it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi megaliths welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
is Pontius kisi se the question of the
week is how can you keep your spiritual
fire alive so in this week's Torah
portion actually the end of the Torah
portion we learn about the mitzvah of
the Torah with God tells us to remember
what a Malik did to us when we left
Egypt and not only to remember but we
should not forget what he did to us
so Ron she says that what what's the
issue here a Malik amali came at a time
when the Jewish people's fire was alive
and they came to cool down the fire so
therefore God does not want that enemy
that's here to destroy you at your core
to be remembered and therefore you have
to totally obliterate it and how do you
obliterate it nobody should remained no
no live human being but not only live
human being in Rashi says a male female
or older person a younger person an
animal any type of animal you should
totally destroy them this way you will
remember that enemy that came to cool
you down
so drubbing asks a very simple question
if we are to destroy our Malik as the
Torah describes so clearly how come
there's no prohibition against
remembering or actually why don't we
have why don't we have an obligation
also to get rid of all the inanimate
objects the look the physical location
or anything physical that existed mama
like but in Hebrew that's called a
domain so the Rebbe explains because
ultimately what is the fight of Amalek
I'm only came along to cool down your
fire to make you cold to make you
apathetic to God and the Judaism enter
religion now what's the way to combat
that the way to combat that is one way
to combat that one way only and that is
something which is called in Hebrew
Kabbalah all which means without
engaging
getting involved in a fight most by
saying guess what I am remaining loyal
to God just like a rock does not move
and same thing I'm not moving off my
position you can have the best logical
reason or emotional reason why God is
not great and Judaism is not great and
religion is not important
unlike a rock I'm standing strong with
my position so therefore so in the
inanimate objects in the domain of life
there's no where Molly couldn't gain
success because domain is not
susceptible to anything other than its
position however when it comes to life
force whether it's a human being or an
animal over there you can easily get
swayed because any anyone that has a
better feed will get will attract the
animal whether it's the physical almo or
the animal within you and therefore that
has to be totally obliterated however
when it comes to the inanimate a tract
that cannot take them only cannot take
over and that's the lesson that we learn
from inanimate objects to remain strong
to God is by taking the position of a
inanimate object when it comes to
defending Amalek so the answer the
question how do we keep our fire burning
alive to take the lesson from a rock
just like the rock does not change for
anybody it remains a rock same thing
also we have to have Judy's and within
us apart with it within us just like the
rock is and irrelevant who comes it
could be the biggest of all like it's
trying to cool us down will main remain
strong and loyal to God like just like
Iraqis this week's Torah lesson is a

Ben Yosef may their souls be elevated to
the Torah that we're studying in their
