What’s said in this shiur

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

not really the end of the rambam saktama i just want to go back a little bit and go over something i think i may have spoken about this a few months ago but uh it's actually no gay it's connected to the parsha as well and that is uh the order of how the bhaksav was given because again the whole outcome of the rambam is to understand the oral law but the torsion box of itself has has some interesting problems and that is tells us moshe kibel torah messina tells us moshe kibel torah messina moshe received the whole torah at mount on mount sinai and then he gave that torah to yahushua and the torah that moshe received includes both the torah shibaksav and the turish of alpha so the first thing that we have to understand is what is the meaning of torah what does the word torah mean sometimes torah means the five books of moses sometimes torah means everything that sometimes torah means everything that you learn there may be different definitions of torah talmud torah doesn't just mean you learn the five books of moses and there's a real problem in saying moshe got the torah on c night because har sinai is in the middle of the torah in fact it was the first year after we left mitzrayim now there are many many things in the torah that take place after harsinai the story of diego the story of diego the story of the miragum the story of korach so what do we mean that moshe benu got everything at harcina so the answer basically is that the meaning of torah in that sentence does not refer to the five books of moses moshe did not get the five books of moses at mount sinai moshe got the 613 mitzvos that's what torah means in the 40 days
