[Music] tonight we're going to be counting in a few minutes is love and gor is Judgment or restriction or any type of when do I stop something there are many ways to explain what gor is in general gor can be can be strange can be severity but the way how we want to relate with today with like I told you the entire week is about love this is the week of love and like I mentioned before that love is what what uh what gets us going through many many situations if you have love in your life you can survive many tough situations but unfortunately it's not so simple to love other people I can love a few people that are very close to me that are easy to love and a lot of the people in my life I don't really love them and sometimes because it's extremely hard to love them sometimes because I don't feel like loving them right now so the severity in love the the strength in love is the that I have to really work work hard to love another person this the word in Hebrew is m a lot of hard work to be able to love another person that's the m is like uh not strain but mamat is when you really work hard result effort result uh result no result will be more the uh it's not result I I I actually like more effort uh but even effort is not I'll give you an example mamat is if I have to move 20 lbs there's no mamat there ah easily I move it move 200 lbs that requires a lot
