What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Hidabroot - Torah & Judaism’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
The Zohar does give a bit of a liberal interpretation of uh of what a mitzvah is. The Zohar calls the mitzvot a bunch of advice. Aitzot, advice. I think that would go better in today's, you know, mindset terminology where, you know, you no one should tell me what to do, not even Hashem, which is very ridiculous. I don't don't think I support such an ideology. But on some level, the mitzvot are also advice. Advice. Hashem's giving us great advice. Who better than Hashem that created us and the world knows how we should navigate through the difficulties of life. So, on some level, the mitzvot are advice, but that doesn't mean they're not commandments. They're both. They're commandments and they're advice. Think we could appreciate it like this. The more mature we are, the more we understand, and the more responsible we can be, so then we could look deeper into the mitzvah as obviously sensible and great advice how to navigate through what we're trying to accomplish ourselves. But when you educate a child, so you're you have to use a language that's suitable to the child. The child lacks an an a sophisticated intellectual process and ability to understand the depth of things. So, you have to say, "This is not allowed. This is bad." So, when you're speaking to beginner, beginners, chil- so to speak, chil- children, and and and and as mankind, we go through our child stage and our adult stage, so we have to be very clear about terms. When you tell a child why she should avoid something, say, "That's bad. It's not allowed. You're not allowed to
