good evening ladies and gentlemen i'm really hoping that this pair shavuot was a matan torah that is going to lead to nothing less than the coming of mashiach i'm hoping that we started with kaloto brackem we went up the mountain that night and stayed up all night and i tell you the truth this year by us we had 150 guys sitting and learning torah with a unbelievable cold torah all night there was a fire in the room it was tangible it was a year like we never had before this was a matan torah that is memorable and i'm really hoping that this maya that we all had on this past matanto is going to be the beginning of the rays of the coming of mashiach foreign i want you to use your imagination i want you to picture a scene a very odd scene taking place on shabbat kodesh where you have a rabbi on a horse riding alongside him his student is walking and the two of them are talking in the deepest depths of torah on shabbat now this isn't some figurative situation this actually took place this was the story of a man by the name of elisha ben avuya he was also known as ache someone without going into the entire story that the tells us because it's not an easy story to tell over but aher went off to he was once a great rabbi and he went off to tarbut he went off the path he left judaism but he was still a giant in torah so let's go back and picture this scene is riding a horse desecrating shabbat alongside him is walking his student none other than rabbi mayer and they're talking in the deep depths of torah
