Daily Chidush: Why Did I Get A Death Threat During ParaShat Chukat Lecture?

hello how are you we had a great sh earlier today talking about but also several other issues this week's is connected to last week's uh of last week's K where in last week's Paras we uh heard the horrendous situation that happened with korak where despite being righteous all of his life despite being very very wealthy despite being from a great family he steered wrong and led himself his family with the exception of his kids who did chuva in the last minute his wife as well as the other 250 leaders of uh am Isel straight into sh straight into G from what from going against Moshe going against Aon which of course if you do that you're going against God and this is is connected toat which the beginning of the par starts with the one particular mitvah the King Solomon the wisest man of all time says in Ecclesiastes chapter 7 verse 23 I said I would be wise but it is far from me King Solomon said that this this Mitzvah of the red heer the red cow is something that's beyond my wisdom I don't understand it so kazal asks why is it that this parasha is connected to that one I mean usually the par usually the uh weekly Torah portions are relevant to each other it's either continuation of an existing story or it's just each one is connecting with a mitvah there's always some type of connection so how is the story of kak you know his wickedness connected to a mitvah that no one understands so here is explaining to us something very very important why did kak fail kak failed because he started to use his own logic in replacement of hashem's logic in replacement of divine logic when he saw that Moshe andon became the leaders of am Isel because AEM chose them he didn't like it too much he said listen how could it be especially being influenced by his by his wife saying how could it be we come from the same family we're both from the levy tribe I'm richer than them I'm also wise I also know Torah why would they be leaders and not me especially Aon Aon okay Moshe let's say hasem chose him okay let's say we can give that an excuse in his mind he says let's say we can give them an excuse but why why Aron is it possible that maybe hasem really didn't choose him and things didn't fit right in his brain because it didn't make sense to him so then he started asking questions so wait a minute M you said that we have a mitvah according to what you say it's it's in the Tor it's from hasem you say that we have a mvah of putting a mza on putting a mza on but what if I have a house full of T full of the Scrolls of Torah from Top to bottom or bottom to top have an Eiffel Tower or a better said a uh a seir tower full of do I still have to have a muza on the door M says yes they're two different MIT says yeah but it doesn't make sense because the uh SE over 34,800 letters it's full of Torah and I'm having thousands and thousands of T and A mza what does it have it has a couple of paragraphs from the Tor why would I need these couple of paragraphs if I have thousands of them doesn't make any sense and this human logic failed him and led him all the way to G not understanding the Mitzvah can sometimes get us to a point where if we don't have the right foundation get us to a point of completely destroying our soul and this is exactly why kazal says that which means this is the decree or decree is connected because this says this is the decree of the Torah butat also comes from the word means engraved so Hashem is telling us about this wonderful Mitzvah of the red cow the red heer that we don't understand really how it works because the whole point of the red heer the red cow is to purify the nation if somebody touched a a dead body or became imp purified in one way or another they used the red heer in order to purify them after slaughtering the uh the cow they would add a few other ingredients to it and then they would use this to purify the nation anyone that became impure can become pure with this uh with this red heer but the illogical part the part that we don't understand with human logic better said is that the one that's actually going to that's preparing this whether it's the slaughterer or it's the Coen that sprinkles the blood or it's the one that actually sprinkles the water of you know after they mix it in they uh they all become contaminated so how could the one that's helping people become pure becoming contaminated himself this doesn't make sense this is exactly what King Solomon says but this is why hasem said this Torah is engraved in you meaning that whether you understand it or not is irrelevant you just have lowly human logic I have Divine logic and my Divine logic is not like writing on a wall that you could erase my Divine logic is engraved when something is written on the wall you could easily erase it whereas when something is engraved it becomes part of what it's engraved in and that's one of the things we have to understand when it comes to Torah if we don't understand something according to the gar and according to the sages if something is beyond our logic it has nothing to do with the Mitzvah meaning there's no flaw in the mitvah there's Shalom no flaw in hashem's Logic the flaw is within us and that's one of the things that people have a hard time understanding the key here is that first we must do and then we can start asking questions the reason why I thought about this is because tonight we we had a great Shure but during the sh as you know we have our uh post our um shim posted on YouTube and one of these wicked wicked people who goes by the name of Jor Rodriguez I'm sure it's a fake name decided that you know he watched the wasting seed the very very popular and very very moving and very strong Shure that we made bashem in New York called wasting seedit and he decided that he didn't like what he heard so he decided to write a bunch of comments threatening my life and threatening my family's life and he wrote all these wonderful things about how he's going to do this and he's going to do that and the reality of it is that aside from it being disturbing and aside from you know me knowing that obviously the one who decides who lives and the one who decides who succeeds or the opposite is only in the hands of Hashem and definitely not in the hands of some that is sitting in front of his computer feeling strong because no one's next to him the reality of it is that I know the truth but I'm thinking to myself why would somebody take their time watch the shoe and if you like it you like it great maybe helps you do chuva if you don't like it then okay then you just press you know a different button and move to a different shoe or move to a different video do something else with your life why go out of your way to make awful comments threatening my life threatening my family why would you do something like this and this is exactly where this parasa comes in when we think like K and that things are supposed to make sense to us and if they don't make sense to us then everyone else has to be wrong and it's not us then of course you're going to make comments like this of course you're going to say stupidity and foolishness like this but when we realize what Hashem actually did write in the Torah and you see that this Torah does not change that's why we all need to understand there's no such thing as modernizing the Torah there's no such thing as changing the Torah in any way shape or form whatever we got from Mount Si is what we follow today whatever is applic applicable obviously we cannot do the of the bet mikdash because we don't have the BET mikdash unfortunately this does not make those MIT not valid what it makes them is that they're put on Holdem when hasem brings us the third bet mikdash those MIT become applicable immediately theim has to be pure have to become purified we have to get a red cow which there's two of them in the world now everything becomes applicable immediately the same thing goes with Shabbat if someone has a life danger then Shabbat is put on hold it's not cancelled it's put on hold we obviously all Jews must keep Shabbat not allowed to drive not allowed to play with your phone not allowed to play with money not even allowed to talk about business but Shalom if there's life danger it's actually a to take that person drive them to the hospital or do whatever is necessary to get them out of life Danger but this does not mean that the Shabbat is canell Shalom what it means is the Shabbat is put on hold until there's no longer danger which means that as soon as someone if someone took somebody else to the hospital as soon as they arrive to the hospital and the danger is gone the danger stopped you know the uh the doctors picked up the patient and taken care of him immediately Shabbat gets turned back on which means that you can't even turn off the car you can't go back home you can't play with your phone and call the family and tell them listen everything's okay you get there you get them out of danger and Shabbat is no longer on hold it goes right back in so the sages ask why do this why you allow Shabbat to put on hold isn't Shabbat the most important Mitzvah yes it is but sages explain we only do this not because life is more important than Shabbat but rather because the Shabbat is more important even than life how do we know the only reason we're putting Shabbat on hold is so the life can be saved and the person and their their n their soul can keep many more shabbats due to putting the Shabbat on hold and this is one of the things that to some people this is 100% logical makes a lot of sense because they've made the Torah made in t an engravement in their soul an engravement in their heart whereas the people that say no this doesn't make any sense how could this be life is much more important well then you have to ask yourself am I korak or am I Moses of course we know that the fool that made those foolish comments because he didn't like what the sages in the Torah writes about wasting seed of course we know where he which Camp he's in he's going to go and unless he does chuva he's going to have a VIP session and an eternal session in the same place that kak finds himself till this day but hopefully does chuva hopefully he listens to this specific sh why because you realize these laws that we talk about in the sh have nothing to do with me have nothing to do with me this is not my opinion I provide zero opinion especially in this year anytime I provide my opinion I let people know it's my opinion the reality it is that we must all realize when Hashem said that these are the laws and these laws are engraved what he's telling you is that whether you understand it or not they're permanent they're Eternal and whether you like it or not you must follow it those who follow get reward those who don't unfortunately for them get punishment this is one of the 13 principles of faith that the rambam told us that we must repeat every day at the end of Shak or usually that's the uh culture to repeat at the end of the morning prayer there 13 principles of faith and one of them one key one that everyone must believe and follow is that the righteous get rewarded and the wicked get punished there's no such thing as a get out of jail free card once this particular mission in this life once this life is over you can't show up to Sham and say no no no I wasn't ready this is not child's play this is not kids games so we have to understand we always have to tell people the truth based on what Hashem told us in Mount Sai based on what he told the sages based on what's written based on what's known with zero sugar coating why because the key is for us to know and at least we can make the right decisions and start figuring out a way of what we need to do to change in ourself in order to make the Torah engraved in our hearts mayem continue to bless you and we'll talk soon
