[Music] now what this idea of God standing on Jacob our God sailing with us when we do what we're supposed to do allows us to go back and redefine the meaning of life according to Judaism different from what we did when we did two-letter olive if you go back to our classes on olive a couple of weeks ago we defined good as that which connects me to God and evils that which distances me so everyone look up for a second because I want to want to do the hand motions for you if good is that which connects me got Knievel's out which justices me and I kept emphasizing when we did the class on olive the definition of good and evil have nothing to do with what you like right good as that which connects me to God even if I hate it it was that much distance me even I loved it but now that we've done the letter Beit and we see that when God makes you in His image and gives you God like free will and then why is your free will it's as machinery as to how the world runs so basically what he's telling you is when you do good meaning when you learn Torah keep mitzvahs right and you create a connection to God you don't realize it but the impact of that connection is generating positive spiritual voltage which is traveling the spiritual realm and causing godliness to be brought down closer into your world and when you lie cheat and steal god forbid and damage yourself and damage other people you're not using
