pure, your crops will be watered, you'll have produce, you'll have plentiful, effervescent, overflowing crops for you, tooming on your trees.

00:00:39.808 --> 00:01:03.191
Your life will be perfect, life will be peaceful, you'll be living as a wealthy servant of God and you'll be living with health and vitality.

00:01:03.191 --> 00:01:06.046
It is all there for the taking.

00:01:06.046 --> 00:01:23.483
There is a caveat, and the caveat is the very tiny two-letter word at the beginning of our Parsha ImI, m, im, im, if, if, if.

00:01:23.483 --> 00:01:28.694
If you will follow the rules, then you'll have everything you could ever want.

00:01:28.694 --> 00:01:38.823
God made up the game and God made up the rules of the game, and it's our job to go in them, to protect them and to do them.

00:01:38.823 --> 00:02:04.507
What's left for us to define is what does it mean to go in the laws, what is the literal translation of what's being stated here and asked of us, and how can we crystallize it with total lucidity for us to actually get done what God wants, and then, hopefully, everything will be great.

00:02:04.507 --> 00:02:16.930
So let's translate the words In b'chukot sa'i te lechu, and by translating I mean we'll look at Rashi to figure out what everything means here, one of the most world-famous ground-shaking, eye-opening Rashi's.

00:02:16.930 --> 00:02:25.093
In kol ha-torakula, in b'chukot sa'i te lechu yoch uz'kiyom ha-mitz, I thought it just simply meant fulfilling the mitzvos.

00:02:25.093 --> 00:02:32.728
Isn't that what it means to go in God's laws?

00:02:32.728 --> 00:02:44.020
But then the hemshech, the continuation of the Pesach, says so.

00:02:44.020 --> 00:02:44.763
Now kiyam ha-mitzvah is stated there.

00:02:44.763 --> 00:02:50.770
So what is the original three words of the Pesach mean of what's left?

00:02:50.770 --> 00:02:52.425
What is this referring to?

00:02:52.425 --> 00:02:57.329
What is asked of us Beyond just simply fulfilling the mitzvot?

00:02:57.329 --> 00:03:11.086
Rashi's famous lead up to the most incredible, ground-shaking three words what is required of us?

00:03:11.086 --> 00:03:13.168
What does the Almighty ask of us?

00:03:13.168 --> 00:03:28.129
And in b'chukos haitei leichu, citing the sephra, it means simply that you should be a malem in Torah.

00:03:28.129 --> 00:03:33.316
Hmm, simple enough Toil in Torah.

00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:47.687
Maybe you can recall your Balmusser or rabbi yelled these words at you in your youth, that you gotta toil in Torah, you gotta work hard in your learning.

00:03:47.687 --> 00:03:58.746
You have to strive, labor, suffer, maybe even in your Torah study Shetiu ha-melem ba-Torah.

00:03:58.746 --> 00:04:16.415
But when we really open up the hood and look inside of these words and think honestly about them, don't you think it's interesting that God wants us to toil in our learning?

00:04:16.415 --> 00:04:21.805
Isn't it rather odd if we take a very superficial understanding of this concept that you need to toil in your study.

00:04:21.805 --> 00:04:24.694
A very superficial understanding of this concept that you need to toil in your study.

00:04:24.694 --> 00:04:33.874
Don't you think it's weird that if Torah is a chachma, torah is the book, the all-encompassing book of God and it's for us to understand it and know it?

00:04:33.874 --> 00:04:39.706
Don't you think it's weird that pain and toiling and struggling and suffering in it is also part of the deal?

00:04:39.706 --> 00:04:46.973
Why should it matter whether or not you hurt yourself or felt the pain to understand God's Torah or not?

00:04:46.973 --> 00:04:49.786
Did you do the mitzvot?

00:04:49.786 --> 00:04:53.528
Maybe you're even besimcha about it.

00:04:53.528 --> 00:04:57.444
You do it with tremendous zrizos and hislavos, it's all there.

00:04:57.444 --> 00:05:03.814
But if you're not om al-batora, somehow you have nothing Weird.

00:05:03.814 --> 00:05:05.341
What's the pshat?

00:05:05.341 --> 00:05:07.867
Why is toiling required?

00:05:09.209 --> 00:05:18.353
So often we jump out and kind of round the corners here and say that the toiling means in the learning, it's a vert in the learning.

00:05:18.353 --> 00:05:21.302
No, the learning needs to be with real diligence.

00:05:21.302 --> 00:05:32.814
We'll say it means to push yourself in your learning, exert yourself in your learning, sit there at long hours trying to understand.

00:05:32.814 --> 00:05:34.975
But it's not what the words say.

00:05:34.975 --> 00:05:38.307
This is not a vart.

00:05:38.307 --> 00:05:41.228
In the Talmud Torah or in the Limud HaTorah or even in the Hasmodos HaTorah.

00:05:41.228 --> 00:05:48.692
The words are Amalim BaTorah, a new concept that is required in the acquisition of Kenyan ha-Torah.

00:05:49.942 --> 00:05:51.146
So what is amelis?

00:05:51.146 --> 00:05:58.687
Should we put thumbtacks on our chairs that we're sitting on to learn, so that we can learn Torah with more toil?

00:05:58.687 --> 00:06:08.324
Should you stand up and learn, because that increases the pain and you should study the hardest commentaries while your legs cramp from constant exertion?

00:06:08.324 --> 00:06:09.869
Is that what's to be asked of us?

00:06:09.869 --> 00:06:12.540
That's what amelos is and that's what God wants?

00:06:12.540 --> 00:06:14.545
Certainly not.

00:06:14.545 --> 00:06:17.490
So what does amelos mean?

00:06:17.490 --> 00:06:18.973
What does it truly mean?

00:06:18.973 --> 00:06:22.583
Why is it crucial?

00:06:24.708 --> 00:06:26.492
This year I came across this idea.

00:06:26.492 --> 00:06:30.386
I've actually seen it times before, but never really understood it.

00:06:30.386 --> 00:06:39.564
This year I think I have a grasp on what Rabbi Rucham, the great spiritual dean of Yeshiva Asmir during the Roaring Twenties, means to bring out here.

00:06:39.564 --> 00:07:03.103
I think I have a grasp and with this piece of Chachma, if we're merit, if we will merit to say it over with clarity, to understand it, it shines a bright spotlight of lucidity upon so many tough-to-understand topics, and it all begins from chapter one of Sefer Mishlei.

00:07:03.124 --> 00:07:04.946
Wisdom cries out in the streets.

00:07:04.946 --> 00:07:26.026
It raises her voice in the squares, at the head of the busy streets.

00:07:26.026 --> 00:07:29.759
She calls out At the entrance of the gates of the city, she speaks aloud.

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:38.870
How long will you simple ones love your simplicity?

00:07:38.870 --> 00:07:42.189
How long will you scoffers, be eager to scoff?

00:07:42.189 --> 00:07:45.569
How long will you dullards hate knowledge?

00:07:45.569 --> 00:07:52.468
Tashuvu luk toichachti Hinei obio lachem ruchi oy dia divora yeschem?

00:07:52.468 --> 00:07:59.745
You are indifferent to my rebuke and I will now speak my mind to you and let you know my thoughts.

00:07:59.745 --> 00:08:05.081
Ya'an korosi utme'enu natisa yodi ve'en makshiv.

00:08:05.081 --> 00:08:11.814
Since you refused me when I called and paid no heed when I extended my hand.

00:08:11.814 --> 00:08:15.067
These are the words of Shlomo HaMelech.

00:08:15.067 --> 00:08:19.990
There is something crying out in the streets.

00:08:22.295 --> 00:08:30.610
If you've heard these psukim or maybe you've heard hearing them now for the first time maybe they seem cryptic, maybe you're unsure who's talking.

00:08:30.610 --> 00:08:41.206
It seems like it's a female, but it also seems like it's chachma.

00:08:41.206 --> 00:08:43.429
All of its clarity and all of its simplicity.

00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:54.918
What's going on here is that Torah is complaining.

00:08:54.918 --> 00:08:55.039
Torah.

00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:00.005
If you put it all together here we have Shlomo HaMalch describing how it's Chachma.

00:09:00.005 --> 00:09:02.708
We also know Torah is always called female.

00:09:02.708 --> 00:09:04.110
It's Torah Hashem Tamima.

00:09:07.495 --> 00:09:14.698
When you continue on, you understand that Torah here is complaining and rebuking and Torah is taking on this interesting reality, this interesting personality.

00:09:14.698 --> 00:09:18.578
Torah is almost somehow getting a heartbeat and when you go through Mishle.

00:09:18.578 --> 00:09:25.924
What continues to become apparent is that we are actually describing Torah itself living, breathing, walking and rebuking.

00:09:25.924 --> 00:09:29.057
Al ta'azva'u se'shemera ehev ovesirtzecha.

00:09:29.057 --> 00:09:31.182
Describing Torah itself living, breathing, walking and rebuking.

00:09:31.182 --> 00:09:37.484
Do not forsake her, mishlei, and she will guard you, love her and she will protect you.

00:09:37.554 --> 00:09:42.304
It's clear that it's something living and it's Torah's Chaim that's talking, says Rabbi Rocham.

00:09:42.304 --> 00:09:57.162
He proves this over and over through all of the Pesukim, that it isn't just wisdom, it isn't just some muscle, it isn't what people say, that Mishle is a bunch of proverbs and everything is to be understood deeply.

00:09:57.162 --> 00:09:59.246
But it is plain as day to see.

00:09:59.246 --> 00:10:01.235
Read it in English, translate it.

00:10:01.235 --> 00:10:17.000
Go to Safaria and figure out the most basic understanding and you'll see that Sefer Mishle and right here is the easiest way to see it that Torah is living and rebuking and yelling out in the streets that why does nobody care about me?

00:10:19.566 --> 00:10:29.259
Torah lives, torah breathes, torah rebukes and Torah comples, torah rebukes and Torah complains.

00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:35.586
It is an actual entity, a living organism, a being.

00:10:35.586 --> 00:10:42.765
We tend to think of Torah as a dead object, but it's an object.

00:10:42.765 --> 00:10:43.687
No, it's wisdom.

00:10:43.687 --> 00:10:45.139
It's something that can't be understood.

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:45.437
It's far out.

00:10:45.437 --> 00:10:45.642
It's different.

00:10:45.642 --> 00:10:46.003
I relate to it through the book, maybe.

00:10:46.003 --> 00:10:46.100
No, it's wisdom.

00:10:46.100 --> 00:10:46.537
It's something that can't be understood.

00:10:46.537 --> 00:10:47.583
It's far out, it's different.

00:10:47.583 --> 00:10:49.947
I relate to it through the book, maybe.

00:10:50.206 --> 00:10:57.044
No, all of it is lacking the real definition of what it truly is, which is Torah's Chaim.

00:10:57.044 --> 00:10:59.191
It's the living Torah.

00:10:59.191 --> 00:11:02.577
It is an entity that lives and breathes.

00:11:02.577 --> 00:11:06.322
It's touchable, feelable, it has a heartbeat.

00:11:06.322 --> 00:11:31.381
It's actually not just an entity, it's really the only entity, if you're Kabbalistic speaking, but Torah, it's complaining that no one is taking care of me, listening to me, and with this Kiddush, let it be clear that this is the chiddish, that Torah lives and it's a thing.

00:11:31.381 --> 00:11:36.038
Everything comes into light, it changes everything.

00:11:37.764 --> 00:11:53.842
Because how do you think If you, whether in Shidduchim or you, just want to find a friend in camp, you could make someone or something that's living want to befriend you?

00:11:53.842 --> 00:12:00.524
How do you think you are to win them over to be your friend?

00:12:00.524 --> 00:12:29.008
Well, step one be nice to them, pay attention to them, care for them, try to win them over, try to do kind gestures, Court them, perhaps Go the extra mile for them, listen to their stories late, connect with them, care for them, wait for them, hang out with them, be there for them, wait for them, hang out with them, be there for them.

00:12:29.008 --> 00:12:33.559
See, torah is living and that's what Torah wants us to do.

00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:43.001
But Rashi shows us that what's the way to court the Torah, what's the way to acquire the Torah?

00:12:43.001 --> 00:12:46.208
What's the way to im b'chu kosai te lechu?

00:12:46.208 --> 00:12:46.809
What's the way to?

00:12:46.809 --> 00:12:52.721
What's the way to let Torah open up its heart and share with you its deepest secrets?

00:12:52.721 --> 00:13:00.683
You must be not in the study of Torah.

00:13:00.683 --> 00:13:07.557
It's not a halacha in the learning of Torah, but it's an all new idea Of that.

00:13:07.557 --> 00:13:12.022
You must show that you love Torah and you must give up for Torah.

00:13:12.022 --> 00:13:23.461
You must court the Torah and be the trusty, handsome prince charming to save Torah, that it loves you back and wants to open up to you.

00:13:23.461 --> 00:13:27.320
It wants to be your friend because Torah lives.

00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.398
Amelos, the Chiddish Amelos.

00:13:31.398 --> 00:13:36.645
You have to ingratiate yourself with Torah.

00:13:36.645 --> 00:13:42.263
Work hard for the Torah, because the Torah doesn't want to just be friends with anyone or anything.

00:13:42.263 --> 00:13:45.980
Torah is special and it only wants to be friends with the cool kids.

00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:52.398
It only wants to be friends with someone that really understands what it is and what it has to offer.

00:13:52.398 --> 00:13:59.184
So you have to earn its trust by being omel for it.

00:14:01.676 --> 00:14:11.662
Torah is called something that has 48 ways to acquire it and the Lashon of the Mishnah is.

00:14:11.662 --> 00:14:13.466
There's Memchaz, kenyoni Torah.

00:14:13.466 --> 00:14:20.543
To make a Kenyon on it, there's 48 separate things that you need to befriend the Torah with to actually make this acquisition.

00:14:20.543 --> 00:14:31.206
And surely you're aware that to make an acquisition in Halacha, masech, hakadushim be'ezam, be'ez niknis can't do a kenyon balkarcha.

00:14:31.206 --> 00:14:33.259
You can't marry a woman against her will.

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:35.903
You can't acquire the Torah against its will.

00:14:35.903 --> 00:14:44.822
It needs to be biritzona, she needs to be want in on it, she has to want to marry you.

00:14:44.822 --> 00:14:52.302
You have to earn the trust and the love, the desire of the other person.

00:14:52.302 --> 00:14:58.416
That's all done through Amelos, over and over, throughout Shas, this same concept shows itself.

00:14:58.416 --> 00:15:01.184
And don't you know the Megillah, the Masechta Megillah?

00:15:02.436 --> 00:15:10.828
Vav Amet Bez Omer Rab Yitzchakim Yoim Alecha Olam Yogati V'Lei Matzossi Altamen.

00:15:10.828 --> 00:15:27.905
The only way that you can tell the rest of the world that I got this superstar person to be best friends with me, maybe even to marry me, this special entity, this special person called the Torah, the only way you'll be believed is if you are yogati.

00:15:27.905 --> 00:15:37.859
Yogati is what makes the Torah feel nice and warm and welcomed and there's no pressure, and it wants to open itself up to you.

00:15:37.859 --> 00:15:44.778
Yogati doesn't mean pain, but it means showing that you're willing to go the extra mile for it.

00:15:44.778 --> 00:15:49.889
You're willing to go, stay up late and listen to its stories.

00:15:49.889 --> 00:15:52.342
You don't leave it unattended in the car.

00:15:52.342 --> 00:15:57.865
You're willing to think about it and get lost in it.

00:15:57.865 --> 00:16:00.942
You're willing to be all mile for it.

00:16:00.942 --> 00:16:04.125
You're willing to stay up late and wake up early for it.

00:16:04.125 --> 00:16:17.482
And so that Torah feels loved by you and wants to open up its ever-flowing and revitalizing and encouraging wellsprings of Torah to you, of life.

00:16:17.482 --> 00:16:27.482
You have to earn it by being omel and courting the Torah, to show the Torah that you're worthy of it, so it will open up to you.

00:16:27.482 --> 00:16:29.755
That's what a megalos is.

00:16:33.625 --> 00:16:42.267
Moshe Rabbeinu wanted to give over the keys to Klal Yisrael to be the next mayor, to be the next leader, to his son.

00:16:42.267 --> 00:16:56.544
He saw that there's a certain passing down of things from father to son, father to daughter.

00:16:56.544 --> 00:17:00.191
The Benos Lovchad got a share based on family rights.

00:17:00.191 --> 00:17:08.713
So Moshe Rabbeinu said now is as good a time as ever for me to ask that my son should be Yorshu B'nai Es Kvaydi.

00:17:08.713 --> 00:17:11.665
Am I the one who has the keys to the Torah?

00:17:11.665 --> 00:17:16.489
Who knows who has the keys to the Torah?

00:17:16.489 --> 00:17:20.606
No, no, a famous medrash who has the keys to the Torah.

00:17:20.779 --> 00:17:22.022
Who has Torah opened up to?

00:17:22.022 --> 00:17:23.105
To the smartest one?

00:17:23.105 --> 00:17:24.868
No, to the wisest one?

00:17:24.868 --> 00:17:27.394
No, who does Torah?

00:17:27.394 --> 00:17:27.881
Who?

00:17:27.881 --> 00:17:28.383
Who?

00:17:28.383 --> 00:17:30.329
What it the living Torah?

00:17:30.329 --> 00:17:37.480
Who does it want to be friends with Yehoshua?

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:46.390
Harbe shayoscha, veharbe cholak lacha?

00:17:47.111 --> 00:17:50.114
Yeshua worked hard to take care of you.

00:17:50.114 --> 00:17:57.309
He gave you honor, he woke up early, he stayed late in your vadim, in your musr shmuzes.

00:17:57.309 --> 00:18:01.150
He was the janitor.

00:18:01.150 --> 00:18:10.074
He organized the chairs before yeshiva, before it became study time.

00:18:10.074 --> 00:18:18.992
He smoothed out the tablecloths to make sure that everything was ready to go.

00:18:18.992 --> 00:18:23.429
He did the small things Hoyol v'hu she'roscha b'cho kocho.

00:18:23.429 --> 00:18:26.088
He toiled.

00:18:26.088 --> 00:18:30.270
He took care of you with all of his strength.

00:18:30.270 --> 00:18:34.885
Kedai hu, she'yishamesh es yisrael she'enoy me'abetz haro.

00:18:34.885 --> 00:18:38.128
He is the chosen one.

00:18:38.128 --> 00:18:46.209
Does Torah open itself up to the smartest one?

00:18:46.209 --> 00:18:59.992
No, torah opens up itself and all of its beauty, all of its perfection, to the one that rises early to straighten the chairs and stays late to smooth the tablecloths and prepare the study hall.

00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:01.884
What lives in this medrash?

00:19:01.884 --> 00:19:06.342
Clearly and obviously and plainly, it's for us to see.

00:19:06.342 --> 00:19:16.869
Because Yeshua loved it, befriended it, took care of it, made it the most important thing in his life.

00:19:16.869 --> 00:19:19.105
He was omal for it.

00:19:19.105 --> 00:19:20.685
He didn't just have pain.

00:19:20.685 --> 00:19:29.113
That's not what amelos means, but it means try to convince and earn the trust and love and ingratiate yourself with Torah.

00:19:29.113 --> 00:19:35.265
So it says, ah, this person really wants me, this person really gets me, I'll give him another date.

00:19:35.265 --> 00:19:38.865
That's what amelos is about, because the Torah lives.

00:19:40.340 --> 00:19:56.230
These aren't just figures of speech but with this new idea that Torah is alive, it's walking around looking for people to open up and listen to it.

00:19:56.230 --> 00:20:00.789
So many different concepts throughout Tanakh become clear.

00:20:00.789 --> 00:20:07.307
So many gemaras and midrashim become enjoyable different, powerful, deep.

00:20:07.307 --> 00:20:16.326
They're not just figures of speech describing Torah as a thing, but it's alive.

00:20:16.326 --> 00:20:22.285
The mushels are so easy, they're plentiful.

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:29.684
Imagine it that you stay up late and wash the dishes After a long day.

00:20:29.684 --> 00:20:31.967
You're a gentleman, you open up the door for Torah.

00:20:31.967 --> 00:20:34.444
How does their spouse, how does Torah?

00:20:34.444 --> 00:20:37.372
How is it that that person, that living Torah, is going to look at you?

00:20:37.372 --> 00:20:43.887
You donate for it, you put it on a pedestal, you pet it, you take care of it.

00:20:44.102 --> 00:20:57.346
When you do that for Torah not just toiling with pain, but toiling by living and making it the most important thing, like that, that's amelos bat Torah.

00:20:57.346 --> 00:20:58.523
That should tee you.

00:20:58.523 --> 00:20:59.647
Amelon bat Torah.

00:20:59.647 --> 00:21:07.609
Some people are even willing to catch a grenade for Torah.

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:13.430
Give up everything for Torah, those people, they earn the real prize.

00:21:13.430 --> 00:21:20.147
They really stay up late and hear all about Torah's feelings.

00:21:20.147 --> 00:21:29.270
Torah opens up to them with all of its life stories and this living, fiery, hot Torah.

00:21:29.270 --> 00:21:36.007
It reciprocates when you're omel for it and it feels special and treasured.

00:21:36.007 --> 00:21:39.342
That's what amilos means.

00:21:39.342 --> 00:21:44.210
It means to court, it means to be a gentleman.

00:21:44.210 --> 00:22:03.760
It means to laud, protect, obsess, cherish and protect this living female entity of perfection that's called the Torah Literally lives.

00:22:03.760 --> 00:22:06.425
That's what it means.

00:22:06.645 --> 00:22:14.203
Cherish Torah, make it the most important thing.

00:22:14.203 --> 00:22:19.920
When you do that, cherish Torah, make it the most important thing Shetihi you amelim baTorah.

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:34.268
When you do that, torah wants to get cozy with you and Torah wants to give you everything and the rains v'nasati gishmeichem be'ita munasah aretz yavula ve'eita hasad ha'yitim perio.

00:22:34.268 --> 00:22:41.148
Keep this in mind.

00:22:41.148 --> 00:22:52.767
Internalize this living Torah's chayim and look for it throughout all of Shas and see how this vart is.

00:22:52.767 --> 00:23:00.003
Just so, ms from Yerubal, work hard in Torah.

00:23:00.003 --> 00:23:08.891
Show everyone, including Torah, that you're in love with it and you want it to open up all of its wisdom to you.

00:23:08.891 --> 00:23:12.106
Be Amal BaTorah.

00:23:12.106 --> 00:23:22.422
It's as simple as that, because if you are Amal BaTorah, torah falls back in love with you and gives you everything that it has to offer.

00:23:22.422 --> 00:23:24.028
That's what it means.

00:23:24.028 --> 00:23:31.083
And Bechukos Ha'eteleichu Sh'tihi Amalim BaTorah.
