Cursed for Eternity: Zohar Parashat Tazria

Going into the Torah, we go into the Zad in Paraz page 51A. Here the Z teaches about what happened with Gazi. Gazi was the servant, the Gabay of Alicia Navi. who lied and desecrated the name of God in such a big way that the dream page 98 says that he lost his share of the world to come. The short version of the story is aside from all of the other sins that Ghazi did, whether it was immorality or uh withholding uh Torah students from learning Torah or lying and false vows. The biggest thing was the fact that uh he um lied to his rabbi to Alicia and Avi when Nam the general of the army of who had the famous biblical disease that there's still a hospital in Yushim for people that have as it's incurable uh with anything uh you know with any medicine of this world. It's a spiritual disease that also has physical implications. And when Nam came with and was cured miraculously by following the uh guidance of Alicia Navi by going and dipping into the Jordan River. This of course was a big hashem. This was completely miraculous. It had nothing to do with the water. It had to do with him humbling himself and listening to the da to the opinion of the Torah. After this, Nan wanted to convert to Judaism and wanted to convince his entire nation to convert to Judaism. And that's what he was planning to do. After getting cured, he also wanted to give an enormous amount of money and anything else that Alicia would ask for. But Alicia rejected everything, saying to him that he's not looking for money, power, or anything else. He's happy that he was able to help him and to sanctify God's name, and that's it. He wanted nothing in return. Na man was so happy about this that he was ready to convert himself and his entire nation to Judaism. But Gazi the servant of Alicia chased after Nan and asked him for money, clothing and all types of things in the name of Alicia. seeing that Alicia was you know too humble to ask directly but surely he would need something from you. He uh he is requesting and he sent me and when uh uh Alicia found this out, he cursed Gazi with a curse that lasts until this day. As the verse in the book of Kings 27 says, that will will cleave onto you and your uh descendants forever. That's the background of the zah. Why did he curse him that way? because he made after this nan although still impressed by Alicia the prophet he no longer wanted to convert he wanted he decided to become a righteous noahite which means that gazi stopped not just one person and his family from converting to Judaism but an entire people millions of people from converting to Judaism from becoming Torah scholars from becoming something that sanctifies a name unlike anything else. And therefore, Alicia cursed Gazi with this horrible curse. And the Torah says that Gazi on the spot became white. And his children also had Sarah. All of them had. In fact, any of his descendants that are still alive today would still have as said today. I'm sure that if any of descendants are alive today, they're in that hospital in haveat. Why? This was a curse that has no end in this world. So the zar asks in the name of who asks the question that you're probably asking. We understand that Gaz did something terrible, but why curse his kids? What did they do? Why were Gaz's children cursed, too? says Elisha the prophet saw a level of prophecy unlike any other in his generation. He saw prophecy beyond the norm. Let's see if there is a norm in prophecy. And he was able to see all of the descendants that would come out of Gazi until the end of times. And he confirmed that not a single descendant of Gazi would ever be a righteous person. And it's therefore better that these descendants have why Fry gave a perfect explanation for this. He said in one of the videos it was live like we have usually on Tik Tok and Facebook there's always a couple of terrorists there that are spiritual terrorists but once in a while there's literally a real life terrorists especially since October 7th. So these Muslims come and they curse and they promise they're going to kill people and they do all types of things. And in one of his uh lectures, there was somebody like this that was making awful remarks, threats, and one of the Jewish people that was listening made a comment also, why don't you block him? Why don't you block this terrorist? And Reverend Fryman is extraordinary wisdom says, why should I block him? Why should I block him? I don't care about what he says about me and the cursing and the insult and so on. In fact, I'm happy that he's here. Why? Because if he's here busy cursing me on the internet and being a terrorist on the internet, at least he's not a terrorist in the street killing our people. It's better he's here than being on the streets joining kamas or working for kamas as he has his his whole life since he was 5 years old. It's better. Same concept here. Alisha saw the descendants of Gazi and saw that not a single one of them will be righteous. In fact, they're all going to be problematic people. And therefore he said it's better that they have and therefore because of they are not part of society not part of the Jewish society they're in outside of the camp they're in special hospitals and so on. Furthermore, Alicia said to Gazi, "I was rewarded a double reward as I requested from Elawa Navi to give me double the amount of miracles that he was able to perform and I was rewarded that." Why? because I was a servant of Eli Yawa Navi and I did my job with full honesty and sacrifice. But you hurt me because you lied to me and served dishonestly making false vows and therefore you'll be punished severely in this world with this and his descendants having in order for you to eventually have. Why? Because even though he served him with lies, there were parts of his servitude that were good, that actually helped Alicia study Torah, that helped Alicia serve Hashem. That part of the servitude, let it not go to waste. We'll use that to give you an entrance to Aabah. But that means you'll have to get an enormous punishment first. First, you should know that this actually conflicts with the opinion that says that does not have a share of the world to come or at least the intent of Alicia would conflict with what the sages said of Gaz and having a share of the world to come. They say he doesn't. Of course, we always go with the but the point being is we see the intentions of the righteous Alicia. Even though Gazi was wicked and evil, he still had mercy on this person by without changing the Torah rather by saying you deserve an extraordinary punishment for making a false vow. The Torah says somebody makes a false vow losea. But in order to get that, you'll have to in order to get that back and have a chance of getting back, you'll have to suffer an extraordinary suffering in this world. And of course, all the other stuff, but eventually still have a ticket to that will ultimately allow you in whenever that sentence is over. So instead of it never ending, the punishment never ending. So we see still without changing the Torah, you can still show mercy there is a punishment necessary, but there's still mercy at the end. We are meant to be a light unto the nations, not to follow their misguided practices. Remember, every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew. We don't celebrate non-Jewish holidays, even if they seem harmless. It's a zil disrespect to the Torah and could lead to chalu hashem, desecration of God's name. Stick to our holy Torah and our own holidays. That's the path of a true Jew.
