Parsha Perspectives for Today (Pinchas)

okay one second I'm not sure how to change this okay [Music] good morning Boker Tov to all thank you for joining us again for our weekly the perspectives for today and this would be have the privilege of studying parsha spin class to gather thank you so much for being being with us just working at the technology here when I buddies are not producers and directors and technology IT experts in addition to everything else we're expected to do I want to thank our dear friends Becky and avi katz who are sponsoring the parsha series for the year again can't thank them enough for their generosity and for their leadership and for their friendship they're sponsoring a memory of Becky's father lately knishmas government Menachem honors David Grossman who was a very special man I had the privilege of knowing him someone who loved learning Torah sharing his Torah thoughts had a insatiable thirst for knowledge and for Torah and therefore it's a great privilege for me to be able to share a Torah in his memory each and every week throughout this year thank you to the Becky and avi and thank you Leo you for continuing to share and continuing to support this class as well this would you have the privilege of learning Paris benefice it appears in the article Stone commercial rabbit in front of you I hope you have on the cross good dolos and you could follow inside we've got a ton to cover today page 876 876 and the art scroll stone from Michigan will forgive me if I'm looking in multiple directions and trying to balance all of the all the different perspectives and technologies as once partial spin professional Michelle a more pin husband allah sobhan aaron arkaway n-- hey shivers come and see me Ibanez Robbie Cano's cannot see me so calm the local eazy-e's vanetti al-baqi Nasia shem said to moshe pin cross the son of allah so here we give his lineage we give his all background what is he submitting his shellack resume pinnacles is looking for a up he's got to give us a background where his siblings went to school what their GPA what what medicines are on what is it telling us everybody everything pinnacles been Eleazar Ben R&R Konishi was homicide what is he being rewarded for because he turned away a shuns anger from the Jewish people may Albany so big canoas can I see mr. Homme when he avenged God's vengeance among them will oh hey Lisa's been a star became a seesaw Shem says I didn't destroy the Jewish people out of my anger I was tempted to I wanted to but velocity see I was stood I withheld I held back from doing it why in the merit of and because of the actions of earth pinnacles what's going on over here so Raschi tells us pinnacles banal banana coin the Fisher Hayashi bottom of a so more so the shot him would make fun of confess her recent men participate a mother a goal of al-azhar DC where he comes from do you know is hijos his ancestors used to fatten li the Cavs are avodah Zarah they prepared the idolatry they were pagans bahar Ignasi shaved me so the fearful Bacchus of the aksaram so because on one side perhaps he didn't have the most distinguished lineage therefore the Torah comes out of its way to tell you don't think that Pincus was poisoned by his lineage don't think that in fact he was an individual who inherited the quality that character trait of idolatry of paganism and that's why he murdered a leader of the Jewish people now look at his a down the other side you know who is eight on the other side is none other than our own Hakone by some of a trick expands and he tells us what is the posture coming to do to testify about his lineage what do we know about our own iron is always showing a road they show them I don't as a person who loves peace he loves peace he pursues peace the Rambam has commented in the parish most nights of others explain what was his methodology how did he achieve that peace two people were in a fight how appropriate now is we're about to enter the three weeks a time defined by McLucas divisiveness and conflict and how did I achieve peace he went to both sides and he said do you know that the other really wants to make up with you they want to reconcile they just don't have the courage to come to you and he went to the other designs and do you know that the other really wants to make up they really want to reconcile each side was under the impression the other side was willing to initiate and through that strategy through that methodology han was a lover of peace he made peace all day long he was peaceful he was calm cool collected kind he was kind so some might mistakenly think that pin crosses actions were inconsistent he was off the derrick his ADA Aaron was a lover pursuer please and this pitiless is a zealot the canoas can I see he's a murderer and a zealot and he's violent no to dispel this fallacy to offset this misconception the Torah specifically testifies in records pin cross Ben Eliezer Ben Aaron echo and goes all the way back to Aaron you're not called to the Torah by your father and your grandfather's name you don't feel in Luke Summa your father and your grandfather's name why here do we have both pinnacles Ben allows our been Aaron echoing it says of a cell of a check to dispel that misconception a mistaken notion that pinafores was off the Derek Abizaid that his ADA's Derek was peace pursuer peace a lover a peace and so was pinnacles how is this peace driving a spear through to human being simultaneous Ella tree and violence is in fact a being a pursuer of peace that's inheriting the quality of his ada of iron and the answer is yes you know sometimes those who are cruel to the kind those who are kind to the cruel end up cruel to the kind sometimes to pursue peace you have to take drastic measures and take things into your own hands it's not about being a pacifist in fact that's why he's rewarded ultimately with the British album the next Posse tells us in any no st. Aubrey C Shalom Curtis bar who tells Moshe announced Lorena more pronounced than what what spin fusses reward it's very peculiar the reward for an act of violence in zealousness is peace I'm giving him the peace power prize the nobel priest pirates which is no longer a distinguished prize the nobel peace prize goes to pin us for what a public act of murder that doesn't seem to make sense it seems somewhat ironic after all he demonstrated the heroism not a pacifist but of a warrior he takes on the Midianite King and a leader of a tribe zealously crushes a rebellion to qualify him as a general he should win the the the five stars in the army should win a Purple Heart why is he winning a Peace Prize so Robbie Sullivan explains here in his beautiful homage there are those who feel that pacifism is a cure for man's problems they argue if we would unilaterally announce armed cuts would be able to spare the world from disaster they try to prove the morality of war by championing the cause of pacifism we know from history for bitter exam the many tragic consequences have been arisen from the courts of pacifism who can tell how many Jewish lives would have been saved to the pacifists in England America not delayed entry into the war against the Nazi butchers and aggressors what is the philosophy of Torah Torat the use of force certainly the great goal is to establish a world dominated by patience understanding peace to resolve to settle differences amicably some theologians turned to the Turner with accusation quoting the Torah statements about the seven nations of Kanaan and the command not to spare anyone they silly theologians overlook the covenant of peace that yahushua offered each nation in turn and the requirement that in laying siege to their cities we leave one side open so they could escape there's a mitzvah though when you conquer the Land of Israel you have to eliminate the Canaanite nations and some people quote that to say that we are barbaric that we are animals that the Jewish people are brutal but the RUF correctly points out doesn't need me to say correctly points out that of course the prerequisite to driving the man of the land was to first offer them our hand in peace to live together and to live side-by-side in the worship in the service of Hashem and even if not when you lay siege around them you leave one side open for them to flee for them to leave for them to go the Torah philosophy is clear to gain anything precious you have to be willing to make sacrifices a business mentor and money must first invest capital he already has for a person to be able to enjoy time and his family must first give up from work and from making a living for us to acquire peace we must be ready to fight for it to relinquish peace on a temporary basis in order to keep it in the long term in other words ironically somewhat paradoxically you have to be willing to fight for peace it sounds like an oxymoron what do you mean you have to be willing to fight for peace the answer is sometimes you have to be willing to compromise or sacrifice peace in the short term in order to achieve a real authentic and lasting peace in the long term Neville Chamberlain of history made the traveler tragic mistake of thinking peace can be achieved but those who denied the Worth and importance of the individual peace cannot be attained by appeasement but true peace lover has to be ready to take up arms and resort to the use of necessary to attain a protect the sacred institutions that these aggressors seek to destroy Zen reefs in which the fluent Asim around me publicly he indicated his contempt for motion a shams Authority PIMCO's rightly understood the dimly represented a cancer which have allowed to exist would mean the destruction of everything had been accomplished under moshus leadership the fight for peace required given up peace Pinnacle's did not relish the role of using force wasn't eager to smite the Center he didn't reluctantly but with the conviction that only through his bold action could the Jewish people be saved it's only those individuals who are prepared to fight for peace and risk their entire credibility for the sake of peace who succeed in creating an inner unity it is most appropriate that the covenant of peace should be their reward so the notion of the Peace Prize being the the prize that PIMCO's gets for a graphic and brutal and violent act is not ironic or paradoxical or inconsistent in fact it is entirely and wholly both H o and WH o appropriate he got the Peace Prize because sometimes in the name and the pursuit and to achieve a real authentic and a lasting peace one has to set aside for a time set aside set aside peace so the Torah itself testifies that pin fest is not off the dara from allen's path of Ahl merida shalom he too is a lover of peace but loving peace doesn't mean it's another religion that says turn the other cheek look the other way be forgiving at all costs we don't let ourselves get slapped across the face rather for the pursuit of peace one has to be willing to stand up with courage and bravery as pinnacle eyes did sometimes an act of zealotry is in fact for the sake of peace now if you look in the commissure look in the Torah if you look even in the arts girl hummus and a stone Hamish depiction ahbar of our flesh what he tries to depict the actual text the way it appears on the Torah scroll accurately you'll notice there is a small letter unit by the very emotionally more pin husband I was up in our narco in the unit in the name and the word pin class is a unit katana it's a small letter yud why is the letter yud there small Sora's almond Seurat skin in the safer as 9 the Torah tells us something which i think is so important to know pin class goes down as a hero of history talmadeus on me by the way tells us that it was only it took time for him to be a hero even after the episode and even after God rewards him with the beasts prize with the bris of shalom yerushalyim pray to put him in a room and act as ella tree what happens to a society in a civilization what happens to a community where people do don't offer due process it wasn't that Zimring cosby were arrested and tried and then were put to death when a person cos L it can simply rise up and drive a spear through two people when a zealot can take the law into their own hands it is a very slippery slope it is a very dangerous prospect and therefore the euro sham he tells us that his contemporaries even after God gave him the British Allam nevertheless still wanted to put in a theorem until they were convinced otherwise it's not so simple so he goes down ultimately pinnacles we recall him as a hero anyone no hope in classes gilgul is the Zohar tells us that pin of us comes back the reincarnation of pin for us is none other than another zealot not a violent zealot sort of a peaceful zealot but another zealot by the name of drumroll please Eliyahu Hanavi Elisha the prophet aliawan avi is a zealot in his own right when he fights the VA bow even when he doubts the Jewish people with his zealous listener Shem says you're going to come back and you're going to attend to every bris and you're gonna be at every Pesach Seder and you're going to make Havdalah in every Jewish home they're gonna sing your name and you will witness the continuity and the courage of the Jewish people at Leo becomes the symbol of optimism and hope and belief in a brighter future we spoke all about this in Shabbos I got though this year in the middle of towards the beginning of we wish it were the middle of towards the beginning of as it turns out to be this this pandemic who Elia who wanna be was that Elio was the gilgul the reincarnation says there's no R of pitiless pitiless is a hero of history he rose up with courage and bravery even when Moshe Rabbeinu froze was debilitated didn't know what to do when Moshe halted and didn't know what to do Pinnacle's rose up and took matters into his own hands so one might think Pentecost was a precocious young child Pentecost was a prodigy one might think pin cuts from a young age already displayed these leadership qualities maybe Pentecost already was on the track and the trajectory towards greatness says rosamma Tuscans 9 the Torah that's why we have a small year the small Yid tells us that until this moment those benefice distinguished himself he was an ordinary member of Klaus row he was ordinary she'll Felicia pin has beats as my sorrows die of the next time I gave him a Benes row there was my gay for there was a plague there was a plague wouldn't even get into we're already out of time and we're just starting but the end of last week's parsha what happens bullock recruits billow up to curse the jewish people but it doesn't work those who try to recruit us and try to curse us it doesn't work Hashem transformed it to a blessing already in the beginning of rain Sheamus is whoever blesses those people will be blessed and whoever curses it will be cursed and while the Jewish people for the most part struggle to believe it evangelicals and non-jews are the ones who take it seriously and believe it from their heart who is the football player some NFL player who offered words recently to a Jewish I think to a Jewish high school graduation quota didn't vote this PASOK those who blessed the Jewish people will be blessed in those who curse that will be cursed and and that was the failure of Balaam and bollock that that strategy and scheme would never work so what did they do instead what did they resort to which tragically always works instead they threw they seduced us and provoked us with beautiful women in fact my soul of a chick says at the end of last week's partial he says what happens even been a robbery Valhalla miss Denise an Israelite man came and he brought this midnight woman before the eyes of Moshe bilham understood a fundamental principle regarding the Jewish people and he gave advice to public as to how to defeat them and what is it think more inside her she tells us I've got love that the God of Israel the God of the Jewish people hates immorality hates promiscuity licentiousness lewdness this incident is the one and only instance in which motion becomes despondent he who fearlessly defended the people after the hater ego right the governor Shoshanna depicts that Moshe as if grabbed hashem by lapels he grabbed them by the coke jack and said Ramona Shalom you must he demanded brazenly boldly you must forgive the people and after the sin of the spies moshus stands up and steps out he says hi Shama you must forgive this encourage of a people and after the incident of Korah he weeps a chieftain the brave and tenacious master of all prophets loses his resolve bilham was about to win his battle against the Jewish people in Motion's adversary was on the verge of despair why said the rug because without the sanctity of the family can necessarily no longer exist bilham understood I can't get them with my words I can't get them with my prayers and my wishes you can't curse the people the Jewish people and persevere and triumph so how do you bring them down by introducing immorality and promiscuity because when the fabric of a Jewish home is compromised when there's a in our holy armor because we've introduced images and ideas and behaviors and attitudes of promiscuity and licentiousness and immorality when we become confused and how we define holy institutions that is when the Jewish people are compromised that is when we are most threatened that's when we are in our greatest that's when we are in our greatest danger so what happened they threw beautiful women Mavi women at us who came to seduce us and distract us and tempt us and we failed not just Cosby in zimri but there was a more collective and a broader sense of failure someone here on YouTube they asked me if they could ask questions absolutely we asked quite loved questions in the chat on zoom' on YouTube on Facebook everywhere we're broadcasting it though it's hard to see it read it all at once but if you can please do so God visit Sam I gave up playing um I gave up a virus of pandemic upon the people and how does it end Pincus is the one who rises it ends it successors on threats when I was nine matura back to his text are y'all donuts rhyme I gave up at the knees roll he was the one who stopped it hi Adam rogue omnia shudra whom I suck no sit Smith but oh so oh so Barajas lar mhmm Allah he was an ordinary person he was just one member of the tribe but it was this act of heroism of bravery of courage it was the clarity of vision to be able to distinguish between immorality and morality to be able to call out what was unethical from what's ethical to be able to purge promiscuity from our midst that is what gave him a position of distinction and honor it's what secured him as a hero for history and therefore it's a huge katana to small-unit to tell us that he wasn't destined for this greatness it wasn't seen from his youth it wasn't something was projected about him it was a Yid katana he was an ordinary simple person it was a small unit and yet he took that within him and he took that moment and he rose to greatness and therefore goes down in history with greatness because he took advantage of the moment he lived at the moment and that is how is recorded in in history ok the canoas cannot see the Soham the canoas cannot see the psychopathic said in page 876 so at the beginning of the parsha the canoas cannot see it's a very clumsy it's a very awkward it's very difficult a difficult puzzle he's rewarded with the peace prize why because he avenged God's vengeance and where did he do it this so hung which is peculiar why does the Torah have to say this will come what is the word bit so common among them and I get to translate the pasta penne cuz the sound was the cerrado my Cohen has turned my anger away from the children of Israel by his jealous Li avenging me among them so that I did not destroy the children in Israel because of my zeal this so come what is that word this so common among them does it actually add does it actually add trying to see the chat does it actually add anything at all what is the word abyss so common among them and so there are a few approaches I want to share with you to this question which we derive timeless lessons for today which is the theme of our parsha the first comes from the first comes from review it's like Warka repeats what Gorka says the following what is the word missile from and he says a copy shop in across kena concessions Marcos because those log of Aleppo mee-mah say he was there but it should add some of me Carla Adam got though what happens a person has a heroic moment they rise to the challenge of history and in that moment they secure their distinction forever what is the natural temptation for it to inflate your ego for a person to become arrogant for a person to become arrogant is the natural is the natural reaction you know who I am everyone else froze the great Moshe Rabbeinu froze but hi I rose for the moment I'm the one who acted so one would have thought maybe it went to pin cross his head maybe I went to Penn Foster's head and maybe he became arrogant that says right it's been working with the plastics telling us be canoas can I see but pinning us remained Biss so hum he was part of the am ha he remained among Claro even though it's true he acted heroically he rose to the moment but he never forgot where he came from he never saw himself as superior or greater or better than anyone else and that's what the park is telling us and testifying to us this Soham he remained humble and modest he wasn't an atom girl he didn't see himself as better than anyone else he remained that bissalameh' among them the hillock anomaly Malik the greater Valley Malik of lijinsky we led a trip to Poland several summers ago we had a great Tish those who remember I see some people on this who are with us and the great Tish that we had in lijinsky at the kefir at that cien at the at the grave of the of the rember of le ma the great rebellion melaka visions so he says the following you know what it means bit so far says there ever a beli mela be so hard means this attribute this quality this capacity for courage and bravery that when we look around and everyone else is frozen and doesn't know what to do to step up and to stand out to take the matter into our own hand to defend to defend the honor of a sham this Siham he implanted it within each and every one of us pin has put that in our DNA he implanted that in our system he gave us that capacity for mysterious nefesh that willingness now huzzah tell us that panelist was willing to die says the pin of us was willing to give his life to avenge God's honor in that moment he was willing to be most sir nefesh of the highest order only most sane efforts to pay the high tuition which is mysterious nephesh I don't mean mostly nefesh that he couldn't get the meat because he ran out of meat at a cheap price I don't mean most in efforts to the restaurants were closed I mean who's willing to be most literally a fish he was willing to give his life all together to defend the honor of course raw and says there everybody knows that's what it means this soham he implanted this comment this implanted this this attribute this capacity this Siham within us and we too can realize that among ourselves as I state the river of Le Mela I want to show you a couple other opinions back to the c4h Tom it beautiful safe for by reviews from a drug greater Stephen you shall I'm each week I've been taking a few insights from his beautiful safer and here he has an essay on this topic ask this question what do you mean by soham was the word this so calm and so so far we've seen obviously Lorca and we've seen the number of le Mela but he goes back to the rishonim we go back to the medieval commentaries revived ideas for now provide us one of the great Italian exegete says the following thus far no writes quote Bikaner the cameras can I see the Zohan arsenic Mozilla in a CUDA in a Coulomb conditioner awesome Zavala Yahoo Yahoo para la shala mijo beep ocean Vista he sure is Hamas email a.m. says thus far no you know where he avenged God's honor do you know where he wiped out Cosby in Zimri specifically he didn't miss so harm he did it intentionally and specifically and by design publicly why because the fact that the people would see someone so publicly stepping up and standing out and having the courage to avenge his blood would be an atonement it would be a repair for their indifference for their apathy for their willingness to have allowed that promiscuity in public you see that my gay for the plague was visited upon them not because every one of them engaged in the very act but because even those who didn't engage in the act were indifferent from it and so this foreigner says the word so hum is used intentionally the word so hum is used by design because what set back the Magatha were repaired the damage of the plague was the kiddush Hashem created publicly to offset to negate to undo a hellish em the desecration of Russians name it can only be undone with a great act of kiddush Hashem and therefore this so come when Pentecost took matters into his own hands he didn't specifically wear Bissell hum in a public way in a public place so others can see which reminds me I'll share with you a little bit more expanding on this theme from the sworn oath a truck quotes from an old rush I once gave the reward for Pentecost the Nobel Peace Prize the most difficult for me to understand the story is the reason because if you keep going in the past what does it say because he avenged my he avenged my hey Seamus comma see he took back my anger against the people didn't pinnacles deserve the reward even if the people continue to be punished the reward was because it turned back God's anger that's not why he was rewarded wasn't he rewarded because he stopped Cosby and Zimri from doing what they were doing isn't he rewarded because he made a kiddush Hashem isn't he rewarded because he stood up for God's honor for that which is correct what do you mean the reward is hey Seamus comma see because he turned back the anger why are the two intertwined so I'll tell you an amazing story I've said this before but it's worth repeating maybe some of you aren't familiar with the story do you know how 9/11 began not the date on the calendar that we associate with the tragedy of the of the World Trade Center but nine-one-one in a case of an emergency people are meant to dial nine-one-one every one of us think that God forbid if there were an emergency you dial nine-one-one when did that start on where did it come from so some of you may remember the story it was before I was born on a cold winter night March 16th 1964 240 am 28 year old kid Genovese was attacked with a knife a block from her apartment and died in her stairwell the New York Times coverage of her murder stated the police recorded the police records showed that 38 people admitted to hearing her cries for help in her building out their windows 38 people 38 separate people had admitted to hearing her cries for help and not a single witness called to report the incident now dozens of books have been written about her death and the lack of empathy and action that were taken but now more than fifty years later a new documentary called the witness actually dives into the tragic story and reveals that the time just exaggerated that number and it's unclear exactly what the background was so there were 38 witnesses but there were maybe only a handful but there were those who witnessed this murderer who ultimately died in prison a couple years ago who attacked and killed Kenny Genovese at least two neighbors claimed to have called the police and one neighbor in fact ran to help kitty and held her as she died whatever the exact number is doesn't really matter the bottom line is that people heard of being attacked and for the most part did absolutely nothing her tragic death led to several positive things as I alluded to one of them was the adoption of the 9-1-1 emergency call system in 1964 it was adopted as a result of that incident to make it easy for people and easy to remember your dial nine-one-one but it looks social scientists studying indifference and what leads to people who are passive and apathetic to that which is happening around them and I'd like to suggest although it turns out it's this for no really I'm expanding on this far no that is the story of pin Haas the villains of the pinnacle story are not in fact Cosby in Zimri or they are not the main villains of the story the main villain of the story is indifference the two people acted out in public and nobody challenged them on it a nation stood by and watched perhaps they were stunned but they were also silent nobody protested nobody objected nobody said anything and when telling the story the Torah emphasizes that where did it take place Cosby in Zimri and their great active of immorality where did it take place Laney Cole you throw it took place in front of everyone they witness that they saw it and they did thing about it the Jewish people are collectively punished not for the act of one or even a few but because of their own failure to act they watch to observe them they didn't object they tolerated the intolerable and they created an attitude of indifference in which evil could propagate evil could thrive pinnaces act of canoas pentoses act of zealotry when focused on Cosby and Zimmer II the two recipients of the spear looks violent it even looks barbaric or heinous but from the perspective of a crowd of passive onlookers who were unable or were unwilling to act pentakus is stepping in was a brave act of heroism his doing so was not graphic or barbaric his doing so was an act of bravery to in fact restore peace and that's why he's awarded the British alum the Peace Prize because sometimes as we saw from the rub the path to peace is not through indifference in looking away the path to peace is through initiative and bold willingness to be intolerant of the intolerable pentakus is rewarded for leaving the people of their punishment it wasn't the driver of his reward is not the kiddush Hashem of stopping Cosby in Kent Zimri what is the driver of the reward says the public because hey Shiva's Hamas say because you stopped the anger that I was putting on them I'll just end this this insight with a quote from the great Nobel laureate the late Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel who said quote of course indifference can be tempting more than that seductive it's so much easier to look away from victims it's so much easier to avoid such a rude interruption to our work our dreams our hopes it is after all awkward troublesome to be involved in another person's pain and despair yet for the person whose indifference his or her neighbor are of no consequence and therefore their lives are meaningless they're hidden or even invisible anguish of no interest indifference reduces the other to an abstraction in a way to be indifferent to that suffer makes the human being inhuman indifference is more dangerous than anger and hatred hatred Elie Wiesel had witnessed the worst atrocities and he what he sees and what he blames is indifference there will always be evil people and evil people who perpetrate evil but what a label enables them to either succeed or fail are the people around them will they be indifferent an apathetic to them or where they step up and make a difference as a question we have to ask in our lives in so many ways going on right now whether it's fighting for racial equality and justice and I don't mean the reactions that are pandering I mean our willingness not to be indifferent to some of the ingrained biases whether is stepping up about calling out anti-semitism even within some of those movements and anti-semitism in general what are we indifferent to and what do we tolerate that's intolerable and what does it say about us because it's not just the perpetrators of the wrong when we are indifferent or apathetic to it we become accomplices to those wrongs for which we too become liable and that I think is some of the story of pin Haas that doesn't get emphasized enough so that is all based on thus far no butter of drug continues and he quotes next the Guru is the brisker of Ravel vaselov a chick who says I totally sure pinnacles awesome Isis a bit so fun that the Torah emphasizes that pinnacles did his act where specifically be so common among them before he'll see why Kevin Shikamaru Mutola pinnacles our wisdom will be denied bowl-o-rama scanline program beau the deans NMR Daphne musta came too far as yet what was the license pinnacles had to act this way by what right did pinnacles have to in fact take matters into his own hand what was his license to act so zealously so the turret at the Talmud testifies the Chimera tells us that habala Rama's canine Pogan beau that the header of canals of zealousness is only if you do it before Hesse if only if you do it publicly and therefore the Torah had to testify it was bit so common to justify how logically the behavior and the act itself that it took place bit so common we see this in Paris m-more as well Roderick expands when he see the whole source of the midst of kiddush Hashem you know we have a major Mitzvah of Kadosh ah we don't think of it as one of the tar yak but it's a mitzvah in fact it's the way we recite kiddush kiddush kedusha what's our response in kedusha the consequence of condition we declare naked a Shoshanna ha but Allah what is our mission who are we what are we meant to do what is the difference were made to make in the world Nick Hadees the addition column we are here in order to sanctify his name we're misssara min ba alum and this is based on the pasta compassion somewhere that says vinik - t the soap B'nai Israel where does the kiddush Hashem take place this open Israel you know when I act privately and alone and I do something anonymously it's wonderful it's a beautiful virtuous act and it's wonderful and it should be celebrated and applauded but it doesn't have the impact of kiddush Hashem in order to achieve kiddush Hashem linic - beware this open Israel we declare in kedusha neck initiation how we're by olam in the world and therefore this kiddush Hashem - says the grills took place where this so Hama among them and it is specifically described as taking place where it specifically described as taking place among them among them okay there's more interpretations on this but we will be out of time and I don't want to be out of time I want to cover some other some cover some other areas okay pasta paragraph hey PASOK yielded Alice will move on to paragraph a passive get off we're still in the article stone Hamish on page eight seventy six and we're still on the second posture making our way all the way he needs to know as brissie Shalom sorry let's go possibly doubt the shame issues from Akashic are some in Dunedin Dental lunacy based on the Shivani here the Torah now gives us the names the term now identifies who these villains were who carried out this and perpetrated this promiscuity in publicly and one of their names Zimmer events Alou was miss evasive the shamone e and the shimmy she's frozen events although and the shame they shot a woman's name who seduced him the seductress the midnight seductress ensconce deepest sewer Roche most base of bemidji on who image on who so why is it a killer that the Torah gives us their identities here not because of partial spin class but because of the end of fair shot Ballack at the end of the last week's parsha if you were paying attention it tells us each year sir l and Isha there was a Jewish man and a woman very generic pronouns are offered but not their names themselves so which is it are we protecting their identity or are we revealing their identity why at the end of precious ball actually protected during the witness protection program and here in the beginning of our shows because all of a sudden we are revealing their identity and we're naming names why the difference so I call your attention today lagaa orihime Akash and why is it so significant because today is the yard site of the I'm with Ryan in an ATAR who was a leading robbed in Morocco ultimate way ultimately made his way to Eretz Israel and was buried there the orihime Mikado chef Ryan Benatar and it's appropriate to learn his Torah the greatest testimony the greatest testament to a tomahawk from their Torah outlives them they achieve immortality through their Torah and therefore we study histo tonight so I'm Parekh half hey PASOK you down chapter 25 verse 14 the refiner college is bothered by this question kasha min monoshock Inhofe it's a sham legal Oh Sam Oakland ayahuasca Michels Mesa if a sham wants to reveal their identity he should have done so wearing it when the episode took place for the event itself in last week's partial when we first read about the event it should have said their names nina each new B'nai Israel shamayim welcomed a skier that was the place to say their name valemar be naive zimri because she his Gurgaon can immediately say Lola house gear Shama and similarly when we mentioned the seductress the midnight seductress that was the place to say her name the enteric Issus I am coderre she kisses Allah macoco sheesh by Shabbos and if the Torah wants to hide their identity just like the story of the mikoshi she hates him we read several weeks ago about the mikoshi estates and which is connected to parsha because the Gemara tells us it's a chimera in Chaves those learning that feel me recently came across it who is the mikoshi Aish we read recently there was a Jew who went out and gathered wood on Shabbos and Moshe Rabbeinu held him accountable and he was given the death penalty very severe for having violated the laws of Shabbos the mikoshi sh the Torah number tells us who he is but the game owner does who does the camara tell us is the mikoshi since spoiler alert right now who's the mikoshi shades him none other than slough HUD it Slough HUD how does he get my note because in our parsha when the daughters of folk let's say our father died in the desert should they want to make clear he didn't die as part of the act of rebellion in kora he died for another reason altogether and the Gemara sees his death and the mikoshi shades him as he did not very lush MA he took one for the team he intentionally violated Shabbos and gave His life to do it in order to communicate to the entire nation and people the severity of the violation of Shabbos that's why he did it says the Gemara in fact the Gemara there has that conversation and one if the Torah didn't want to reveal the identity why did you I really Kiba who reveals the identity and the chimera challenges would be keen I think it's a bit Eva and says if Hashem wanted to hide his identity how dare you reveal it what are you doing by revealing it so anyway the Orihime eye color says is it like the case of the mikoshi Aish in the kitchen the mikoshi age that era never tells us so it is similarly here it just as a Jewish man and a Midianite woman so why in the next partial do we tell us their names what is going on what is going on here so that a Haim tells us in the second paragraph okay Nina Dunbar who ain't no how faithless as Allah filiberto I'm the fire say me Ballad of our mama to oven he says an incredible principal of the RIBA notion with the Almighty which we should follow and emulate he says Hashem does not want to denigrate Hashem does not want to harm or hurt or injure even wicked people who deserve it even these wicked people who perpetrated an evil who led to a plague who desecrated our son's name so publicly it was an affront it was a direct challenge to Hashem to His Holiness to his dignity even then Hashem does not intentionally share or promote or harm or injure even wicked evil people we sometimes think that when someone's done something wrong then we have license to share their name or hurt them or publicize it as much as we want as much as we can we even turn it into a mitzvah to do so and orihime here is very instructive it is very inspiring and it tells us that last week's partial Shem doesn't reveal their identity because even the names of Rashied Hashem doesn't want to harm mikoshi sure she okiya gamba mashallah funny notation Allah give us some shots might say hello DAF got a fresh a special pen cause I should pass on man miss Bartos chiquinho my bobbin is wrong Zargon cane chemokine but other than Picasso but I don't want to see based off so why does he reveal it here oh it's our find McCulloh is right if Hashem wants to even protect the dignity the honor even if the wicked people by not promoting where they went wrong and that's the reason last week's party she conceals their identity what happened to this week's parsha why here does he share it or reveal it sort of find says you know why because in last week's parsha it was about in dining them last week's partial was about acknowledging their mistake they are a sham protected their identity but this week's Pasha is about rewarding Pintas this week's partial is about identifying acknowledge I manifest his greatness so here now that we're talking about Pentacles is greatness it would diminish pinning us to simply keep them anonymous why because maybe Pentecost took to low-lives two nobodies to homeless people and that's who he killed so you need to know that no the ones that tend to us stood up with courage and conviction to confront or none other than in a sea base of this was the leader the head of a tribe this was the daughter of a midnight King these were people of great power and great distinction here revealing their identity is in fact part of the way that we honor and acknowledge Pentecost and that's why in the last week's partial we conceal it and this was pressure we reveal it and that is the inside of the Heyliger or a high in colors there no Scott Turner goes out what's moving it right along tarragon tells us the story of a business but I identify with tough time for a long time because I had five daughters my first five children were girls I felt like a modern day stuff card for a little while and I had a sixth daughter then I felt like fluff cards got nothing on me whose fluff God what's five daughters and then barf assembly I know I had my egg removes on and tells us where the census we're skipping over the census on the story of slavko page moi 886 art school stone how much page 886 panic half Zion chapter 20 chapter 27 actually let's go back one more comment I'm sorry go back to Perico help us take tests 26 nine let's make one comment in the census is it fascinating comment we know that a couple weeks ago we read the story of Cora in Caracas one of the great villains of Jewish history he's a great villain of our 40 years in the desert Cora Cora started this rebellion and challenged the authority of Moshe end of our we know the ground opened up and swallowed up Cora and his followers doesn't appear up in a Reuben end and so on Perik tough-love Pathak test chapter 26 verse number 9 so here the torah tells us in the context of the census we've begun the census why is this a census because the door the generation were in the desert were not destined to go into israel part of the punishment of the terrible mistake of the spies was that they were all wiped out they didn't go into the desert did he go into Israel the women all got to go into Israel why because the women did not make the same mistake the women got to go into Israel and the women their righteousness they did not participate in the hata ego they did not participate in either the also in the in the sin of the spies they got to go in but the generation of men were wiped out this is a new generation and therefore a census needed to be taken in the context of the sentence census the PASOK tells us posit test verse now in the following Matt Tifft ah sorry verse 10 and 11 but if tough hard to SPEA but it was underscored the Messiah the ground opened up and swallowed Korah and his followers but Allah issues Commission Messiah is really nice 250 people this was a miracle even a : a Sioux in the context of a census all of a sudden the teller throws in this gratuitous fact you should know the children of karak his own kin dolla is on an o'clock they did not die kora the Samrat theorem Bonet Rubin 250 the ground opened up swallowed them up they were goners but Bonet Cora lo may sue the children of Korah did not die here again they were fine as a comment I share it because it's worthwhile to learn but also it is his yard site today again per curve of pasta sauce good olive and the other crime says oh dear course opinions a carnival of Bamako Makara Mesa again he is the same question why are we mentioning now the chorus children didn't die where would have been the more appropriate place to mention it nothing in the tourist coincidence all a chance nothing is because the publisher decided there's more room or space to put it in here because Laura who is the author because what who is the publisher so where would have been natural place to put this fact that been Nicaragua may sue we shouldn't have gone that the children of cars didn't die where you're all muted so you can't answer me and I'm just asking it over and over again the answer I'll answer for you the answer is of course in parishes Cara in the story of karak and the whole narrative of Quran is the logical place to put in Ruben a curriculum a zoo that the children of Karim didn't die Gamla custom welcome miss Peruvian Kishan welcome with us AMISOM a.m. or of the census of the Laveen why don't we put it in there we just took another census here so why don't we include the Lavi amad their own census in parallel Binet car of the children of Korah are among the laveyan why didn't we put the fact that Binet karf the children of Corrick live in the census Villa veeam so two alternatives to better places to have put this says the orihime why here with him Asha cassava do Chi by a leukemic waha bomba does embody Rome with a hawk on the alcoa Liz egg amar amar Vinokourov lamassu akka vanishes a Yankee discuss a VM solutions from ho-ho kadesha shut up commercial does about America bottom gives a karmic locus because this somehow tells us something positive about Korra that even though Dawson dog theorem got mixed into this whole episode Cora did not pay it forward to his own children corrupt did not pass it on to them and therefore they continue to live they continue to live the achelous yankov the stapler also addresses this question I am mark Omaha chose my doing then she doesn't mean okokok how you car Newsom with Nisha are you screening of shakoora listen to this insight from the sniper I love this insight the great stapler cone is the father so tell her friend can I ask each Lita in Bnei Brak today the cipher the author of the keyless anchor says the following he says Dawsonville theorem why don't you say that Dawson Barham who are held so accountable the Sunda theorem who also go down as villains of Jewish 3 because they are accomplices and partners and they join the bandwagon of rebelling against Moshe why don't we say they're under sin they were we should let them off the hook why screen of shakoora they were neighbors with Cora so I love Russia Allah say no you have a bad neighbor and the neighbor can say come on come over for a drink everybody's doing it try smoker this everybody's doing it listen to this lush Nara everybody's listening to it or the amount of the application would be the neighbor says come over for lunch on Shabbos with no mask and sit two feet away from me everybody's doing it ila Russia or Latino so what would you say about the neighbor let's be a little flexible let's leave a build sympathetic because they had a bad neighborhood evil neighbor was able to compel them persuade them so if I were the the lawyer if I were defending Dawsonville theorem I'd come before the judge the Almighty and I'd say look Dawson father didn't lead this rebellion their initiative Dawson on our theorem they're victims of Korah korek was this great orator this great spokesperson this charismatic leader and let them off the hook so therefore that's why the killer's anchor says that's why it tells us been a coracle omni soo why because if Bonet Cora could have the spiritual fortitude if the Venna Cora could know that their father was doing what was wrong and not participate and partner in his rebellion then Cole chicane all the more so a neighbor needs to know that just because your neighbors doing the wrong thing that doesn't let you off the hook the measures tells us been Acorah oz who chuhwa the children of a corrupted shuva been a coelom datura we're but Bnei Brak maybe that's why the stapler gave this insight Tamar tells us but a burner shall Hammond sorry Linda tore above in a bra so the children of Korah they did chuva they didn't go down literally down get it get the pun they didn't go down with Cora that was good they didn't go down with Cora they didn't go down with Cora why because they had the moral compass they had the spiritual fortitude to be able to see that what their father was doing was wrong and to withstand his his persuasiveness and his charisma and that's the sniper tells us the contrast here the son valve Iran Korea a dashiki to emotional aren't about this carafe but if the heart is pure its swallow doesn't bother I'm open a coracle imasu before you gonna jump in the defense attorney and before you gonna say no no no doesn't matter I'm George let him off talk it's not their fault they live next door to Cora there was nothing I can do before you gonna jump in in the past I can say come to the defensive doesn't na theorem you need to know open a curriculum they sue that if the children of Korah could do it so could you we who are exposed to all kinds of ideas and ideals on the internet not from in the media and social media among our neighbors need to know that it's not an excuse it's not a justification to say what could I do this was my neighbor I was got caught up in it if Bonet Cora La Mesa if the children of Korah could know if children could know right from wrong then we're capable of knowing right from wrong as well and we're held accountable to stand up and to do it okay now we move over to Binoche Harlem which is where we were heading after census very corrupt when they sue here the story of the children the daughters of sloth but the daughters of it's not fun page 886 in the arts Goldstone how much the five daughters have stuff quite a step up and they challenged at Lucia Rubino and they say what's the deal we're only sisters we have no brother are we gonna lose our land are we going to lose our land this doesn't feel right it doesn't seem justified it doesn't feel fair what's going on over here the notice Slough Club oh but no stuff cut stand-up Rossier says the story of enough sloth buddy what does Rashi say the mission because it says what to grab him and his father Clemente for Ben Gila bin Mohamad my national husband - man yo safe we're going all the way back if you thought we got to learn pin crosses shittaka resume his lineage of the beginning of the parish ah now the doors of soif crowd while their resume goes all the way back and they're out to Zeta was none other than Yosef italic so they wanted to make sure that whatever boys they were gonna marry they would know they were been - Slough had been favored been Gillard and muhib in Menasha then you're safe whoa ah that's a long resume but I'm owed Lou listen emotionally stand before Moshe and they and they challenge him so rashes of the missional coast Menasha baño save Lomond mr but look for an mr been Menasha it says they were the children of going all the way that been Menasha Lou mr. host Menasha ben yosef the children of Menasha according to the family of Menasha ben yosef does that make sense to you why is that here that's what Rashi says so LMFAO safety baby ferrets she never had Lisa miss Ausmus I would be no sub him avoids forits Yosef loved the land Yosef said don't bury me take me back to Israel he loved the land Yosef was a great religious Zionist a great lover of the co no safety on hello - Shalu yo save loved at the land and just like yo save loved the land he ingrained that within his progeny within his family and his descendants the daughters of Slav had inherited this quality and they too loved the land and that's why they said to Nuuanu aqua za that one front in motion said it ain't fair to us it's not fair where's our cut of the land we want to hold on to our father's property ask the kasam safer remotion self of Pressburg Essex on sofa a great question did it ever occur to any of you Essex I'm suffer the final and great question how do you know the daughters at Slough had loved the Land of Israel maybe what they loved was land what's to say that if Slough Cod was going to have property in Boca Raton if slavka was gonna have property in the five towns of Teaneck in LA in South Africa and South America in Paris or London that they also wouldn't have said it's not fair to us we deserve to inherit weren't the daughters of slavka challenging the laws of you rush of inheritance this was no Zionist statement they weren't saying we love the land we too need to be pioneers of settling the land it's not fair to us we won't get the land this wasn't some Zionist statement this was a this was a statement of inheritance this was a challenge to the laws of Jerusha so how does rashing now the Mischka host Menasha man yo save just like yo say was she babysits just like yo safe were home they CO and he loved the land he never saw it's so to be no South River Lewis Arts where do you see that from where do you see that from it's a great question of the cuz I'm so for your great great question great question says looks I'm so for the following he says Binoche cloth garden hello how you machine it Menasha mr. host mother Magilla not those how come behavior yarding the family mahir and Gilad took the portion of Menasha remember Menasha ultimately gets divided into reuben gad and hats in Menasha inherit land where east of the yarding east of the arlene Mahane crushes ishigami handycam blow spoken by a Vardhan in the Mafia vacuity since i'm so far weapon ostrov card were worried about was what if we're with the half of Menasha that are getting the land east of the Jordan we don't want some expanded version of Israel we want to Israel proper we want to be within the boundaries and borders we don't want to be maven they are doing east of the iodine we want to be in Israel property okay no versus Lykes unselfishly you gotta shame of inna me talk across Daniels dynamesh Bacchus Aquafresh and Oakland me Ava hardened b'hala so this is the source that they love the land they weren't worried about getting their portion they weren't worried about their portfolio their inheritance they weren't worried what their father would leave them what were they worried about don't give us the part east of the Jordan we don't want to be a valley are dating the extended Israel we want to be an Israel property properly proper and that's how Rashi knew that he made a stone that's how Rashi knew that would drove this challenge of been a swath Cod was in fact was in fact their love of Israel their love of the Land of Israel should be at the forefront of all of our minds I saw that Israel came out and they said what do they say over the next five years they expect a quarter of a million people are gonna make Alleluia I think this summer they were supposed to be the most people ever making all the are most people in a long time if only they can figure out who would fly them there or how they can get there which I know is a great challenge all of us we're beginning the three weeks and we're experiencing in and reeling from the loss of based on a cache of gullies should be thinking that if but when it's time for us to go that we too should be the offspring and the disciples of the daughters of God all the way back - Menasha until you're safe to be be Habiba starts to love at the land pair of cuffs iron passuk hey still in the middle of this story but a crated moshus mishima tunnliffe Nahash him so the door is a focal challenge moshe and how does Moshe react he says that's a pretty good question it's good to bomb cash in you see me you'd call that a bomb kasha it's a bomb kasha it's a great question what does he do he advances their question to God but I crave Moshe as Mishpatim he takes their question and he brings it to Hashem all mighty Esteli do share in what's going on when you go if you go all the way back I can't find this a further addition have any years when you go all the way back to the last time this happened because this isn't the first time and it's not the last time that this happened it's happened several times that Moshe Rabbeinu encounter was a question he doesn't know the answer to really who'd the Cooperman the founder of metal Allah wrote a whole safer I think about this each time that Moshe didn't know the answer and how he reacted so the hadisha Rimmer Buick mayor of Gare the Gary burr wonders that if you go back to the last time this happened which was PASOK Shaney lomani garage juiced it up and they said it's not fair to us we were deprived of being able to participate in the carbon because we were impure it's not fair to us the Turner says um - mom is irrational ahem moshe says stained been asked and let God respond he took himself out of that equation there in the case of peso he took himself out and here I'm sorry there he said I'm - ma let's stand up together and ask God what he has to say so over here he takes himself out altogether but I crave Moshe has mish botando finish em he deposits it before he deposits it before God so why here does he say God will answer you and in the case of Pasolini he says no let's learn this together let's ask God together let's find out together when Moshe is stumbled when Moshe doesn't know why does sometimes he say let's learn this together and sometimes he says I'll put this before God and God will answer you as if he's not part of it so says the fiduciary in because you have to look at what the claim of innocence could the claim of the donors of father was Avenue maze Bamidbar our father died in the desert boohoo la jolla Batak I don know I demolish him but on this kora he wasn't among those who rebelled against you the story of Korah so therefore mashenka harsh Moshe initial Irish mr. Manahan there's no GAD of our see the cat smelly gamma ray Moshe was worried how can I be a judge to give them an answer how can i in an unbiased way judge the situation I just became biased how was he biased because they testified about their father sloth HUD he was on your side and all motion needed to hear was he's on my side that was enough to constitute a bias that was enough to be a bribe that was enough promotion to feel disqualified to adjudicate their question to be able to come back with an answer you see just how sensitive it is how easy it is for us to become biased in a certain direction and not to be able to be objective in the conclusion about that question so much so that Moshe recuse himself from answering only because they themselves testified that that our father was not part of the rebellion we gave it three or four shiurim recently about bribery in in Jewish law we see it all the time you bribe to get your grandson into the fader you bribe we had the episode of the people recently who the college got their kids into the college academic athletic programs and so on and so forth of the bribery and a lot how sensitive it is not careful we have to we have to be okay we have a few minutes left on deciding where to go okay pair comes I posit a sine curve scientist I in turn the page page 888 by the mercial emotional anymore the next section is Moshe asks for a successor this really is worth are studying at lengthen all the time for now but this is a really worthwhile passage to be studying Atlanta very much anymore succession planning in Judaism what do you look for in a succession how do you do succession planning the importance of succession planning is what this is all about if coda shalwick ever host the hobo sorry shali dom moshe spoke to a Shem he initiates the conversation of his own succession with a sham Moshe is a level 5 leader Jim Collins good to great motion is a level 5 leader but the cause is greater than himself and therefore how do you know when the cause is greater than yourself when you are more concerned with its continuity than you are with your legacy and your looking to appoint that successor so for moshe Ivania the cause of christ row is greater than his own legacy and so he comes to wash em and he says if Co National Academy closed the home oh sorry shalida may I share with the god of the spirits of all flesh appoint a man over the Assembly find somebody who's going to lead over everybody and one of the qualities of all the qualifications that he is that he's looking for so the plastic tells us I should I tell him I'll show you have olefin and I show you the a my show you the aim here the quality here's the criteria if you're putting it out there here's the job description to lead party strong he has to walk out before them and come in before them take them out and bring them in and lotia Hashem kotonoha never let them be like a flock was lacking a shepherd that's what I'm looking for it says Moshe so what is this language I shared say it lifts my hem along the list of criteria of qualifications appoint a man who will go out before them and come in before them who shall take them out and bring them in what does it mean a surety who will go out before them so the beautiful safer clinic mahasaya Torah it's a beautiful safer and in here he says the following about this clause the motion of Vania was saying she even the ishyama either show you to the from a hammer shaggy em saw a snap show and call Adam Israel will this leader be mostly nefesh for every member of Claudius well cars are Leo's a mechanic to be a mechanic to be a parent to be an educator to be a rabbi to be a leader is you have to be willing to be most our nefesh for the people you have to be willing to be most of your nefesh for the people the way I put it is the following this is what I look for the people on our team and this is what I try to demand of myself and those around me is this your calling or is this a career is it a profession or is it a calling do you say I won't do it if I'm not paid or I put them in in many hours I'm not doing any more you go above and beyond are you satisfied with the minimal or do you seek the maximum is it a career or is it a calling what is it what is it and that's what Marsha Levine was telling a chef I need you to help me find somebody that's not their career they're not doing it for the wrong reasons they're doing it because they're calling they're willing to be most significant to compromise and risk and put themselves on the line they're willing to do that for the Jewish people it's what it's really it is what it's really all about then I sought them to help us it cause I interrogate very good cause I'm positive Cass continuing a Shem says no problem or Marshall no Moshe I got your man succession done you know your man is Catholic SEO Shubin Anisha chef beau miss a mock de sel cough take your man you sure your boy yoshua the one who always stays after and cleans up the classroom the one who drinks from your feet the one who's thirsty for everything you have to say he's your man Yahshua the monitor so and you're gonna put your hands over him and pass the coffin I saw from the hotel a lot of the Mangeshkar das bonito you're going to put your Majesty on him so that everybody will listen to him what does that mean you're going to put your majesty on him so everybody will listen to him we're running out of time but they're with me a couple more minutes because it is it is worth it you're gonna put your majesty and into a crime of emotion or the greater crime the legend er says the following why does this kingdom have to be there what does the plastic specifically say he says take your shoe of the known each our rock though he's got a lot of Ruach you know in kampl we've got ruoff yes we do we've got ruler how about you yo Sherwood win colour where every year he won the Ruach contest he's a shamrock bow we have to define what that means if we weren't out of time I'd spent some time on this I shall rock but what does it mean you're sure is he's got rural yes he does he's got rock how about you Yamato saw where he's supposed to put him in front of Eleazar with Nicola ADA the TV so so lorina him and give him a command I sought them out and take your majesty of your glory and put it on on him says it off she's looked around she quoted my bubble bath sighing hey the loca loca don't give him all your majesty save some but put your majesty on him the kingdom's Abbasid or umrah tenemos acapella harmony oh sure accompany lavona or lola awesome Busha le laasa clima so rash across the Gemara sow that the rabbi's the elders of that generation said they watched this transition they watched this succession and they said what the face of motions like the face of the Sun and the face of your shoes like the face of the moon why is it specifically this kingdom who will observe this why is this Kanan who note this so to find vulajin ER the great primary student of the Vilna Gaon the hind the legend says you know white staff canvas came the older people the following reason because the younger people thought that you know what Moshe is not really greater than Joshua Moshe is at the end of his career yoshua is at the beginning of his career give Yahshua all those years he'll end up as greatest motion you can't compare and contrast it's not apples to apples motions at the end of his career issues at the beginning of his career so who was the only one who knew Moshe at the beginning of his career who can say no even at the beginning of his career Moshe was categorically different and greater than Yahshua that was this kingdom the Canaan had the perspective of history of time they no motion a new motion is youth and therefore they're able to accurately compare and contrast and to testify that the face of notions like the face of the Sun in the face of your shoe is like the face of the moon what does that mean what is this comparison of the face of the Sun the face of the Moon what does that mean so so Roderick explains many explain this way that what it means is the following the Sun is a primary source of light the Sun is a source of light the Sun is not greater than the moon because of its size it's not the comparison of greatness of the Sun versus the moon is because of size it's not the the quantity to the quality the Sun is a originator it is a source of light and the moon is only a reflector of light the moon mirrors or reflects the light and the Sun is the source of light and that's what it means today motion they found pannier show Queen Levana that you schewe of course was a great disciple but he reflected back everything he learned from his teacher moshe introduced new things and yoshua reflected back the things that he had seen from his teacher rabbi salivate check yeah that's what we say in a bris we wish this Charles a cotton God only here right now he's a cotton he simply reflecting his parents Gedaliah may be an originator of light himself and you see that from the Sun on the moon the Sun is called the more I got on the moon is called the more high cotton all I want to say about all this but I want to end with one more thought because it connects to our fast day on Thursday so bear with me for one more moment and I thank yous for those who are still with us the parsha has in it at the end the story of the Corbin Tom and its Achilles I thought I said oh bugger it's a keV associates had been taught by him you'd bring off for one lamb in the morning one in the afternoon this is the story of the carbon Talmud the daily sacrifice that was offered each and every day every single day in the Masonic - until when until it stopped until it was put to a stop the Babylonians really leads laid siege and we're an ant and animals they're the carbon Tommen was ended and that happened on Shabbat Sabha Thomas one of the five reasons were given why we fast in the 17th of Thomas Wawa fast as Thursday is it was the end of the carbon Talmud why don't we mourn the end of a carbon Talmud what's so important about a carbon Talmud that were crying for its loss because something that we took as part of our pattern as part of our habit as part of our ritual namely the daily sacrifice was put to an end when something you know one of the challenges of this pandemic how many people who had certain habits positive habits and lifestyles which the pandemic deprived us of and and put to an abrupt halt and stopped and it's devastating it's painful we offered that carbon every morning every night weekday Shabbos Yom Kippur it didn't matter Cal Ripken jr. record we did it every single day day in and day out and the Babylonians lead siege and we were no longer able to do it and that was devastating and it's one of the reasons we fast but it's much more significant than that you know they in Yaakov quotes a Midrash Metris nobody's have found but a Madras that says that the Jew the rabbi's got together to debate what is the most significant matter what is the bumper sticker what is the great statement of the Jewish people and one of them proposed I would give this you dramatically but we're out of time one of them proposed it is the AHA Florida Africa moja what is the matter the bumper sticker of the Jewish people love your neighbor as yourself and the other said no it's my use for Latino hafadh it is a statement of Jewish unity and the third stood up and said no it's a sec cameras I felt I said babe okay but I said Kevin so hard to sub in on by him the morning in the what are you talking about that's the most important they voted of course undoubtedly this conference was at the home wok hotel and they voted what is the matter the bumper sticker maybe the Concorde what is the matter a bumper sticker of the Jewish people and they voted it is it's like a Visa cards I said they're bogus ecchymosis it now a neat I said Bernard by him the carbon tell me that's the matter that's the bumper sticker and the answer is yes because if we don't have consistency and constancy if we are not reliable and dependable if we're not willing to do a day in and day out we have nothing Judaism is not a casual relationship it's not something we do when we feel like it it's something that is part of our very identity it's part of our core is with us whenever and wherever we go on vacation or at home it's like a status of marriage you're not married while you're at home but if you're on vacation or a business trip you're single marriage is part of your core who you are and it informs and inspires everything you're doing everywhere you go and that is the consistency that Torah and mitzvot was demand the daily grind every morning and every afternoon and that was what was denied from us and that's why we fast on Thursday when we think about it this Thursday Jehoshaphat Thomas the loss of that carbon thumb at the loss of that capacity for consistency so the in real time and we end with this you knew that I wasn't gonna get out without an emery time the henryka visionary says the found one he says it's a
