What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yitzchak Sakhai’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

foreign [Music] so the parashah this week talks about a few things one of the mitzvot that we hear about in this week's parasha is the Mitzvah of keeping Shabbos Shabbat I don't think that we truly understand the value of Shabbat all in all and the importance of Shabbat all and the importance of Shabbat I think you if you would take the entire Torah and you would try to analyze as to what mitzvah is the greatest Mitzvah in the entire Torah you would probably find yourself coming back to shabbat the most important Mitzvah of the Torah is Shabbat it is mentioned numerous times in the Torah about keeping Shabbat in numerous ways the absolute absolute only thing that the absolute absolute only thing that overrides Shabbat is human life saving a life as I mentioned this past Shabbat who says build the mishkan for me and right after he says build me a mishkan says and you shall not work on Shabbat keep the Shabbat why are these two connected because Hashem was telling Bene Israel even when it comes to you building my home building my home once it's Shabbat stop not even My Sanctuary is important enough compared to shabbat Shabbat you need to stop it is basically what makes the Jewish world go around and unfortunately unfortunately and I'll say unfortunately again because many Jews in the world have not tapped in have not been able to or don't understand enough to be able to tap into this wonderful gift of Shabbat
