[Music] with Hashem's loving grace. Welcome to Liotan. with Hashem's loving grace. Tonight we conclude Torah 55 and we're going to learn a beautiful upward spiral going to learn a beautiful upward spiral that the more we enhance our amuna that the better we pray and then the better we pray the closer we get to Hashem and then the closer we get to Hashem the more we become purified and that way even a person outside the land of Israel by attaining a level of holiness a level of purification he attains the aspect of the land of Israel which is a very special holiness and that's why the the play on words in Hebrew and Aramaic play on words in Hebrew and Aramaic where the Israel the land of Israel is called the land of the dear that's the name of tonight's lesson and in Hebrew means a dear in Aramaic it means beloved endeared something very uh we talk in Shabbat in the afternoon about that this such a desirable time to to the to the holy one and this is something very very desirable. This is and that's it. And desirable. This is and that's it. And also when land of the deer uh it's also called land of Gomorrah explains that the reason land of Israel is called land of the deer. When a deer is alive and vibrant, the skin is enough to cover the whole deer. But if the deer is slaughtered or dies and then you skin the deer, then the skin shrivels up and becomes small. It's the same thing that the land of Israel becomes shriveled up and very small when the Jewish people are in exile. But when they're there, it can hold millions and millions and millions and millions as a secret.
