0:01 we have the incredible privilege of the shabboshy parshas ki-savo and amongst the incredible things that happened in the parasha mosh gives a fascinating command to claudia moshe says the cloudy so here's what i want you to do i want you 0:15 to go ahead posix says this is in paris is when we enter into the land of israel he wants us to erect a series of large stones and what's written on those large stones what's wrong with large stones torah torah 0:38 and in fact rashi says tonal 70 languages almost an idea that at the entry at the border of earth's israel torah is there to teach you that this is a land that is based on torah this is a land whose 0:51 very whose heart beats based on torah this is a land whose identity is intertwined with that kodushbar khan torah you know i'll tell you i've often felt this passage you know when you when you go to ben gurion and you 1:03 walk into the airport right before you get to customs you know there's that huge mezuzah that's sitting there on the doorpost it's incredible that that's that that's what motivated wanted moshe wayne wanted kash baruch who wanted that when you walk 1:16 in tara to israel the first thing you see is the mezuzah the first thing you see is torah because you understand that this is not any ordinary land but this is a land that is the heart of amishiro this is 1:27 the land that is the heart of torah this is the land that is the heart of the rebel shalom and the passage goes on and says this is in perhaps chapter 27 verse 8 is called and you shall go ahead 1:42 and write on these on these stones it's called divya tara's all the words of the torah samoan says what are you going to write on the stones you're going to write it again the entire torah bear hey as you just mentioned 1:52 rashford bear hey tave well explained means in all 70 languages says something so beautiful he explains that phrase you shall go ahead and write on the stones all of these words of torah listen to the words of the rabbi f 2:14 de divre torah the words of torah are so strong and so powerful that they could even penetrate stones you see a stone is usually something that is impervious to everything else stone is a hard surface nothing gets through a stone 2:30 nothing breaks a stone except for words of torah the kasafta even on stones even on rocks even on slabs of rock words of torah could leave their imprints and i'll say what an incredible idea that's when moshbeinu was telling us 2:51 to write torah in ours why didn't you say write it on scrolls and deposit the scrolls at the entrance way of the land no moshe says the tradition was teaching us an incredible lesson that torah can even be inscribed on 3:03 stone or maybe better stated torah could even be inscribed on a heart of stone sometimes we think that we are unchangeable sometimes we think that because of our life circumstances or because of things that we've undergone or closed off simply 3:20 closed off i'm done i'm done nothing could really change me nothing could really impact me nothing could really have have an effect on me and comes on motion of anyone says you know sometimes in life my heart turns to stone 3:33 that happens for so many reasons sometimes it's just because of general life apathy sometimes it's because of anger and sometimes it's because that really bad stuff has happened in life sometimes even the softest sweetest heart turns to stone as a 3:48 result of life circumstances and you may think that once your heart turns to stone that's it you're done comes like most parishes you know what you need to do just allow the words of torah to enter your heart just allow 4:09 it just allow it whether that means that you go and you learn you go to ashir you listen online whatever you do you dive in with a little bit more kavanagh if you just push yourself a little bit to gravitate 4:22 towards torah you will find something amazing they will imprint on your heart i not my heart my heart is a heart of stone even on stones even on a heart of stone you can imprint you could write and you could 4:43 inscribe torah an incredible message of hope no matter what's happened to us in life no matter how many wrong turns we have made no matter how hardened we have become internally or externally just give torah a chance just allow yourself 5:00 the exposure just allow yourself to imbibe the words of torah allow yourself a little bit of learning allow yourself to share allow yourself a little bit of melodic tephila just give yourself that exposure and you will see that it changes 5:15 you you will see that the words will sit on your heart and even if your heart hashalam is a heart of stone those words will become engraved those worlds will become emblazoned those words will become part of you wishing everyone 5:32 a good an heir of shabbos and a beautiful shabbos kodesh
