Parshas Shemini: The Death of Nadav and Avihu

this store class is brought to you by torahanytime.com one of the prominent stories in pasta shmini is the episode of NADA venavihu who Rebellion took them away in the prime of their lives and the reason why they were punished is the Torah tells ushem they offered before Hashem a foreign fire that God did not command them that's what the Hummer says openly but if you look in rashi rashi gives an entirely different reason he quotes her shemen I met they enter the base in a state of drunkenness after having dranken wine and the question is that even though there may be some indications to this approach nevertheless this is not what the Hummer says openly the hummus openly says it's that they offered a fire before the banished Hashem did not command them so rev zevin and the Safelite offers us a most interesting explanation how to reconcile the approach of rep shimen with what the Khmer says and while doing so he also explains a very important between baishama and base Hillel in the beginning of the eighth paragraph in the first Mishra and that is as to how to make Kiddush on Shabbos the shamai says and then you make the bracha you make the bori Priya first you say you sanctify the day of Shabbos and only after that you make the blessing on the wine and basila says just the opposite first you make the girlfriend and after you make the body prayag off and only after that are you and obseven explains what exactly is consistent with their approach throughout shots in general we say beshamai is or he takes a very high approach he demands very high level from people and that is beishamay says that the first thing you have to do is you have to mikadish the day of Shabbos in other words we know on Shabbos there's a Mitzvah of oinek Shabbos how does one come to aine First you sanctify the day if through your spiritual conduct on Chavez if through your dominion and your learning and your rookness that is supposed to elevate you and give you an oil to the point where you reach the level of of eineg so in other words first you macadesh the Shabbos and then which represents the approach the way in Earth to reach ainake Shabbos is through the rohnias that's supposed to give you a physical simha has a different approach Bass Hill has a more lenient approach they so well understands that we are merely basavadam and for us human beings it may be very difficult to reach physical pleasure through spiritual Delight after all we're coming through from the six working days and it may be very difficult for us to reach a level of oineg from Iowa a spiritual um Endeavors and therefore they saw says like this first you make the brachalaya you elevate yourself in other words according to base Hillel you have some physical pleasure you indulge just a little bit in physical Delights and through the oine gashni through the physical yayan that will bring you to spiritual the light that will bring you to inex Shabbos in other words base hello takes a different approach the approach of this Hillel is you need to indulge a little bit physically in order to bring you in order to enhance in order to arouse similar to what is esparno explains that when you talk wanted to bless to bless ASAP on his last day at the end of his life so please bring me some food that will enhance my physical pleasure and thereby it will draw forth my ability to give you a uh that's an approach in life that we use the physical we use the um the gashmias in order to bring out our feelings of now in general that on our Madre goes we are we need to come on to the physical Pleasures we need to come out to goshmias in order in order to enhance our spirituality however says rub seven it all has a time and place for these individuals like nada venavio why do you think not about view drank the wine what they were doing is they were merely following the opinion of these Hillel they wanted to drink wine to enhance their simcha to be my fat cat to open up their mind to open up their heart to fully have the true simcha of the chanukkah of the mishkan and they were merely following the approach of Base Hill after all we passing like this hello but their mistake was this wasn't a shazara this was a foreign fire that God did not command them because who they were because they were the holiest of all the Jewish Nations and because this was the inauguration of the mishkan and they needed to act them personally and in this location they need to act with extra kadusha so that is why the Ubuntu tells them like this Hashem tells them for you and your sons and this holy time and the time in the chanukkah of the mishkan it was inappropriate for you and your sons but for everyone else perhaps in all our other endeavors in life in terms of how we should approach coming close to Hashem we in general do need to come out to agashmias to elevate our ruckness you know this would be like uh The Story Goes that when the rebels used to go to do tashler so the averos the rebels would throw out into the yam the khasida would come and pick up because what was considered navera for the rebel for the regular Layman it would be considered a great Mitzvah so even though on their level for them to have drunk wine to passing like this hello for them it was an H Sarah it was a foreign Forum of service that Hashem did not request of them this was not appropriate for them at this time on their level but for everyone else in general is like this hello that's why I heard from Victor Miller in the safer it's also on the safer Levi Victor that in Bertha Samosa and you know we thank Hashem for for brusmila we thank Hashem for Torah we thank Hashem for erits Israel what does that have to do with we just ate a meal why would we thank Hashem for breastmila and for Torah after having eaten a salami sandwich the answer is if Miller said quoting the plastic in mishlight says what that means is that after we have eaten a meal and we're in good spirits and we're in a good mood we say you know what in a normal time of the day could we really muster enough focus and happiness to thank Hashem for Tyron for Bismillah that may be the last thing from our minds but after we ate a good meal we're supposed to channel the simcha that we have gained from eating that Food Channel the simcha into thanking Hashem for uh so the same thing over here that's another venavio we're trying to do they were they drank wine for the purpose of opening up their minds and hearts to be able to serve Hashem the simcha that's what we do on Shabbos we pass the like base hello that first from akadashalayan and then we're excuse me first we make the broccoliyan and then we're makadish because in general that is the correct approach to our service of Hashem to utilize to capitalize to channel physical pleasure for our service of Hashem it was only not even a view and this particular incident and this location of the Michigan for them is inappropriate but in general this is an important limo to be able to use Shabbos Food Shabbos Delights and all goshmias all physical pleasure to use it to channel it in the service of the Evans you've just experienced
