Discover the transformative power of "La Medeni" in our latest episode, where we unravel the fascinating interplay between Moshe, Aron, and the act of learning. Our journey through the Karbon Pesach reveals how the simple request to "Teach me" can ignite a passion for knowledge transcending time. Join us as we delve into the significance of collaborative study and how it breathes life into the pages of the Torah, ensuring its vibrancy and relevance in every generation.

This episode is not just a lesson in religious observance but a masterclass in the art of instruction and the exchange of wisdom. We look closer at the profound respect and mutual enrichment of asking others to share their understanding. Be it between students and teachers or amongst peers and loved ones, the "Lamdeini" principle is a universal key to unlocking the potential for growth and excitement in every facet of our lives. Please tune in to learn how to apply this ancient wisdom to maintain curiosity and prevent the burnout so common in our fast-paced world.

00:00:01.401 --> 00:00:10.518
It is impossible to find life boring or one's Torah study colorless and uninspiring.

00:00:10.518 --> 00:00:23.649
If we internalize this mindset, it is from one of the very first mitzvahs given to the Jewish people, the Karbon Pesach that comes along with it a plethora of halachos.

00:00:23.649 --> 00:00:43.844
The Torah uses an odd word Dabiru El-Kol Adashi's Trial that the mitzvah should be told to the Jewish people as Dabiru, speaking to Moshe, go and speak to them and tell them that they should go and get a lamb, a kid, tied to the bedpost on the 10th of Nisan.

00:00:43.844 --> 00:00:47.185
But Dabiru is plural.

00:00:47.185 --> 00:00:54.350
It is two people speaking, but we have already been told that it is Moshe who will be doing the speaking.

00:00:54.350 --> 00:00:56.728
So why Dabiru, dabiru El-Kol Adashi?

00:00:56.728 --> 00:00:59.320
And because Aron is Dabiru, and why not Aron Adashi?

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.950
Is it Aron or is it Moshe?

00:01:02.950 --> 00:01:04.043
Why is it plural?

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:24.965
El-kol-kin covered Zelozeh, but Moshe and Aron were giving honor to each other and they were sitting as a Chavrusashaft study partners, telling each other La Medeni, teach me the commandment that we just heard from Hashem, the hadibur, yod seh mi b'in shne'em.

00:01:24.965 --> 00:01:36.123
And so the speech, the new mitzvah, was taught to the assembly of Israel as emerging between the two of them, keelushne'em Medabrim, as if both were speaking.

00:01:36.123 --> 00:01:45.942
Moshe and Aron knew the mitzvah Clear, you knew what to say and how to educate the people, but together, back and forth.

00:01:45.942 --> 00:01:48.850
La Medeni, brother, I want to learn.

00:01:48.850 --> 00:01:50.022
Tell it to me again.

00:01:50.022 --> 00:01:51.742
What animal should we take?

00:01:51.742 --> 00:01:52.746
How do we do it?

00:01:52.746 --> 00:01:56.629
They were giving honor to each other just to hear it again and let the other one speak.

00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:02.983
But between the two of them arguing in their milchoma of Tyra, the heavenly voice came forth.

00:02:02.983 --> 00:02:16.305
One single voice came forth and educated the people, all from two different people saying I want to learn, la Medeni, from one of the very first mitzvahs we get.

00:02:16.305 --> 00:02:24.032
We are taught how to fight burnout, how to stay excited and why educators are so thirsty for more information.

00:02:24.032 --> 00:02:28.110
Because they live and they learn with Alamdani, teach me.

00:02:28.110 --> 00:02:33.385
They already maybe know the mitzvah, they know the halacha, but they want to know what their students have to say.

00:02:33.385 --> 00:02:37.871
They want to know about the great college of life and what it has to say.

00:02:37.871 --> 00:02:39.725
They want to know what their spouse has to say.

00:02:39.725 --> 00:03:02.040
Everything is there to be an education, the motion ironed back and forth in one of the very first mitzvahs that is given to us, but the outline and fully encapsulating the idea that we must learn with, and that is La Medeni, teach me, I want to learn.
