for may give us all to come together for another year and of >> so let's begin with the comments of the smag the safer mitzvah of mo of ki if you look in The shanim was written by the we know that there's 613 mitzvah. The truth is it's not necessarily so. Not everybody agrees there 613 mitzvah. There's an opinion at the end of the 611 plus that's 613. The ram says that's his opinion. Doesn't mean everybody agrees to that other tan hold they're more than 613 it's Ramban but the Messiah and Israel is they're 613 and many speak at length what exactly are the 613 what are they so the smag writes in mitzvah members so classifies the mitzvah of is it's a mitzvah to blow the he says meaning if you don't blow the cha you blew it okay so that's the smug the comes the now you should know the shus is a revolutionary safer what's so revolutionary about the shus he's the first one to ever write I'll say there par until the you want to write a parish on the like the Ramban like rashi like you write on the you want to write like the Rambam like the rash like the riff so you write to write on the para it's like a contemporary type of idea it was revolutionary it was new age why did he do it if you look in the mir says that had made he had kid who wasn't learning. So contrary to uh popular opinion that well we can't do this because it's not the is you teach your kids whatever works whatever method works. If you need to teach on the par you need to teach on the figure out a way that works
