Skipping A Shiur Torah (10 Minutes)
Rabbi Yaron Reuven discusses the importance of attending a shiur Torah, emphasizing that skipping it is not a small matter. He references the Gemara, highlighting how close proximity to a rabbi during learning is valued. The rabbi stresses that treating a shiur Torah with disrespect is akin to disregarding HaShem's instructions. He compares it to being in great pain and refusing the help of a doctor who can cure you. He explains that missing a shiur is a missed opportunity to learn directly from a rabbi, a privilege not available online or in books. Rabbi Reuven concludes by sharing his own experience of neglecting shiurim, acknowledging that prioritizing worldly matters over Torah study is a mistake.

0:10What's a big sin, rabosai? Big sin, usually we talk about a big sin, we talk about chilul Shabbat, somebody's driving on Shabbat, it's a big sin, right? Somebody eats not kosher, it's a big sin. Somebody's not guarding their eyes, it's a big sin. These are big sins. Does anybody think that not coming to a shiur Torah is a big sin? Again, I'm not saying it's good. I'm saying sin.
1:36That's that. All of his wisdom is thanks to the fact that I saw his teacher, Rabbi Meir, standing as firm beyond. And I saw a video and it was much greater; I saw his front, and I am sorry for that. I guess that was some type of seating arrangement, and I always saw him from that. I saw the back of my teacher. I was close enough to learn the Mishnah, to write the Mishnah for everybody, for all generations forever. Meaning, to be close to the rabbi is a big deal. So now, what about someone who doesn't think it's a big deal? He says, "Listen, I'll go to shiur once in a while. If I don't go, I'll watch it on YouTube." If I don't go, I'll get the next one. There's always going to be another one. The Gemara, in Masechet Sanhedrin, page 99a, says, כל שאפשר לעסוק בתורה ולא עוסק, "anyone that can engage in Torah study and does not, has forfeited an opportunity to connect with Hashem at that moment."
2:55But does not. Doesn't do it. Dineh k'davar asham baze. They judge him in shamayim, after the pasuk that we learned recently, in Parashat Shelach, k'davar Adonai baze. What does it say here? In Chapter 15, Book of Numbers, Bamidbar. פרס 31, כדבר אדוני בזה ואת מצוותו הפר יכרת תיכרת הנפש ההיא עוונה בה. החכמים סיה פרסון דה קין פרופילה מצווה, תגט שכר הליכה תגוד השיעור תורה, תגט קלוסר תה רב או אין שוזר נטו, תגט מסתכא בי סייז או דו אין נקס מונט. לדעת, אבל הוא אומר, אין, אתם יודעים מה, אני אראה את זה אחרי המחל. אני אראה את זה אחרי המחל. אני אראה את המצווה עכשיו, לא, אבל אני אראה את זה אחרי המחל. הוא אומר, איזה פרסון נגד זה, כי הוא נגד הלב של השם, ונגד המחילה שלו, איזה פרסון נגד בקטן, קטן, איזה פרסון נגד בו.
4:22פרסון יכול ליטרלי לוז אולם אבא של איזה דבר. זה היה חידוש שלו. אני חושב שזה לא טוב. אין לי חדשות עד שאני אדריך את זה, גמרא, זה מוזר. למה? למה זה מוזר? למה זה מוזר לנסות אתך? למה זה מוזר לנסות את המצווה? למה? בזה את מצוות השם. Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham, Asham. I'll send you the check as soon as I get done, and I take my kids to school, and I make sandwiches, and I talk to my wife for three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine hours, and I do all those things. Then, hopefully, I'll remember to do something. What did you say again? I forgot already. Call me. Call me in six hours. Remind me. We treated Hashem's mitzvot like a human being told us to do this.
5:36Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem Onf onf onf onf onf onf. Just to go to the rabbi and say, "Please bless my child." Who is he? "Oh, he's in Alaska now with his friends, but can you bless him?" You waited three hours in line to get a blessing from the rabbi? Yes. Can't you just send an email? You can't send an email? No. Why? There's something special. Why? I'm next to him. I'm next to him. I can touch him. I can see him with my eyes, not just some digital image of him.
6:55Now, if you don't have the opportunity because you live in Alaska and the rabbi is in New York, okay, that's a different story. You're not being disrespectful, you just don't have the ability. You don't have the option, you live in the middle of nowhere, and he's in the middle of a different nowhere, and unfortunately, your nowheres are not close to each other. That's a different story. But if he's next door, he's a half-hour, he's an hour, he's two hours from your house, and you don't go? But to the casino, you're going to go for two hours. To the wedding, you're going to fly for three hours on a plane. For the vacation, you're going to travel six or seven hours on a plane just to hang out with a bunch of your friends from high school that you haven't seen, and it makes sense together. For that, you'll go for half a day. But to go to Shiur Torah, no, no, it's far. How far? It's 37 minutes. Were you carrying the car in your head the whole time? Wow, you must be strong. ke'davar Adonai baze, ke'davar Adonai baze, ke'davar Adonai baze.
8:23I don't want you. I don't want your Torah. I don't want you. I don't want your Torah. I don't want you to learn. And by the way, don't talk to me anymore. Oh, you prayed to me when it was painful? You know, you broke your leg and it hurt, right? And the Vicodin didn't work? And the Percocet didn't work? And you were really in pain? And none of the nurses were able to do anything about it? Oh, it hurt, right? Oh, yeah. You know why? Because I wasn't listening to you. You know why I didn't listen to you? Because you didn't listen to me. Midah K'neged Midah. or or or or or or or or or or כי דבר אדוני בזה, כי דבר אדוני בזה, כי דבר אדוני בזה, כי דבר אדוני בזה, כי דבר אדוני בזה, כי דבר אדוני בזה, כי דבר אדוני בזה, כי דבר אדוני בזה, כי דבר אדוני בזה.
