Okay, here's the second offering. If you remember in this week's parsha in this past week parshas Korach Moshe Rabbeinu says to Korach, you know in our religion there's only one way of doing things. By the gentiles Rashi says perak 19 there are many customs there are many rituals many priests. But us only we only have one God. One one one one altar. And your 250 guys you all want to be No, there can only be one Okay, that's the rule. There could only be one Really? There can only be one altar. What happened by the parshas Chukas parshas Chukas. parshas Chukas parshas Chukas. By the parshas Chukas parshas Chukas. By the way, the reason why we're learning Chumash this morning is cuz today is the special day. Today is the summer solstice. Yeah? It's the longest day of the year. So the Midrash says that when Moshe Rabbeinu went up to Har Sinai, how did he know when it was day and how did he know when it was night? He didn't have a clock. So the Midrash says when Hashem taught him he knew it was day. When Hashem taught him he knew it was night. So today is the longest day of the year So today is the longest day of the year you have to learn extra stuff. Okay. Ah, so the question is does that mean you shouldn't learn at night? So Chassidim have a with that. But the Mishna Berurah says in Shulchan Aruch Orach it's just that when you're arranging your schedule ideally ideally if you could schedule the during the day and learn Torah up at night, ideal. Let's say you come home at night 9:30 and you're too tired to learn Gemara.
