Okay, good morning friends. Say for a couple of time on the Torah parshas B'chukotai. In B'chukotai Rashi famously says sh'ti'u ameilim baTorah. Harish ikar hahalicha b'chukotai haTorah hu ha'ameil. The main way that one walks in the statutes of the Torah is through ameilus v'al ov nitzavin u that's what we're commanded to do. B'nei Brak is chofetz chaim umad beis. Anu ameilim zev siman sh'achto we refer to this at a siyum. Anu ameilim v'heim ameilim. Anu ameilim umikablim sachar v'heim ameilim umikablim sachar. The question is it needs biur. Klum ro'eh ish omer chayat toifer beged o sandlar min olam v'einam mishtalmin? What's going on over here? We're saying we work and we get paid and they work and they don't get paid. What do you mean they don't get paid? You ever saw a tailor do work and not get paid? You ever see a guy make pair of shoes and not get paid? Oi klum efshar adom sh'adom sh'yagiv ameil b'zeh eis umalacha chaveiro v'lo yaveh al chorai? What do you mean they don't get paid? Who does Who exactly doesn't get paid? Everyone gets paid. So what exactly does that mean heim ameilim v'einam mikablim sachar? There's nobody in this world that works for fun. Nobody's doing it for fun. Aval inyan ukach. B'noig sh'ba'olam mishashech v'lo beged o min olam ba'al poel yamo b'zeias apayim kol hayom v'kol halaila v'lo
