hey everybody I want to share with you a lesson from the curus today you know the curus was the most beloved service in the entire bases why so there's a lot of reasons and I want to share with you one that's very relevant to our days and it ends with the following line tar says had you put in a little bit of date honey you could not stand because it would smell so good and then then it says says why don't we put in then says okay we got a problem with why because it's too overwhelming and T says don't put it near me not when you do sacrifices what is it with honey that God has a problem with so cleara says honey stands for something it stands for physical pleasure it's sweet and so it represents things that are sweet and we live a life where since we were born we live a life where since we were born we like things sweet we like candy and the candy just gets bigger and bigger and bigger as you get older but we like to taste and feel and touch and experience things that taste good hasem says wonderful not in the not don't put it into the guaras why because there's a lesson here that's super powerful you know we all want to have good lives and we all want to have sweet lives and we all want to have physical pleasure but we also want to serve Hashem it's a great dichotomy
