[Music] we agreed last time that we will we will study P because that's the season of p and we will explore it my way paragraph by paragraph that is if that's what you wish otherwise we can go back again to other topics such as the continuation of The Commandments and so forth but it's a fascinating subject subject because I mean p is a very interesting book if we learn it according to its historical aspect as well as its own moral values because the main reason why a was uh was given to us was in order to enhance our moralities to make us become better and we call it the book of aot means the fathers and why is it called the fathers why do we call it the book of the fathers it's because the real fathers that we have are the fathers that teach us the law teach us the Torah the great sages of the generations are our real fathers the fathers that bring us to the world to come like the talmud says and also we find in the Bible about eliahu the prophet that he had a disciple another great prophet maybe the greatest prophet of all Elisha Eli was the disciple of elahi when the time came that elah departed from his disciples so the the Bible is uh is drawing a picture that is memorable for those who study the Bible it remains in their mind as a vivid picture that eliahu goes up to heaven on his Chariot and that's how he departed from his disciples from his disciple Elisha
