here's something seriously problematic
god is good
[Music]
she's probably butting my shirt right
probably a respectable thing to do
we'll pretend that you didn't see that
and here i am pretending as if that
wasn't my intention to begin the video
in a weird way welcome to the late
show all right
in this week's tour portion we learn
about the para adu ma
the red heifer which is basically the
purification procedure
that cures purifies one who is
ritually impure legally impure
legal impurification is rectified
by this legal right of
purification the speed has got to stop
there is another type of impurity that
isn't
a legal situation that isn't
merely a ritual impurity it is a
spiritual
impurity now of course the two are
linked but they're not exactly the same
okay what are you talking about
the spiritual impurity that i'm talking
about is
well the spiritual impurity that
unfortunately
is the status quo for the time being
because we are not living in a world
where mashiach is revealed
to everyone everywhere it's up to us
to reveal mashiach in our own life on an
individual level
so that on a collective level and on a
global level
we as in us people and god can
experience
in the most tangible sense this will
happen
sooner than we all think but be a part
of it
get in moshiach mode it sounds like an
ad but
well i guess that's what this is i'm i'm
begging you
and i'm not asking for your credit card
information
please get in mashiach mode increasing
in the joy in your life the love for
another person
the love for your fellow people do
another act
of goodness kindness do another mitzvah
and study more torah this is mushy
live in the mindset of redemption of
gibula
and this will happen immediately wait
wait wait
i failed to explain something what is
the correlation between
not seeing mashiach and us being
spiritually
impure well let's put it this way
mitzvos
the commandments that are in the torah
god's manual
for our life is life
as it says in deuteronomy chapter 4
verse 4
and all of you today who are cleaving to
god are all alive
i i i messed up that translation i just
wanted to be cool and say deuteronomy
chapter four verse four what wasn't cool
i know it's like the opposite of cool
but yeah anyways
speaking of the opposite of cool sin is
the opposite of
life a dead body the opposite of life
is a source of ritual impurity so to
recap doing what the source of life
tells you to do is life is
purity and not doing that
or going against that god forbid
is the opposite of life an impurity and
of course should we god forbid choose to
do a deed which is the opposite of life
we don't just
drop because then what choice would we
have
to choose life like then there's no
choice now
the fact that we can even make a choice
between
good and evil between following god
and not is mind-boggling how can we
reject the source of our life why is it
even possible that we can go against
the creator the constant creator who
creates
constantly recreates animates
vivifies heaven and earth and everything
in it
into existence at every moment including
me and you
why how can i go against my own source
of life the source of life
and still live i mean how does that even
make any sense
the problem god is good yes that's a
problem
because since god is so good god wants
to give us the greatest good but the
greatest good
can't be given it needs to be deserved
we need to work for it that way we can't
appreciate the actual goodness of it
otherwise it's cheap otherwise it's it's
free it can't be given
that's not the greatest so in order for
us to deserve this greatest good
hashem the source of life literally
hides behind his creation within nature
within the world this way we actually
weigh our options
when we have the opportunity to do a
mitzvah or god forbid
not to the mitzvah or or an actual
aveira
otherwise if we would see the source of
life and everything it
it wouldn't be we wouldn't weigh our
options like what
ladies and gentlemen by now we
deserve hashem to be revealed in the
world
and any moment now we will see that this
whole world
is hashem's garden as hashem's home
where hashem
is exposed we deserve this
but right now at least as of the making
of this video it hasn't happened in the
most total
and complete sense yet so let us grab
this literal last moment
when we can still make the choice and
make the choice
so hashem sees we're already in mashiach
