When You Have Two Quarterbacks.....

This Torah class is brought to you by Torahanytime.com

The first myths were given to the Jewish people was a Khayda Shazel-Akan

The command to establish the lunar calendar beginning with Khayda Shazel-Akan means this month is yours

The responsibility of establishing the month and all the armament in it was entrusted to the Jewish people

This myths were highlights the difference between world time and Jewish time

The calendar of the Umas al-Alam is tied to the sun which is fixed at 365 days a year

The sun represents consistency and permanence

The sun reflects a system with any Khayda Shazel-Akan

Everything appears constant and unchanging

The Jewish calendar, however, follows the moon which waxes and wanes each month

From darkness it slowly grows full

Then it fades again until it seems to disappear

The word Khayda Shazel-Akan comes from the word Khayda Shazel-Akan

The moon symbolizes renewal

Even when it seems gone, a small sliver of light reappears

Reminding us that hope can always return

As Khayda Shazel-Akan is traditionally considered a special day for women

Women refrain from certain types of work on Khayda Shazel-Akan

Why was this day given specifically to women?

So the commander says when the Jewish people warm its ryan

Empowered the creed that every newborn Jewish boy be thrown into the Nile

The situation seemed hopeless

So overwhelmed by despair and grief

Many of the men divorced their wives

Believing there was no point in bringing children into such a cruel world

But the women had the opposite approach

They had faith

They displayed extraordinary strength or resilience

Even after witnessing unimaginable acts of cruelty

They be torn from their mother's arms

And children cemented a life into brick walls

The women refused to surrender to hopelessness

They beautify themselves and encourage their husbands

Bringing children into a world filled with uncertainty and pain

And through their courage and faith

They ensured the continuity of the Jewish people

The women saw what the moon represents

Even when everything appears dark

Renewal is still possible

Just as the moon disappears and then is reborn each month

The women of Khayda Shazel believed

That even the deepest darkness could give way to new light

Therefore, Mida Kanagan Mida

Women were given Rashchaidash

The day their embodies renewal and resilience

And hope as their personal yantaf

As a famous Gamara Masecht is whole

The Gamara says

That originally when the moon was created

It was equal and brilliance to the sun

However, the moon complained to us

Rebanishalan

Aftala Shnaim al-Akhanshi is Tamshubakas

Is that possible for two kings to wear the same crown

One must be subordinate to the other

This reminds me of a great quote from the legendary football coach Jamad

He once said

If you have two quarterbacks

Then essentially you have no quarterback

The quarterback is the leader of the team

The team needs one clear leader

So as Shem responded to the moon

Lehi Maati Satsmikh

Go and diminish yourself

And from that moment on

The sun became the dominant celestial body

However, Khazal say

In order to console the moon

As Shem created countless stars

To accompany the moon at night

To have the miracle says in the hillm

To have the miracle says in the hillm

Moin a miss for like a chauvin

The coulum Shem Sikra

As Shem counts the number of all the stars

And he gives each one of them a name

And this is truly remarkable

There are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy

And they all look identical to us

But that the Rebanishlan

Each one is precious and unique

He counts each one of them individually

And gives each one of them a name

When something is dear to you

He calls it by name

Khazal say

The Jewish people are compared to the stars

Just like the stars are precious to Hashem

So too every single Jew is precious to Hashem

I want to see a powerful idea

From a black box

There is the Shiva of Detroit

He asks

Why are the stars so beloved to Hashem

Why not the other luminaries

The sun or the moon

What makes the stars so special

The entire purpose of the stars was to comfort the moon

They were created solely to make another creation feel better

So he says

Any one or anything

Whose soul function and purpose

Is to make someone else feel better

Is beloved by their Rebanishlan

Hashem cherishes sensitivity

He loves those who lift up others

That is why collisers compare to the stars

Because our mission is to bring light

And comfort and hope to others

And perhaps

That is why collisers also compare to the moon

The moon reminds us that

Even when our light seems diminished

We are never gone

We will rise again

But the moon also teaches us something else

We are here to add light to this dark world

If we forget our mission

Then just like the moon

We may be forced to diminish our light

But if we use the moon

Then just like the moon

We may be forced to diminish our light

But if we use our light to brighten the lives of others

Then just like the stars in the night sky

We are loved and cherished by Hashem

And now

We know

Have a wonderful day
