I gave a shear a little while ago a couple weeks ago about torah' the greatness of Torah and what I wanted to do is complete it tonight to finish up with some of the ideas of how do we understand that Torah so great because it says that combattre can negate Coulomb that Talmud Torah is greater than all the mistress the other 612 metrics combined and it went through many ideas in order to understand the many ideas in order to understand the concept but I want to cover tonight certain ideas within which in a certain way finalizes the idea although of course is always more much there's always much more to say and so on you know I had mentioned that older versions actions okay are done through what's called the ten forces all the spheres and each action that he does God has a certain name for that you see certain name for that you see so therefore what the total really is as the Ramban says is is the names of God and what that means is that that is that the Torah is the complete repository of all the acts of God that he has ever done concerning this creation that's basically what it is and therefore every act that he does he has a certain name for it which really is a certain combination of spheres and has the name
