I've been speaking about the greatness of Torah III actually I've done it in two parts you know what I want to do today is to talk about the same concept of greatness of Torah but the sort of like part three and in that way as not as a finale because you can always talk about the greatness of turrets on you know but certainly to bring certain ideas some of them I lecture talked ideas some of them I lecture talked about a long time ago but the concept of you know what what is the greatness of Torah and I've we've seen that the the classic Kazan of course the Talmud Torah can negate Coulomb and that of course tells us that the Torah is greater than all mitzvahs combined and I've been going into that the first thing to understand I don't qualify I've ever said this but I have said I said I think on different occasions whatever when we on different occasions whatever when we talk about the greatness of Torah there's a very interesting story that really illustrates in a certain sense the quantity of Torah and really we really have no concept of how much there really is you know the the example people you that we can use is an iceberg but we know that 10% of the iceberg is above water 90% is below the water of the iceberg you know that floats and the doctor consol you know most of reality
