Naso 5786

Parasi is the longest para in the terra. A lot of it is just a repetition of the corbonus of the nium. But there are some very very fundamental and basicus in paras. One of which is the whole para of nauseier. A noir is a person that accepts upon himself not to drink wine or alcoholic product or you know products made of grapes etc. And he also agrees not to go to funerals etc. And he's called the Nazir. And it's a whole process. He lets his hair grow. He has to let his hair grow. But when he decides to finish the Nazerus, he goes ahead. What? It's a whole process. But he has to bring certain corbonus and he has to come to the bases. So the Pik refers to that is right. When the NOS finishes his his appointed time of being a nosermy yo means he should bring him to now who's him is he is the noer. So but yi o means he should bring someone else. That's a very strange way of saying it. I mean if in modern Hebrew we say or he should come but yo means he should bring him who's the himymn that he is bringing. So the truth of the matter is that the that the uifra which is a uh commentary on on par forbar do other people bring the nazer while who may be he brings himself. So even though the puss would seem to say that someone else is bringing him or he's bringing somebody else but it's not true he comes himself why then does the terror wait in such a right such a strange fashion he should bring him who was uh I can't say enough words how great the mesh was if you get Mishbah magazine over Pesak there was a very very long essay about if you want to know who he was that's a very good source to begin with but he wrote a classic parish on the Tyra called Mashahma actually it was the first work that he were he wrote he wrote what he's more famous for is the or on the Rambam but his father told them. Don't p don't publish the meshma first because all they'll do is think that you're a darian. You're a nice speaker, you're a nice writer. Write the or on the Rambam which is the classic safer on the Rambam and then publish the be that it is may. It's a beautiful safer. It's a unique safer. He writes some sometimes he writes so poetically the language is beautiful. So the mesh writes over there a very interesting thing. He says the time of how how long does a person how long does the last answer is it's really up to the person. The gammor tells us stand if a person says he means 30 days but the truth of the matter is it could be 30 days it could be 300 days it in fact could be an entire lifetime. It's another another oil. So why why didn't usually the Torah gives us you know there's a certain time limit. Well we you do this for x amount of days like a mater you do this for seven days or 14 days etc etc. Here it's open-ended. So the mesh really explains that the reason it's open-ended is because the person who's a nause feels he has to do something to change his life, the direction of his life. He feels he's overcome by his passions whether his passions is for wine or something like that. He just feels he's not in control of himself. And uh you know if you take for instance you know person's an alcoholic you know he he can't stop the he can't stop drinking and it can ruin a person's life and today we have all sorts of programs alcoholics anonymous etc. There's medication but basically the person feels I'm not in control and certainly that's the case with with drug addiction. Um a person becomes overcome with his addiction and that's all that matters in his life and a person will throw away everything in his life his family his job his career everything because he's addicted to to to drugs. So people in that such a situation feel I've got to get control of myself. So this nose here that for whatever reason feels he's not in charge anymore. He's he's he's blinded by his passions, whatever they may be. Says, "I'm going to become a nosier and I'm going to get my my life back." How long does that take? For some people could be 30 days. For some people could be uh a year. Some people could be many years. For some people says, "I have to do this for the rest of my life." But that's why the Torah does not mandate an exact amount of time because it's when the person feels I'm now once again in control with that the goes on to say is to go ahead and to abstain from luxuries and pleasures etc. on. There's no specific time for that. You have to decide whether you finally think that you're in in control any again. That's why the Torah doesn't give amount of time. So with this the explains beautifully this the comes now I'm now in control I'm not the same person that I used to be that person could go ahead and stop drinking a bottle of wine I'm not bringing that person that self the person that I was I'm bringing him to the base amigdesh and now saying I'm now in control that person was out of control that's not me that's who I was you bring that person to the base of mish but I am a new person I'm aer who is in control beautiful in that p so with this the I I saw the the beia or uh His name is rather probably Horowitz from the long long island is Alicia Horowitz etc person. He tells too a very famous Gamorra which is also the language of that gamorra is a little strange. The Gmorra says over there If a noir actually becomes rich originally impure by coming in contact with a dead person, he has to bring a special carbon. It's called an asham nozzer. If you're learning a manus, you know about these nouns, vok minus, you should be familiar. So he says, "I never I never ever partake parttook of a ashamnoser except for one. I once met a person that came from the south." The guy was a gorgeous guy, a beautiful guy, a pants person. And he had his hair in a certain fashion martily. So, and he but he was in nosier. He just kind of beautiful crop of hair and now he's in no have to shave it all off. What on earth possessed you to go ahead to become a ner that you have to shave off that your beautiful locks? I used to be a shepherd and I took the sheep down to the pond to drink and I saw my reflection in the pond and I felt the hor getting on control of me. I said to him, "Russia, he became he saw himself in the in the in the uh in the pond." He became enamored of himself. I am this beautiful human specimen. I mean, uh the women are going to be running after me. He felt himself being overcome with his beauty, with his ego. He said, so he says, "Russia, now who's he talking to? Who's he calling a Russia?" In the end, we all go to the grave. up. I swear I'll become a got up. I I kissed him. All ner should be like you. The question is the same thing. He says to Russia, who is he talking to? He's talking to himself because he feels now that he was having an outer body experience to use a more modern term. And I see I'm not the person. This isn't me. This is a Russia that's trying to take over me and lead me down the wrong path. I'm not going to let it happen. I'm going to become a ner. I'm going to come once again assert kayak over myself and that is why the he brings him he brings that other person that old person his old self and that is the the ultimate in being a nazir and doing it for the right reason.
